The so called "Australian terms" is another Bojo lie. The UK cannot leave on "Australian terms", although there is a high probability that will be where they end up. Australia already has a multitude of agreements with the EU so the UK cannot possibly be in the same position Jan 1st. Australia is currently trying to negotiate an FTA with the EU, something else the UK is about to abandon. If Australia doesn't like it's arrangement with the EU, why would the UK? Going back on what is promised has become so common with the brexit brigade that people now see it as par for the course. Once again you are going off on a different topic Can we assume that you agree with the main media outlets that the EU contingency proposals contain also the agreement of a level playing field Which you claimed was garbage 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you read the story , it seems to make sense , it all fits . Anyway , you seem to using the sinking of a ship as a celebration , because it was a UK design , which is rather unpleasant and immature.

Johnson attempted to arrange calls with the leaders of the European Union's two biggest economies on Monday ahead of his crunch talks over dinner with European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen in Brussels. A senior EU official confirmed that the request had been made but that the UK premier had been refused and told that all negotiations must be done through the European Commission. Classic EU intransigence. Is anyone surprised ? Zese are zee rules. You muzt comply wiz zeze rulez or face zee consequence Mizterr Johnson. Fair play to Boris for thinking outside the box to get a deal done but this is the Franco German led protectionist racket we are dealing with.
