Really? Comparing one against one where there is potentially one against many is a fallacy
Since June 2019, a spat between the EU and Switzerland has meant that the bloc’s exchanges have been banned from Swiss shares.
But with the UK no longer a member of the EU, Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) has again approved UK trading venues.
Prior to the ban, London exchanges handled more than a quarter of Swiss shares every day – some €1.2bn, according to the CBOE.
Ever closer union is in the opening paragraph of the treaty itself. Then it was "between the European peoples" (since adapted to include between the member states) but it's not an interpretation. Whether it meant leading to a political union is debatable, but it has always been in the treaties we signed..That isn’t the actual treaty but an interpretation of it.
The actual treaty states the “aim of the Community, by establishing a Common Market and progressively approximating the economic policies of Member States, to promote throughout the Community a harmonious development of economic activities and balance expansion, an increased stability, an accelerated raising of living and closer relations between its Member States”
Tell me is that a complete picture of what the EU has become? Or has it perhaps added to those aims somewhat? Well I know the answer because it required the Maastricht Treaty to become what it is today (and yes one the UK government of the time signed up to)
Just say you were talking cobblers. Everyone knows when you avoid challenges. You're the Mahrez of the thread.You are too locked in your own reality to have time for anything else
For me - this post just confirms that you really over ever understood matters during 2017-2019 at a superficial level
Local political word is that the May local elections will go ahead. Tories have been harvesting postal votes, but more importantly we know local traders (especially any with international trade) are facing real difficulties but say it won't feed into prices and supply until the summer.You really have no idea the shit storm that's going on right now do you. I envy you a bit.

You don't even know who that isDamn, that is cold...
Or - the more likely scenario......I think there's two entirely plausible scenarios at play. One, we didn't bother to read the detail of the deal, or two, we did and just hoped it would never come up. Whichever it is, and I'm guessing the first, the shambles last week means the govt has an opportunity to try and blame it on the EU now and will milk it for all it's worth
