And like some others, I too am out.
I do hope the world can stabilise .. and 'me' for that matter.
Like 'person of year' I'm 'done', lest I too hasten 'orrible things.
My parting words .. 'sorry for the inconvience'.
AC out.

If you are of the far left (a Corbynista) then everyone else looks like the far right to you.
In the real world, Boris is in the centre of British politics where most sane people reside.
The far right is reserved for Nazis, Franco, Le Penn, Mussolini and various weirdos of the Alt right in the US etc.

Conversely, if you are of the far right then everyone else looks like a Bolchevik to you. It's a matter of POV.DaveP said:
It's hard for me to consider BJ as sane. Clever, no doubt, persistent, indeed, but I think that the necessary does of egomania and bravado required for entering a carrier in politics is excessive in him.
I never suggested BJ was far right, at least not anymore than Mrs. T.
Thanks for the gratuitous slur...DaveP said:
Good luck sorting this out, and good luck to the EU that will be under increased pressure from other members if they give the UK too good of a trade deal.

About a month ago, one pundit presented a good argument for why it is impossible for politicians NOT to reach an agreement. At the time I thought no deal was the most likely scenario but it seems he was right.Script said:
The text of the agreement is said to be
Edit: Just read the government has published a 34 page summary on its web site. Christmas reading? Not likely!

It is logical for Brussels to negotiate an unfavorable deal with the UK, so other community members don't decide to follow suit, but it impossible to imagine a future without significant economic trade between them in the future.
Here is hoping for a WIN-WIN, or at least a WIN-win, not a WIN-lose.
Good luck...

The great irony is Irelands fishing grounds are also worth billions and we scarcely have the navy to police ,the fishing fleet or the quota's to be able to take advantage of our vast oceans anymore.
The EU rape of our fishing grounds put tarmac under rubber here , the sea is a never ending supply of food if correctly marshaled , the EU payed us not to fish it.
If your an island nation in the midst of a covid storm the ocean is your bread basket , self suffienciency
is key , an independent food supply in each coastal town makes huge sense

Maybe you guys should join us outside the EU? I am sure our navy would be happy to patrol your waters in exchange for some cod. ;DTubetec said:

I haven't been following this with as much interest as you guys. In a newspaper report today they mentioned one of the sticking points was negotiating the fractional share for fishing catch, but approaching agreement.ruffrecords said:
Good luck, i remain optimistic but thats just me.

Yes, agreement has been reached on all points. This needs to be ratified by Parliament and the EU members but that should be a formality.
Nobody got exactly what they wanted but the compromises reached are not unreasonable IMHO. It is historic because it is the first quota and tariff free trade agreement signed by the EU with a country outside the EU.

Focus in the deal is clearly on goods and manufacturing industries. Services and financial industries are still a bit unclear from what I understod.
Other than that congratulations to the UK on the choice of Alan Turing as the name of the new student exchange programme (replacing UK participation in Erasmus).
