They are extending the negotiations even further now. This is what they did with Canada and just about every other trade deal they have. It's ratified on one side but not on the EU side so it drags on for decades where the EU get to change the rules but the other side can't or they get accused by the EU clowns of breaking international law.

Sound familiar ?

Re: Misled Over Brexit ? Certainly Looks That way !

There is no need to trigger anything if the deal isn't ratified.

Re: Misled Over Brexit ? Certainly Looks That way !

IMHO, if the deal isn't ratified the EU hasn't got a legal leg to stand on and Boris and Co can do virtually anything they like with the "border in the Irish Sea".

Re: Misled Over Brexit ? Certainly Looks That way !

Thank you Percy for a much-needed injection of commonsense into this part of the forum.

I believe that you're correct, and we know by now that the EU really are daft enough to do it too.
Although sadly it seems that certain others would rather fixate upon other areas rather than try to understand the bigger picture.

Re: Misled Over Brexit ? Certainly Looks That way !

Yes indeed. I think they've shot themselves in the foot (again) here. The only thing we need to do is to ensure that Boris doesn't offer them yet another extension in which to make up their minds.

If he continues to dawdle, at least he can't keep it up all the way until 2024...
can he?

Best just to ignore them and let things take their natural course - to a true Brexit!

You're welcome Zaphod.

At this rate the EU are going to implode anyway.

The latest is that they've stopped 250,000 AstraZeneca vaccines from being exported to Australia - and this when they can't use the huge stock they have got of this vaccine in the EU itself because of their own mistakes!
Let's see how they try to explain this.

Re: Misled Over Brexit ? Certainly Looks That way !

Because of the post above I thought that you might like to see this:

"Only 273,000 doses of the jab developed by AstraZeneca and Oxford University have been administered in France out of 1.7 million received as of end-February, according to health ministry figures."

"By February 23, 1.45 million doses had been delivered to Germany, but only 240,000 had been used."

To be fair though, the French are very adverse to vaccines. Around 40% won't take it anyway so its always going to be an uphill battle.

Macron didn't help and neither did Merkel - they both panned the AZ vaccine out of spite and now the French and Germans don't know what to believe or who to believe, especially with Merkel openly admitting she won't have the vaccine either.

Its all a bit of a mess. My French friends are all having the vaccine, thank God but to them, Macrons performance so far is "having a 747 full of passengers crashing every day" in terms of the numbers dying of covid thanks to his and the EU's incompetence.
