    I don't understand why people expect the EU to rollover and accept whatever trade deal terms the UK wants. The EU warned you there is no way for a comprehensive trade deal without straight out re-adoption of CU/SM to happen in 1 year, yet i'm sure it will be blamed for not signing up to one by the end of the transition period.

    Any job losses in the EU from Nisan closing it's factories will be compensated by new jobs created by other car manufacturers. The demand for X amount of cars in the EU will still be there. If Nisan is unwilling to fulfil it, other manufacturers, most likely European will.
    And i do not understand why you stand by and let a bunch of self serving ******* make decisions about the future of millions of people in the EU when clearly those decisions are short term solutions to bolster their political careers.

    The people of the UK voted to eave the EU - it is now down to the politicians of the EU and the UK to ensure that runs as smoothly as possible - it is not up to them to try and 'punish' someone because their noses have been put out of joint.

    Or do you think that is exactly what elected officials should do?

    Cos it seems to be what you are saying.

      Using the word 'smoothly' is not only completely disingenuous it is also utterly ridiculous.

      You and your thicko friends in the Brexit minority threw a massive spanner in the works. The talks are about making the best of this bad, bad situation. It won't be smooth. And you can't expect the EU to behave like complete idiots just because you did.

      They've said all along you and Boris can have a third country arrangement (now being called 'Australia' by Dom) or you can have many of the advantages we enjoy now but obviously you have got to tow the line, and tow it 100%. That'll be the nearest you get to smooth.

      So which do you want, Original??

          Looking at the GE in December, it appears the good citizens and Wailers did just that.

                And there's me thinking that the EU was undemocratic and didn't have elected officials...
                Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

                  Less politicians is better.

                  Has this thread and any others not taught you that politicians do not care about anything but themselves?

                    You have to be joking!!??

                    Brexit boys Johnson and Gove are surely the most extreme examples of totally amoral bent politicians in the history of the world. They can barely keep a straight face when they are asked to make statements.

                    And they are the ones you, and people like you, have fallen for, hook, line and sinker.

                    You will rightly point out that if the EU negotiators are self-serving and untrustworthy then it clearly important to be dealing with the UK's interests inside the EU rather than outside.

                    However, don't beat yourself up too much over only just realising you voted the wrong way. It will cause damage. Hundreds of thousands of people will lose their jobs (in the EU as well as the UK) but when all is said and done it wasn't down to you - over 17 million other idiots made the same stupid mistake - so don't feel quite so bad as you obviously do right now after realising Boris is taking us off the cliff edge.

                      You are hilarious. One minute the EU politicians are unelected, the next they're elected officials who need to make the trade process smooth. You say they want to punish us, when it's our own politicians who are punishing the public. The EU guys are merely looking after their own citizens; they have no responsibility to do right for us, that's up to Bojo and his posh Tory chums.

                      After all this time you still don't get it. You voted for this. You voted to leave the EU. You voted to 'take back control' so that our politicians make decisions on our behalf and the EU no longer do so. You won fella. get over it; if you don't like the way the negotiations are going have a word with your Tory MP.

                      Or do what us remainers are doing, pull up a chair, crack open the and enjoy the fun.
