There is one comment which demurs: Protecting the interests of the EU bloc is not lunacy. Considering yourself so entitled as to believe the EU should just accept everything we request, is. This is a negotiation and it isn't helped by publications like this, poisoning them with rabid...

Now folks, how shall we handle this? The medics say keep people apart. But we think it would be much better for them all to congregate at a number of specific locations in villages (some!), towns and cities for testing. We'll then know how many have covid-12. All of them. Oh! So we might...

That's right. Blame Europe (which, of course, really means the EU). China had noting to do with it. (And who else? I guess we'll find out more in time. But almost certainly not everything.)

Really? What engine? I did write that inspections are necessary and they might result in specific maintenance.

Makes me think of the difficulties of UK industry regarding ball bearings in WWII. I doubt we can 3D print them even now!

Flecc was actually pretty moderate with his claim. Other than replacing in-cabin microfilter, rotating tyres and replacing key battery, on the less severe operating schedule, everything else is a matter of inspection. Which, of course, might result in some further action, but it is conditional...

I own a German-built car which is not exactly brand new, but is still in good condition. Of all the things I need for it, how many can sensibly be 3D printed? Windscreen wiper blades? Spark plugs? Brake pads? Battery? Tyres? Valve caps? Well, they are at least feasible. But still not sensible -...

Just sufficiently unsecret enough for people to put it in newspapers and on forums. Let us think this through. a) It really should have been a secret but someone has leaked. b) It really wasn't a secret and it is being purposefully published (even if in the form of leaks) for some end. c) It...

Has he said that any paperwork required by the EU for exports to NI will not even be sent by the rest of the UK? Anyway, Johnson is widely acknowledged to be a wholesale liar. Why would anyone believe him?

Seeing as we were talking about donners:

Already true in Wales. But (in 2017) it appeared not to be having the intended effect: Wales' organ donation opt-out law has not increased donors Do you think that chlorination (or lactic acid treatment) would make you safer for consumption? And do you actually have any teeth or nails left?

To quote from that: Johnson will clearly walk away with no FTA rather than accept European Court of Justice (ECJ) oversight and regulatory alignment. So just what is the oversight and regulatory regime in NI going to be?

EU is out of date... :) EU demands UK keeps chlorinated chicken ban to get trade deal Exclusive: clause in negotiating mandate for Michel Barnier will create hurdle to US-UK deal But I am sure they would also demand a ban on lactic acid chicken.

'A problem shared is a problem halved'

They are probably ones that don't work for covid-19.

No deal now storming to the fore... No 10: UK aim is to 'restore independence' from EU by end of year Even if we had never joined the EU, we would still not have been independent of it in so many ways.

We do not have enough residential accommodation. From those that exist: We have to remove all the flooded homes - some temporarily, some permanently. And we have difficulty with those that appear prone to flooding even if they have not yet flooded. And the dangerously clad buildings. And then...

You can get people with no experience of government to handle the negatiations, they will be world-beating, fantastic. But those who do understand governement cannot possibly get to grips with negotiation.

Planning - the idea is to identify what needs to be done, and doing them, before things go wrong. If you cannot see that threatening everyone with the sack might not be the best game plan, I guess your mindset would also assume that leaving the EU without approrpiate agreements is also a really...
