Something’s been brewing over in Iran for a while now...Why else would we be getting such an influx of Iranian migrants....and they aren’t poor either...one bought my house outright with cash!

Solicitor wasnt impressed as they had to seize the funds until its origins could be accounted for


I digress, I guess we’ll be getting even more with the way things are going!

And since when did being part of the EU made us meddle any differently within the Middle East on our own accord? Never bothered us before...go and ask Blair!

 

Hi Donald, you know how we have absolutely no trade deal with you since the transition period has ended, and you know how we refused to help with your war against Iran, well 'get on with it' and give us the best trade deal ever.

Seems like it could work out.

 

How about:

Dear Angela, Macron and the other EU losers, seeing you aren’t helping us sort those durka durkas or buying our stuff like our nice planes and clean coal, and I hate your food anyway, the 25% sanction on you losers isn’t enough, have a 50% tax sanction instead! Losers!

Sanctioning the UK vs sanctioning the EU.

If it was a game, and it might as well be, I'd cripple the UK - ruin global trade negotiations, quick and easy, others will be quick to join the slaughter - then go after the EU.

It won't get that far though and the cost of our military action will be enormous as we bend over.

 

Hang on...you can’t go round saying we’re begging the US for a trade deal then imply we’re going to still get the same sanctions as the EU

Unless Raab upsets him, then we’re dooomed....doooooooomed

 

We might not get the same, but we'll get them first and Europe will eat us before it's eaten.

The Herald expressed concerns that a deal with the UK could "unleash significant economic and social consequences" for Australia, including an "influx of unskilled Brits to Sydney and Melbourne".


yeah , how awful would that be !

 

Oz has pretty strict immigration criteria, well...better than the UK.


Would be funny to see a load of cockney snowflakes being shipped to a processing centre in Papua new Guinea.

That said, if you’re a firefighter, I think you won’t even need to show your passport (too soon? )...Mind with how the Grenfel bunch have blamed them, I think they’d be more welcome and respected over there.

Wow . 5 years to implement

still, probably left wing stirring eh

 

My guess is they will come to a deal by the end of the year which includes an (phased?) implementation period. That way Boris keeps his end of year promise and there is still time to implement any new systems for the NI border and UK ports.

 

Our special new US trade deal now that we want to tax Sillycon valley ....?

 

Alacazar, is that you?

 

Retired to chateau didnt he ?

 

Wife had a major stroke, pretty sure that wrecked any happy retirement plans.


Mentioning France though just reminded me of a pleasant yet troubled female graduate who is emigrating to rural France with Brexit being her main motive. As I’m tired of political discussions I refrained from informing her that a large part of rural France hate the EU as much as the Brexiteers, she seemed to be under the illusion that the Parisienne view is that of France’s...like London’s view is that of the rest of England....

 

love AC/DC.lol

 

According to Alcazar, a large part of rural France are Brexiteer British Ex-Pats, so that would explain that one!

I know quite a few Brits as well as EU citizens who have left the UK because of Brexit.

 

France has its own Frexit party.

Truth is many rural French hate Parisiennes as much as ’rest of England’ are at odds with London.

Maastricht treaty votes were were split closer than that of Brexit!

 

See you on the other side people!

Or as I heard someone say today, "Once we've left Europe". FFS.

Not looking good for the Car industry in the UK.
Hopefully now Boris has a commanding majority and no longer needs to depend on the ERG, he will listen a bit more to the needs of industry and remain in the EU customs union.
Fingers crossed, the Brexiteer celebrations will be short lived!

 

Well, our local supermarket is still well stocked - and no great price hikes either!

 

I can’t imagine you’d be wanting continental breakfast Felix

 

We have currently only left the EU in name! Everything is the same for the next 11 months except we no longer have a voice!

 

Actually its a monumental step. Constitutionally the UK has left the EU and is no longer a member.

There is a transitional stage to smooth preparations for either a trade deal or WTO.

UK is currently preparing for full custom checks on all EU goods entering the UK. This points to UK government prepared for WTO end of this year.

 

Indeed a full year preparing for nothing , what joy

 

Yes, it's a significant conditional change, but anyone in the next 11 months ago claims the remoaners and doomsayers were all wrong has clearly misunderstood the whole process (and quickly forgotten that everyone is already poorer due to a weak pound and high inflation and low interest rates). For all intents and purposes, we are still in the EU and will be until at least 2021. Brexit could still be hard or soft, but until it really happens, nothing changes!

 

1.8% 2019

The world has low interest rates, the pound is what it is. It hasn't effected my manufacturing company, which imports alot of materials from the EU and around the world.

There will be no extension, we will be either trade deal or WTO. Actually I now see WTO being the preferred option, given EU has decided to put Spain's claim of Gibraltar on the negotiations front page. Pretty much guaranteeing WTO

 

be carefull out there, flood warnings are out, rumour has it all the loonie left remaining snowflakes

My 78 year old mother said"so when are we leaving the NEC?"
