He signed it to get us past a Remainer Parliament and get Brexit done. We are now officially out, and overriding some of the EU tricks with our on law. In a few weeks will be out of the transition period too, and the EU will have forced themselves into No Deal. The rest of the world are knocking on the door. Now, do you want to sell us luxury cars on our terms in our country? So rather than the EU acting in 'bad faith' as you Brexiters continually claim, the opposite is true. Johnson never had any intention of honouring the agreement. Pretty much a definition of 'bad faith' in my book. As for the knocking on the door. That's actually the rest of the world slamming the door behind them, as they realise that this UK government can't be trusted. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you are choosing to ignore not just several hundred years of history, but also the events of the 1970s. 80s and 90s simply to justify the lies of your hero. You are the one who keeps banging on and on about money! But yes; I want what's best for my country; in trade, employment etc.. I firmly believe that obtaining that meant remaining in the EU. But it's too late for that now, so we have to make the best of what we have. Something you lying hero is making even more difficult for us than before. They've all been living with their history for hundreds of years. This EU remain nonsense is just a blip in that history. When we are free world trading and prosperous all the EU and Remainer rabble rousing will be forgotten as they all will be making money. No, it's not Leavers who keep banging on about money, we are about sovereignty and our own control or everything. Money and economy is almost exclusively a Remainer domain. All my heroes will make things better for us than before. Pity about the Remainer wets though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really? Johnson's European Union (Withdrawal Agreement) Act 2020 was passed with a majority of 99 in the Commons. A 99 majority from a Remainer Parliament? Really? Amendments proposed by the House of Lords were rejected by the Commons and It received Royal Assent on the 23rd January 2020. Yes, the Lords is stuffed full of Remainers isn't it. The Act had to be passed through to Get Brexit Done. It officially was on 31st January 2020. Had it not, we would have still be led a merry dance by you Remainer event today. Really, Really. Did you miss what was happening? Now Boris is overriding the trick parts the Remainers and EU had left in there. Come next January he could even ditch the whole thing. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The world doesn't care. No agreement on trade is better than a bad agreement on trade. The UK will be OK thanks. What international products are you thinking of not dealing with us now? You can't seriously think that trading on WTO rules with the EU will be beneficial for the UK? Tariffs will raise prices. The likely upshot is that EU importers will look elsewhere for many products, and the first place will be elsewhere in the EU. Where will the UK export its surplus (expensive) goods to? Will Japan pick up all the slack? No doubt, an overly simple scenario no doubt but, I'd contend, not without a ring of truth to it. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be beneficial for the UK to get out of the transition period without signing our free life away, so No Deal is the best way out, and roll on WTO rules. The EU will quickly come back for a sensible trade deal when their more expensive products are piled up without UK buyers. Our exports to the EU are relatively specialist, so not easily replaced on the cheapo market.

Popular Post Nigel Garvie Posted September 19, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 19, 2020 20 minutes ago, Laughing Gravy said: Well if you have an idea how the EEC started and the EU formed you would understand that it came from the second world war. If you haven't that understanding then we have little to discuss. It is fine for posters to talk about the break up of a union that has been in existence for a few hundred years but the fact we tried a trade union that is not what was written on the paper and you are up in arms. You can yawn, I find you ignorant of the actual facts. The EU started with an agreement over Iron and Steel aimed at benefitting all the parties and avoiding unwanted competition. To say that it "Came" from the second world war, would have to be justified by some evidence that it derived directly from it, rather than just followed on from it in time. I'm simply tired of WW11 references in all these Brexit related forums, which I think are not relevant to these days or times. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, the EU is NOT allowed to define where their outer borders are ? ? Only because N + S Irish want NO HARD border, the EU allowed this border to be in the Irish sea. Signed, approved, ratified and hailed as the superb wisdom of Boris the Liar. I hope the Scots + N Irish get their brains back and decide to form together with Eire the Gaelic Confederation of so, per immediately all EU member state territory. Good sea connections and.. no need to travel though England. The EU's outer borders are, rather by definition, already defined as the outer limits of its own territory , not splitting the territory of an adjacent country. Yes Boris Johnson, as Prime minister, signed the treaty, but perhaps, just perhaps, he did so in good faith, never imagining that the EU would attempt to use a border in the Irish Sea as a means of dictating and controlling trade between two constituent parts of the United Kingdom; which is what is now becoming a possibility in these vitriolic negotiations, and which these powers, being sought by an elected government in a sovereign parliament are intended to prevent. As for the idea of a "Gaelic Confederation" good luck with that one! The peoples of Nortern Ireland cannot even agree amongst themselves about almost everything, let alone with two very different foreign countries! "No need to travel through England", OK then, let us suppose that I am a small scale maker of Caerphilly cheese ( and jolly nice it is too) in South West Wales. I want to sell it to Edinburgh, so I drive it to Milford Haven, load it onto a ferry to Ireland (or Eire as you like to call it), drive it all the way up through Ireland to Larne in the very north, onto a ferry to Stranraer, then drive it all the way across the widest part of Scotland to my customer in Edinburgh. A sound business plan if I ever heard one! Edited September 19, 2020 by herfiehandbag 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That trade with the UK is to be banned, that a blockade with the UK is instituted? I think that the World Trade Organisation may have a view on that (I'll give you a clue, it is not run from Brussels, Berlin or Paris). I think that The Republic of Ireland - a EU country the majority of whose trade is with the UK, and most of the rest of whose trade has to pass through the UK, might just have a view on that. Come to that, much of the rest of the world may be a trifle disconcerted to see the EU (which rightly or wrongly they see as essentially dominated by Germany), flexing it's muscles in such a way, and they may be uncomfortable with that. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
