EU: "Would you like to join the EU?"Indeed, imagine trying to sell the EU to a non member like Britain now.
Your confusing failure with not putting in place infrasture to inspect goods and collect tariffs till it is absolutely necessary. No suprise of course as you just see what you want to see.
It seems to have passed you by that, for the most part, inspection is low priority as everything would pass inspection anyway with both markets initially working to the same rules!
Barnier continually going public with statements like that is definitely blinking. Why would you say a thing if you were not worried about how the negotiations were going. You wouldnt. You just keep quiet and sit contentedly in the knowledge that you had what you wanted. The EU is up **** creek with out a paddle financially. Italy and Spain were in a terrible place before the virus now they expect to be bailed out and the arguments within have already started over who foots the bill. This can only strengthen our negotiation position.
EU: "Would you like to join the EU?"
Non-EU potential candidate: "After the way you treated the UK in negotiations for a trade deal!?! Go fuck yourselves!"
Of course it is, what's the point of extending it?Saying no extension is fine.
Of course - there will need to be a change to the refrain of the siren voices that the EU have relied on over decades...…...EU: "Would you like to join the EU?"

Someone posted the recent comments from Barnier, which included:Yes Mr Fauxwalski, you're very angry at the world, and we're all very impressed.
From a Leaver POV - it is sorted out nowIs this when the German car makers or Italian Prosecco sellers ride in?
What are the chances of this being sorted by the end of the month?

I presume that if we don’t have the infrastructure and capability to check EU imports to apply tariffs following a No Deal outcome, we will inadvertently breach MFN rules by effectively allowing EU imports tariff free which would allow any other country to take us to the WTO where we would be forced to allow tariff free imports of that commodity from everyone else as well.
And still the Brexit bullshitters think we’ve got the EU over a barrel and we only need to hold our nerve. Bottom line is we’re going to be screwed without a deal and they’ll just suffer some inconvenience that they’ll get over.
I don't. It's eminently pisstakable.I’m still marvelling how not preparing for something, as in not building infrastructure or hiring staff or whatever is somehow a ‘good strategy’. Or how announcing our firm intention to do ‘x’ in February and then saying the exact opposite in June translates into ‘we’ve got the EU on the run lads. Just have to hold our nerve’.
Maybe I’m missing something. Run it by me again lads and I promise not to take the piss.

Is that all you have these days Bob ? You seem unable to offer anything more to the debate. Thats a pity. You should try just a little bit of optimism and positivity for a change. I know its hard when you are still incredibly eaten up by the Ref and the last GE result. Think positive mate. You will get through this!“Nurse. Check for brain activity. No? Okay slap a ‘DNR’ notice on it and bring in the next post”
