The Brexit Consequences Thread

[oldsoak]

Yeah, good luck with that!

'With less than 50 days left for the Brexit transition period to end, India joined with nine nations at the World Trade Organisation (WTO) to raise concerns over the lack of clarity on how bilateral EU-UK trade will be treated in the absence of an agreement, and also demand compensatory concessions for the foreseen loss of market opportunities.

“A number of delegations intervened at the recent market access committee meeting at the WTO to express their concern over the uncertainty that still loomed over a EU-UK trade deal despite the Brexit transition deadline of December 31 fast approaching,” a Geneva-based trade official told BusinessLine.

'Since the EU is the second largest trading partner of India and the UK is amongst the top European nations with which the country trades (next to Germany), any change in trading terms between the UK and the EU can substantially impact the Indian business community. At the moment, there is no clarity about the kind of trade arrangement that will be in place between the UK and the EU once the transition period ends.

'Apart from India, the countries which called out for more clarity on UK-EU trade terms post-December 31, include Australia, Canada, China, Indonesia, Mexico, New Zealand, Paraguay, the US and Uruguay.

“The countries demanded that both the UK and the EU ensure that there should be compensatory concessions that are extended to trade partners for the market opportunities that may be lost due to the terms of Brexit,” the official said.'

Eh ? They can trade with the EU directly, we're not stopping them. Or were they using us a a trojan horse into the EU ?

India biting the hand that feeds them?

I hope that doesn't come back to haunt them.

In one source I read China has failed to reach a trade agreement with India.

Remember when they were screaming about Arron Banks being funded by the Russians and the MSM getting behind top Investigative Journalist cat lady, Carole Cadwalladr of Gruniad and Observer fame:

Oh Carole: Admits Russia Claims Untrue, Agrees to Pay Banks's Costs

Late last night with the Banks v Cadwalladr hearing scheduled for 10:30 this morning, Carole Cadwalladr finally admitted what we all knew, there was no

order-order.com

Who'd a thunk it.
ETA:
There's a reason we call them 'belters'.

Fake news then. Who would have thought a left wing journalist, as honest as the day is long, would make stuff up.

Damages case by Banks on the way as well as the legal costs in this case?

I think she is crowdfunded. What I would like to see is all her funders held jointly and severally liable for all damages and costs. At least it would make people think about what they are supporting. The twitterati still think that she is being hard done by (last time I looked).

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha, oh my aching sides.
We’re all going to starve!!!!!

Any more fantastically sourced ‘news’ links

Oh look;

What? Are you a bit ffick? Do you see those entries at 7. and 8.? They alone make up almost double the trade with the UK.

Hm this is getting interestinger, there's a three cornered bunfight in the EU anyway. It seems that the VDL is urging some kind of a compromise on Barnier and the EP is saying don't bank on a ratification at any cost. One of the sticking points it seems is on pre finished goods hitting supply chains- which on reflection has to be the Inward and outward processing of goods before being finished. It strikes me that once again. If we are going to guarantee Community transit, and goods coming here for finishing then being returned that there is no problem. These goods are never entered into home use and companies here and on the continent claim the vat exemption. There is therefore no reason to interfere. Heavens are there no properly trained customs officers on their teams? This simply isn't a problem.

Interesting article about the Brexit fisheries bill... sounds like just having a UK resisted boat/Flag of convenience means foreign owned vessels can fish in our waters and land their catch in the EU!..

Big Brexit Sell-Out is underway – new Fishing Bill is a Remainer's joke says MIKE HOOKEM

THE United Kingdom's Fisheries Bill received Royal Assent this week and thus the Fisheries Act quietly passed into law - but mark my words, it is the start of the big Brexit sell-out.

It piqued my interest as to why it's not on the beeb as well, so after a bit of googling:

Carole Cadwalladr on Twitter: "I love that ‘Russian-state affiliated media’ @RT_com & @SputnikInt are both ALL over this..but for the avoidance of doubt, this is totally false, nothing has been ‘admitted’. Statement on @bindmans website here: https://t.co/oyFR7QQ9Ou… https://t.co/tE5QmAzbbJ" / Twitter

I'll wait and see how the story plays out.

As you say, it looks like her backers might have to stump any shortfall between the monies raised and the costs.

 

[Banker]

I wonder whether the Grun will hang her out to dry on underwriting her costs.........it may explain the crowdfunding. I'm too lazy to research whether Banks sued her alone, or the Grun too.

She's not clever enough to have dreamed that little stunt up herself. Interesting how those who encouraged her and, presumably, underwrote some of her expenses, have now disappeared back into the woodwork.

I think he's trolling them.......the "crowdfunders" are not party to the action, so are very unlikely to be liable for costs.

I can't see it either, unless they sought a share of the pot if she had won.

 

[Banker]

Don't believe there was a counter-suit, so nothing other than costs would have been awarded.

Has to be trolling.........but it'll have them sweating.
