But your point was utterly irrelevant to the point I was making with someone else about the relative importance of trade to the UK economy vs the EU economy. Have anything pertinent to say on that topic?

 

  We will find other Countries to trade with , will the French fishermen find other waters to fish in ?

Of course you will. And it's  it's a universally observed phenomenon that the geographically closer nations or blocs are, the more trading will take place between them. Except of course in this case because Brexit is Magic!

As for the French fishermen, that's sad but will affect the incomes of very few in France, much less in the EU.

Brexit Britain may be better base to invest in EU

Firms warn UK could be more attractive option as EU scraps investment protection deals.

It's a Brexit paradox: European companies may get better protection for their investments in the EU — by setting up shop in Britain.

Businesses in countries such as Germany warn they could move part of their operations to the U.K. to benefit from stronger legal protections when investing in EU countries such as Hungary and Romania.

They say it all comes down to trust — and they don't trust courts in some countries to rule fairly.

  It was generally know in the UK that Turkey had little chance of joining the E.U anytime soon .

And I dont recall Turkey being mentioned by anyone in the months before the Referendum vote .

Anyway  its just not acceptable to refer to people as "Dark skinned people" and it doesnt matter what context you used that term it, its simple unacceptable these days .

   

Well, I will continue to use dark skinned as long as people refer to me as being a light skinned jock.

Essentially it means setting up shell corporations in the UK which can then exploit bilateral agreements to sue. A very tiny boost to the UK economy.

If you describe a person to the Police and mention their skin colour, you are likely to be arrested yourself for racial discrimination .

Live  Politics latest news: EU rejects UK fishing offer despite phone call between PM and Ursula von der Leyen

The European Union has rejected a UK offer on fishing rights, despite a personal call between Boris Johnson and Ursula von der Leyen designed to force a last-minute breakthrough in the Brexit trade deal negotiations.

 

The UK's offer on fisheries would have seen  the bloc slash the value of its fishing catch in UK waters by roughly a third over a transition period of five years, down from an initial demand to cut it by 60 per cent over three years.

 

Mr Johnson and Mrs von der Leyen spoke last night in a call that was not announced to journalists, and have spoken again since then. The pair have now established a hotline between Downing Street and the European Commission, and will speak "wherever it is necessary", an EU source said.

Hit a nerve again. 

The fact is only 37% of the electorate voted to leave, and of that 37%, how many believed the sweet promises of no problem leaving, only sunny uplands?.

Let's see how many wished we had remained in a few months or a year.  

 

Right. So why not keep your 37% in reserve until then?

Stop worrying about deal or no deal. It'll be all right on the night.

  If theres no deal , then French fishing boats will not be able enter British waters , some which stretch 200 miles from our shores .

  Other E.U boats will not be able to enter British waters either , which means they will all congregate in French waters , it will be awfully crowded in your waters .
