      Kippers dismiss the idea of the EU keeping the peace, but at the first sign of any disagreement you're already talking about using military force.

      Given that fishing is only about 0.5% of GDP, it might be easier and cheaper to simply let the Danes and Belgians have our waters.
      Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

              I suppose with military experts like the Italians & the French they much prefer to surrender.
              Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

                And I thought the UK was already on the ropes and would beg the EU let us sell the our Jam.

                But our friends are now scrabbling around to find something to win.

                  Cling on tight onto the old clichés. They will serve you well in the establishment of Empire 2.0.

                      Other way round. The UK holds all the cards due to the balance of trade between UK and EU27.
