That’s "No Deal" (or Australian style, if you prefer...).

Possible concession from the U.K on fishing rights: https://www.theguardian.com/politics...box=1608581901
Things are edging ever so slowly towards a deal. It depends if France are happy of course.

Yes I do live with dad, but given the current nightmare, I would have moved back home until this situation ends.

My mistake

I will keep looking, but I cannot leave as I've just got a new car.

I haven’t seen any thing posted that says they need us more than we need them, or that German car manufacturers will ride to our “rescue”. That is Your emotive rhetoric. Certainly nothing about British exceptionalism, it appears to be a fiction of yours

You might think that but in trade deals, everything including the kitchen sink is thrown in. Hence the statement about nothing is agreed until everything is agreed.
|
that is a well trodden EU trope, for all other nations a trade agreement is based on trade, not politics.
Quote:
If the UK decided to subsidise its car manufacturers then the Single Market - a key selling point of EU membership - would be damaged by unfair competition from the UK.
In reality, this is highly unlikely as the UK is a high-cost, high-skills country so it should have nothing to fear by agreeing to a level playing field enforceable in British courts.
|
. You can argue with yourself all day.
You do however, showcase fundamental misunderstanding of the entire, “level playing field” issue.

We've done the fishing argument before.

Did you manage to solve it?

You're not giving me much material to go on, Pierre. My claims have been oft-repeated and I'm surprised you have not seen them. Here's a link to one of them in the hope of reciprocity
Quote:
The European Union needs the UK more than the UK needs it, according to the Vote Leave Campaign.
"We are the fifth largest economy in the world. We will be able to have a decent deal with the EU", said John Moynihan, speaking on BBC Radio 4's Today programme.
"The EU needs a trade deal with us more than we need a trade deal with them"

None of that matters now. An opinion of Vote Leave is all
that's being touted here.
The fact is that 52% voted to leave the EU notwithstanding all the Project Fear stuff. We're there now and so long as any deal does not give the EU any control of the UK and its borders I'll be happy.

Re: Brexit-Transitional Period Ends 31/12/20
Ohh err Mrs ! Moving the subject on ...
31st December might not be deadline. Not a surprise as none of the other 'deadlines' have been since the one in October. No deal is not an option for either side.
https://www.independent.co.uk/indepe...-b1777180.html
They might have to change the meaning of the word deadline in the dictionary....

Oi! I was being misquoted, there's a big difference between not happy and hate.

The only deadline in Brexit negotiations is a phone line that's not working.

Apparantley Boris and Ursula have a hotline. The latest is thats she's turned down his offer of a few more fish.
She's also rebuffed his offer of a second date. She wasn't impressed at the first. His shirt wasn't tucked in and his hair a mess... Plus he's had poor Tinder feedback.
