Chomper Higgot Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 1 hour ago, smedly said: The fact is there is nothing in Art50 that says anything about a trade deal, Art50 was to tie up loose ends like Air travel, borders etc, it has nothing to do with a trade deal, the UK should never have started these trade talks until we had left - they are doing it all backwards, the EU cannot force the UK to do anything unless they want to start a war, we are leaving and that is that. Now if the EU thinks that a trade deal of some sort might be a good idea for all concerned then lets talk about it after we have 100% left. We want our country back Everything was fine when it all started as the EEC were it was simply trade, it has now morphed into a power grabbing unelected debacle that we no longer want to be part of, The United States of Germany Your country is still where you left it!

What on earth makes you think that the UK government would cater to your needs, far less your wishes, the track record would say otherwise. There are millions of workers in the EU on greater salaries than workers in the UK and there are thousands of bureaucrats in the UK on greater salaries than workers in the UK. Do you really think the UK worker will end up any better off. Cannon fodder as far as the government is concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baerboxer Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 6 hours ago, Samui Bodoh said: She intends to issue a 'white paper' now? Years after the vote? Are you kidding me? Respectfully, a 'white paper' is a valuable document at the beginning of a process; issuing a 'white paper' at this juncture is simply a method of saying that "we do not have a clue what we are doing, and we are flailing around without purpose". I am sure that many will object forcefully, but I would return to a recommendation I made many months ago; Britain, swallow your pride and put off "Brexit" for a generation. As an outsider looking on, it is crystal clear that the UK does not know what it is doing or have a viable plan, that the UK has no internal consensus on the future whatsoever, and that to make a deal on the most significant policy shift in several generations under these conditions is madness. Stop this nonsense before you do further self-harm. If the desire to leave the EU is still prevalent in 15-20 years, by all means choose 'Brexit". To do so now, under these circumstances, is not a wise policy. It's not a question of pride. It's a question of the arrogance and indifference to reality of one political party whose then leaders thought they could orchestrate, and win, a referendum that would neuter the anti EU faction in their own party and spike the growth in defection to and support for the UKIP. Sadly the main opposition party are led by an anti EU leader who half heartdely challenged them. The referendum was supposedly advisory and then the government tried to circumvent parliamentary process to they could issue Article 50 and leave without any reference to parliamentary procedures. It's clear they never anticipated the result and had / have no idea what to do and have failed in their attempts to circumvent parliament so they could just ram through whatever they fancied. Whilst the country still seems very evenly divided on the issue, with chaotic and minority government being propped up by a fringe somewhat extreme party, and with various politicians now playing it for their own agendas rather than the national interest your advice would seem sensible. But sadly unlikely to be followed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we can all agree,that the British governments negotiating play has been very weak to put it mildly.
