At least this shows who is asking for the extensions now !!
And it definitely isnt Frosty as it is an EU geezer pretending to
be sick not one of ours !!

Donkeyman! 👍😀😀👍

Re: ANOTHER Last, Last, Last Chance!

Probably telling Macron to keep his gob shut

Re: ANOTHER Last, Last, Last Chance!

Exactly this.
There is a possibility that Monsewer Barmier is playing games and hoping that taking talks right up to a deadline will somehow force the UK into submission.

If that is true I think he has very seriously misjudged (yet again) the UK position - even our local radio station has government ad's many times an hour saying that we must prepare for change in the New Year.
We are ready.
Well, as ready as we can be.
Those who will be affected in EU-land are getting nothing.
Over a billion pounds (yes £ not €) of goods a week they export to the UK, but nothing.
That's why Macron & pals are screeching.
But Barmier doesn't care.

I can't see Macron or the others just staying schtum for ten days, quietly twiddling their fingers.

In their determination to make Brexit as difficult and damaging to UK they have failed. It will cost them more financially.

Surely the commission is not so arrogant and do not have any plans for no deal.

Re: ANOTHER Last, Last, Last Chance!

Arrogance is their forte Cinders !!
BTW, Does this mean Lord Frosty is trapped in Europe in an EU
Isolation bubble??
How strange, out of a tunnel into a bubble ??

Donkeyman! 🤔🤔🤔

Re: ANOTHER Last, Last, Last Chance!

Ofcourse it has no plans for a no-deal, they thought Boris would give in to their demands and and stay in the EU

The problem for the EU now is not only do they have no plans for no-deal across the 27 member states, they have to convince the business all over the EU that the gold plated solution that has been given to them by David Frost in legal texts for an unlimited quota, zero tarriff trade agreement will be taken off the table by Brussels.

This will not be popular in the EU

So the pressure on the EU is ...

1. The reduction of the 100 billion a year worth of net imports from them from the UK.

2. The 27 member states who's leaders were promised our fisheries, the level playing field and control of the UK from the ECJ that now isn't going to happen.

3. All the industries in the 27 who supply the UK with goods suddenly realising they have to now compete with the rest of the world due to our zero tarrif MFN limits and the UK not being hamstrung by the CAP.

4. Massive unemployment in the 27, not just because of COVID but because we can trade elsewhere on more favourable terms.

...... and that's before the UK deregulates from EU rules.

I think Barnier has dug his own grave, Boris just needs to stick to his guns.

Re: ANOTHER Last, Last, Last Chance!

Taken him hostage imo, until their demands are met.

Re: ANOTHER Last, Last, Last Chance!

Exactly that Bread !
The commission was so sure we would knuckle down they have
been caught short by their own predictions for us !!
Deeply satisfying aint it?
