You can’t leave and then expect to be allowed to cherry pick the conditions you’d love to have either!

But surely that applies to both sides of a dispute.

 

Just like the EU cherry picking which conditions they would 'allow' the UK to Brexit with. OK, you can leave but there are some conditions: 
We still want the same rights to your fish,

We still want to make all the rules about your state aid

We still want to make you subject to our courts

We still want your money and lots of other things which were hidden in the WA and not being publicized in the trade negotiations

We still want to cherry pick from the UK treasure island

I was referring only to the issue of chlorine washing, not doing a compare and contrast. Chlorine washing itself is safe according to the article. If you feel the need to down a KFC banquet three times a day then there might be a problem, I suppose! 

 

I refer you again to the conclusion of the Grocer article.

Quote

Following concerns raised by the poultry industry over the dual-tariff proposals, Environment secretary George Eustice and international trade secretary Liz Truss have written a joint letter to MPs insisting they won’t relax standards.

The government remained “firmly committed to upholding our high environmental, food safety and animal welfare standards outside the EU”, the letter said. These standards included a ban on artificial growth hormones and set out that “no products, other than potable water, are approved to decontaminate poultry carcases”.

(7by7 emphasis)

 It seems that the government, as well as most poultry farmers in the UK, do not share the Grocer's view!

The ECJ is largely founded on British common law, and had its share of British judges/members. 

 

In the EU, it's "our market our rules", the UK might want things to look special because of British exceptionalism, but it will still be "our market our rules", just with more red tape because the Brits want their own special thing. 

 

For forty years, the Brits have been a pain in the EU and even now when going out, they are a real pain. This British exceptionalism is a real pain. 

 

Hilarious. EU (ECJ) Law is founded on Roman Law. Get with the system lol.

We can leave anytime we want to; in fact, although you don't seem to have noticed, we have already left!

 

The conditions you list are their stance on a negotiated FTA between us and them.

 

Well, the first three on your list are.

 

The same rights to our fish? The rights that UK fleet owners sold to them. We also want the same rights to fish in their waters as we currently have.

 

Rules on state aid? The same rules that they will be subject to. But maybe you'd prefer EU manufacturers to receive large state subsidies on their exports to the UK so they can undercut UK manufacturers here?

 

Subject to the ECJ? Exactly the same as all other countries which have an FTA with the EU. But only to resolve any disputes arising from the FTA; nothing else. Why go to the expense of setting up an arbitration chamber when one already exists which is acceptable to every other country the EU has a FTA with and would probably be little used anyway?

 

The last two on your list are pure conjecture on your part; unless you can provide evidence with which to back them up?

Yes, EU law; not the general term 'European law' which covers the individual laws of each European country, EU member or not.

 

EU law is based upon treaties: Types of EU law

Quote

The European Union is based on the rule of law. This means that every action taken by the EU is founded on treaties that have been approved democratically by its members. EU laws help to achieve the objectives of the EU treaties and put EU policies into practice. There are two main types of EU law – primary and secondary. 

 

Tell us on which page your book contradicts that.

The proof is in the research and other statistics quoted.

 

From The Economist 24/10/20:

Quote

When the post-Brexit transition period ends and Britain leaves the single market on December 31st, financial links with the eu will become, in the words of its new financial-services chief, Mairead McGuinness, “less fluid”. That is putting it mildly. British-registered financial firms will lose the “passporting” rights that have long allowed them to sell funds, debt, advice or insurance to clients across the eu unimpeded, as if they were domestic. Thousands of jobs and well over £1trn ($1.3trn) of assets have already been shifted to continental Europe as City firms confront this new friction.

Not 'may be' but 'already been!'

A not unexpected reply; because for you and other Brexiteers these moans and unsubstantiated allegations are not moans and unsubstantiated allegations. They are the 'proof' you desperately need in order to continue in your belief that you put your cross in the right box in 2016!

That's not the case the EU didn't want UK to leave in the first place.

What's the betting that they continue their moaning after we are out of the transition period and trade negotiations? 

"There must be another referendum on the negotiation results."

"We want a peoples negotiation."

"Frost didn't know what he was negotiating for." 

"All negotiators are idiots."

I do not see your point, AFAIK Roman and Common Law intertwined for centuries and they do in European Law as well. 

 

Now, I cannot read the 274 pages (and saw no mention of ECJ), so please sum it up for us since you evidently read this book before posting ...

Even if that was true, it is up to each member state itself to leave or not.

You are not an EU member anymore. You could have had it earlier. You could even have had it without the transition period. If anything, it says something about the UK. But certainly not that you’re “still not free”.

This story has little evidence for such a big number.

Well I Googled it and the first entry was dated 01 October 2020.

 

https://fortune.com/2020/10/01/banks-trillions-jobs-brexit-move/

 

JPMorgan Chase & Co. has moved both assets and staff in recent weeks, while Goldman Sachs Group Inc. has planned for an extra 100 people to move to Europe.

 

https://www.finance-monthly.com/2020/10/banks-move-1-6-trillion-out-of-the-uk-ahead-of-brexit/

 

Financial services firms operating in the UK have shifted more than $1.6 trillion worth of assets and around 7,500 employees to the European Union ahead of Brexit, with more likely to follow in the weeks ahead, according to a report from Big Four accountancy firm Earnest and Yong (EY).

Tracking 222 of the largest financial firms maintaining significant operations in the UK, the EY report notes that around 400 relocations were announced in September alone amid uncertainty about the City of London’s continued access to the bloc in 2021.

 

I cannot find a date for this item.

London’s standing as the one-stop shop for American banks doing business in Europe is slipping, as lenders speed up movement of people and assets from the U.K. to the continent before a Brexit transition period ends Dec. 31. 

 

It seems to be mostly about US Banks and dated almost 2 months ago.

 

As Frank Carson used to say. "there's more where that came from".

It says a lot; mainly about Johnson's machinations to stage his coup with the support of the ERG.

 

Were it not for that we'd have been out with a trade deal signed at least a year ago.

 

Before you, or anyone else, repeat the nonsense about May's WA being BRINO, first explain how Johnson's deal is different.

quote "In the EU, it's "our market our rules", the UK might want things to look special because of British exceptionalism, but it will still be "our market our rules", just with more red tape because the Brits want their own special thing."

 

But that works both ways, though in the UK it is more like "Our country, Our rules".

 

Ifthe UK want to export to the UK when the UK finally leaves, your exporters will have to follow UK rules, just as the EU is demanding that the UK does. Then people wonder why there s no level playing field.

 

BTW if the UK manufacyures a product that the EU want to buy at a lower cost, why does the EU not want to allow this to happen?

Now that is a load of tosh, which even you might acknowledge.
