And if you don't like what happens? Like a dog, Brexit isn't just for Christmas. Its not like a general election and you can change your mind in a few years. This will affect your kids future.

Re: Brexit-Transitional Period Ends 31/12/20
 

The trend is for the EU to do more and more trade deals with the world’s major economies over time. If there’s not a deal next week, there’s going to be one some time fairly soon. Like Pierre I’m now more curious about what will happen if it’s no deal. I think there’s a reasonably good chance that will happen now, and that it will be a far bigger shock in Brussels than here (although the commentariat here will be predictably shrill). I think Brussels doesn’t believe we will walk, and that if we do, that misapprehension will be off the table by the time talks resume some time next year.

Phhhffftt.

If i don’t like what happens I’ll have to ff’n get on with it and make the best of it. The world will not end. We’re talking about how much more, or how less we may have to pay for a few things. You will accuse me of being simplistic and not understanding, but I understand perfectly. Brexit, Covid, financial crash, dot.com crash........that’s just the last 20years............, yadda yadda whatever, all things pass.

We shall see.

France’s demands for all the fish might start scaling back towards something a little more reasonable once they’re on the outside of our waters looking in. To be fair I can’t see Brussels loosening its ideological attachment to the ECJ having a role in dispute resolution though.

Re: Brexit-Transitional Period Ends 31/12/20
 

Not the end of any negotiations..........

However, as you’ve brought it up, it’s interesting that you’re willing to throw the entire U.K. fishing sector under the bus, but not 1no. Car plant?

I don’t know if Nissan would pull out or not, but then as I say “no deal” would not be the end of negotiations.

In regards to intelligence, the U.K. will remain as a member of five eyes, NATO and a whole raft of other partnerships. To suggest we would be disadvantaged is ball cocks and always has been.

Leaving the EU will not affect our membership of Interpol.

Re: Brexit-Transitional Period Ends 31/12/20
 

Where have I said this? I've just pointed out that the owners of the largest car plant in the UK disagree with you.

I suspect British fish won't be gracing the menus of too many restaurants in France if there is no deal and French fishermen are protesting about their damaged livelihoods.

Whatever happens, this won't be the end of negotiations. We'll be negotiating our relationship with the EU forever.

Re: Brexit-Transitional Period Ends 31/12/20
 

Well not directly, but you are a Remainer happy to be rodgered by whatever way the EU sees fit and I assume ( tell me if I’m wrong) to sacrifice U.K. fisheries to EU demands.

Then you highlight the situation at the Nissan plant as something that would be terrible ( which of course it would be)...........but you don’t seem to be keen on highlighting the issue of the impact on fisheries

That’s the point.

Which......I think....... was........my......point......all.....along.

Re: Brexit-Transitional Period Ends 31/12/20
 

Very happy to oblige - you were wrong in your previous post and you're wrong in this one too.

I picked just two distinct areas to highlight the flaws in your statement, security and Nissan.

I have previously highlighted the plight of British fishermen and the increased paperwork and potential delays they face even with a deal.

No deal won't won't simply benefit fishermen in the UK and disbeneft French fishermen. Both parties will suffer.

Strange it didn't say this on the side of the bus...

Maybe we'll become a nation of vegetarians. Some good may come from Brexit after all ;)

Isn't a 1-2% rise within the bounds of a standard annual inflationary rise?

Re: Brexit-Transitional Period Ends 31/12/20
 

Annual inflationary rises usually take place over a year ( the clue is in the name 'annual').

This would be in addition and virtually overnight.

Changes in individual prices tends to go up in one go, not in a monthly or weekly manner.

The problem there is the bunch of clowns we're left with controlling our destiny. They're like a Monty Python sketch. Unfortunately for us, their incompetence has led to led to us having the highest number of Covid deaths in Europe

Some of the EU rules were genuine beneficial - workers, consumer and environmental protections . A hinderance to the mega wealthy maybe. It's our own Govt. we need protection from.
