Current Affairs EU In or Out

Doubtful. it's 2000 pages long and neither the Welsh Assembly or Scottish Parliament have seen it yet.

Haha fair point!

We need to see the deal before we can determine it. That table relates to people and goods, but not services, which is what the UK economy mainly is based on.

A big shame about the erasmus scheme though, I done a year on that myself.

Bewildered thats been cut. My partner was due to do it, got postponed just before covid, so the clowns at government have probably put paid to that,

We’ve left the club mate...and the issues are the same for the Eu dealing with the U.K...think of it as a new start or setting up a new business, a little bit frightening but exciting at the same time.....

Are you sure it's like setting up a new business mate? It looks more like we've taken an existing business from one site to another, and I'm struggling to see much upside to the new arrangements.

I see the trade deal has a review at four years to make sure the UK is "playing by the rules agreed in this deal and to see that the level playing field is still level".

The EU knows Johnson well, better than those who vote for him. Timed to be after the next UK General Election of course so he can tell one thing to his sycophants and then U-turn


And Is this the part where all Brexit say they always wanted a deal and that no deal was never going to happen?

As a labour party member im afraid johnson will probably get elected again. The alternative is starmier who lets face it isn't up to the job. The disaster of Jeremy set us back. With the boundary changes making it even harder. Throw in that a lot of working class areas especially white working class areas in the North feel that Labour hasn't done anything for them. Sad to see.

Any idea why we have cut the erasmus program? Bit of a disgrace that.

Cost too much according to Johnson.

He probably doesn’t want to be encouraging our lids to go off learning Europeanish ideas.

New scheme to be introduced so they can study in North Korea, Iraq and Chechnya.

Additional customers and easier to agree contracts without having 27 commercial and legal managers to agree them.....

European cooperation still continues;
In Dover today;
Paramedics from the fire and rescue service of the French département of Nord, carrying out covid tests on drivers, to help clear the log jam of trucks waiting to cross the Channel.
Like it!

Nice of them to sort out the mess that the French government created. Bet were paying for the covid tests though

Haha.

Ah ok, who are these additional customers that didn't exist 4 years ago then? And how much growth have we got with them over the last 4 years in terms of value of trade?

It cost 240m a year doesn't it? How much has he just wasted on fish? We've made all this money back and he can't spare 240m for that? What a disgrace!

 

[The binman chronicles]

On the outside looking in it sounds good, but the devil is in the detail. I take it seeing we haven't moved on any hardlines and they haven't, I presume we have sold NI to the EU.

We have only been ‘allowed‘ to sign people up since leaving. we have now rolled over the existing EU arranged deals and one with the EU itself. Total value approx £900Bn. The likes of Australia and India will probably happen in the New Year when we have finally left.....

44 percent of trade with the EU falling every year .......if we can now trade Worldwide on our terms .....if they sorted the level playing field is competitive all well & good plus save 19 billion per year .....

Just like Erasmus then....

But its not new customers is it? Its the same ones with different terms.
