Danidl...you did say that money wasnt the prime obstacle to a deal. Yet it is strange that after we started to make noises about giving £50 billion then the impasse on the Ireland border is suddenly solved (not sure how).
Do you think that 100,000 reduction is positive....I suppose it depends where the reduction came from....if it was from the NHS,Social Care,skilled IT,hospitality industry,that cannot be good news....I think many are leaving because we have indicated we dont want them but probably the weakness of the £ means they can earn better money elsewhere and lower living costs.
Was it given in French or English (sorry I don't watch French news often)?
Yes, and I think you'll find that "result" isn't a positive for the UK is it? Its only positive if you think immigration is a problem.
Noisy Remainers....I dont think so....any discussion with a Brexiteer on the TV inevitably causes ranting from the Leaver,just try having a conversation with the likes of Carol Malone,she has a gold medal in ranting.
Assuming that those minds are open to persuasion of course, other than that provided by Right Wing Media.Which recently has pulled off a quite remarkable reversal over Not Pay/ Pay the money to the EU and covered it over with Royal Engagement Bilge.
Do we really know what the effects of 'crashing out' are? Theresa May seems desperate to avoid whatever the costs,hence the £50 billion.
actually, yes.
It looks like there are commitments best described as definite that we have to pay,these seem like the £18billion,then there are 'grey' commitments which are open to negotiation,then there are future projects that we only pay if we are nice people. Dont forget the transition period also helps the EU to get its house in order,post Brexit,these matters are not one sided.
Really? my now that is interesting, from who's perspective may I ask?
Possibly because having experience of how Nigel Farage behaved he now knows what an English Imbecile looks, sounds and behaves like, when he encounters one, a useful trait that appallingly was, and still is lacking in the skill set of Brexit Voters.Was it given in French or English (sorry I don't watch French news often)?
Being bilingual is an eye opener sometimes. "Lost in Translation" is quite often an understatement. Barnier is quite a level headed chap but maybe he is losing patience? I wonder why...
The trouble with the Brexit argument is for us Remainers to be proved right the UK will go down the pan,which obviously nobody wants.
Woosh,you seem to have become a much more commited Leaver since the EU has threatened the anti-dumping duty on e-bikes. Remember that Theresa May/Hammond may decide to keep these tariffs post Brexit and pocket the duties into the UK coffers.
Bicycle Association have advised.
I watched the BBC Daily Politics today at lunch time. They took their yellow balls to Eltham, the only place in London that voted for brexit. The vast majority 'go bananas' at the news that our government has agreed to stump up £50 very large ones. Most people who voted for brexit still could not see that the money is for past and present liabilities, not paying for a trade deal. As far as they are concerned, they still on the side of IDS, we shouldn't pay a penny unless we get a good deal.
I am for a moderate anti dumping on Chinese e-bikes. It will pay for the eventual additional cost of assembling e-bikes in the UK.
Really? so everything will be fine and dandy will it?
The link was broken, here it is repaired:
the austerity affects mainly the poorest 20% - a lot of brexiters have higher income than them.
I am not aware that the irish border problem has been sorted... today's irish papers don't have any such information. What information do you have and from what source. ? As you might expect I have a vested interest here.
