Re: Boris rejects EU proposals !!

For somebody "going round in circles" he seems to be making the EU think .......... and act.


"The European Commission has paused legal action against the UK for allegedly breaching the post-Brexit deal on Northern Ireland."

"A European Commission spokeswoman said on Tuesday that the pause to the legal action which was launched in March would be used to consider proposals put forward by the UK last week.

The spokeswoman added: "While the EU will not renegotiate the Protocol, we stand ready to address all the issues arising in the practical implementation of the Protocol in a spirit of good faith and cooperation.

"It is essential that we continue constructive discussions in the weeks ahead.

"With regards to the request for a standstill, the Commission will carefully assess the new proposals made by the UK, in accordance with the necessary consultation procedures, both internally, and with the European Parliament.

"In order to provide the necessary space to reflect on these issues and find durable solutions to the implementation of the Protocol, we have decided, at this stage, not to move to the next stage of the infringement procedure, started in March."
"

This from: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics...land-protocol/
But widely-reported today.

The EU have repeated stated they will not agree to a change in the Northern Ireland Protocol.

Stopping the legal action was convenient for the EU not to lose a case they couldn't win anyway.

Had Boris been Maggie at Christmas last year, we'd have left with no deal and certainly not with Treason May's 'deal'.

As I've said many times, Boris has let us down and handed our fishing areas and Northern Ireland, among other things, to the EU.

How much longer is this going to continue until we are completely free of the EU's influence? They daren't dictate to Switzerland, Russia, America or anyone else other than us. Why is that?
Because we have a weak leader.

His flights of fancy need to be grounded.
