A so-called "Australia deal" means that the United Kingdom would trade on World Trade Organization terms: as a country without an EU trade agreement, like Australia, tariffs would be imposed under WTO rules, likely causing significant price rises.

.... the consensus was wrong on the 2016 Brexit referendum: when Britons voted by 52-48% to leave,

 

555... 555 ... what else to say,  BJ/Cummings don't understand market economics

Our fishing industry will expand rapidly without the merciless competition from the EU super trawlers.

fishing may expand, unfortunately nobody to buy it, EU will prioritize buying from their members

I think the UK people, where I live, don't give a damn, they just want closure which ever way. If its no deal its no deal. So be it. Let put this to bed and get on with trying to make our futures.

 


 

Yep, they have seen the EU in action, a deal could be made, but they want to carry on using our waters for starters. I think us Brits stand stead fast in that our land and waters revert to our own control, we then go from there....

Key paragraph applicable to this board:

Quote

"as we negotiate a future relationship with the European Union, the United Kingdom has committed fully to involve the Overseas Territories, including Gibraltar, to ensure that their priorities are taken into account at every stage of the process. Given that Gibraltar has a particularly strong interest in that question we have also established a separate UK-Gibraltar Joint Ministerial Council on Gibraltar-EU negotiations".

  Living under a bid stick is what you are now doing in Thailand under the present Government.

Really?

I am not a big fan of the current government. But it's a lot better than all those years with Thaksin and his little sister.

And look at Covid. I think Prayut did a great job in that regard.

Doesn't like is a fair possibility.

Envious, you're not the only one mentioning this.

It's rather insightful , some Britons are so full of themselves that they are really convinced that other nationalities are envious of them.

Which explain partially why they are not liked.

That's only the bar stool ones........:stoner:

Not my experience,

I generally don't like the Britons of Pattaya, because I not understand the way they speak English.

I don't like the Britons I met in Thonglor, generally full of themselves, despite that in every way they don't come to the ankles of the Japanese residing there.

Many from here have, never to be seen again, until I told them I gave up singing........????

Yes, it seems like no one is caring about what Mr, Johnson is saying, which at least show some intelligence somewhere in the leadership of Britain.

This is a total moron, that do not understand that he can not go against his peoples wishes. I guess the common citizen of the UK is going to have to change much of their daily life, just because ne person have a bad brain.

He isn't going against his people's wishes.

I answered your question. It can be part of a deal. Macron asks one thing, and in return the UK fishermen can sell their fish to the EU. Selling to the EU is a favor the UK can get, or not if there is no deal. I really don't see the problem. The UK is independent now, so they have the right to refuse this.

 

Macron didn't say that he has warships stand-by to let French fishermen fish in UK waters. He just asks politely, and the UK can refuse. So they did. And now the UK fishermen will lose their jobs.

 

 

 

 

 

That's why the UK fishing fleet is being expanded, I suppose?
