UK and EU agree Brexit trade deal
- Thread starter AHA-Lambda
- Start date
These buffoons are going to start self-congratulating themselves on reaching a deal, but they don't deserve any congratulations at all.
thank fuck its over, but in the same way id expect a kick in the bollocks but only got a kick in the stomach
As someone with an international relations background, I can tell you that it reduces the UK to an insignificant player in world politics and if one had to point out a moment in which the UK lost its status as a world power it would surely be this one.
This development will most clearly show itself in the UK's dealings with China. While the UK was formerly a power China had to reckon with, they are now an irrelevant factor China doesn't have to take into account anymore. (You can already see that in how little fucks China gives about what the UK thinks of its Hong Kong policies.)
Don't expect anyone abroad to really care for what the UK thinks of any given issue anymore.
When it comes to consequences for individual Brits, expect the UK economy to shrink and struggle for years to come until things have adjusted to generally lower standards of living. Also, massively reduced opportunities and freedoms obviously.
Didn't sound like much coming from him and didn't say anything about work and travel opportunities.
So who is going to decide if the level playing field mechanism is violated? The European. court of Justice or the London High Court or will it be (secret) Arbitration?
Supposedly a sufficient third party, so like, US or Japan or some such maybe?
Not going to act like this is a relief, it's still a fucking shameful disaster, powered by xenophobia and racists. Fuck the Tories and fuck gammon.
Fantastic.
NHS is waiting on their 350m a week too.
chop chop Boris
so the US will have the final say what the european law needs to be interpreted?
No fucking way this gets ratified.
No because Scottish Independence is bad for our image, and also fuck you.
ah fuck - sorry to my kids :/ - we got huge benefits from that as a country
There are a few good journalists regularly giving some insights and from time to time hearing from inside sources.
Jeremy Cliffe or Anette Dittert for example.
Most issues the UK treated as negotiable concerned the integrity of the single market and were never negotiable for the EU.
This is what gave us this charade for the past years and it obviously ended with the UK faltering.
Not inherently, just like, they'd be one of the few national bodies you can maybe see each side as okay with having arbitrate. Though the last four years will have probably made the EU more wary on that
Only for goods, not services.
Border between Great Britain and Northern Ireland, like the border between Gibraltar and Great Britain.
Tied to EU courts and laws for the zero tariff free trade deal.
Arbitration is a big nono. Completely intransparent. One of the reason TTIP was a bust.
Are there investment protection mechanisms? If so this is DOA
The EU has essentially gotten everything it wanted. The only slight compromise was made on fishing. If the UK diverges from the level playing field they'll be slapped with tariffs. No more freedom of movement of the UK. How Johnson is selling this is a victory is beyond me. The UK has done serious damage to itself. Thankfully in my country Ireland the good Friday agreement was preserved and the border is kept open.
So does this mean I can still get my shit from Amazon uk sent to the North without paying import fees? This is all that really matters to me! Any of my Irish or British Brothers or Sisters understand enough to know?
I mean a no deal would have been a nightmare for my spending habits bruh...
I think they mean "Fuck you Scotland" from Westminster. I could be wrong tho.

this will be entirely business decisions between the various networks, the multinationals like Telefonica will be in a much better position to offer it as a competitive advantage to their customers
Mobile roaming charges explained: each network's changes and how it affects you
Roaming is getting more expensive for almost everyone

you can see statements from companies now
pretty sure they were being sarcastic, we will likely get told to fuck off when it come to indyref part deux
I'm working for a company that imports goods EU countries as well as the UK, we will have to change our UK suppliers from January because it is not worth the hassle to import from the UK anymore. The trade deal has little to do with that.
This is still a clusterfuck
This is still a clusterfuck
Agreed. To be honest without any kind of background this is all fundamentally obvious to me and was before the vote lol.
Putting up walls is never a good thing. I will never not be angry and bitter about this or to the people that put us in this position due to misplaced pride, arrogance and racism. Never. It makes me almost embarrassed to be British at this point. I feel stuck on a ship that's sinking but can't find a lifeboat :(
The trade part with the yellow circles will be the interesting part.
Rejoining is easier than you think.
I think once the reality of Brexit becomes apparent to people, this could happen rather quickly.
In hindsight you're probably correct.
So Scotland is completely at the mercy of the UK letting them have a referendum? There's nothing there to trigger one? I.e. Scottish Parliament vote for a referendum to be held.
Well, better than nothing? I still habe a hunch that it will be devastagiong in practice and a lot of stuff re: medicine/pharmaceutics/research will be a shitshow.
I haven't seen anything about private to business transactions in my quick glance at the pics from the EU. If I, a German, were to buy some physical goods from a UK store in Jan, will there be import fees and a customs check and added tax? What if I buy now but they post it in January?

There will be a joint committee of EU and UK representatives called the Joint Partnership Council that will hash out disputes.
I forget the details but i think we can have one regardless but if they said no at the start then the results won't mean much legally speaking. Someone else will probably chime in to elaborate or correct me.
rejoining with all of the UKs previous privileges and exceptions? Unlikely
