They'll just access it as a free independent nation unfettered by the cruel chains of the EU. Like Australia. "the cruel chains of the EU" you want to make us cry? In the EU, the UK was perceived as a major pain, not paying normal membership dues like us, repeatedly vetoing policies to impose its will on us. In this regard we are taking back control and gaining freedom from "the cruel chains of the UK" ???? Single market means single rules for fair competition. The UK refuses these common rules, the most famous being the ECJ to settle disputes. It's the same as in football: if you don't play be the rules of football and refuse the referee, you cannot play other countrie's teams. Australia has no access to the single market. What Johnson calls an "Australia deal" is... no-deal. There is no Australia-EU FTA. I'm surprised there are still people who after 4 years still do not get these basic points right. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either the UK (Brexiteers) accept what the EU is offering or its no deal. Its already been made clear. Now the Brexiteers can huff and puff but its a one sided game because the larger trade entity always dictates what the smaller entity gets. At this point Brexiteers will do their usual and scream OK NO DEAL THEN but thankfully its actually grown ups who are going to resolve this absolute shambles. Get used to it guys. You were warned before the referendum took place that this is where we would end up. You knew what you were voting for and this is it.

I was referring only to the issue of chlorine washing, not doing a compare and contrast. Chlorine washing itself is safe according to the article.

The UK refuses these common rules, the most famous being the ECJ to settle disputes." How about the EU using the British courts to settle disputes? Would the EU agree to that? They would never agree to that and I don't blame them either. BUT why should the UK use the ECJ. A fairer way for both sides would to find a neutral court from outside the EU and the UK to make judgements. 5 hours ago, pacovl46 said: deleted post 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ECJ is largely founded on British common law, and had its share of British judges/members. In the EU, it's "our market our rules", the UK might want things to look special because of British exceptionalism, but it will still be "our market our rules", just with more red tape because the Brits want their own special thing. For forty years, the Brits have been a pain in the EU and even now when going out, they are a real pain. This British exceptionalism is a real pain. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The staggering amount for UK taxpayers Quote The truth is, the real cost of Brexit will not be clear until way ahead in the future - but how much has it cost so far? There is no definitive figure for the cost of Brexit so far. A report from Bloomberg Economics estimates that Brexit has set Britain back to the tune of £130 billion so far. What’s more, it further estimates that figure is likely to top £200 billion by the end of the year. Between 1973 and 2018, the UK’s net contribution to the EU was £216 billion in real terms, according to Full Fact. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
