So it will be fudge, after fudge, after fudge until we reach an acceptable equilibrium for both sides.

The current position of the U.K. government is to avoid WTO even if it involves stalling IMO.

Just to clarify a few things:
-Newcastle Brown was brewed in Newcastle upon Tyne until 2005
-From 2005 until 2010 it was brewed across the Tyne in Gateshead
-From 2010 onwards it has been brewed further south at the John Smith's Brewery in Tadcaster, North Yorkshire
-The Tadcaster production was joined in 2017 by production at Heineken's brewery in the Netherlands. The Tadcaster brewery has not closed and continues to produce Newcastle Brown and John Smith's ales for the UK.

Actually Dunston at the Federation Brewery in the Metropolitan Area of Gateshead.
-From 2010 onwards it has been brewed further south at the John Smith's Brewery in Tadcaster, North Yorkshire
-The Tadcaster production was joined in 2017 by production at Heineken's brewery in the Netherlands. The Tadcaster brewery has not closed and continues to produce Newcastle Brown and John Smith's ales for the UK.
It moved in 2017 to the Heineken Brewery in Zoeterwoude, the Netherlands.

The Federation Brewery in Dunstone has an interesting history as until its sale to Scottish & Newcastle, it was collectively owned by the working men's clubs in the region.

Re: Brexit Discussion (Follow First Post Rules!)

I liked the bit in the Torygraph today reporting that Raab had told Barnier that the EU would have to order Ireland to erect a boarder if there was no deal. Barnier was reported to be "furious". Should have been said months ago.

Re: Brexit Discussion (Follow First Post Rules!)

Seems a bit questionable. The U.K Government do not want a hard border either. I think they would consider just having an open border even without any formal agreement than putting up an actual border.

One might think so. But Barnier has been loud and strong on not in anyway compromising the 4 pillars of the EU. If it wasn't so important to the people in the Irish island it would make for fun letting the EU stew on their pedantry.

Re: Brexit Discussion (Follow First Post Rules!)

AS BoJo joins the singles market , Eurosceptics decide not to publish their plans.
Quote:
Conservative Eurosceptics have abandoned their plan to publish an alternative Chequers blueprint.
Tory members of the European Research Group had been due to put their names to a single document setting out their own proposals for a limited Brexit deal with the European Union.
The plan was shelved amid divisions over strategy and fears among some MPs that it would provide ammunition for Downing Street and pro-European groups to attack their proposals.
The group is instead planning a programme of events, starting with a speech on Wednesday by David Davis, the former Brexit secretary.
