  • Merkel played it very well. Johnson’s only reason for the visit was to further his “it’s not my fault” agenda, and she’s completely undermined him by putting the ball firmly back into his court.

    So he’ll now actually have to do something...

    And he got beaten up by the good cop. His visit to the bad cop is later today...

    The other way round, surely. Boris comes up with a plan which Merkel rejects and then it’s the EU's fault.

    We'll hear the same old stuff about magical thinking, blah, blah, blah.

    Tries to make a case, but that study doesn't seem to take into account that the average EU migrant arrives as an adult while, last time I heard, indigenous Brits arrive earlier in their lifespans. Does that study go into the cost/benefit of immigrants offspring?
    Yes, it's in the report you dismissed before even reading it.
    In all figures, the fiscal costs of dependent children are
    included in the net fiscal contribution of their responsible parent, a unit of analysis we refer to as the “accountable adult”.
    Don't blame me, I voted Remain.

    Well done you must feel very smug.

    Hmmm...quite a bit of abuse from the forum brexiteers lately. :think:
    Could it be because they're feeling their beloved brexit is slowly but surely slipping away? :wave:

    It's quite the contrary IMHO but it looks like the hardcore remainers don't like reaping what they have sewn though. Like seeing the deal signed with South Korea which surely must be a danger for those especially German exports to the UK of machinery and vehicles post-Brexit if the EU insist on their no-deal stance. I see that the EU has upset another Asian country with a booming economy Malaysia - and these have asked the UK for a deal ASAP too.

    I'd never heard it until I saw it being used by Arklight and other remainers. But because they were using it, I guess that made it OK with you.

    triathlon also called me 'son' so calling him Grandad is hardly abuse unless he was being abusive too.

    The Korea deal is a continuity deal, i.e. replicating the existing EU-Korea agreement. Ain't Brexit great ;)

    Sure, Malaysia wants a deal. They're desperate for one...because the EU is rightly planning to impose a ban on palm oil, due to plantations wiping out large swathes of Southeast Asian rain forest.

    It’s effectively to provide a whole herd of unicorns in the next 30 days. Apparently, he’s going to ask the US to give us some genetically modified horses...

    You seem to be lacking of up to date knowledge.

    Do not you know the the genetically modified horse is the one who will win the race.

    UK is already superior than any other EU countries in horse race, in olympic game. With genetically modified horse it is even better.

    So yes good the US is sending the UK the genetically modified horse that will win the race against the EU in all spectrums.

    Let DE and FR take any financial, defence and security burden of the EU which are loaded with a lot of freeriders, leechers.

    Come to this thread in about ten years time and see the impact of Brexit.

    It is the same thing when UK need to make decision about joining Euro. Now after a few decades, you already see who are laughing now.

    Oh dear. We do seem to have shot ourselves in the foot again haven't we?
