After Brexit - am I stupid or what?

We could, pete, but neither the Government or UK Business sees the need to do that as the argument is, all along, why not keep the same rules/standards as it works now with exports and imports to and from the EU. There's no line of thought in changing standards except from the EU trying to make things harder to get a good deal for the UK.

Yes, of course, they did, pete, but you have to deal with one situation at a time and when the EU decides to present such threats and actions to the negotiating Team. If the Internal Trading Bill had been presented to Parliament earlier everyone, including the UK Public, would be criticising them and been up in arms about the UK Government acting before the EU issued the threats.
They can also foresee further threats being issued by the EU but can't show their hand until those predicted threats are issued. What you're seeing is the EU showing it's true nature by wanting to crush any opposition from any member of the EU what it would try to do should any other country want to leave. Some of the predicted threats are those that....

and would do great injury to the more powerful members, business wise, than the UK, and disagreement among those members with the EU could, possibly, see even more fracturing of the EU stability. The EU will change the rules even more as the deadline approaches but, as a Sovereign Country, we can take legislation action to counter that to some degree. With the EU it's all about Power but with France, Germany, Holland, etc their priority is, and has to be, their
economy, health of their Businesses and Money....and that works against the EU and it's desire, even now, to create a Federal State.

 

He's probably among the 77 Conservative MP's that voted for the Bill, clanless, despite the Media trying to infer that there was a lot of rebellion inside the Party. What opposition there was was mostly the old Establishment anti BREXIT leftovers in the Commons and the House of Lords.

 

Well, we're not at the end yet, clanless. There will be some less publicised, but interesting. legislation after the 31st December that will help disentangle the UK from EU legislation that was incorporated into it's legal system.

 

Gina Miller should be made a Dame I reckon - services to getting the UK in achieving a hard Brexit

 

BBC bias strikes again....

 

Well, if he had been a Prime Minister of any consequence he would be worth listening to, but like Major and Blair, he's part of the old Establishment that was almost cleared out when Boris moved in. Most of them are sitting in the Gravy Train of the House of Lords or have sought to put themselves forwards as people who's opinion should be listened and charging for it.

 

Fair comment, however the BBC presented that piece yesterday as him being one of four ex-PM's who were against the Internal Markets bill..... not quite the case going by the full clip though is it?

 

Pehaps not, FC, but again he misjudged the situation by giving way to the pressure to have a BREXIT Referendum thinking it would end in a final "NO" to leaving the EU which make him a Hero to the Establishment and then resigned when he realised his mistake so that he could join Major to watch Cricket.
