Current Affairs EU In or Out

“Michel Barnier effectively killed off Theresa May’s customs plan in Brussels on Thursday as he warned that the European Union would never accept British officials collecting duties on its behalf after Brexit.

The EU’s chief Brexit negotiator refused to accept that Britain had “evolved its position” and he offered no concessions in return for the Prime Minister’s soft Brexit plan, which led to the resignations of David Davis and Boris Johnson after crunch Cabinet talks at Chequers.

Instead, he said that the UK could still join “a customs union”, which would mean Britain could not make its own trade deals after Brexit.”

And there it is. No matter how the U.K. bends over backwards, the answer is no. May will lose her job over this if she even attempts to try to sell this.......

And people STILL want to remain part of an organisation of which he is a major player.

Yeah mate the EU not fancying the idea of a non member who doesn’t fall under their jurisdiction and therefore not regulated by them, collecting tariffs and VAT on their behalf is completely unreasonable. Doesn’t even warrant a comment, it completely justifies a no deal Brexit. Load the shotgun.

Barnier is a vile and largely useless creature who epitomizes everything that is wrong with the EU.

However May, Raab, Johnson, Davies and Rees-Mogg make him look like Bismarck.

There must be half a dozen links, are you as incompetent on Google as they other guy?

These are the first 6 links google spits out using the phrase you suggested:

https://www.theguardian.com/business/2017/jan/05/chief-economist-of-bank-of-england-admits-errors

This isn’t Carney talking, there is no apology and this at the end is kind of key: “Has that led us to fundamentally change our view on the fortunes of the economy looking forward over the next several years? Not really”

https://www.theguardian.com/busines...y-grilling-mps-rates-uk-economy-business-live

Again - no apology.

https://www.politico.eu/article/mark-carney-eats-humble-pie-on-brexit/

Headline in this one is getting slightly closer to what you want, but read the article, there is plenty of crowing from the usual suspects but the actual quotes from Carney and associates have no apology. They say the economy has done slightly better than expected post vote with the usual caviat saying “the post-vote economic calm is due to the fact that the divorce hasn’t happened yet.”

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/01/11/eu-has-lose-hard-brexit-uk-mark-carney-says/

Same article as the one prior really. Eurosceptic MP’s want him to apologise- but he hasn’t and within his own quotes defends his position:

“However, he insisted that the Bank of England was right to be pessimistic in its forecasts.

He said: “As you'd expect a bunch of dour central bankers to be, we're focused on the downside and less focused on how everything could turn out well, but what could go really wrong... and where can we potentially mitigate that.”

http://uk.businessinsider.com/mark-carney-brexit-wage-forecast-2018-2

This one says we are actually doing worse than he thought possible pre referendum. So that’s nice.

https://www.ftadviser.com/investments/2018/02/02/carney-defends-bank-of-england-economic-forecasts/

And then this one, in which he defends his pre referendum position again.

There is no apology. It simply did not happen.

Absolutely nothing to do with my actual post, but seeing as you’ve brought it up.

I was against a second referendum until recently. However, I’m now fully supportive of the people’s vote idea, as I’m sick to the back teeth of seeing lying charlatans like Mogg pushing for a no deal Brexit. People didn’t vote for that, they were told it’d be the easiest deal in human history. So if Parliament reaches deadlock with no deal or no Brexit the only choices remaining, then it should rightly be put back to the vote.

Completely agree.

How can anyone beat the drum of "the will of the people must prevail"!! And then went "the people" a vote once the actual facts are known.

Nobody on the serious Leave side advocated a No Deal crash exit.

 

[Charlie Sweet]

Pete in the Irish Border thread you said the people (of the UK) were now warming to the idea of a No Deal Brexit.

I'm fascinated if that's the case. Can you point me to where you read that?

I think they've missed out the decimal point.
