There is only one reason the EU are still at the table  - they have looked at the numbers ????

Or alternatively, in the above sentence replace 'EU' with 'UK'.

The idea that another country cannot get a good trade deal with the EU,  says a lot about the EU, right?  It is time the UK gets away from the Belgium controlled Union.

EU can't change, the bureaucracy and veto set up is too rigid, so they must try and force the UK to agree.

One thing a border will interrupt Rob is the consolidation of goods into Schiphol then across the channel as it becomes more economical to ship direct. Be careful what you wish for ????

This has nothing to do with bureaucracy but with making sure there is no state support and unfair competition. Also products must meet minimum criteria. This way they all compete on the same level. This is a great thing as it abolishes unfair competition. 

 

This really is the basis of the one market. Its one of the basic principles. All the UK does is creating more bureaucracy because they cannot accept it. Its stupid and will cost them dearly.

Belgium controlled ? I am sure Belgium would wish this but its a small player just like my country. The powers are France and Germany. But I am sure you know this. Did you mean that the center of power of the EU is in Belgium or are you a referring to something else ?

BJ has lost an ally in the US because of the election. Trump wanted to help BJ with deals as he did not like the EU. Biden likes the EU. The problems for the UK are only getting worse.

 

Anyway EU should just stop and take the hit and let the Brits take the bigger hit. They should never ever compromise on the level playing field (and I am sure they wont). If the UK wont want to confirm just cut them off. 

 

The UK has a point about fishing, let them be strong on that, but thinking they can get out from the level playing field and not accept the EU's its wishes is just unrealistic.

That rant is exactly why leave Brits left the EU, two faced hatred of the country that saved them from tyranny.

You talk about stiffing the UK, well you would, as usual, plain as day....????

Any trade agreement that is reached must regulate issues ranging from trade and student exchanges to energy ties and transport, and has to be ratified by the more than 700 members of the European Parliament to be enacted. The approval of the 27 EU member states is also required.

That says it all in my book, UK should never of joined in the first place.

 

Remember my Dad opposing the treaty way back in the 70's he said something along these lines but not so politely to print,  a politician put it better. 

 

 "This is a treaty which carries the most formidable and far-reaching obligations. It is a treaty—the first in our history—which would deprive the British Parliament and people of democratic rights which they have exercised for many centuries."

Probably even more than that with his other names and he then likes his own posts. That is narcissistic of the highest form????.

I have friends in India, good to see a report like this about EU.

Another true report that the EU wouldn't like and why these silly clubs don't work.

 

"The EU has struggled to function as each member state has its own form of government, lower and upper houses of parliament, chief executive, capital, flag, constitution, language, and fiscal policy of taxing and spending. Yet it is governed by a single monetary policy and currency.

To make it all work, each state is supposed to strictly follow the Bloc’s unbending rules about everything, from trade to migration, to employment laws, and the environment. The bureaucrats in Brussels wield enormous power to manage the unwieldy union but delays, frustration, and gridlock are common.

Take Brexit. The EU’s Article 50 is just 250 words long and defines how a member state can leave the EU. Nearly three years after the Brexit vote, a dysfunctional House of Commons in London and an equally dysfunctional EU Parliament have been unable to negotiate an exit.

So, this month, the UK will actually be voting in the EU Parliamentary elections as a full member while also wanting to honour a democratic referendum to leave the union.

Yes, this is the mighty EU today reminding the world that excessive centralized control come at a huge cost. Indian political parties should recognize that copying the EU model would forever stymie growth, raise deficits and bankrupt India, a chilling prospect for the world’s fastest-growing economy."

So other than nationalistic BS you haven't come up with one sensible reason for leaving the EU.

I don't have to give you any reason for leaving the EU, I don't even want to know why you want to remain in the EU, do you know why, because we have already left and moving on, you haven't, same as the other tearful foot stompers here...

 You could always emigrate to an EU country of your dreams, I think Romania plays football....

You cannot lose an arguement when there's nothing to argue about.

 

I'll lay it down again, give me one sensible reason why we are going to be better off than we are now

 

Its not difficult. I'm open for debate and will reason with someone who has a strong compelling answer. Hell, I might even be persuaded that we've made the right decision.

Nothing to debate about, we have already left, the country voted in a democratic referendum to remain or leave, the decision was to leave and that was 5 years ago, a lot of water has gone under that proverbial bridge as well as the many reasons as to why the country has come to that decision in the last 60 months. It has been discussed to death and as you stated "Look it up, I'm not doing your work for you."
