August 4, 20204 yr Iain Duncan Smith has re-emerged from his coffin and is complaining about the details of the Withdrawal Agreement. That would be the Withdrawal Agreement he voted for. That would be the Withdrawal Agreement he wanted to be rushed through parliament with the minimum of scrutiny. No doubt he still sticks to the line that Leave voters knew what they were voting for even though he didn't.
August 29, 20204 yr In its latest act of sheer lunacy, the UK is now trying to renegotiate the deal it signed last October. After all, it's not as if we will look at all untrustworthy by doing that, is it? The treaty included a continuation of the protected status of names such as champagne Parma ham and feta cheese. The UK wants to end that so that, for example, English makers of sparkling wine can call their product champagne. However, they want products such as Stilton cheese, cornish pasties and Melton Mowbray pork pies to retain their protected status within the EU. Perhaps they could explain why they think the EU is likely to agree to that. Do they really expect the French president, for example, to tell his voters that it doesn't matter?
September 3, 20204 yr @1301406437458038784 Is... is this right-wing comedy? How is this real? Mask off for the countless time again. Also, he's not even an expert in trade. Edited September 3, 20204 yr by blacksquare
September 3, 20204 yr Feels like an appropriate time to post what is probably the best political speech of the 21st century. ihd7ofrwQX0
September 3, 20204 yr It seems like a daft appointment, one of the "jobs for the boys". Is he really an expert on trade? I find it hard to believe.. unless we're hell bent on being trade partners with the other side of the world in exclusivity.

September 4, 20204 yr Boris thinks we'll be okay whatever the outcome and he's said this. "We’re ready for any eventuality, of course. But we must make sure that people understand that at the end of the year, whatever happens, we are leaving the EU, and leaving the transition period, the implementation period. That is it. That’s why it is vital that people who have questions, who have queries about what they need to do, get on to our websites, look at what they need to do to prepare, and certainly we will help them. But we will get through this. It’s absolutely vital that our partners understand that the UK is going to do what we need to do. If we have to have an Australia-style deal, an Australia-style solution, then that is what we will achieve, and we will prosper mightily one way or the other. They could, of course, be sensible and give us a Canada-style solution, which after all they’ve given Canada, and I hope very much hope that they will, but we’re ready for either eventuality.
September 5, 20204 yr Yes I do. Perhaps you could list some occasions when Johnson's predictions have been accurate.
September 5, 20204 yr Yes I do. Please include reasons in your answer with reverting to ‘Boris says we’ll be fine’ or ‘no one has a crystal ball, we don’t know it’ll be bad’.
September 5, 20204 yr WTO - The only way to go. The UK have plans ready for our extremely bright future outside the EU project, the EU project does not figure in our future plans at all. The EU have failed in these negotiations, the UK will get back everything we have given away to the EU project, the EU will end up with nothing from the UK. Edited September 5, 20204 yr by PeaceMob
September 5, 20204 yr WTO - The only way to go. The UK have plans ready for our extremely bright future outside the EU project, the EU project does not figure in our future plans at all. The EU have failed in these negotiations, the UK will get back everything we have given away to the EU project, the EU will end up with nothing from the UK. Please explain 1) What is so wonderful about WTO rules? 2) If they are so wonderful, why is there not a single country that trades entirely under WTO rules? 3) When are the next elections to the WTO? After all, surely you aren't suggesting that we should do what we're told by an organisation that is significantly less democratic than the EU. 4) The EU's objectives in trade talks are about getting the best deal for their members. How have they failed?
September 5, 20204 yr The EU mistakenly think the UK will always remain on WTO with everyone and we will come crawling back to their vile EU project. They are wrong. Like I said before, the UK has prepared for this, we will see the results from 2021. The EU have failed, they will not get anything from the UK anymore. The EU countries put their trust in Barnier, that man has been an absolute failure for them. The UK has made that clear to Barnier, and the UK will be ready to end the talks if Barnier does not get real FAST.

September 5, 20204 yr if you're Paul Joseph Watson I'll give you 20p. We're in the end game, there will be no October 31st. Or even November like Merkel wanted. The EU are that arrogant, they thought Boris would be exactly the same as that traitor Theresa May.
