BREXIT - Is This Really Still Rumbling On? 😴

So the EU wants to support Spain in applying what amounts to economic sanctions in its bid to subjugate a territory contrary to inhabitants wishes? All in the name of EU unity.
Nothing to get in the way of the project, no?0 -

It's certainly a quick start to the difficult road ahead to separation. The EU can't look a walkover if they want to remain a peaceful union. It will be interesting to see how this develops with regards the views of Gibraltar's population and the trade pressure the EU are prepared to apply.0

In simple terms Gibraltar want a deal similar to N.I.
Will they get it?The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

It's likely Gibraltar would choose an economic siege over over any involvement from Spain in the future.focuszing723 said:EU backing Spain's claim to Gibraltar in the next phase of negotiations with Brexit.
Boris Johnson will be presented with the choice of reaching agreement with the Spaniards about Gibraltar’s future or exposing its citizens to economic peril by pushing it outside any EU-UK trade deal.

The remoaners are not going to like this
An Italian university is opening a campus in the UK for around 250 students, the majority of which will be Italian or French.
If we were only listening to the remoaners this would never happen as there is not a chance that the UK was going to get foreign investment following Brexit.
More evidence that Project Fear that remoaners were pushing is laughable.0 -

Still at least I can afford it - maybe not the same to be said for those who holiday in Benidorm.
No VISA. European travel authorisation, costs €7 and valid for 3 years. Not exactly onerous.

On the other hand, good to see Boris playing hardball with the Eurocrats from the start.

Well done that man. Pity it took you so long, mindrick_chasey said:Tangential - after knowing someone who was behind research of a Guardian front page story a few weeks ago who said quite plainly that the Guardian was 180 degrees wrong, I’ve stopped reading it entirely.
They flipped the conclusion properly the wrong way.
Which article was it?"I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0 -
The regular refs to Etonians, toffs etc. The occasional mention of wanting to kill Fox hunters. The mask slips regularly enoughorraloon said:Prove it, serial contrarian boy. Let me think... oh yeah... I refer you to my post(s) above.

Same for any country exporting to any other country. So no real change. However we won't get nearly as much of others having a say in our domestic affairs. Which seemed to be a vote winner back in 2016.Jeremy.89 said:

We may well lose more red tape than we gain over time, such is the nature of the EU.rick_chasey said:
You know exactly what I meant.Stevo_666 said:
The EU already uses it for 62 countries.rick_chasey said:Funny how for a decade the complaint was the EU generated too much red tape and bureaucracy.
My prediction would also be that much of this red tape is replaced rather than removed, although maybe to honour old Theresa it'll be renamed red, white and blue tape."I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0 -

What is the chance of explaining the proportion and scale of the higher education sector? And that is before we get to the complicated stuff

We do similar things all the time to deal with the many other things that change over time and/or are uncertain."I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0 -
Not knocking what you do, it's just a waste in the same way that what I'll probably have to do late this year is, in December when every company has to change/test systems at the operational/accounting level because they don't know what's coming until the last possible month. Happy Christmas everyone.0

Interesting development from Nissan in the FT.
They seem to have a plan to move production to the UK if there are tariffs on cars, essentially gambling they can grab a huge chunk of the UK market share (from 4% to 20%)
Ill try to post a link when I'm on my desktop.
Im sure there's a bit more to it than I've described
