kingdong Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 1 hour ago, Hi from France said: The Guardian asked four people for their thoughts, with some pleased and others not. Which one do you feel the closest to? ‘It’s a complete failure’ Charles Turner from Leamington Spa, a sociology lecturer “This deal is a complete failure, it’s very simple. We won’t grow as fast as the rest of Europe, and I think by the first half of 2022, we’ll realise we’ll need a much closer relationship with the EU ‘I voted to leave and I’m pleased’ Ken Thompson, 75, from the east Midlands, who used to work for the military (..) is happy about the deal but remains sceptical about the implications of Brexit, despite having voted for it. ‘It’s no better than Theresa May’s deal’ Charles Lea, 73, from Lancashire, is exasperated. “This deal is a complete and an utter sellout. Right now, we’re still in the EU ‘I’m glad a no-deal was avoided, but I weep silently’ Teresa Curtis, 64, from Stockport, a retired midwife, health visitor and university lecturer, is glad a deal has been reached, but has strong reservations.“Whilst I certainly did not relish a no-deal scenario, I cannot see any benefit to the UK within this agreement. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2020/dec/25/a-step-forward-or-a-failure-britons-react-to-the-brexit-deal . None of the above,but if i can quote the late,great jimmy cltheroe "it,ll be alright on the night ". 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All fish imports into the EU MUST be accompanied with a certificate under the EU fish allowances. Without.. forget it. Ask all Thai, Vietnamese etc fish + shrimp +.. exporters to the EU. Also how long it lasts till they got it... Without this, the UK fishery industry will be bankrupt in 6 months. "details, details, details" You keep going on about the eu,we,ll be able to sell our fish to who we like now we,ve left,theres a whole global market out there,also with the glut of airplanes lying idol think transport bosses will be looking at that as a more economical form of transportation,especially bearing in mind frances macaroons antics in the last few days.

Very important question, when you know Brexiteers used to obsess about fish swimming 300 kilometers away from the Scottish coast. Do you know how much of the country is owned by oligarchs, corporations and bankers?

I think Boris should have given more to get the EU energy market and a deal on Services. A few additional fish quotas had a lot of value for the EU, little value for the UK. The day you know how much of your "real", physical country belongs to private or shell corporations and oligarchs, maybe you can decide to take it back. But you do not even want to know, do you?

Popular Post puipuitom Posted December 25, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 25, 2020 19 hours ago, luckyluke said: The system is, we vote for the members of the E.U. parliament. They vote for the different presidents. I believe everywhere people vote for representatives, and it stop there. Only in Switzerland there is a referendum for every important decision, there it is really the people who decide. NO! We have three seperate powers. a) The EU council, existing of the heads of government of all EU member states, with a president elected by these members, and should be a former head of state of a EU member state b) the EU committee, a kind of EXECUTIVE board, with one member of each EU member state, with as president a person promoted by the EU Council, for which the EU parliament has a veto right. The last election the EU Parliament tried to push forward a preferent candidate for the president ( Spitzenkandidat) of the EU Committee, but this failed completely. c) The EU parliament with members elected per EU member state. I advise you to read on wiki the real definitions. After so many years, this should be common sense. 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
