In whose interest would it be not to have a FTA? Anything can be changed when there is the will. I never subscribe to the concept of "impossible". Not in business, not in life, not at all. All you are doing is taking what the EU says as gospel and gold plating it for all time. Even Tusk said that a FTA was negotiable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freggyragh Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 The U.K. isn’t just scratching for an deal with the EU you daft old loon. What about Canada? Japan? Korea? ASEAN? Australia? You think Fox, or Johnson or Sir Nigel of the Fraud are going to charm their way to ‘unfettered trade’? You need your fucking bumps felt mate. So far the UK has agreed "continuity" deals with 10 countries and regions. These are: Andean countries (signed 15 May) Norway and Iceland (2 April) Caribbean countries (22 March) Pacific Islands (14 March) Israel (18 February) Palestinian Authority (18 February) Switzerland (11 February) The Faroe Islands (1 February) Eastern and Southern Africa (31 January) Chile (30 January) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freggyragh Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 (edited) Anything less would be a total betrayal of the 5.2M that voted for brexit, 5M of whom thought they were voting for breakfast. Edited May 27, 2019 by Freggyragh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as a rabid brexiteer according to the lowbrow, in thrall to the owner's agenda UK right wing press, which is to say pretty much all of it, they need us more than we need them. So what could possibly need to be 'set up'....? Ahhh of course. All the concessions they'll be giving us! What a fool I feel..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who needs "concessions"? An FTA is just mutual interest. They buy from us. We buy from them. Who is going to get in the way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
