Political relations between UK-EU

[metalblue]

Maybe I'm wrong. That sounds like you have advised ministers on how to avoid simple but awkward questions. Say it's the wrong question.

You’ve reminded me of my daughter doing her some tests at school a couple of years back. She had revised a particular topic well and when a question came up she hadn’t revised for she simply changed the question to suit what she had revised! I said at the time she should become a politician!!

I block MB so I am now intrigued by the last two replies, are they to the same post or different posts I ask myself. Do I have too much time on my hands? The answer is clearly, yes.

Doesn’t really surprise me mate, blocking what you don’t like is as clearly your MO as you’ve spent the last 4.5 years of your life with your fingers in your ears going “la la la” pretending none of this happened ;)

He was surprised you know who Mahrez is. You might (or not) want to see this:

That would make sense, except the cataclysm that was predicted hasn't actually transpired yet.

Let us know when it does. We've left a political union, turning it into a trade-only relationship. We're reconnecting with the world and so far, aside from a few butthurt EU flag wavers, nothing has happened that has caused any concern (aside from the EU showing it has no chill about the Ireland/N.Ireland situation obvs)

I think the word "yet" is working hard, and "nothing has happened that has caused any concern" would go down well in the fishing communities (and many other businesses) now under threat.

Or - the more likely scenario......

......after 3 years of a Remainer led UK government acquiescing to all EU demands to be placed in the WA and PD - in late 2019, the first opportunity for a pro-Brexit UK government to make a decision came around.

They had to make a judgement based on what was left behind by the utterly ruinous negotiations undertaken previously by the slavishly subservient Remainer government, with the options being....

1. Sign the existing WA and commit to implementing the PD

2. Scrap the currently available deal and start negotiations afresh - resulting in losing many months - probably years of the 5 years available to make an impact before the next GE

3. Act to take out the most ruinous element of the WA - the unfettered backstop - get the UK the fuck out and then jettison the pathetic PD. Use the period of the transition to face down the EU in a number of other areas bu avoid at all costs any further extensions

There is a lot that the UK electorate must hold the Remainer led government of 2016-2019 accountable for - like they did in December 2019

No they didn’t. They re-elected a Tory government

And the positive news just keeps on coming.

But... the fish or something...

While acknowledging that on the face of it this is good news it probably doesn’t help the fishermen whose livelihoods are threatened. Still you got some likes for laughing at them
