Victorian Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Thatcher famously was a real thorn in the side of the EU. Won concessions in the way of the rebate and was a tough negotiator. I doubt that the EU as an institution has forgotten or would be tolerant of a repeat performance. To that end it may have been a severe handicap to negotiations for them to conducted by Thatcher Mk2. Thatcher Lite. Shan Maggie. It's a bit not liking Elvis and being forced to sit through a full set by the worst holiday camp cabaret Elvis Impersonator in the world.

Thunderstruck Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 16 hours ago, Ulysses said: Er, if you want to maintain the pretence of having facts to support your argument, don't swipe at another poster based on where they come from, don't make up stuff about what another poster has posted, and above all else don't go full conspiracy theorist. You never go full conspiracy theorist. If you want to open a thread to discuss your feelings about TTIP and stuff like that you go right ahead, and I might even contribute. On this thread I'm going to do my best to stick to Brexit and its associated negotiations. Er, if you want to accuse another poster of being a ‘conspiracy theorist’, try not to make yourself look foolish by neglecting to carry out even a cursory bit of research of your own. Such research might have shown the serious concerns raised by, for example and in your own country, the Irish Senate, Irish opposition parties, Irish Farmers and Irish Trades Unions. What would they know, eh? Maybe they also are conspiracy theorists. The bottom line is that, on both sides of the Atlantic, there are serious concerns about this “mixed” (extending beyond simply Trade) Agreement. To trivialise these concerns by cheap shots is beneath you. In fact, I’m not sure if you confirmed Ireland’s current position on CETA. Has it moved beyond Provisional Adoption or has the considerable internal opposition (surely they can’t all be conspiracy theorists) stymied any progress? This is about Brexit which, as I’m sure you know, was about ‘taking back control’. Hopefully, Brexit will be a catalyst for changing the powers of the EU’s unelected elite; the process around CETA has hardly exemplified openness and honesty. If Brexit really is your concern, one might have thought that getting a transitional deal in place might be a priority if Veradkar had any concern for Irish business and agriculture. Constructive dialogue might, therefore, have been more useful that his Davos comments about having an Army (whose army?) on the Border. I’m sure you have been equally scathing of his antics. As for Ireland as a Tax Haven, I think I have every right to call out anyone who wishes to criticise the UK for greed and stupidity while living in a country enriched by welcoming the tax-avoiding activities of the likes of Apple and Microsoft. These and similar corporations have managed to “offshore” untaxed reserves of $1trillion over the 4 years to 2018; that’s the basis for a helluva lot of tax. And, yes, I know, it’s all Britain’s fault - we had a referendum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulysses Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 RTÉ News suggested last night that the PM had constructive discussions with the EU.

Cade Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 PM says "Talks are going fine" Junker says "Brexit is deconstruction, it is not construction. Brexit is the past, it is not the future. We are trying to deliver our best efforts in order to have this Brexit being organised in a proper, civilised, well-thought-out way. But we are not there, because in the British parliament there is, every time they are voting, a majority against something, there is never a majority in favour of something. If a no-deal would happen – and I can’t exclude this – this would have terrible economic and social consequences, both in Britain and on the continent, and so my efforts orient in a way that the worst can be avoided. But I am not very optimistic when it comes to this issue." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought it was all meant to be easy and they were virtually lining up? ”But so far the Department of International Trade has only been able to finalise "continuity agreements" with seven of the 69 countries and regions with which the EU has trade deals. These include Switzerland, Chile, the Faroe Islands, Eastern and Southern Africa, Israel and the Palestinian Authority.” So... 10%. Its nice to see we’ve focussed on the priorities like the Faroes and Palestine. I’m sure the country was sick with worry at the thought of tariffs on aid shipments to Palestine..

RobboM Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Matthew Parris writing in The Times on Friday in an article entitled "Theresa May s the Death Star of British Politics". Jeez this is grim! "Time and again I’ve protested that she may not be the answer but she didn’t create this mess: she’s just an unimaginative, unremarkable, perhaps wooden but dogged politician, overly cautious and rather shy. Time and again my informants — MPs, former MPs, civil servants, special advisers — tell me, eyes flashing, that I’ve got it wrong and the public have it wrong, and she’s so much worse than that. She’s not normal. She’s extraordinary. Extraordinarily uncommunicative; extraordinarily rude in the way she blanks people, ideas and arguments. To my surprise there is no difference between the pictures of her that Remainers and Brexiteers paint. Theresa May, they tell me (in a couple of cases actually shouting) is the Death Star of modern British politics. She’s the theory of anti-matter, made flesh. She’s a political black hole because nothing, not even light, can escape. Ideas, beliefs, suggestions, objections, inquiries, proposals, projects, loyalties, affections, trust, whole careers, real men and women, are sucked into the awful void that is Downing Street — and nothing ever comes out: no answers, only a blank so blank that it screams. Reputations (they lament) are staked on her, and lost. Warnings are delivered to her, and ignored. Plans are run by her, unacknowledged. Messages are sent to her, unanswered. She has become the unperson of Downing Street: the living embodiment of the closed door." What strikes me too is that so many of the criticisms can be levelled at Jeremy Corbyn too and I voted for him! He's lacked leadership, been posted missing and left the debate open to the wings of the Tory party. Instead of Rees Mogg on the telly every day it should be Corbyn, hammering the government's sheer incompetence and putting forward an alternative Brexit which he should promise to put before the electorate. Bunch of fannys the lot of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what amazes me. The EU and the UK negotiators agreed a transition deal however any deal had to be sanctioned by the the UK Parliament. It wasn’t and in my way of thinking the deal was never really a deal at all. As the two main party’s, the EU and the UK had to agree the deal and they didn’t.

Ulysses Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Speaking at the LAS-EU summit in Sharm El-Sheikh, Leo Varadkar has again ruled out any changes to the Withdrawal Agreement. https://www.rte.ie/news/2019/0224/1032455-varadkar-arab-league-eu/ "The Withdrawal Agreement, including the Irish Protocol and the backstop, are not up for renegotiation." "We’re happy to discuss with the United Kingdom assurances that they may need to give them further confident that the backstop, if ever applied, will not be permanent. It will only apply unless and until something supersedes it." So we’re happy to talk to them about mechanisms to give them that reassurance, which some of them need. However, we can’t agree to something that would contradict the legal reality or the spirit behind what is already agreed." "The March 29 deadline is self-imposed, nobody in Ireland or the EU is threatening no deal. This is a situation the United Kingdom has created for itself." "A backstop that includes a time limit is not a backstop at all. Nor would a unilateral exit clause work for us." "The whole point of the backstop is to give us an assurance that we won’t see the emergence of a hard border between Northern Ireland and Ireland as a consequence of Brexit."

To be honest I’ve never bothered following it over the years but from the recent reports they have in instances. I remember one where (not specifically) where there went into the wee small hours to thrash out a deal. I’m sure there are others. Put it this way if push comes to shove I’m sure that despite the collective rhetoric a deal will be reach. It may even be that the UK Parliament bites the bullet and accepts the Back Stop. It it suits me fine if the plug was pulled and we stayed in. I’m here in Tenerife for six weeks and booked another four weeks in September, despite the uncertainty, enjoying the freedom that being in the EU gives me.
