| Quote: The Ghost of '99 "Yes we do. So we just apply the same tariffs as we do on Chinese imports to European ones. Simple! Until you realise what that actually means!
Yes, anyone who isn't fed by a drip of right wing propaganda knows they have. There are a bunch on off the shelf solutions, Norway, Switzerland, even Canada etc, so we've seen what sort of things we can achieve given what the EU countries will accept. They've actually offered movement in quite a few areas that would be better than these.
But the British continue to demand things which simply can't be offered. That's not a failing to be constructive, it's just fact as to what the community's red lines are and what will be vetoed by any particular country. And the interests of the Republic of Ireland are given an outsize importance given how things will impact them.
But yes, obviously they hold the whip hand in these negotiations so any deal we get isn't exactly going to be particularly favourable given the relative power dynamics. Like us they are looking after their own interests first. But this has been made clear all along and shouldn't come as some surprise to you.'"
On radio 4 they had the German guy who acts as a go between and he stated that none of these deals Norway, Canada etc. can be adapted for the UK due to our proximity to the EU and our 40 years of involvement - so it would have to be a bespoke arrangement. So these off the shelf deals never existed in reality.
As you said both parties are trying to look out for themselves and it should come as no surprise to you that we haven't simply rolled over and let the EU tell us how its going to be. The EU cannot expect us to be a Norway - worse as they have quotas in their waters which the EU claim to be far too complicated to administer in our waters. They expect us to adhere to the ECJ, they want a say in state aid - when Germany just does what it wants when it comes to bailing out failing industries e.g. Lufthansa - so it isn't just the UK that is asking for things that simply can't be offered?

| Just on state aid, it's a bit tiresome but Tories really do need to learn the difference between their governments ideologically refusing to help uk industries with it being disallowed under EU state aid rules. Another vast bundle of misinformation lies behind some of the stuff they come out with in this area when it's in reality been their own government stiffing them all along.

So are you saying the Lufthansa bail out was within EU state aid rules?

The thing is, even if they decided a new voice might help, they’d still need to fundamentally change their position. Barnier isn’t just making it up - he’s got clear guidance on his remit.
The problem is that the U.K. wants things that undermine the principles that hold the EU together. Their concerns about that are just as pressing as brexiteer concerns about complete, unequivocal, unshared sovereignty for the U.K.
So there’s no landing zone for a meaningful deal, and we need to prepare for the consequences of that. And the opportunities, as well - which will be quicker and easier, at least.

| Quote: Mild Rover "Apparently.
There isn't some great conspiracy out there - the UK's right wing governments don't believe in central support of business and more than once have tried to conflate that ideological position with "EU rules" when it has been nothing of the sort. They've pulled the same lying trick on a massive number of things, from the trivial (straight bananas) on up.

Absolutely agree with the above - we were always heading for no deal - there is no other logical outcome - including some restrictions in Eire otherwise its Hotel California.

While I agree there is no other logical outcome, I'd go one step further - there is no logical outcome.
Every course of action creates an insoluble problem that a majority of the UK population doesn't want to deal with.
I mean tautologous circular statements like 'Brexit means Brexit' and a Minister announcing that the government intends to act illegally but in a 'specific and limited way' has to indicate that we're an absurdist computer-simulated exhibition being run in base reality... or what [ithey think[/i is base reality.

Just what will "no deal" do to the border between north and south in Ireland.
Would we still need a seperate border in the North Sea as we have in the current proposal or, are we back to bombs and bullets AND trashing the Good Friday Agreement
Just where are all the clever "leavers" who promised an easy exit, including Boris "oven ready" Johnson, who's current cabinet ministers are saying that they were "rushed" into a deal ?
Just who was rushing them ?

| They rushed it through to avoid scutiny, now they moan there wasn't time to scrutinise it properly due to the speed at which it was rushed through.

No to mention the "get Brexit done" and "oven ready deal" nonsense.
4 years, 3 Tory PM's and still the same crock of poop, with the very same unsolved problems.
How the hell didn't Labour beat this lot Mr Corbyn ??

The problem is you're thinking there is a world free of interference where we can do what we want with no foreign judges under WTO rules

Unlike you I think there is a world beyond the EU - there are far more countries successfully trading with each other on these terms than the 27 in the EU trading block and it includes the 3 biggest plus another 3 in the ten biggest economies in the world.
You must stay awake at night with all your fingers crossed that we will go crawling back to the EU - you are a very sad individual indeed
