Brexit, for once some facts.
- Thread starter flecc
- Start date
Apparently it will be a problem because the UK is not a suitably listed third country - not that the regimes are not similar. For that reason, it is restricted to Cork, Rosslare and, as I have been reminded, Dublin Airport - and nowhere else.
If your post had not been immediately after one of mine which used the correct form, I wouldn't have mentioned it at all.

With UK trade relations unclear over Brexit, food standards are fast becoming a key test for public health in trade matters. On Feb 28, 2019, the US Trade Representative (USTR) published the US negotiating position on a post-Brexit US–UK trade deal.
USTR made clear that the UK must abandon the EU's high food safety, animal welfare, and environmental protection standards as a condition for agreeing the kind of deal many Brexiteers desire. On March 2, the US Ambassador to the UK attacked EU standards, calling Europe's food and farming a museum."
And Brexiteers will cry out two things

We’re NOT messing around! Boris sends EU furious warning over ‘historic misunderstanding’
Boris Johnson last night warned France’s Emmanuel Macron not to be fooled into believing Britain will delay its departure from the EU. The Prime Minister said it was time to “push forward” to get a deal done in a telephone call with the president.
I wonder how long it took for for Macron to stop laughing after he put the phone down?

Bojo believes sadly in his own propaganda.
Just look at the yield on gilts and investment grade bonds.
WTO brexit is going to make it very difficult to borrow more. There is a chart in the article, showing return on investment grade bonds in UK reaches 7% against German bonds at 2%. That shows the risk factor in holding Pound instead of Euros.
QUOTE:
While the pound has slumped 18% since the June 2016 Brexit referendum, gilts have returned investors nearly 20%. They have surged this year on global trade tensions and gloominess over the world economy, offering similar returns to U.S. Treasuries and more than Germany, according to Bloomberg Barclays Indexes. And unlike German bonds, they still offer positive yields.

the DT suggests that Bojo may bring back May's deal if there is no deal on the 19-October.
So long, Macron, it's time that we began
To laugh and cry and cry
And laugh about it all again.
I rather liked the Times' headline, given BJ's ditch comment:
PM's last-ditch Brexit bid
The Guardian brings up another of BJ's little misunderstandings:

The EU is so inclusive and diversive that people who live there have to move here to feel safe.
Perhaps we do need a border in Ireland.

Mixed race couple vilified by racists after appearing in Lidl ads
Fiona Ryan, 33, and fiance Jonathan Mathis, 32, appeared in ads for the supermarket chain from September. The couple had been living in Country Meath, Ireland, since last year.
I'm shocked I tell you!
Shocked!
The shame of Brexit means Brino will ruin Finger's day.
Don’t forget the scum-bag wife of a US intelligence officer who ran a man over, killed him and then pissed off back to the US claiming diplomatic immunity. That’s no what DI is for. She needs dragging back here to face the music. Worthless bitch.
