Thinking it'd be good to have a deal with the EU isn't refusing the result. This was supposed to be the easiest trade deal in history after all...

Tut, tut, Andrew. It was indeed supposed to be the easiest trade deal in the world but for the EU's solid intent to punish us. Of course you could argue that the politicians should have seen this coming but it doesn't alter the fact of the EU leadership behaving nastily toward us.

Maybe the EU aren't punishing us, but doing the best for their members?. I'm afraid the punishng/nasty crap Brexiteers come out with, are indicators of an ageing ever more bonkers country. It's a lightbulb realisation of our weak position and their part in causing it. Blame everyone else is the obvious answer. We started this, not up to others to resolve it.

You can sneer at Leavers if you want to, but it hardly does the best for the EU's members to have their exports to the UK to be hampered by duties and paperwork, etc and to have no access to British fishing waters.

It cuts both ways.

Yes, we started it and the more the EU behaves like *******s, the more right there was in the 52% viewpoint.

Indeed. They're a trade bloc of members. The UK not getting the benefits of membership without the costs of membership is an obvious starting point for any similar situation.

Unfortunately when you are a small, declining economy you don't have many bargaining chips when it comes to negotiating.

Sorry to break the news to you, but both imports and exports to the UK from the EU will be hampered by paperwork even with a deal in place. That's a consequence of leaving the single market.

Maybe also need to add that you won't be able to use passport lanes labelled "EU and EEA citizens only".

There's probably a few more things to update you on here but best not unsettle you too much in one post. ;)

This talk from Michael Gove is fascinating in terms of not invoking Article 50 straight away, how we can set the pace etc.

We all know Boris will cave at the last minute and sign up to a far from equitable better than nothing deal (certainly nothing like the easiest free trade deal in the history of easy free trade deals we were promised) and then he'll have the shameless front to try and proclaim that the UK shitty end of the stick deal we're then lumbered with was his master plan all along (:rolleyes: - for Nomad ;)).

Agreed - as soon as BoJo announced he was "taking personal charge of negotiations" I heard all the French fishermen immediately placed orders for new vessels knowing the direction of travel the talks would take with BoJo in charge. :D

I think the impartial, observing Trump supporters are to be found in the US election thread. ;)

Well, take another look at what Mr K said and to what I was replying:

Plus I said "It cuts both ways".

So really you had no need to reply.
