Also a good bit of teamwork between UK and Germany to thwart France. So much for European solidarity
One off extension to 2027, which sounds like a pragmatic move in the interests of both sides. Sounds like nobody is ready. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-67634706
This surely is nonsense though: "the European Commission said it would add a clause to the Brexit trade deal making it "legally impossible" for the extension to last any longer. This, it said, would lock in its rules of origin from 2027."0 -
The main issue is that all parties have said they are not ready for quite some time, but it has taken the commission a long time to act. I know this is the usual autarky play.kingstongraham said:

The poblem might be that other trade deals have a clause in that offers a free upgrade to match any btter terms offered in another deal.kingstongraham said:

They might have battery generating capability by then, but they probably won't have enough, so they'll probably assume it is a flexible date.kingstongraham said:

If it's not obvious, anything rubbish for the foreseeable will be pinned on Brexit wherever possible and Brexiters will have to get used to defending that constantly. That is their reward.0

Hard cheese. It's all Canada's fault.

Coincidentally, I have recently ordered some cheese from a Canadian cheese shop (to be delivered to my brother in Canada) and there were lots of European imports available but no UK imports. Which is a shame as British cheese is excellent.

I guess that'd be because the EU did a trade deal with Canada. Apparently we used to be a member of the EU, but decided we'd getter better deals by leaving. And I agree, there are many superb UK cheeses.

Breaking news: those pesky EU people aren't including the UK in their EU plans. Don't they know who we are?
I suppose it's no news that the EU are still to blame for everything. Not the Tories, not Brexit. Obvs.

But that will be a European army where “our boys’ don’t have to take part and get ordered around by foreigners so all OK.

Just a reminder of what we were 'promised'. I probably shouldn't, not least as the cartoons from various nations in the thread are still so grimly spot on.

Costly mistake by the EU:
Quote:
The EU’s lease on 30 Churchill Place expires in June 2039, with the EU still on the hook for £373 million in rent and other charges if a longer-term solution isn’t found.
Frank Furedi, the executive director of think-tank MCC Brussels, said: “EU taxpayer’s are on the hook for millions of Euros because of bad decisions by EU agencies.
“We are still paying for the incompetence of the EMA not negotiating an exit clause of their expensive London property.
“There was no need to rush forward to move the European Medicines Agency from London after Brexit, but because of that arrogant decision by the EU, millions will be wasted.”

Good job the UK never screws up on any contracts. It would be terrible if we wasted billions on abortive high-speed rail plans, or wasted PPE, or test & trace. Or £1.2bn on a barge. No, that'd be awful.

Nice whataboutery, but I suppose it shows that the EU is not that different from this allegedly terrible place where we live.

Lol what is the telegraph doing quoting the "think tank" that Victor Orban set up?
MCC Brussels — an arm of the Mathias Corvinus Collegium (MCC), a Budapest-based college that has controversially received billions of forints from Orbán’s government — plans to “provide an alternative” for Europe’s “polarized cultural landscape,” according to one of its founders.
The center — backed by Hungary’s right-wing, EU-confrontational government — will shake up a think tank ecosystem in Brussels currently dominated by largely homogeneous, pro-European thought.

Maybe it is whataboutery, but it also shows the scale of the incompetence the UK can manage by itself. Of course all governments make financial blunders. The EU one you mention is about the same as the Rwanda scheme, but I guess you'll not be highlighting that either.

"The impact assessment for the scheme says a theoretical cost for sending 1,000 migrants to Rwanda could be £169m – or £169,000 a person – in contrast to the £106m it would cost to accommodate them in the UK.
Of the £290m allocated to Rwanda so far, only £20m has gone towards set-up costs of the deportation scheme, with the other £270m for “economic transformation” such as education, healthcare, agriculture, infrastructure and job creation in the African country."
£169m to £290m, and rising. Guess education, healthcare, agriculture, infrastructure and job creation is not important here.
Wrong thread for this discussion though.

Look on the bright side, now that we've left the EU, we aren't on the hook for the £373m that could have largely been avoided if they had bothered to negotiate a decent exit clause 🙂
