You haven’t answered the question.

Did you really think the EU was going to keep agencies in the UK to save on some rent?

Delusional.

Irish exporters face extra complications at Calais

Irish companies exporting food to Europe using the UK land bridge will face extra complications at Calais because the French authorities were "too fast" in developing their electronic system to cope with Brexit, RTÉ News has learned.

Article shows how the Irish have now been effectively shafted by the French who have a new IT system for monitoring movements at Calais.
It seems it can't distinguish between UK lorries & Irish lorries in transit across the UK landbridge so Irish trucks will be subject to precisely the sort of checks they wanted to see imposed on NI - all in the interests of 'protecting the EU single market/customs union'

"Shafted"? That implies something deliberate. It's an IT glitch and the article explains how the French are trying to "facilitate" ways round the problem.

It's quite odd when our choice to leave the single market is treated as if there's some malice by the EU in insisting that the SM exists.

I wonder if the penny has dropped now amongst our Remainer friends that the importance of rights of fishing to the UK in taking part in these negotiations is not limited to the narrow facts of its 5age of the UK economy, or that quotas have previously been sold, or that we different types of fish, or that we need to export, etc.

Surely, that penny has dropped for even the most die-hard of reality deniers?

Be warned. That's so obscure that any response could be twisting his words.

A month before a pandemic was declared.

Seriously, why would the EU keep any of its agencies in a non-member country?

Because we're the best country in the world.

The CIA are moving here from Langley. There's an empty office block in Canary Wharf.

Yes, but more importantly, capability.

Yes, but more importantly, capability.

Yes they lost some capability that will take some time to replace, but there is no doubt that they will do this.

Why are you so worried about EU capability anyway? Perhaps you should think about all the capability we’ve thrown away by removing ourselves from the EU and all its agencies. That is what is relevant to us.

I think you've hit on a good Brexit metaphor.

EU damages its own interest (health research) as a matter of principle (that EU offices should be in the EU).

UK damages its own interest (everything, including its own existence as the UK) as a matter of principle (the delusion that we're the best country in the world).

Coveney has felt the need to be in close contact with Paris recently.

Probably asking questions like - FFS, we agreed to be used as a weapon in negotiations - don't end up fucking us over

There is an increasing level of concern emanating from Dublin recently - not sure why? Surely the new direct ferry route has the capacity to deal with all this?

Did you not mention 50 years?

Show me the post and let's all see if you were/are twisting words

Certainly - if you can show that I have explicitly stated that it will require ".....50 years to see the benefit." - then you can be sure that I will have the strength of character to acknowledge that you were correct in your post.

If I only referred to Moggs comments, rather than expressed my own explicit view that it would take 50 years, can I be equally sure that you will have the strength of character to set the record straight ?

Its OK - you have already proven in all your responses on this subject that you do not have comprehension of the subject of fishing rights in the context of these negotiations

Your struggles have been quite amusing
