I take it that you do not believe in "contracts" as such when you talk of bullying and blackmail. What the EU are demanding was clearly stated in the conditions when the UK joined the EU.......now you may not like this but it is a fact. This article was written in 2016 and makes clear the UK's...

An extract from Bike Europe on anti-dumping duty on e-bikes from China... Accordingly, the Complaint has constructed a normal value by adding 14% direct overheads, 4% labour, 1% SG&A and 10% profit (the lower range of the target profit established in this Complaint) to the detailed materials...

I cannot believe that May is intending to give the EU another 20 billion. Surely neither Leavers or Remainers want this. This shower of a government are being blackmailed by the EU. We should leave,not give them a penny more. KudosDave

Danidl... British banks will lose "passporting rights" to do business in the European Union after Brexit, the EU's chief Brexit negotiator has said. Speaking in Brussels on Monday Michel Barnier said that "Brexit means Brexit, everywhere" and that there could be no opt-ins to parts of the...

Danidl......You are being a bit holier than thou in your postings,lets have a look at recent events in the Irish economy... Ireland is the sixth most favourable tax haven in the world...11% of its revenue,$46.6 billion in 2016, comes from sheltering the wealth of the likes of Google,who only pay...

I dont think leaving affects property ownership.the chinese own lots of property in the UK,France and Germany. Danidl...I like your posts,they are useful info and present someone who lives in the EU,but unfortunately the UK seems commited to crashing out of Europe,that suits the Rees Moggs,who...

If we join the customs union we are stuck with applying these protectionist tariffs and anti-dumping duties,including the one on e-bikes,surely you dont want that,if only for current personal reasons. We need a FTD but the ability to apply our own tariffs,otherwise Liam Fox's department is...

So we crash out...that could mean we revert to WTO tariffs...being selfish that would mean very low tariffs on engineering items and maybe the deletion of all anti-dumping duties.....if that happened the EU would have to build a fortress Europe,the smuggling possibilities UK-Europe would be...

My impression is that 'not sufficient progress' means we havent given them enough money,I am sure Juncker would give us his wine store if we gave them 100 billion. All the other matters are a side show,the EU need money. But we need money as well,for the Police,NHS,Social...

The 3 initial matters are easy to overcome,the U.K. has already the solution... 1, Expat rights....appear to be close to a deal 2. We have calculated that we owe £18 billion. 3. If the EU gives the UK a free trade deal then the Irish border problem is overcome. Simple,easy,nothing more to...

Yes but what does'we cannot yet report sufficient progress' ,what does that mean? KudosDave

What do you mean by 'the EU side are saying that there is not enough progress'? KudosDave

It's Tusk who keeps on going on about the money not Davis. The U.K. Had no alternative to accept the EU initial 3 demands,but events are making it clear that Brexit needs to be discussed in the round. Before you can make an offer for something you need to know what you are buying....we need to...

In response to your request for clarification....EU selfish....it is generally considered that post Brexit trade is important to both EU and UK,but the UK seem willing to offer compromises to keep negotiations moving forward,the EU seems to have given Barnier a demands list and to date has not...

Appearances are that the UK are the worst government that I remember in my adult life but there are times when incompetence is an advantage....I wonder whether David Davis's lay back style is exactly what is needed for the UK to achieve a good deal....the Swedes,Danes and German business are all...

The EU is threatening the UK that the UK will not get a free trade deal unless it comes up with more money.....Hammonds interview on the Marr show today said that the UK will satisfy its commitments,that surely is a calculable sum,at the moment £18billion,the EU appear to want a lot more. We...

The EU's Five Wise Men have advised Merkel to try to delay Brexit until March 2020 to avoid the cash crisis about to hit the EU....the Italians are looking for 42 billion Euros and Tusk wants lots of Euros to pay for his EU army. KudosDave

Mind you Hammonds key proposals are tax on plastics and driverless cars,if that is the extent of his imagination? KudosDave

Except when we leave where are the funds coming from to support the Spanish,Italians,Greeks,EE....my German customers are sick of bailing out the 'lazy sun worshippers',they don't need another. The EU will sell their soul for money,but they think they have the upper hand at the moment,Tusk is...

But so many of the 27 nations are dependent upon the EU,especially those in the 'olive oil' belt. The loss of the U.K. 's input leaves Germany the only major contributor. I am sure Ireland is letting the EU know that the loss of trade with the U.K. will be devastating for Ireland and that any...
