    he wouldn't have let his country be overtaken by the Germans .

     

    Sadly things like that have happened.

     

    But please don't always refer to the overtaking from European countries by the Germans.

     

    Remember there was also 15 February 1942, the capitulation of Singapore, the  British surrendering to the Japanese.

     Mr. Churchill himself called it than : " the worst disaster in British military history".

     

    But this is the past;

    Germany is now a part of the E.U..

    The U.K. proudly announced lately, it had sign a trade agreement with Japan.

    That's stating the obvious! You yourself have said on numerous occasions that everyone is entitled to their own beliefs / views / feelings / opinions, but now we are all bigots.....

    There is a difference.

    One is of course entitled to his own belief... but with respect to someone else belief...

    When one is convinced that his own belief, ... is the only right one, 

    one is a bigot.

    The fuss is being made by the the men in the boats and the big European private operators who have had it too good for far too long. Jobs, livelihoods and profits.

     

    More fuss is being made by the continental politicians (prime e.g. Macron) who are being pressured by the people described above.

    That's a different perception than mine.

    Well I did say "bet". But if they really don't prefer the fish over the cash, what's all the fuss about?

    The fuss is made by the politicians, not the men in the street.

    The people in the U.K. voted, the Leavers won, now every voter(Leaver/Remainer)  still have to wait what the politicians will make out of it.

    In the E.U. the people  will simply have to abide what their politicians make out of this Brexit thing.

    not sure if you are serious or jocking, but my question is if there is any chance i can see a judge

    in thailand to dispute the policeman view.

    you are propably one of those americans who believe that the whole world is playing by  - the fair indeed - american rules.

    I am Belgian, and not joking at all.

    Good luck with disputing a policeman view in Thailand.

    Its unfair that E.U expect to fish in non E.U Countries .

    Its an issue about fairness , rather than the actual fish .

    How about the UK demanding that we be allowed to go to Spain and take all their strawberrys for free ? 

    Would that be fair ?

    Depends on the global conditions of the deal.

    So it is hypothetical possible that an agreement include :

    The E.U. is allowed to fish in U.K. waters:

    The U.K. is allowed to pick up for free strawberries in Spain.

       Its fair that the UK should be treated like any other Country wishing to trade with the E.U.

    We shouldnt be punished for deciding  to leave .

    As the UK is no longer a member of the E.U , E.U members cannot expect to come and steal our fish 

    We disagree here.

    It is my opinion that an union can decide at what conditions a non-member and past member is able to do business with the union.

    Punished  is a way to label it.

    Anyway the non-member and past member has the entire choice.

    If they, after all, still want to do business with this union, certain conditions imposed by the union, may not be that popular.

    Here also it is up to the non and past member to decide if is worth or not.

    Says a lot about the popularity of that corrupt protectionist racket inhabiting the dark corridors of Brussels.

    The majority at the Referendum voted Leave.

    It is an unknown why, I believe there were different reasons.

    One for sure is that some voted to get away what they label as a

    "corrupt protectionist racket inhabiting the dark corridors of Brussels"

    Let's be clear. The EU's demands are completely unprecedented in the framework of an FTA. No other country has ever requested, let alone agreed to such terms as part of an FTA.

     

    No other country has ever left the E.U., the E.U. is now showing that they will decide at what conditions, a country leaving the Union, will again be able to do business with them.

     

    Leaving to the country which left, the full faculty to accept these conditions, or not.

     

    Wonder which court will be prepared to ordeal about the good faith, or not, from a country.

    My fact is, I voted to leave the EU, and we left the EU, also fact, but the rags have to write their stuff to make ends meet and keep the losers fed to carry on stomping and dribbling, fact..????

    A fact is that nobody discuss the result of the referendum.

    Another fact is, that the looser of the referendum will not join at once/without question, the winning team, as long they are convinced Brexit is a bad thing for the U.K..

    It may change when Brexit will prove, starting next year, with concrete  facts, that they were wrong.

    Doesn't sound much like best endeavors.

     

    Doesn't sound much like good faith.

    This is nice written theory.

    In politics there is not such thing.

    However usually one party will claim they are handling in good faith, that their propositions are fair, but that the others are unfair and present unacceptable propositions.

    The base of the parties will generally believe it.
