Because you don't break legally binding contracts

Nobody has broken any legally binding contracts, stop whining about it.

The law will be changed in plenty of time to avoid that happening - I guess that's what you can do when you respect the sovereignty of parliament and have a stonking majority.  Boris playing a blinder

Some dummy who knows that Russia is no longer ruled by communists you mean? Or some dummy who doesn't take the word of a liar who has been sacked from every job he's ever worked for, has had many unnamed children, said some god-awful racist comments and who obsesses over a man who calls the KKK "very nice people", who's dad was a member of said kkk and both of who are controlled by a right wing cardel most people in the 40's would call the enemy. You gave me examples of how you couldn't possibly be racist....but wil happily back this racist pond life if it suits your odd fantasy of "freedom".....and you call ME a dummy?

 

Love this clip of the oven-ready deal....brilliant. What a liar, charlaton and crook.....you back that and call other people who don't agree dummies? Protection for the NHS and an oven-ready deal we were promised. Both are lies. All the tories back it apparently....alright then....

 

 

I feel really worried for you. Here we are, going to lose all of our trade with the EU because the electorate comprises a majority of thick, racist bigots who not only voted to leave your beloved  EU, but also voted to elect a corrupt extreme right wing government with a stonking majority. It must really irk you immensely whenever you go out, that you are literally surrounded by these thick racist bigots. They say that wherever you are, you are no more than 6 feet away from a rat, so it must engender that sort of horror for you, eh?

It comes through increasingly with every additional post you make. I worry that very soon, you are going to explode with pent up rage. Go and lie down in a quiet dark room until you are calmer. Think about taking up meditation or do something else to distract you from these thoughts.

Remoaners being trolled by Boris and helping his negotiations by falling into the fucking great elephant trap he’s set.
 

The more the usual suspect wet their pants,  more light is  shone on the NI part of the WD. His leave coalition is all that matters, and  they'll be more concerned with the EU dictating policy between parts of the U.K., than breaking any agreement with them. The fact Boris actually signed up for that will be lost in the noise and just like when he prorogued Parliament, he’ll be able to line up a people v remoaners narrative. The more they go on about him & Cummins being mad & Trumpist, the more the EU will believe he may just do it. This will concentrate minds far far more than May & Robbins style of negotiation, which was basically “how would you like to fuck us”

He has set a crude trap. But it remains to be seen who its for and whether anybody falls into it. One analysis is that he is deliberately ramping up concern about breaking international and the break up of the UK so that it will soften up Parliament to accept a watered down deal that tacitly accepts the status quo over a level playing field without ever formally agreeing to it. And the EU hold off any retaliatory action until the UK actually changes it - ie never.

The last few twitches of the death throes of the remoaner establishment elite. Only around a month before the deadline for them to accept our red lines over our fishery waters and the so-called level playing field, and if they can't bring themselves to do it, then we tell them we're going WTO.

Read the argument put forward in the link and answer ta simple question that is the basis for it. 

What should take precedence in a democratic nation state: international law or the will of the democratically elected government? To those of us who believe in democracy, the answer is clear: the democratic will trumps international treaties every time. To the anti-democrats of the Remainer elite, however, the opposite is the case: they believe democracy can legitimately be constrained by treaties drawn up overseas, in the same way Papal edicts once sought to tie the hands of local rulers.

The circumstances surrounding the original drawing up of the WA have completely changed post the GE and the mandate given to the government now.

Several.

Quite right. Sacked from The Times for lying. Michael Howard sacked him as a shadow minister and party vice-chairman for lying about his mistress having 2 abortions, used racist and homophobic language, refuses to say how many children he has.

You really are a bit short on comprehension and long on the acceptance of bogus rantings of those who you believe to be credible sources of information provided it suits your warped agenda, aren't you?

Firstly, no treaty law has been broken yet. If a FTA is agreed with the EU, then the current proposed legislation will be rendered unnecessary. Essentially it is an insurance policy against no deal. In any event, the law has not even been passed yet. The EU are past masters at it.

The USA has not said sod your deal with us.The Speaker, Mad Nancy has shot from the lip that no trade deal will be done with us if the Good Friday Agreement is broken. Like you, she knows nothing and understands less, as the legislation proposed by the Government is designed to protect the Good Friday Agreement. As the Speaker of Congress, she has no more right to spout forth on what the USA trade policy will be than our former rogue Speaker, Bercow.

It doesn't appear to have affected the Japan deal and I don't see the Australians, Canadians and New Zealanders being bothered by us besting the EU either.

Japan trade deal commits UK to stricter state aid curbs than in EU talks

Contrasting positions could undermine negotiating stance with Brussels

https://www.ft.com/content/edb7d155-56b4-4065-9f83-31b2247fa178

I don't know what's funnier - the provisions against state aid which the UK considers a red line in negotiations with the EU and a fundamental encroachment on its sovereignty (something about Cummings wanting a free hand to build a trillion dollar tech company to rival Google or another pmsl) or the agricultural provisions in the FTA. Remember how the UK was going to secure a better deal for UK food than the EU, including a symbolic win for cheese (never mind many Japanese are lactose-intolerant). It turns out the UK failed to secure said deal (specifically new tariff-rate quotas under which it would have been able to sell a limited quantity of food to Japan at lower tariffs). Instead it was told it could only use any quota left unfilled by the EU i.e its sloppy seconds and  only for 10 of the 25 products covered in the EU-Japan FTA.  

I'm just surprised the Japanese didn't include a provision to sell Brexiters magic beans.

also, ageist....no, I'm against miserable old bstrds like you who want to screw this country over to get your own way in spite of everyone else. It's your party trying to turn this into an age war by blaming everything on young people....mainly because they won't vote for the crooked liars you do.

Yep, and people think it’s just the Democrats on the NE Seaboard. It really isn’t, some of the Republicans as well do not like Brits and they like the Trump populist wannabes on the Tory right even less.

What Boris and co are aiming for is a Anglosphere - a TTIP on steroids between English speaking nations. This dream is held and cherished by a minority in the hard right of the Republicans and Tories, the Think Tanks e.g. Heritage and IEA, UK tabloids e.g. DT, Sun, Mail, and Fox when they can be bothered or it’s a quieter week.

Tony Abbott has been a big driver in the idea, hence his appointment in the one thing Boris and Cummings haven’t done a U turn on. Biden is about to chuck a huge spanner in the works and it’s why the new Tories are desperate for Trump to hold on.

Absolutely but as pointed out, some of the committees that have to pass any bill are a-political and will absolutely not allow such an agreement so the US deal seems dead in the water if this bill goes through.

Despite Brexit, English is set to become the EU official language...

The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the European Union, given its majority status in the EU, despite the UK leaving.
As part of the final Brexit negotiations, Germany proposed a 5- year phase-in plan that would become known as "Euro-English". Germany argued that this may make the EU more inviting to the UK in the future.
In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c". Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy. The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of "k". This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter.
There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced with "f". This will make words like fotograf 20% shorter.
In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible.
Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling.
Also, al wil agre that the horibl mes of the silent "e" in the languag is disgrasful and it should go away.
By the 4th yer peopl wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" with "z" and "w" with "v".
During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords kontaining "ou" and after ziz fifz yer, ve vil hav a reil sensi bl riten styl.
Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi TU understand ech oza. Ze drem of a united urop vil finali kum tru.

Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German like zey vunted in ze forst plas.
