So far, the impression I get is that the EU leaders still live under the belief that we are small enough to be bossed around. They are likely to keep on dictating to us in the belief that they can call all the shots.

I see the rest of this year as a waste of both our time and our money. I'm afraid it won't happen, but we should just tell them, "OK, if a year isn't enough time for you to come to some agreement, we'll walk away now and leave you to it."

No more payments, no need for any more discussion. We'll just trade with the world under WTO rules.

It's simple: we, as customers, will buy what we want from whoever will sell us it at the cheapest, or at least the best and most acceptable cost.

I think I am probably like most people: I don't like being dictated to.

Meanwhile nothing has changed.


We are still in the Single Market
Still under the control of the EU and ECJ


All that has happened is we have agreed to enter into a period of negoitiation for a proper WIthdrawal Deal.

But we have seen that for 3 years the EU has refused to offer us any real Withdrawal Deal so we would be very naive to think they will now.

WHat we will all see in the next 12 months is a total betrayal by the current parliament (whom we have voted in for 5 years with a huge majority).

They will now cede everything to the EU and deliver BRINO, BrExit In Name Only.

All we will have is a pretend exit from the EU for a few years and then they will formally being us back in again as if nothing had ever happened.

A very long way to go yet. The real battle has only just begun.

BrExiteers can not afford to sit back and think it's "job done"

It very much is not.

Remainers and corrupt politicians will continue to thwart the process will the same vigour as before. Don't be duped by media BS conditioning.

Boris Johnson will be scrutinised like no other PM, the voters have the bit between their teeth. Flaws in his deal which could leave UK out but in, is what Brexit Party are going to concentrate on, we cannot be left perpetually under the EU’s control.

Re: We're free at last

Hi

The Withdrawal Agreement has been signed, so that is that.

There is no "we" any,more.

Vast amounts of our Industry are controlled by Foreign Firms, who will do whatever they see fit for the benefit of their shareholders.

We have a lot to do in a short time.

We need to get on with it.

Re: We're free at last

It should be clear by now to PM that he has toughen up, the public expects, if negotiations stall in the following months then walk away. Let UK take a chance, on trading with the rest of the world, outside of the EU trade bubble.

Hi

We will still be reliant upon the EU for many things for many years.

Car Parts is a good example, machinery parts, etc etc.

Trouble is Realspeed, it's not the working man and woman we need to persecute for the bullying of the EU.
We need to keep them onside and help and support them where we can.....

If the EU prevents, say German vehicles being sold here, it will be the EU who will come under pressure not us if we are willing to trade with the Germans..

Cutting off the nose to spite the face a pointless folly. The advantage lies with UK. EU problem now is money and not knowing how much it has to spend.

Not much of a problem there. This is the multiannual budget, drafted on the assumption the UK will not be contributing and not be benetiting.
In my experience this is one of the most easy exercises.
