The ‘Christmas Turkey’ Deal – Half-baked, Hard to swallow, Satisfying nobody and Leaving a bitter taste.
Just for an over-view of what Britain has lost by Leaving the EU, just Google
“EU-UK relations big changes compared to benefits of EU membership”. It’s a PDF.
And then there’s Boris supposedly risking 99.6% of the proposed Trade Deal in order to ‘protect’ our Fishing Industry – worth 0.4% to the Economy.
Brexiteers really didn’t realise this huge, flag-waving distraction was solely to draw attention away from all the other U-turns and Sell Outs:
No was there would be a border between Eire and Northern Ireland = border between Eire/Ireland and mainland Britain (how long before Northern Ireland is reunified with the rest of Eire?);
Financial Services losing £billions;
No longer having to accept EU rules and Standards – except that if we want to Trade with the EU we have to (gasp!) accept EU rules and Standards;
Exporters now tied up in endless red tape = extra costs = increased prices = less competitive compared to other EU suppliers;
Reduced access to EU Security combined with NO system in place to check incoming lorries = Just wave 90% of them through for at least the next 6 months – Securing out borders by . . . having completely unsecured borders.
