Popular Post snoop1130 Posted February 3, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 3, 2021 UK asks EU for Brexit grace period extension to 2023, BBC reports LONDON (Reuters) - Britain has asked for an extension until 2023 of a grace period on checks that would be conducted on trade moving between Northern Ireland and the rest of the United Kingdom to soften the Brexit impact on the province, the BBC reported. Political editor Laura Kuenssberg said Cabinet Office Secretary Michael Gove had written to the European Commission’s vice president, Maros Sefcovic, to ask for urgent political solutions. As part of the Brexit divorce deal, the two sides agreed a three-month grace period on checks on food goods being moved by supermarkets and some wholesale groups from Britain to Northern Ireland, to ease the impact of the post-Brexit new rules. -- © Copyright Reuters 2021-02-03 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s more akin to resigning from a club, giving them the ‘birdy’ on your way out the door then going groveling to be allowed membership rights.

A "tantrum" that had no practical consequences? What damage did the UK suffer as a result? More like a contrived gambit to obscure the ill-preparedness of the UK govt. 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post vogie Posted February 3, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 3, 2021 In all fairness I think that Ursula von Leyens actions have just showed the lack of consideration for the people living in N & S of Ireland. The damage she has done is totally unrepairable knowing that she can just flick a switch and put peoples lives in danger. Do they really need an extension, I would suggest not, we cannot live under the threat of the EU using NI as a pawn when it suits them. She has angered both sides of the border now with her thoughtlessness. 9 4 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The UK sets off on a self harming Brexit and when the harm starts hurting we get the inevitable blaming the very people who warned of the consequences.
