What now for the EU ?

[old_n_fat]

I believe BL's son has chosen a career in the military. He must be praying nightly that stupidity isn't hereditary....

Wordsmith

Hell be fine. His troops.........

 

[Wordsmith]

If the EU gave us a decent deal it would encourage other countries to leave,
we won't get a deal, the EU dare not do it

At the moment, I don't see any other countries leaving. I think it would take a failure of the euro and the attempt by the EU to impose further erosion of sovereignty to do that.

The problem is further complicated by by euro membership. You would have to have an alternative currency lined up when you triggered Article 50, and at the first whiff of that, the European Commission would go postal.

My wife, too. What's your military experience, if any?

I know that it's wrong to derive so much glee from it. But I'm absofuckinlutely delighted that the paddies are trapped and utterly borked. Fifth highest contributor and screwed by lack of a route to market.
I'm just a simple soul at heart.

I'll go for BRINO.

I think it might actually be a case of Deal In Name Only, just enough to grease the skids and allow everyone to say how clever they were, etc. I doubt there is much time to get anything close to a comprehensive trade deal before December 31st. Still, who knows ...

I am really not sure if this is the right Thread to place it but **** it, it is worth placing somewhere.

Love them or hate them - and all shades inbetween

It was worth watching that to listen to Dominic talking about taxes (from around +5 mins) through the ages and the challenges for the future.

 

[Whey_Aye_Banzai]

I'll go for BRINO.

It's much to late for that.

Freedom of movement will end and the the UK will (and already has) sign trade agreements with other countries (something a BRINO would've prevented).

 

[Scaley Albereto]

Off topic, but it's a worrying thought that one of the candidates for US president would be a strong candidate for SPOTY if they posted on ARRSE, while the other strikes me as a case of senile dementia waiting to happen.

Isn't politics wonderful?

Population of 380 million & the best they can produce is Trump & Biden...

Actually quite fcucking scary....

I've got an Audible credit sat waiting to be used.

And they have Dominic's book there:

Daylight Robbery

Check out this great listen on Audible.com. Brought to you by Penguin. For most people, tax is something we pay, simply because we must. We seldom think much more about it; in fact, tax is something we'd rather forget. But the reality is that tax is the key to power. No government can ...

Thanks @medwaymud for my next book.

Yup , his breadth of knowledge as well as the clarity of speech and his sense of fair play in argument. I ******* rate him.
Don't care if he is a poof - he is my kind of poof ( from the points made above)

 

[Grownup_Rafbrat]

I've said all along he will agree a deal. It won't be Brexity enough for the zealots and that's the funny bit.

You're still deluded then. I've had you on ignore for some years and just popped in to check.

 

[ExREME.TECH]

I'll go for BRINO.

Like anyone gives a fook what you think

 

[Harryc]

"Brussels has proposed that non-UK/non-EU content be limited to 45 per cent of the car, a figure ACEA wants pushed up to 50 per cent “in line with the UK’s position”.

Looks like trade is more important to industry than political posturing.

They can all eff off at the high port.
Effin furrin tw@ts.

 

[ExREME.TECH]

Both sides will stall until the result of the US Presidential election is known.

Be too late then

 

[Grownup_Rafbrat]

Aye, but we are using the script rewritten by BJ & DC. I think Barnier is still stumbling with his new role of village idiot.

He aspires to that.

 

[Harryc]

she'll need a forty foot container for that ego, never mind Pickfords

fheckin horrid specimen.
Best use for the old bat is at Porton Down.

 

[Grownup_Rafbrat]

Hell be fine. His troops.........

Will follow him out of a sense of curiosity.

 

[Harryc]

That's the witch who wants to ethnic cleanse Britain of white people?.

that's the badger.

or am that racerist?

 

[History_Man]

At least it isn't the promised WW3, which I cleaned my boots for

BL expected you to clean his boots too. You would've enjoyed being his batman...

Ironic really when they had an actor for President and he ended the cold war with Maggie, so they can produce quality sometimes
