In all honesty I think his rant was unnecessary. I found it a bit childish and triumphalist.

He's made his/our point, several times over. Winding folk up now, prior to new negotiations isn't helpful neither.

I agree but surely Mcguiness should have allowed him to finish his speech and wish him all the best, unfortunately her bitterness didn’t allow her to do so.

Nigel having a flag waving rant in the EU parliament. Not allowed to wave flags apparently.

I didn't realise that the EU haven't actually ratified the withdrawal agreement yet; vote happening imminently.

No deal still on the cards?

Going going ......gone 🤭😊🇬🇧

 

Shall we get McFadden and Whitehead on ?

The core of the EU are still seething, they can try to dress it up and offer insincere platitudes.... it is so clear to see, fuck them, Farage wasn't 100% correct. 

You didn't see the interview with Mairead McGuiness did you?

She was critical of BBC and the media for not being in the European parliament enough: she said if they had been there more, brexit wouldn't have happened.

Unbefuckinglievable. 

I've heard some desperate reasoning but fuck me, truly off the scale.

Didn’t see it but it’s clear she’s one of the EU inner circle and very bitter that the U.K. has decided to walk away from the project,  she fears the end of the gravy train and loss of power, quite interesting to see the split in the EU between left and liberals who are all pro EU And anti Brexit and right leaning parties who are euro sceptic and in the main pro-Brexit and the U.K.

It's either stick  to the current rules, which makes all this freedom to do what we want bollocks, complete and utter bollocks

Or better still, as time goes by, adopt new European standards, which we have no influence on

I know mounts ain't the brightest, but I'm pretty sure he posted that as a UK triumph, when in reality it's owt but

I thought the Gvt want divergence, maybe I misheard that

I’m not saying we won’t move away and it’s in both sides interest to show flexibility. My point was currently we have the same standards so we aren’t adopting anything 

interesting how folk focus on that rather than the fact the eu are already talking about a free trade deal which according to some would never ever happen

If the UK diverge then how can there be a free trade deal, the two are not bed fellows? 

This is not an example of a free trade deal.... 

Whitehall sources have told The Daily Telegraph that while Mr Johnson wants to avoid tariffs and quotas on cross-Channel trade, he will never cave in to demands for alignment on regulations, despite knowing “the consequences that flow from that”.

It means Mr Johnson will tell businesses they might face extra paperwork and physical checks on goods crossing the border, a price he is willing to pay to avoid crossing his own “red lines”, which include the right to diverge on standards and regulations, full control of Britain’s fishing waters and the end of European judges’ influence in the UK.

We will follow rules on imports to the EU, that’s fine just as we will if we import to USA or any other trading partner. 

The article was posted to point out that the EU want zero tariffs, zero quotas,  we will be able to diverge when negotiating  trade deals with other countries, we’ve ended freedom of movement, returned sovereignty to our government, just as I said we would, while the self proclaimed intellectuals cry it can’t happen, we’re doomed, the common sense folk used just that to analyse what is likely to happen and have been proven correct from day one.


Still the likes of ST, Casino et al,  trot out utter bollocks to attempt to prove they were correct all along, get over it chaps we’re leaving you got called it wrong it happens,  we’re going to be just fine and dandy, the thickos made the correct call, who’d have thunk that.

You just don't get this divergence thing do you? You said there would be a free trade deal and there could well still be one. However Johnson has already back tracked on his pre election promise of a frictionless border so there will not be a free trade deal as you have long described. He has already back tracked on austerity promises... There's a pattern here... You were warned!

It’s not difficult to understand, I said tariff free trade deal would be agreed. (you said it wouldn’t) 

We should not be held to ransom by the EU rules and regulations it’s right and proper that we should have the option to diverge from EU rules in order to agree new trade deals, if that means some degree of checks on borders then so be it. No longer can the European Union interfere on the policy’s and direction we have set out as a country.

They now know that our government has the Parliamentary majority to get its way in parliament and a leader who makes his own judgement calls and will act decisively. 
 

I think the EU have realised that the landscape has changed dramatically and after some more bluff and bluster they will agree a sensible compromise deal with minimum disruption at borders so that trade and cooperation can continue as it always has.

The UK will not get a comprehensive trade deal if there is no regulatory alignment that is just a reality and not in dispute. That leaves a trade deal by sector which is not what we were promised. 

Just for the record, either you have such a selective memory so choose to read what suits your narrative or you're back to making stuff up again, I have not once said we wouldn't get a trade deal. What I have said is that trade deal we will eventually end up will be worse than we have today.

Give political forecasting up as a bad job fella, you keep carrying on with the same blinkered foresight, rather than opening your mind to common sense and what is most likely to happen.
