Because markets hate uncertainty. The pound has jumped because now the markets know what is happening. Don’t be fooled into thinking that just because the pound has risen that this means it is a good deal for the UK.

When I and others suggested the fall of the pound was about uncertainty that argument was dismissed by remainers. But now it's ok to use uncertainty as a cause I suppose ????

  • You can chose between Barnier, Ursula, or any of the EU. They’re all as bad.  Boris has given them enough chances, now it’s time to walk away No Deal. 

  • Don't let the door hit you on the way out.????

  • Australian terms.....why do they persist in trying that on......although I guess it works with stupid people.

I am a remainer and the damage done to the UK by people like yourself will be felt for many years. It will take the young to sort out the mess that the old selfish generation have left them. But I will give you the point on uncertainty., and that point only.

Now that there is a deal, will corpuschristie insist that the food aid that Germany sent, be redirected to Africa?

 

 False, can be called a lie .

No food aid was sent from Germany .

Just a different means of transport , flight instead of a lorry .

Complete fallacy to state it was "aid", just using a different means of transport 

When a deal is made between two parties the side that comes rushing out to say what a great deal they have got is  the side that got the <deleted>ty end of the stick. Boris has been quick to boast. Let’s wait for all the details but it looks like the UK has got the <deleted>ty end of the stick.

My condolences to those leavers, who always insisted that they would leave without a deal which Boris claimed he would, as they didn't need the EU and would never back down on the fishing rights, but now have to live with the consequences that Boris once again lied and sold them out to the EU

 

  More lies .

The suggestion was that we would leave without a deal if we got offered unfavorable/unfair terms

  Aare you forgetting the French side , who have claimed victory and the UK "folding " in the last few days , BEFORE any deal was agreed upon  ?

So that would be  one 27th of the EU side then.

There are those on this forum that are wise enough to see that both sides can and probably will benefit from a deal, only those who are trying to justify their stance are insisting one side must lose......a bit sad really shows a lack of intelligent thought.

Whatever deal is made will be far inferior to what we have now. Many people will lose jobs and people will be poorer. For what? Just so a few old <deleted> can stick it to Johnny Foreigner again.

Judging from the increased bitterness of their recent posts, I think the only thing we can assume is that we have no friends from across the water. The vitriol and bile posted by the europosters is only surpassed by a couple of those who prefer a cloak of anonymity. 

 

  I really cannot see us winning the Eurovision 2021 song contest .

And that is the whole fishing problem. Uk fisherman catch fish that people in the UK won’t eat. But suddenly Brexiteers care about our disgusting fish, 5 years ago they would not have cared less.

The EU also came rushing out to say a good deal was done. So by your logic both sides got the tty end of the stick ????

 

How about entertaining the possibility that the deal is good for both sides?

  Why is a high pound good for the UK .

The high Bhat isnt good for Thailand /the high Deutsmark wasnt good for Germany

Having a high currency isnt necessarily a good thing

I was just responding to a poster who claimed that now the pound has jumped that everything is good for the UK. If you are going to quote me at least look back at the post I quoted from. Or is that too much work?

  Its about principles . 

You can have the fish, as long as we agree to it .

You cannot just come and take them without our consent

Guessing again, predictions based on what? I get fed up of 'the UK is going down the pan <deleted>', most of that was based on predictions of 'no deal'  hard to take for those who poised to cheer the UK demise, you may have to wait a while longer, and if you know anything you might know cheap champagne does not improve with keeping!!

But the principals are also going to cut off the markets our fisherman need.

Its Christmas time .

Time we all took two weeks off 

After fours years , we all need a break 

And get back to it in the new year .

By the way those predictions were not based on no deal. Any deal is worse than what we have now. Ok some old <deleted> will have their moment in the sun and wax lyrical about the British Empire, but in a few years they will be dead and good riddance. 
 

I am just happy that I have sold all my holdings in the UK. Anyone who lives here and relies on Uk pensions or whatever are going to have a hard time in the next few years.

Well done that's you sorted, no need to keep justifying your actions, you did what you felt was right at the time, now move and live with it.

Well you don’t know the details of the deal, so have no idea if it’s inferior or not. The fact that we are out of the EU makes it far superior for me, and that’s without counting an economic bean. Loss of jobs and poorer people is only a Remainer prediction and hope, which will never come to fruition. 

It’s all very well sticking it to Johnny Foreigner that’s true, but the real cream on the top of the whole Brexit affair has been sticking it to Remainers like yourself.

Why are you sad for Britain? Some details please 

we have a dedicated thread to comment on the deal it's we knew it was crappy, but not that crappy. The Brits didn't event get access the single energy market, not Euratom nor Erasmus... 

 

and  the UK will loose 200 additional billions in GDP according to the government’s own forecaster
