    The Canada deal still has quotas and virtually nothing on services.

    It's one tiny bit of Belgium, not even the whole. Shows what a shambles the EU is and why it takes them so long to do anything.

    Revolution, ha! MP's know it'll never happen. What country do you think you're in, France?
    A bunch of senile old buffers conducting a revolution.

    We won't have revolution while it's financially better to be on the dole than in a job, no question about it.

    It looks reasonable. There is a small enclave of Belgium currently blocking the deal with Canada but that should be sorted in the next couple of weeks.

    If we had never been a member of the EU then this sort of deal would always have been on. Just a few petty eurocrats who want to punish us but they will soon be pushed aside.

    Sounds good; the Russians have good economic relations with Canada and we need to start distancing ourselves from whichever lunatic wins the US election.
