Actually now you mention it I actually do two things right handed. Now that really is TMI.

No deal will be a disaster for this country, both in the literal sense of the word and in future negotiations. It will seriously weaken our hand in negotiations. The simple fact is we have one set of shoulders to carry the burden of no deal and the EU has 27.

I’m right handed but only write right handed, do everything else left handed. I’d say I’m right footed but my football playing skills would leave you to think I had two left feet. Coincidentally Mrs Skybluetony176 is left handed but does everything bar write right handed. We were made for each...

It’s already divided into two. We’ve put a border in the Irish Sea and handed over more sovereignty to the EU in Northern Ireland than the rest of the U.K. will have gained from the EU.

Not sure how addressing someone by their real name rather than their made up name can be described as childish. I stopped calling my mates by the made names we called each other at school around the time I reached adulthood. Pretty standard behaviour in the adult world.

I’m just amazed Stephen Yaxley-Lennon hasn’t uncovered this in his investigations.

Same here. I actually argued the opposite and cited CAP as my main peeve with the EU.

Yep. Which coincidentally is also the reason we kept blocking an EU/India trade deal when we had a say.

Straight talk from an Aussie Everything I’ve read says India does see Brexit as an opportunity. An opportunity to finally get the FTA with the EU over the line that we kept voting against. I don’t think they’re in a rush to get one done with the U.K..

This is pretty stupid https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/m.huffingtonpost.co.uk/amp/entry/greenwich-schools-stay-open-gavin-williamson_uk_5fd898f6c5b62f31c200387a/ Should have closed all schools a week early anyway once they decided to allow mixing over Xmas. At least let the incubation period get...

Even then there’s a split in the party. He has the Brexit cult saying unless it’s a no deal Boris’ position is untenable and he also has MP’s now coming forward, holding him to his election pledges and saying if he doesn’t get a deal his position is untenable. Basically his lies and duplicity...

It ain’t going to please anyone in the leave side. Nothing about the campaign is deliverable.

So when was this “few years”?

Because they hold all the cards.

There is the other issue with Brexit and fishing. The U.K. is obliged by international law to negotiate access and conservation of It’s fishing stock with it’s neighbouring countries. So even a hard Brexit isn’t going to make this issue go away. Better to use it as leverage in a friendly trade...

Oh, and the reason so much of the British quota is in foreign hands is because the U.K. sovereign government sold it to them. Another reason why fishing is such a brexit red herring.

It’s still based on science to avoid overfishing. Cod (amongst other spices) almost went extinct so the science had to be followed regardless of who the quota belongs too. We’re basically following a model adopted from the Norwegians who’s costal fishing stock was thriving while all around was...

We import more fish from Iceland than we do any individual EU country and almost as much we do from the EU in total. How would you even go about deciding what was caught in British waters as opposed to other EU waters? Fish don’t have passports.

The quotas are following science to avoid overfishing. That isn’t going to change next year. The problem for British fishermen will be access to market in a no deal. We export something like 70% of what we catch in both ours and EU waters into the EU.
