but the cheeses I buy are advertised and labelled as being made "in the style of". Presumably, that's a good enough legally as a get out clause.

Isn't that what a forum is about?
If you have such a low opinion of forums, why do you partake in
one?
BTW, you didn't answer my question!
Why if Boris wanted a firmer stance with the EU, didn't he take a
firmer stance when when he took over the negotiations from
Frosty at the end of the so called "deadline" ?
It was you that stated Boris wanted a firmer stance BTW !! #18
Donkeyman! 🤔🤔
Why does another's pointing out alternatives upset you so?
Are you just looking for an echo-chamber of affirmation from like-minded souls rather than seeking to further your understanding?
You won't get that from me.
As you say, that's what such a forum is all about.
Using little cliques to provide confirmation bias within a forum is going to promote responses you won't like.
As now, apparently.
Oh and before you start a faux-offended ping-pong of denialist replies I tell you now that I will not be participating when the following makes very clear that no matter what you (or I, or anybody else) think it is obvious that as far as global markets are concerned the UK is heading in the right direction.
Bluntly: what they think matters and counts.
I did answer your question BTW but as you sadly seem to do frequently with me it was ignored.
So again:

It might even have been you had he done so.
Surely it is not so long ago that you have forgotten Monsewer Barmier's frankly ridiculous demands - not one of which he achieved.
Boris's stance got a deal.
You might not like it but that is beside the point.
Yes I stated that Boris wanted a firmer stance - than the one Gove was taking.
I hope that his given you much to ponder, though I note that you have completely ignored the latter part of my post just as you missed my explanation as to why I believe Boris acted as he did.
So again: you might not be pleased with how Brexit has gone so far.
So what?
The ones that count are quite happy, as you can see from how the GB£ and UK shares are performing.

I shall continue posting on the brexit thread, and criticising where l

Hurrah for realising how forums work.
Never mind; the sycophancy displayed by some when I started to contribute more in this part of the forum evaporated pretty quickly once certain contributors realised that I was not always in complete agreement with their stance.
Perhaps I should have left this area to the blight which prevously pervaded.
BTW your understanding of how markets work is (as with so many of your understandings) quite narrow and flawed.
Which might explain how you can't grasp that we as a country are now being seen by those to be good potential prospects as opposed to the poor prospect seen when deciding to leave the union, and why the minor day-to-day fluctuations did not much change the outlook since 2016.
Until now.
This might aid your comprehension:

Boris is in charge.
He's the PM, and he is responsible in case you hadn't noticed.
Surely you have heard of "delegation".
As for your "right mess", would you like reminding of Barmier's ridiculous demands which Frost managed to neuter?

Because that obviously didn't include Boris.
As for being "sold short", you too ignore the EU's ridiculous demands which were effectively neutered.
You are also still ignoring that the saga is not yet over.
We might be out, but some things still need to be settled.
Like these, maybe:
"Britain could restrict imports of European mineral water and several food products under retaliatory measures being considered by ministers over Brussels’ refusal to end its blockade on British shellfish, the Telegraph reported.
Senior government sources pointed to potential restrictions on the importing of mineral water and seed potatoes, the report said."
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-b...-idUSKBN2AK0SE
Is there any point in my putting the original here from The Telegraph when pretty much everything else which you disagree with is ignored in favour of your own flawed perceptions?
