Apart from that we are doing pretty well. I agree I hope it ends well. But when one side is looking for a deal that helps both sides but the other side is looking to punish, then it becomes difficult. Let's see if the EU can take a more mature stance. Otherwise we both suffer. Try to remember, Brexiteers are not anti Europe we are anti EU. Only the Remainers claim otherwise. Don't fall for their rhetoric, its divisive and counter productive. A brexiteer calling others gullible and ignorant ???? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get the go wrong but at all UK don't seem to give a dam and is driving a hard bargain on 3 things. Just one is the fishing scenario it seems if the EU doesn't give it's a no deal for sure.

anterian Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 After reading all these comments, plus the MSM I have come to realise that although my passport says I am a citizen of the UK, the UK I was born into 85 years ago is so different from the present that it is no longer really relevant to me, I am just a disinterested but mildly interested spectator. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know sod all about your Belgian streets, so I will not comment on it, it would be ridiculous..???? What changes would they be; and how were they caused by our EU membership? You can't mean the increased number of people from the Commonwealth, for example South Asia, West Africa and the West Indies, over the last 60 plus years as those who didn't enter via their mother's birth canal did so via our own immigration rules. Neither of which have anything to do with the EU! 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same as many other Brexiteers here; "I'm all right, Jack, because I live in Thailand and wont suffer the consequences." Except, if you are relying on an income from the UK to meet your living costs and visa requirements, what will you do if/when Brexit causes the pound to sink even lower against the baht?

Popular Post Kwasaki Posted December 7, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 7, 2020 (edited) So many crystal ball readers saying " The pound will sink" sink where exactly it's still one of the most trading currencies in the money markets. A deal has already been put in place while the EU is poncing about to trade with other countries in the world so what makes people think the EU is so important to UK.

The pound has sunk - and will sink more if no deal is reached - how have you missed that ? What deal has been ‘put in place’ - that is superior to what the U.K. had under the EU umbrella ?
