Brexit - am I stupid or what?

I have no issue with us making our goods compliant with their market's standards etc - that is common sense, and happens outwith the EU all the time; lets take something like a Bose product that is made in the US - when they want to sell it here, it has to be modified to work on our electrical system and meet our safety standards; we don't require them to be held to all sorts of other sideline agreements before we let them sell their products here.

As Iain Duncan Smith quite succinctly put it today - I voted out, not half out, and that is my issue. The unelected bureaucrats in the EU want us to keep jumping through the various hoops that we have to do now, only this time we won't get any say at all in the rules and regulations that are governing the majority of what we do.

As for all the fear-mongering about jobs etc. - if the EU want to get really silly about it all, and stop companies based in the UK from trading in the EU, then we should simply stop them from selling their rubbish here - starting with the German car makers who have been extracting the urine for years and years.

And for them to say that this is 'just a starting point' and that it will have to be discussed and negotiated with representatives of the EU.......... I call bullpoo on that one, as they have been too-ing and fro-ing for months now.

I say we call their bluff and tell them where to shove it, and then we can wait and see how long it is until they blink - and it won't be long as they will be bleeding cash from every orofice if they are suddenly not selling to the UK market.

 

Well, it' not often that I agree with the Germans and their politics, but they had a German MP on the BBC today giving his view on the BREXIT negotiations. His opinion was that the EU Commission had been arrogant from the start and were cutting off their nose to spite their face, I couldn't have agreed more. He also pointed out that when the UK leaves the EU we will be their biggest customer in trade........and that there's power in that thought.

 

Well, she was supreme in the Supremes, KFF. She had a No.1 hit with "Do you know where you're going to?", a top 5 international hit "I'm coming out", hits like "You've got me hanging on", "Ain't no mountain high enough", made a film called "Out of Darkness"...........what more do you want

 

I just thought it was mixing things up with the Three Degrees!

Diana is a very nice lady We had lunch at her place once.

 

I did tell you, longk, not to vote for Trump. But, No, you said Trump was like a brother to you and spoke directly on the phone with " Big G"........you're so fickle, longk.

 

@longk Do I gather from what you said that you don't seem to like any of them? Or is that your terms of endearment?
