Cable Forum - UK & EU Agree Post-Brexit Trade Deal

Well, a couple (in both ways) led development of the Coronavirus vaccine at the company they founded in Germany, BioNTech, so imagine what 76m could do for the EU!

Vaccine infused kebabs!

Nah, would never work.

Kebabs are the staple food of the heavy drinking night crowd . . . and pubs/clubs are closed ;)

Exsqueeze me, kebabs are a semi-staple food of mine.
And, being a Waitrose shopper, with a glass of Sauterne (bought in Aldi).

Won't go down well in Torygraphland. Nothing less than no deal and total meltdown will be acceptable.

We'll get something but it won't be a shade on what we have at the moment. But we knew this would be the case - do lorry drivers defecate in Kent, as the expression goes. ;)

Yes but at least can wave the flag and have a blue passport. Mind you we could gave done that as an EU member.

Rubbish. I'm at the heart of Torygraph land and I'll be delighted if there is a deal.

I fully expect the sovereignty thing to be sufficiently fudged so that both sides claim victory, with the UK government quietly noting that if level playing field push comes to shove in the future then the scope for interpretation will come into play.

As to fishing, something like 50% for the French for x years then tapering to 20%.

Clearly, it will not be a shade close to what we have now. No more free movement, no more EU laws, no more stolen fish, etc, etc.

It’s all good. Just as the electorate ordered.

As anticipated the 'no deal' chat was all bluster and the fact we have President-elect Sleepy Joe has killed off any quick US trade deal. No need to stretch this pretence out any further we need a deal with the EU.

Can't accuse Anthony Blinken of bearing about the bush!

Quote:

Biden’s secretary of state pick compared Brexit to ‘a dog being run over by a car’

Joe Biden’s reported pick for the role of America’s top diplomat [Anthony Blinken] has referred to Brexit as “a total mess”, raised concerns over its effect on the Good Friday Agreement and compared it to a dog being run over by a car.

Boris Johnson faces a challenge in developing a relationship with Mr Biden as close as he managed with his predecessor — with the president-elect having previously referred to him as the UK premier as the “physical and emotional clone of Trump”.

No-Deal Brexit Would Cause More Damage to UK than COVID: BoE’s Bailey
