Soloman Tump Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 My wife has an Irish passport so we have options! But our current plan is to move down to Devon at the start of next year (plague pending). Oxfordshire has definitely lost its charm. Everything is so expensive, busy and falling apart. They are building a shed ton of new homes without any thought on infrastructure or the environment. The council is a disgrace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zkom Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 (edited) With the Brexit transition period finally over on Dec 31st, Trump possibly refusing to give up the presidency and the first/second/third wave of the pandemic making rounds, it looks like a setting for a one hell of a winter.

dingformung Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 I still don't understand what the problem is. Norway and Switzerland have acceptable deals with the EU that work perfectly fine. Makes no sense for the UK not to want the same. It's always surprising how irrational leadership elites act since you would expect them to be somewhat competent and leaving emotions out of it. In a way it's good for the EU to have one conservative cock blocker less, though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a way it's good for the EU to have one conservative cock blocker less, though It requires a huge amount of work and being in a constant state of negotiation with the EU for those countries to maintain access. It's possible because Norway and Switzerland have adults in charge, but it's not easy. The Swiss had a referendum last year on restricting freedom of movement (proposed by right wing opposition and voted down strongly by the electorate). Had that passed they would have lost all access to the EU market. It would have been catastrophic for a landlocked country surrounded by member states. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zkom Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 This should be finally happening in 20 days. After years of negotiations let's get the deal done in 3 weeks. Any chance of delaying the Brexit more? No-deal Brexit should be illegal now or how the hell does that even work?

Soloman Tump Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 It was inevitable that the negotiations would go down to the last minute. Even without COVID this would have happened as the EU do not want us to leave with a favourable deal lest others wish to follow us. Sure our leadership hasn't helped - but I don't see how a different party or leadership would have been able to do any better tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amen Warrior Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 We're completely fucked. If I was any kind of small to medium business owner I would be absolutely sick with worry and rage right now (luckily I'm a lazy bastard and never want my own business). Bonson should be strung up.

zkom Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 The timing with the pandemic, EU budget disputes and changing US presidency is just perfect. At least Hungary and Poland finally lifted objections to the rule of law requirements so the budget can progress and that doesn't take all the time and maybe there are more resources to focus on the Brexit also. But during the EU summit this week they had only 10 minutes to address the Brexit. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-12-11/johnson-s-appeal-for-brexit-help-frustrated-by-summit-deadlock Quote The meeting of the EU’s 27 government chiefs in Brussels went through the night as they tussled over tough new climate targets. Leaders, including those crucial to the U.K. talks, like German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Emmanuel Macron, were scheduled to be briefed on the EU’s future relationship with the U.K. over dinner but it ended up only happening for less that 10 minutes at 8:30 a.m., after a grueling night.

The fact that you will not be able to trade with us unless you harmonize your laws, the way Switzerland and Norway do, isn’t even the biggest problem. In fact, that mostly affects you guys, not us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
