Doing all that would constitute a deal of sorts. If we don't do any of that it will still be 'No Deal'.
OK, you go and prepare yourself for the end of the world. I won't.

It is always surprising when Leavers insist that a shortish term disruption is worth the long term (imagined) gain, and insist the EU will only think short term about their immediate budget requirements.

And they are Passed by elected MEP's in the EU.

Of which we have a power of veto. We don't have to accept every single law passed, blindly.

Interesting article. I recognise the symptoms. One of the best cures is to sit in front of the TVwith a can of Old Speckled Hen (or two) watching Sussex dispose of Durham and thereby reach the Finals of the 20 over comp..

Except for the laws passed in areas of EU exclusive competence that require no parliamentary input.
We don’t have veto over exclusive competence that we signed up to in the treaties/.Stop lying and saying we do, you are shit at lying.
Time to take back control of our law making, you hate that concept, you are in a minority though,

Or looking after the best interests of your members. They have protected us for decades. Whatever happened to them needing us more? Is it common for the stronger hand to be bullied?
This was a stage of realisation that everyone knew we would get to. We make unrealistic demands due our levels of self-importance then get told no so we cry foul.

So we go 'no deal' without borders, customs or any ability to collect any tariffs or monitor what / who goes in and out of the country ?
As each issue comes up, each 'solution' from the Brexiteers becomes more desperate and ridiculous
Taking back control
Anyway, I'm now joining all our Brexiteer fans on here in fantasyland and looking forward to getting a result today
You may need to do some more reading on how our laws are implemented. Only parliament can pass a law.
Not true. We only have a veto in a few areas - a minority in fact.

I think we've found something we agree on. But just one point: Old Speckled Hen is a good (English) bitter.

That really is one of the dumbest things I’ve heard on here for a long time.
Thunder Bolt thinks our MPs aren’t elected. Wow, you make [MENTION=33848]The Clamp[/MENTION] (aka Nibble) look like Einstein.

Oh dear. Talking about comparing apples and pears.
Let’s start at the beginning.
GDP is the ‘turnover’ of a country - all companies, self-employed, etc within that country. Turnover does not equate to profit.
Then, on the profit/wages of each company, person, the portion which will be deemed to be taxable in that country will be taxed at the prevailing rate in that country. For example, Ireland has a lot of turnover which is taxed at very low rates for companies such as Google.
This taxation (including personal and consumption taxation) will be the income of the government, which is much, much smaller than the GDP.
Then, from this national income, they will pay into the EU budget.
So, you need to compare our contribution with the EU budget. That’s it. Nothing else is relevant.
What you have done is the equivalent of me sticking my head out of the window today, now (10:48 am) in Sussex and telling you what the weather will be in Scotland, at 5:45 pm, in 3 weeks time.

I must say I find it very disappointing that there was frenzied activity on this thread last night, both during and after, Sussex's fine win over Durham and that, despite it being a later kick-off away from home, the 'Not on an Albion match-day' unwritten rule seems to have been disregarded today too. I sincerely hope that tomorrow morning my displeasure is not incurred again this evening in this regard, but I'm afraid I have my doubts.
Anyway, we've made finals day for the first time in 6 years, so just rejoice at that news and congratulate our cricketers and the spinners. Good-night.
Rejoice!
