It’s completely pointless. It’s getting to plane nonsense now. Wonder when they declare that the UK will leave Europe and declare being a continent in itself.

Renton 21429 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 So, Johnson once again reiterating he will not extend the transition period, despite the impossibly short time frame being further set back because of the coronavirus crisis making face to face meetings impossible. We're leaving ESEA and Reach for literally no sane reason other than "sovereignty". And I was hearing earlier that the EMA will block purchase any vaccines to coronavirus that become available, so we'll be behind them in the queue, becauseof Johnson. The future is looking so bright.

ewerk 30393 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 So the Prime Minister is in ICU, his point man is currently isolating and both chief negotiators have had coronavirus but we’re still pressing ahead with this madness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 5188 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 I've read some opinion that they may just be stalling turning around on it until June/July since they don't actually have to make the decision yet. But honestly it wouldn't surprise me is they press ahead regardless. And if they do that, then actually, maybe they know something we don't and it's not going to be as bad as we think. I can't fathom why any government would continue otherwise, it makes no logical sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Covid is a serious threat to free trade between countries and wider globalisation. Really informative article. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 5188 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 (edited) And I really hope it means Brexit is indeed fucked. Can't quite bring myself to believe that in a meaningful sense though. Edited April 8, 2020 by Rayvin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only logical reason could be to bluff and force as many concessions as they can from the EU before switching tack and triggering the extension.

Meenzer 15466 Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 "The government has privately conceded there will be post-Brexit checks on goods crossing the Irish Sea, months after Boris Johnson insisted insisted there would be no such trade barriers." https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2020/may/13/brexit-will-mean-checks-on-goods-crossing-irish-sea-government-admits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 30393 Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Quote Theresa May fiercely rejected a text drawn up by the European Commission, declaring: "No UK prime minister could ever agree to it." The prime minister told MPs that the paper - which proposes a "common regulatory area" between the EU and Northern Ireland - would "threaten the constitutional integrity of the UK" by creating a border down the Irish Sea. Well we can add this to the list of things she was wrong about. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
