Nothing to do with screwing some more money out of us on the form of fines of course.

I sincerely hope so.

I suppose that they're so used to dictating to and threatening their member states that they are unable to do anything else.

I hope the rest of the world is watching. The EU are going to have no friends left, assuming that they still have any now!

Leave right now. No more payments for a 'transition period' which will achieve nothing. They will give nothing, but take our continued payments.

Instead of hoping to obtain some sort of equitable agreement with the EU at the end of 2020, which I am sure is not going to happen, we should be putting all our efforts into making trade agreements with the rest of the world.

It would also serve as a lesson to other EU states which are thinking again about their membership: the sooner you are out, the sooner you will benefit from your freedom.
You signed an agreement. Is the british word worthless?

Us? Cheat? Then answer me this, please. Why did the European hauliers, to a man/woman have 2 VERY high capacity (2000 lt +) fuel tanks fitted to their trucks for hauling stuff into and out of the UK without having to stop and refuel over here?

A lot of the lorries from the EU break our laws all the time and never get prosecuted.

Too many accidents are caused by EU plated trucks that are driven by p1ssed unqualified drivers from Poland, Spain, Portugal etc.

You've only got to watch the interceptor-type cop shows on C4 to see that - almost on a weekly basis. There was one the other week involving a well over the alcohol limit Polish driver, driving an Irish registered truck, stopped in a lay-by for a wee but couldn't stand up straight. He was reported by another driver.

Could it be your fuel is of lower quality and higher price? Just asking.
