    So it might well be £50bn.;)
    Anyway, still confident about WTO? :)

    From the very first page:
    Under the caveat that nothing is agreed until everything is agreed, the joint
    commitments set out in this joint report shall be reflected in the
    Withdrawal Agreement in full detail.
    Still confident that WTO isn't at least an option?
    :D

    Yep, pretty confident.
    Don't blame me, I voted Remain.

    What makes you think that?

    All NI are entitled to Irish citerzenship through the Good Friday Agreement and thus by extension EU citerzenship.

    Thanks - but nothing to do with today's EU deal then.

    No - alll to do with GFA. You can get Irish and therefore EU citerzenship if you have NI parents and grandparents too.

    My point is isn't this discriminatory against the rest of us British citizens who would want to remain EU citizens as well? https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/dec/08/suck-it-up-britain-negotiate-brussels-eu-brexit So so depressing!

    No not by the EU, but any representative member state. As anyone of them can object to anything they wish.

    That sounds fair. We will find out next week.
    There will be no Brexit dividend for Britain.

    Unable to read the link, as its behind a paywall, and can't seem to find it elsewhere. I am no expert in this field, however, my understanding of this is that the issue for medial isotopes is more to do with the Canadian shutdown of production, which is causing problems generally.
    There is I believe a project to create some isotopes within the UK, manufactured by non-reactor means.

    This is from the BBC
    http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-uk-leaves-the-eu-40571853

    It suggests problems but the British Government (well known for speaking the truth) say it's very easy and there is not a problem.

    Ah, is this the POV of the most deluded of remainers?
    Because "the rest of us that understand the need to deal internationally" obviously realise that all trade between the EU and the UK would cease were no deal to be finalised, don't they?
    Or maybe because these deluded remainers honestly believe that the EU doesn't really need the UK's cash? Nope, not interested one bit in money, the EU.

    All this with the EU posturing, demands and deadlines is for what then? Barnier & gang's jollies?
    No, it's all about money for the EU and nothing else. If anybody thinks that those in power in the EU are interested in "their" citizens or anything else they really ought to be asking why they aren't paying heed to these citizens across their "union".

    For example taking Hungary, Poland & the Czechs to court for not taking refugees - when the refugees themselves don't even want to go there.
    https://news.sky.com/story/eu-takes-hungary-poland-and-czech-republic-to-court-over-failure-to-meet-refugee-quotas-11160131
    Or inspiring 45,000 Catalonians to travel to Brussels so that they could show their criticism of the EU in a mass demonstration.
    https://www.politico.eu/article/45000-turn-out-for-pro-catalan-protest-in-brussels/

    "Little Englanders"?
    Delusional but typically derogatory remainer terminology.
    It is very obviously the EU that are the protectionist inward-looking ones.
    Schulz, Juncker and their federalist views make that patently obvious.


    Wunferrell don't be so angry. Britain is leaving the EU. You don't need to worry about the EU. You need to concentrate on Britain and what is and will happen to Britain during the next few years.
