TTIP
 

If you're anything like me, you've been knee-deep in Brexit news this last couple of weeks.

So it would've been super easy for you to miss the fact that TTIP negotiators are sitting down next week to nail down the deal and get it all signed as soon as they can. Our environment, affordable healthcare, and working conditions are all at stake.

If the talks succeed, 2016 will be the year our politicians sign away our rights -- and until we know what's happening with Brexit, that includes the UK.

TTIP.

The EU is about our only chance of not being signed up to something like this. The prospective Prime Ministers don't seem likely to have any problem with it.

Re: TTIP
 

It looks like the Devil's work to me. Could it be that as "Jeremy Corbyn pledged to veto TTIP", his "removal" has become necessary?

Well, that would be based on an assumption he is electable....

Everything is possible in these uncertain times.

LOLOLOL The TTIP is a EU and USA partnership. The TTIP does not need the UK, you plonker. If we leave the EU then America will still make the EU it's bitch via the TTIP.

The EU really really want the TTIP!

Some EUROCRATS and multi-national businesses want TTIP.

Indeed the key is not to predict anything as they have a habit of backfiring old boy.:)

Re: TTIP
 

The problem with TTIP is almost all the negotiations are secret and being made by unelected people and businessmen.

Re: TTIP
 

sounds like something we just Brexited;)

Re: TTIP
 

Yes and it's goal is ultimately to stop you an me becoming "competition".
When TTIP is on film swing there will never be another RIchard Brandon, or James Dyson. The big corporations will ensure regulations make it impossible for anyone to ever threaten them or become competition.

Economy economy economy BUY BUY BUY BUY, make sure poor areas have access to lots of cheap alcohol. The biggest problem to big business today is the fact the average man actually has most of the money.

Unfortunately the average man does what advertisers tell them.

I've not looked into it in any real depth but my Canadian friends are seething that their government signed up apparently it's opened the floodgates on litigation and is costing Canada large sums of money. It seems very US biased and not overly brilliant for others all very Obama decent on the outside rotten to the core beyond the inside.

Re: TTIP
 

I fully imagine UK trade negotiations will be no different. Except that other people will be negotiating on our behalf.

We will be TTIP'd up in no time.
