The EU have the most experienced and hard nosed negotiators on the planet. It's one of the reasons why the EU is the most prosperous economic block in the world. What have we got? Liz fucking Truss with her copy and paste deals, and two dreadful agreements sorted out in weeks that have little to no benefit to the UK with Japan and Australia. It's hardly a surprise since the groundwork for the UK is being carried out by poorly paid new graduates in the civil service coming up against people with years of negotiations behind them striking deals that take, on average, 7 years to agree with mutual benefits all round.

We are being sold down the river by a totally incompetent government. There is a lack of judgement from the entire cabinet, not only with our covid response, but also trade deals being hurriedly agreed. Smiles in front of the cameras for a splash on the Daily Express front page and an easy headline mean more than the long term consequences.

Short term thinking in typical British fashion.

'Build Back Better' my arse. We won't build back better because what we had was as good it could get, and we've thrown it away for nothing.

They might as well say 'we're getting there'.

Somehow, dunno how, but I think we'll be OK, maybe.

Is that a definite or possible maybe?
Or do you stand by your "dunno how"?
It may well turn out OK. as some of our more prescient posters maintain, but I probably won't be around when that happens. Hopefully, my daughters and granddaughter will arrive at those Elysian fields, but I've more chance of playing for City than seeing it.
I'm not pessimistic, just realistic.

But why? Just heard it on the radio and they stated that the £2 per day will be used to upgrade the UK network which means there isn’t any cost involved to them and they have chosen to charge extra just because somebody goes abroad.

When they say ‘Upgrade the network’ do they really mean ‘being fed into Johnson and cronies pocket’.
