    Well done.

    Now you just need to try and convince this dwindling bunch of like-minded nincompoops in this tiny non-representative sub-forum of the truth of your words.

    Good luck with that.............you can't educate mince as they say.

    Never send Boris out to buy an over ready chicken, cos this is what he'll come back with.

    Rumours are out that if Boris goes to Brussels it will be to sign the deal. This could be the Chamberlainian moment he's been building up to.
    If he does, it will trigger a civil war in the Tory party, Nigel Farage will be back and there will be a new Anti-EU movement dedicated to getting the UK out of the trade deal. This has the potential to secure tabloid newspaper sales for years.

    Yeah but those terms are great. So Brexiters have been telling us.

    This is wonderful - something to watch from an non-EU country. I do feel sorry for 47% of the UK population. Probably more now.

    FTFY


    except for the fact that Debenham's employed more staff than the entire UK fishing fleet, and revenues were greater than the GDP contribution of the entire UK fishing fleet.
    We really are having our cake and eating it.

    Looks like Boris is backing down:

    Discussions [on a trade deal] continue to progress and final decisions are expected in the coming days. If the solutions being considered in those discussions are agreed, the UK government would be prepared to remove clause 44 of the UK internal market bill, concerning export declarations. The UK government would also be prepared to deactivate clauses 45 and 47, concerning state aid, such that they could be used only when consistent with the United Kingdom’s rights and obligations under international law.
    ...

    With no access to EU/EEA waters cod and haddock will be much more difficult to catch.

    Soon on the menu in Blackpool
