Try looking at things both ways. Then you will understand much more.We should never have had the referendum. We have now split the country virtually 50:50 and put the whole economy at risk for the next few years. And for what? Juncker? He’s leaving. Trade deals? The EU has got some big ones e.g. Canada and Japan. Control? Of our economy? Our biggest ally has started a trade war and won’t be giving any favours. Eastern European migrants? We need them. And that will become less as their countries catch up. Fish? We need the EU fish market to sell them.
We’re running out of time to present a workable position to the EU. It’s almost at a penalty shootout for Brexit now. Let’s hope we win the World Cup, we need the feel good feeling and some unity.
Which begs the question two cheeky girls or one cheeky girl and Lembit Opic? I hope for Marts sake it was the former.Cheeky girls?
As a leave voter who has subsequently realised how entwined with the EU our trade is, it's clear to me that there is no other option than a soft Brexit which means hopefully EEA.
Boris gone now!
The good news for May is that she now apparently holds the record for most cabinet resignations in 9 months.Boris gone now!
Finally some politicians with balls. Could of easily just stayed on keeping quiet.
But he did keep quiet for as long as he thought he could, just like he did before the referendum.
Boris gone now!
The good news for May is that she now apparently holds the record for most cabinet resignations in 9 months.
Michael Fallon, Priti Patel, Damian Green, James Brokenshire, Justin Greening, Amber Rudd, David Davis and now Boris.
Strong and stable!
Just hope he never gets back. With any luck he will start a leadership contest and May will be out and some dark horse takes over.
Who holds the record for shadow cabinet resignations, I'll give you a clue the initials are JC.
It’s easy to criticize. He didn’t have to resign now
He did if he wanted to keep his leadership hopes alive. Pure opportunism.
Try looking at things both ways. Then you will understand much more.
So we need the market to sell the fish? 60% of fish sold in the EU is caught in our water. But we don't catch that 60%. Other countries are allowed to catch more in our water than we are. It would be the EU that would suffer the most. And our stocks would go up as the fish wouldn't be caught. And all the fish we consume would be caught by our own fishermen.
I don’t agree. Yes he wants to be PM. But what is he meant to do if he really disagrees in the Chequers deal? Just stay on and get paid the wage. He can’t win.
David Davis resigned does he want to be PM as well? Of course not. It was a principalled decision.
BoJo let Davis Jump first and set the ball rolling. He then joined in later so he couldn’t be blamed when May‘s government collapses. BoJo has no principles. It’s all going to plan for him.
As a leave voter who has subsequently realised how entwined with the EU our trade is, it's clear to me that there is no other option than a soft Brexit which means hopefully EEA.
What’s his plan then?
Why is that?We need to cooperate with people bordering on our waters and buying our fish. There is no alternative.
Becoming PM
Becoming PM
Why is that?
They are our waters. They emptied their own. Why should we be able to let them keep emptying ours?
Comments like this show you are more interested in the EU than the UK.
will never happen
So explain yourself. This will be fun.Comments like yours show lack of comprehension.
Boris gone now!
I read an article about a year ago by the excellent Peter Hitchens which as time has gone by has become more compelling by the day. The EEA (Norway) option would appear to give us control of our destiny whilst delivering on the most important Brexit points and give businesses the reassurance they need regarding continued frictionless trade with the EU.
"By choosing instead to stay in the European Economic Area (EEA), we can leave the EU, make our own trade deals with non-EU countries, but stay in the single market. This (not the quite different Customs Union) is what allows us to have friction-free trade through the Channel Tunnel and across the Irish border. And no, it doesn't force us to accept 'free movement'.
EEA members are allowed to activate Article 112 of the EEA agreement, the so-called 'emergency brake'. Under this rule, tiny Liechtenstein has effectively managed to suspend 'freedom of movement' indefinitely, and operate its own quota system.
This is a precedent which Britain, with far more clout, can and should follow. The window is open"

The entire agreement is going to be fudge all the way through, always was going to be so. Politicians never do anything else.
