Since proven to be true, as the article makes clear: "Subsequently, it was correct. It was not true that you could skip to the front of the line." Really the story is: "Cameron asked Obama to tell the truth!" Oh dear indeed.. desperate times for you guys eh ---------- Post added 02-07-2018 at 17:53 ---------- I see the pictures of cakes and unicorns has failed to impress: UK's latest Brexit proposal is unrealistic, say EU officials https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2018/jul/02/uk-latest-brexit-proposal-is-unrealistic-say-eu-officials Too may cakes... unsurprisingly.

Top Cats Hat Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 The EU seeks Euro-global domination and, next after that, a large dollop of UK taxpayers' cash. We'l be well off out of the entire squalid farce. Very unfortunate choice of words there, Jeffrey! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tzijlstra Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Looks like the cabinet is still at war with itself. The iPaper this morning reports on a rift between Rees-Mogg and Johnson on one side and the Chancellor and Prime Minister on the other. The proposed 'third option' customs union has been ridiculed and looks unlikely to get through. I have a stronger and stronger suspicion that we'll be having elections pretty darned soon.

hobinfoot Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 This is not resolveable. We have two choices. We wish to continue to trade easily with Europe which means some form of customs union, whatever they choose to call it. The Brextremists will throw their toys out of the pram. We wish to trade freely with the rest of the world so trade with Europe grinds to a complete halt, all UK air transport is grounded, hospitals start running out of essential stocks the Irish border is reimposed and the pound starts to nosedive, all in the hope of securing good trade deals with the US and China just as the US provokes the biggest trade war in decades. The Brextremists will cheer but the rest of us will pay the price. Over to you Mrs May! Trade with the EU will still carry on. Businesses on both sides will not want to cut off a lucrative trade with the other by imposing punishing tariffs. This I believe will eventually be the pragmatic outcome of the negotiations.

This I believe will eventually be the pragmatic outcome of the negotiations.Of course U.K.-EU27 trade will still carry on. But on the tarriff side of things, I’m afraid that’s entirely out of businesses’ hands: (I) you can’t wish WTO rules away and (II) we have all seen how much ‘influence’ both U.K. and EU businesses have with the U.K. government, i.e. none. (preemptive reminder: German car manufacturers -amongst others, including Airbus & co.- have been backing the Single Market model from day one, that means they expect the U.K. to stay in or as close to it (to the contrary of the EU making SM-imperilling concessions), but would otherwise live with the U.K. not doing that) Edited July 4, 2018 by L00b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Brexit was supposed to lead to a free trade nirvana why the hell are Brexiters openly welcoming tariffs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
