Current Affairs EU In or Out

I’d hardly call it disinformation.

OK, plain wrong then. You'll be the first to rush to the shops to stockpile because you've bet it's right about there being food shortages. Thus depriving others of buying some of their weekly shopping.

One salient point came home to me today. The annoying but probably necessary GDPR will no longer apply to UK based companies that have contracts with EU concerns. Where these contracts involve data particularly relating to EU citizens, there may be serious implications for those contracts continuing.

We will still adhere to those standards. And if the EU makes a change we will adopt that too. We will not just drop all these laws, so people who thought brexit would be cutting the cord will be mistaken and oh yes we won't have been involved in any of the law making process in future for these things. But we're taking back control or something...

And also the EU doesn't have a gun at all because it's approached the meeting in a spirit of cooperation between soon-to-be former partners who need to resolve important issues, and you've decided it's a possible prelude to war.

Oh grow up, you know it's only a figure of speech.

I was of the understanding that the EU would be negotiating the whole of our withdrawal from the Eu and covering every aspect of the withdrawal..........

They are.

This may happen, that may happen. The trouble is, May happened to go in lily-liveried, bowing and scraping without an "or else!" due to a Remainer parliament.

You are merely agreeing with me, it’s the individual countries who are doing this because the EU has not.......

They have no jurisdiction to do so though? We are set to be a non-EU country, so how can they dictate to member states how they should treat UK citizens? That's not something they've ever done as far as I'm aware, so not sure why you expect them to start now?

Well he’s not been caught in a car with a prostitute.....yet.....

He has fathered children with numerous women Pete. Glass houses and all that.

It most definitely will happen.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Don't forget the punitive costs inflicted on us due to our cheek in wanting to leave them to their own cabal, because after all the EU are our friends and they don't want us to leave, but by golly they want our money if we do. Not as a punishment mind you because the EU are not like that, well actually they are aren't they.

What punitive costs are these?

I think it's safe to say, after reading through Pete's concept of negotiation last night, that neither he nor Boris fully understand the principle of a managed withdrawal.

My understanding was that GDPR would roll over to UK legislation, but equally given the untrustworthy nature of the current government I'm reluctant to believe anything until it's confirmed as legislation.

The 'or else' wasn't powerful enough in this instance to make a difference. It is laughable to think that the EU would just crumble because the threat of no deal. The EU has a responsibility to the other 27 countries, including Ireland who share a border and its own very existence. Too may concessions to the UK then what is the point of being in the club when they can have the juiciest benefits without freedom of movement etc.?

 

[TyphooToffee]

It most definitely will happen.

Oh, sorry, how could I possibly doubt it. It's a waste of time commenting on here. Remainers are always right and leavers are always wrong.

Is that your standard for "a pillar of virtue"?

I'm not sure how you can gather this on the basis of me pointing out that someone that isn't factually correct about something isn't spreading disinformation, but sure, if you say so.
