Political relations between UK-EU

Obsessing over pedantic definitions is an helpful distraction from inconvenient truths

In other news - a distinct disadvantage of Brexit to me personally is that UK citizens are now restricted to old-fashioned duty-free allowances:

For years I have been like a 'mule' for both people in the UK and Cyprus taking suitcases full of goodies - it might affect how much people look forward to seeing me

At least your 'disadvantage' isn't life threatening.

Oh really, the problem you have with your beloved Nicky is that she's the
leader of a nationalist party, with nationalist aims, obviously, but that unpalatable fact has to be sold by pretending that they're not.
But I have no problem with the Scots voting for her, or anyone, as you say,
they were real elections, conducted in a working democracy.
Just like Nigel Farage was elected as an MEP.

Yes but he never led a party to election wins with a range of domestic policies, he never ran a government and increased his majority as Sturgeon will.
Is she any more nationalist than Jonhson is leaving the UK to rejoin the EU in a vote more nationalist than taking the UK out of the EU. Either way she can only deliver independece by winning a majority in May.
All besides the point anyway, comparing Sturgeon to either Farage or Putin is too ridiculous to carry on bothering debating.

Fine, my original point is that she represents a Nationalist party, and anyone
who's a nationalist is anathema to many on here. The comparison with the two individuals mentioned may not be welcomed, but nationalists is what they are.
Personally, I've no problem with that, I have issues with them as individuals,
but not their political positions.

It's likely to be more quiet than usual due to the stockpiling done in anticipation of No Deal and all the concerns about the additional red tape. The real test will be when the warehouses are down to their usual levels.

Agreed indeed

But, I do not recall there being any caveats to the 'predictions of doom' - such as the apocalypse will likely not materialise until February, because....

But anyway, I am all for looking to the future and I am sure, you and all other posters on here will join me in just being absolutely delighted that there are - to date - no signs of the 'disaster' that was predicted - afterall, we all want what is best for the UK

Let's all be cautious though and keep monitoring things with fingers crossed
 
Anywho...back to fishing

‘We’ve been telling the same story for more than two years, well before Kirkella was christened at Greenwich in 2019. But there is little sign the UK government has listened. Without individual bilateral deals on quotas with Greenland, the Faroes and especially Norway, there is no long-term viable distant-waters fishing industry in the UK from January 1’
