    The EU are really quaking in their boots:

    Brexit FURY as EU consider postponing negotiations

    Speaking at the Future Relationship with the European Union Committee this morning, Mr Gove admitted negotiations could now be delayed following "indications" from the EU.
    In more news it looks like manufacturers will be delivering a corona virus vaccine to the EU first. The UK will have to wait.

    experts warned Brexit could prevent Britain from getting its hands on a coronavirus vaccine quickly and cheaply.
    pharmaceutical firms are more likely to prioritise the EU market rather than submitting their drug to the UK’s Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency first.

    I presume you're including the UK in that as it hasn't actually left the EU in full yet...

    Brexit is bad timing, global economy is plunging and the businesses are going to face huge additional bureaucratic costs in January, which will be the last straw. It's abundantly clear that the EU will put the shutters up. The UK now on ropes.

    Not quite sure what you are suggesting but assuming you mean that the Incas (who subjugated almost all of south America 12 million subjects) with 100 thousand warriors were wiped out by the Spaniards with superior numbers?


    You know Pizzaro and his few thousand men sailed from Spain in small ships (in today's terms) carrying a few hundred men to subjugate the 12 million strong Inca Empire?

    yeah look at the British, German, French, Dutch & Belgian empires. For instance those Zulus were outnumbered 0.05 to one!

    The key point in all these battles were superior tactics & arms not numbers.Of course syphilis & Smallpox helped.

    If you mean overall population then the Incas had 12 million population in their Empire (with 100K ethnic Incas) and the Spanish Empire was 8.5Million so shockingly wrong.

    List of countries by population in 1500 - Wikipedia

    oh its spooter I should have expected bullocks.

    That would apply to most if not all of the Brexit thread.

    Sorry, you can't handle the truth, sockie.

    Or, in the absence of Incas, ask the Welsh...
