his little bluff didn't work with the EU, we Europeans are not as gullible as the British voters ????

True, but they are not the fools here, they know the Brits will suffer and disruption is never a good thing for both parties

 

Boris is foolish and a poker player, except he is not playing with his money, so he is going to lose it all, all for show

I think David might prefer Dutch - but he is probably multi lingual like other Europeans, except of course the ex Europeans.

In which language all the other Countries converse in , wasnt really taught .

They seemed more interested in teaching us Latin , for some unknown reason .

But, Ive  got by in life not knowing the name of the language that Dutch/Holland/Netherlands people converse in , all I know is that they use very long words and that their words are difficult to pronounce

That would be your national language now, if it wasn't for Asterix, Obelix, and the Belgae - you did learn "horum fortissime sunt Belgae" ?

You should try again writing UE, for "union européenne" and I'd like the Greek version too, Il like Greek letters ????

 

@CorpusChristie nothing to laugh about: the high mortality rates in the UK are not just the result of the carelessness of Boris Johnson (who went to shake hands and got his pregnant girlfriend ill as well as a good share of the UK government) 

 

It's also the consequence of the high obesity rate in the UK. 

 

Allegedly, the UK does not need cheap chicken imports. It will push up obesity, not just ruin your poultry farmers. 

 

You do not like the deal with the EU? Wait for the USA deal... We' ll hear much less recriminations but this would be much harder for the country. Anyway the US currently have a trading deficit with the UK, so a FTA is not really attractive to them, you will need to give them quite a lot. 

 

Did Boris not tell you?

  The high Covid rates in the UK are due to locals not self distancing .

All those riots and gatherings in the summer , all the protests and taking down statues and completely unconcerned about the virus , caused the virus to spread . Unlike Thailand, were we adhered to th rules of social distancing , and we have been more or less covid free .

  Thats going off topic though , we really should get back on topic and obey the rules

  Right , so it wasnt the people mixing with each other that caused Covid to spread , the reason was because they were over weight ?

  I do think that if overweight people didnt mix with others who had the virus , they wouldnt have contracted the virus .

  Overweight people who stay at home contract Covid , slim people who congregate with infected people do not contract the virus ?

  OK. 

If you say so

Because the EU is good and will never slam the door on the UK even though the country took "the worst peacetime decision of modern times". 

 

Only Johnson can make the UK leave with no deal, it shall be his sole responsibility.

 

Even if that happens, the EU will still be open to peaceful negotiations. With the UK, Scotland, Northern Ireland whomever 

 

I personally think we owe this to the British people, which was fooled by populist politicians.

That would be fair enough if that was what had been the objective and put on the ballot paper.

But it wasn't, and business was was promised access to the single market, haven't the UK been negotiating for the last 4 years for preferential access to that market. I take it selective memory has removed TM's dealings with the Japanese.

The whole cake and cherries came about because the UK want the market without following the rules, contradicts your idea of what brexit meant.

Sandy you know very well that David Cameron promoted this over and over again. You are disingenuous with this and being on the ballet paper. After all aren't the remain voters the intelligent ones that are keep being reported. If you can't believe the prime minister David Cameron who was the leader of the remain vote and need to have it written down on the ballot paper. It was leave or remain on the paper.

 

I know I voted. It didn't say anything such as with a deal. Leave and remain and those people who voted all knew what it meant. If they didn't then it is their fault and nobody else.
