Don't worry the economy is saved!

Well, I'm pleased (I think) for the people of Cote D'Ivoire, but what's the betting some tory businessman has "interests" there and need to be able to carry on stripping Africa's wealth? Do they have oil?

Word is the biggy with the Isle of Sheppey is set to be signed tomorrow.

Five'll get you ten he thought he was doing a deal with Ireland and didn't notice the flag was backwards and the weather was better than usual.

David Frost from the UK is 'disappointed'.
Excellent.

The afterlife not being all it's cracked up to be, hardly surprising.

Your sources are wrong. It's with Lundy.

Someone do a poll on who blinks first. I might even offer odds.

 

[TopCat]

But not right now as its unclear. I lean to no deal.

 

[Artaxerxes]

The fact that Boris is spending any time on this while a plague is starting to overtake the UK is shameful. His priorities are so in the wrong place. That's when he's working and not going missing for weeks.

The idea of taking the country into the unknown of full Brexit in the middle of a pandemic is just insane to me. Fuck it, give it another 12 months transition period, somethings are more important than Muh Sovereignity.

well, yes exactly - but this way they get to blame the post Brexit clusterfuck on the EU and Covid.

I reckon BJ swore on Thatcher's bones in front of Rupert Murdoch that he wouldn't extend for any reason.

Rockall.

He swore in front of the Tory party and packed the cabinet with brexit supporters. Going to be hard to still allow the French 84% of channel cod.

allow the French 84% of channel cod.

its a bit of a selective stat that one
From what i understand the channel is not as key a cod fishing area compared to more open northern waters, and the area around the channel isles is clearly closer to france. Percentages change per fish type and per area

I think what you're driving at is the volume rather than the ratios is the important thing

 

[Anju]

Probably best if we don't gain control of a bigger slice of the fish pie.

"Attempts to enshrine in law a commitment to keep fishing quotas within the sustainable limits advised by scientists failed, and an amendment aimed at banning supertrawlers from marine protected areas was also defeated by 331 votes to 197."

MPs reject attempts to strengthen post-Brexit fishing protections

What is?

What is?

Overfishing

 

[TopCat]

Overfishing

Overfishing isn't a brexit thing though. It's been going on for decades.

 

[not-bono-ever]

I have a niche and long standing beef about the decimation of stocks and attitudes if successive administrations towards it.maybe not directly brexit but... in other news , my auto correct wants to change Brexit to Brecht. Maybe it has had enough as well

 

[Flavour]

Overfishing isn't a brexit thing though. It's been going on for decades.

But allowing super-trawlers into protected areas, where they should be banned, is a Brexit thing. Cos it's against EU rules

 

[not-bono-ever]

Lol lol lol its a no deal last turn if the card time.

Boris Johnson tells UK: prepare for a no-deal Brexit

Prime minister says EU must change its approach to talks if deal to be reached

www.theguardian.com

Sounded pretty clear to me. I wonder what the French hear?

Nothing, because that's exactly what he said. Just the meaningless opposite of "If they don't compromise, we'll inevitably cave in".

 

[not-bono-ever]

ND is a scorched earth policy by the brits. economic carnage, whatever the views on brexit. the EU will face this down. time to lay some bets. happy 2021

I wonder if paddy power are offering odds.

For some inexplicable reason the supra state doesn't believe Johnson.
