Who's cherrypicking now??
Donkeyman! 👍😁👍
They're still not getting it, are they?
It isn't just about access to our waters, it's about so-called level playing fields and the insistence that we submit to EU laws!
Barnier has somehow got to give those demands up before a deal can be made and that is unlikely.
As the Guardian is reporting "an EU source" as saying:
' "But he was clear that things are entirely stuck,”
said an EU source. Barnier’s travel plans appeared to be “
driven more by a wish at the highest levels of the European commission to negotiate until the bitter end than actual progress on the ground”, the source added. '
As I have said before: they think that we will just submit as the clock ticks down.
We don't need to though, for reasons I have said many times before.
Note (well, it IS the Guardian
) that the "
we are bigger than the UK" argument keeps being played.
Why they determinedly ignore the huge annual surplus - £90 billion every year - in trade that their club sells to the UK I do not know.
That's a heck of a lot of potential job losses - at a time when the EU are facing numerous other problems as well as a virus.
