Your link

Nope.

Obviously you are unable to explain what was in Lower's mind so I will wait for him or her to tell us.

You don't even know if Brexers want a deal like Switzerland has.

 

[fillyboy]

I had a feeling you'd say something like that. Thank you for re-assuring me.

Its surprising the warmth that can be extracted from the smugness of ignorance

 

[Notch7]

wont lie to you Notch, if it gets to that stage, I reckon Brussels will be getting on the Eurostar to London

Yes, that is very likely.

If I believed more Im sure I could win the lottery

Wow, who could have seen that happening?


Donald Tusk rejects Boris Johnson demand to scrap Irish backstop


"The EU has firmly rejected Boris Johnson’s demand to remove the Irish backstop from a Brexit divorce deal, claiming the UK had offered no “realistic alternatives” to prevent the creation of a hard border in Ireland.

The UK prime minister sent a letter to Donald Tusk, president of the European Council, on Monday night laying out why he wanted to remove the “undemocratic” backstop from the withdrawal agreement ahead of meetings between Mr Johnson and the leaders of France and Germany in the coming days.

In a terse response, Mr Tusk rebuffed Mr Johnson’s suggestion that the UK and EU could come up with “unilateral” measures to maintain the 1998 Good Friday Agreement that ended decades of violence in Northern Ireland, and accused the government of pursuing a strategy that would result in a new hard border."

Tusk wont agree to anything while there is a chance that the remainer faction will do the EU's job for them by overturning the result of the referendum and keeping the UK tied to the EU.

Bojo plan is to ask Republic of Ireland to leave the EU.

The more wild and stupid his plans are the more the Brexiteers cheer.

There is no need for Tusk to do anything.

All the EU have to do is wait, a no deal will play right into their hands.

if the UK leaves with no deal it will, as per article 50 lose every single trade agreement worldwide.

Therefore the UK will be forced to go and negotiate with zero power to negotiate with the EU.

last 3 years of Brexit negotiations must surely mean other countries are lining up to follow suit

 

[Vinty]

Its not true.

To have the advantage of an open border without checks requires regulations to be harmonised.

Brexiteers want to leave and dont want to abide by the EU regulations.
Clearly if the UK want new trade deals, like the USA, then regulations will diverge.

Then, the EU cant have a leaky border, because its single market of common standards would get spolit.

Brexiteers dont want the advantage of a huge market, on their doorstep, with no checks or paperwork.

So effectively they are complaining the EU wont give them something they have already told the EU they refuse to have.

With that understanding, is it not unfair to blame the EU?

Look at a map, the EU has 1000's of miles of Land borders stretching from Finland to Turkey.
The Irish border question is a manufactured problem created by the EU to use as leverage on the UK during the transition negotiations.

No, the Brexers say they want to keep foreigners out, so there must be a border with immigration controls between the EU and the UK.

True.

EU controls imports from third countries outside the EU that do not have a trade agreement.

True.

RoI is part of the EU

True

NI is part of the UK

True.

The UK refuses to accept the negotiated agreement

True.

Which one of those facts do you find it difficult to grasp?

All the EU has to do is wait? Napoleon and Hitler thought the same thing and you know what happened to them.

The only thing manufactured are the lies by Brexiteers.
