Why do they actually need a deal to exit?
I mean it’s not like they are owed money from the EU- I think the EU wants them to PAY money to exit.
Tell them to go eff themselves.
Wow, 4 years later and they are STILL messing with this.
No kidding. So, which completes first: Brexit or Flynn's trial?
I'm not sure which will end first but if I were making a bet on when either of them ends I'd take the 'over' and feel pretty good about it.
Why do they actually need a deal to exit?
But say a Frenchman or a French-made product goes to Ireland, no passport or customs required, then goes into Northern Ireland and from there goes to Britain. Somewhere, there will have to be passport/customs to deal with. Where? The UK/Ireland border or the NI/Britain “border”, remembering free movement of goods and people also applies within the U.K. And, of course goods and people can move in the opposite direction.
I believe this is what the argument is about. Of course the democrats are now saying they will ‘punish’ the U.K. if they get back into power if the U.K./Irish border is reestablished.
This a future trade deal, not a deal to exit. The exit deal is already in place, but the transition arrangements it provides for end in December.
Is the VAT tax still in force over there in the UK?
It was nice that the Brits were able to handle Hitler much better.
That sounds like a USA/Canada/Alaska issue.. ;^)
Thank you!

Just spoke with Prime Minister @BorisJohnson of the United Kingdom. Very thankful for his friendship and support as I recovered from the China Virus. I am looking forward to working with him for many years to come, a great guy!
Welcome to the Hotel California.
Of course, Britain has already stated that it has no intention of imposing a ‘hard border’ on the ROI/UK border, the threat comes soley from the EU/ROI side.
Of course, its not surprising that the Dem globalists would side with the EU and put all the responsibility on the UK to bow down to EU demands.
The UK has already exited - as of 31 January 2020. Now the negotiations are about the future trade relationship.
It’s not easy exiting a trade zone. Imagine if California were to leave the United states — the UK’s position is not as tied in, but that would give you an idea.
Each of the EU countries allow free flow of trade (goods and services) and standardized trade laws, rules and well, standards.
To exit out takes time to untangle.
the UK got out on 31 Jan 2020, now the question is how to trade further - and no, just WTO rules won’t cut it, as there are tons of part flows across borders
To add in, there is the Good Friday agreement that agreed to a no-borders Ireland.
And the fishing rights (which is pure politics - the impact on jobs and the economy is barely a fraction of a percent)
