Cable Forum - Post-Brexit Thread

Are you not shooting the messenger? He's been asked a question and is giving his response. Bearing in mind the fact that trade deals between any countries take years to complete, to expect Brexit and a trade deal to be completed in two years is a tall order, especially for the UK which needs to build a trade negotiating team.

We don't negotiate and then leave. That's the weak position. We leave and then negotiate from the position of strength. IF you (The EU) want a trade deal then we talk. Otherwise it's WTO rules.

BRITAIN will leave the EU’s Single Market after Brexit, a Tory Minister has finally confirmed after months of speculation.

Despite Theresa May’s desire to keep her negotiating strategy a secret, Robin Walker said that membership will “automatically cease to apply” as part of the country’s EU divorce.

<snip>

Asked about the merits of remaining part of the European Economic Area, Mr Walker said: “As the UK is party to the EEA agreement only in its capacity as an EU member state, once we leave the European Union the EEA agreement will automatically cease to apply to the UK.”

That's more like it. :)

THE BBC has been accused of taking “secret” bungs from the EU – including £300,000 since the referendum.

Pen-pushers in Brussels have handed millions to the taxpayer-funded broadcaster over the last three years for “research projects”.

Critics say the funding – which the Beeb has not publicly declared – is a conflict of interest which might influence the way it covers Brexit.

Tory MP Andrew Bridgen said: “It beggars belief that the BBC hasn’t declared this funding, instead saying people should ask the EU. It’s far from transparent.

“They already get about £4billion of taxpayers’ money each year. It seems astonishingly greedy for them to be sniffing around for this extra cash.

Quelle suprise. :rolleyes:

More BBC hating politicians cannot be such a surprise given Rupert is still pulling the strings.

TBQH I would stop all this sodding about and just leave. This would give the clarity that industry needs and a 2 year period to prepare for it.

That's what I've been saying since day one.

Re: Post-Brexit Thread

As a number of us predicted, it looks like the PM is ignoring the Rabid Right and will be seeking to unify for the country:

Theresa May new year message: EU referendum 'laid bare divisions'

Quote:

In her new year message, Mrs May said: "I know that the referendum last June was divisive at times.

"I know, of course, that not everyone shared the same point of view, or voted in the same way.

"But I know too that, as we face the opportunities ahead of us, our shared interests and ambitions can bring us together...

"So when I sit around the negotiating table in Europe this year, it will be with that in mind - the knowledge that I am there to get the right deal - not just for those who voted to leave - but for every single person in this country.

That'll be a neat trick, reminds me of that old adage 'try to please everybody, end up pleasing nobody'

I don't think it's possible to do given that the aims on both sides are entirely opposite.

Isn't it also known as compromise? Both sides will need to give ground ..

We did that in 75 and ever since - I think we've given enough ground.
