Yeah the EU is always breaking the rules - look at the member states NATO contributions etc. The UK has one of the lowest number of infringements out of all the member states.

It's unbelievable people would throw a country (Northern Ireland) to the EU because of a piece of paper.

Check out how many times Spain infringes the Treaty of Utrecht by sailing warships in the British waters around Gibraltar.

This "breaking the law" position the principled left have over our national right to protect our own union is laughable.

Trump tore up the Paris Agreement - the USA economy did quite well out of that.

I think some forget that the EU as a trading bloc has almost as much clout as the US and China do when it comes to trade. You are a minnow in comparison. That's not talking your country down as some would probably say, that's just acknowledging you are no longer a global super power with immense trade markets. That was all lost over the first part of the 20th century.

Boris signed it on our behalf.

Breaking it means we can never be trusted.

It will cost us far more in lost Trade Deals and Interest Payments on our huge debt.

It is simply Business.

Your word is your bond.

Break it and you are the the same as Venezuela.
For some reason, I am not losing any sleep about this!

Not true.

Frost has told Barnier not to bother - and this was widely known at the time you posted; are you deliberately trying to mislead?

I don't care what the EU should do.
We can accuse them of several things in return, as have been mentioned here before.
Yes, let's ignore them the way those vile French farmers did when they cruelly set fire to our lorries and burned hundreds of lambs in them to death.

let's ignore them just as France did when it refused to lift the beef ban until one year after all other member states did, despite the commission taking them to court and they being fined 100,000 euros a day until they lifted it.
Of course, it ended up with France not paying a single euro in fines because of excuses.

So to hell with the EU.

Nope, he told him not to come, unless he is prepared for concessions. Barnier stated that weeks ago, but the UK didn't reciprocate. Now they are willing to do that, obviously.

"he told him not to come"

You may attempt misinterpretation but my assertion was correct, and you said it yourself.
Thanks for the confirmation.
