[Politics] Brexit

[Thunder Bolt]

Just two months to go.
The leaders of 40 food and drink associations have warned Prime Minister Boris Johnson that companies are planning to pull out of Northern Ireland.
The anticipated cost of post-Brexit trade across the Irish Sea "means it will no longer be practical" for British businesses to continue serving Northern Irish customers, the letter seen by Business Insider says.

When you're a smaller player, you pay higher prices. Still the pound is up today, chin up everyone...

When will the government cave in to the EU and claim 'victory' ?

They will 'cave in' as you so eloquently put it?

I think that [MENTION=599]beorhthelm[/MENTION] may have called correctly it a few weeks ago

its not all one way. the fishery issue is quite difficult for some EU nations at home. would they carry on fishing, illegally, UK waters? would expect so, tres awkward though. there is talk of a glimmer of movement our side on state-aid, which might lead to a sensible agreement. there's also the suggestion of a "skinny" deal, covering trade and majority of chapters agreed, with the contentious issues left for later. in other words an extension but not called that.

As long as nobody actually says the word 'extension', it'll keep the idiots happy. I'll bet Nige will open his big mouth and give the game away though

10 weeks to go and still no sign of tarmac, staff, infrastructure or systems for our 'no deal'

Tick tock

Professional trade negotiators vs Proven liars? I admire your faith.

Both sides appear to be standing their ground on the whole, is this evidence of the EU being 'professional trade negotiators'?

How innovative.

Standing their ground... you mean the Boris claim that it was over, and there were to be no more negotiations?
hahahahahahaha
Like I said, I admire your faith.

you mean come to the realisation, after 4.5 years, they will not get a better deal than the one they already have which was known from day 1

The EU has never changed it's position

How very modern and progressive.

They will move a bit but the fundamentals of the SM will not be comprimised for one members internal problems, this was obvious from day 1 despite all the nonsense from Brexit Bulldog Davis Davis, hardman Steve Baker etc.

Whatever happens deal or no deal it will have very little resemblance of Vote Leaves promises in 2016. In the New Year we can assess their performance in full.

I simply cannot wait for your learned and considered assessment. Your CV should allow insight, deep analysis and detailed forensic deconstruction.

i'm sure they'll buckle when the German Car industry comes begging.....any moment now....

So, you think they should change all their rules and regulations to accommodate a good deal for the UK?

If it meant not cutting my own nose off to spite my face, I would be flexible, yes.

I am sure however that the EU would NEVER fall into that petty minded category.

The EU has a GDP of over $20tn and a population of nearly half a billion people. I think they'll probably be alright if they don't change their stance.

Good luck to them, for the time being.
