There is always the Turkish part of Cyprus - it's great for money laundering (so I hear).

Trust a farmer to know where to take his cash!

Will the Spanish still like us to buy/rent homes and go on holidays within their borders, and spend our money after 1/1/20? or will they just carry on siphoning Russian Oligarchy stolen funds in our place?

They never did like us and don't now. They just like our cash and to exploit us.

If you look at the things Boris is holding firm on I totally understand why we are heading towards a no deal. The BBC always quotes the Fishing Rights, but thats just a minor part of it and they quote it because it makes the whole refusal thing sound rediculous, which suits their anti Brexit agenda. But many of the items we are not getting, non EU countries get already! Like Canada free trade and the Japanese Bi-Lateral trade deal!

Still trying to extend the negotiations I see. What can they resolve in the next couple of days that they haven’t managed in the past 4 1/2 years?

Also if no deal by 31.12.20, then we can probably kiss goodbye to any hope of a free trade deal for at least a generation. Why would the EU consider re-opening negotiations when we’re fully out, having failed to achieve a deal during the past 4 1/2 years? I am sure there will be no appetite to start again.

[PaulCP]

Labour being as constructive as they normally are and calling for Boris to secure a deal.

Well Starmer and your army of frontbencher thicko’s, are you prepared to accept what is currently on offer? Why don’t our useless media ask them the question rather than merely reporting their demands 😠

[Chillidoggy]

We’ve heard all the media reports about how all life as we know it will end in the U.K. come 1st January, but nothing much about the likely effects on the other EU member states.

I did see a piece today about French fisherman moaning that post-Brexit, the Dutch are likely to be taking all ‘their’ fish, though.

Oh, and one from ‘The Independent’ (rampant left-wingers, and anything but independent) about how Brits would effectively be banned from holidaying in the EU. After reading it, it turned out to be the usual load of Independent bollocks, however it made me wonder whether the leisure industry the EU member states that benefit from British tourism would be supportive of such a move. Especially the likes of Spain, and France, who would be on course to lose a packet.

Why ? Because some smaller EU countries will put pressure on them.

If it was up to starmer he would sell us down the river and later blame Boris

Which Macron will ignore because he's up for reelection soon & nothing matters more to him than retaining power & if the likes of Ireland is screwed? So what 😃

As for Starmer, he'll sit on the fence until the dust settles then pick over the bones & wait for his chance to give everything away & open the floodgates to immigrants & refugees.

[pete]

Yes macron is trying to impress the French electorate and has until 2022 to succeeed However he is vastly unpopular in France particularly in the south where they call him a Rothschild puppet.

Latest opinion pols there have nearly 65% not approving of him. He has just announced that the EU should increase the pressure on UK as we are close to giving in.( must be listening to Starker)

The fact that many Labour MPs supported the cancellation of deportation flights for non-UK citizens who are rapists and murderers, and the fact Starmer didnt say a word is genuinely scary.

Starmer (Labour's Brexit strategist) put the referendum loosers (no slight intended) in this position by positioning Labour to repeatedly reject May's much much softer deal, in an attempt to undermine Brexit.   Hopefully his supporters will hold him to account for this strategy failure.

definitely a serious and continuing breach of the Trade Descriptions Act

[Barrykearley]

Shhh..... don’t tell anyone. It’s more important we create fear and an environment where folks judge their neighbours and grass them up for minor issues. It’s all a bit late 1930s Germanic for my liking

This really shows just how deluded French politicians are at times. Totally not necessary and not going to help anything in the slightest. Makes me just wanna respond with "yeah, right, whatever, foxtrot oscar off and we'll speak about in 6 months when your car, cheese, wine and financial services are jumping off a cliff into the abyss".

Fair play - they do like to spout utter pishe.  Yep - bring it on - we will see.

[C8RKH]

I am absolutely sick and tired of French Politicians, their bullshit, their strutting, and the fact they steal oxygen from every other useful living thing.

No issue with the French people, just their f@@king politicans that lick the arses of the old aristocracy...
