Looking from outside you are not getting much of a deal if at all. To me and many with no skin in the game the EU mafia have to make you pay for leaving so have to hurt you to stop others leaving.

"so will he turn up for talks tomorrow or is it no deal january 1st?yep I think he will turn up and I think there will be a deal "
I agree, if Trump had won the US election then no deal was highly likely, he lost, so a no deal is now highly unlikely . |

There's general wide spread support throughout the EU member states for membership, so firing any further warning shots aren't of benefit. It's clear already what the limited choices are for the UK and the EU, with finer local points, having already shown the poor conditions and results that the departing state has. That horse bolted a long time ago.
The willingness to compromise on each side over the final aspects of fishing rights, state support etc, are the tweaks of a deal that in total is nothing like what UK citizens wanted.
The initial requirement and offer from the UK government is nothing like what is possible at best now and certainly a no deal was ruled out. |

This is all so utterly, utterly pointless.
The very reasons that we joined the Common Market back in the day are just as valid today (if not more) than they were back then.
Together, everyone achieves more and rowing your boat alone, just makes you tired.
We are leaving the European Union solely because foreigners are our equal there, whereas in the Union of the United Kingdom - we boss it.
It is all just so infantile and so completely unnecessary.
Hopefully a good hard and brutal no deal Brexit will focus the minds next year when we will go back with a begging bowl. |

Ye when I said the other day that some people would be happy if Brexit failed and businesses and the country suffered I was told I was being puerile and talking BS, that no Remainer wanted that. Well that's the third one to openly admit it now  |

Well he has turned up lets hope its not with the idea that the eu will restore between 15% and 18% of the fish quota caught in UK waters by EU fleets to the UK under a free trade agreement otherwise i think he will be going home pretty quick.

It just shows the arrogance of them that they think giving us back some fishing quotas is good,its not theirs to give back, haven't they realised we have taken back 100% of it, but in order to do a deal we will consider allowing them access to some of our fishing grounds, |

"I heard he threatened not to come at all hoping to get concessions up front. That fell flat. "
They know they are making impossible demands that they or any other country would agree to.If i was frost i would agree to a level playing field on state aid but tell them they have to align with the uk,s as they much higher levels of state aid than the uk see how that goes down.  |

Cameron and his cronies got his tactics all wrong. Osborne too and as for Obama Baning on.. all had the reverse effect |

A fact often missed when people say we will lower our standards is we could lower our standards and still have them equal or superior to EU rules. Of course any party that lowers standards will have to face the voters at some point |

Which national song would that be then? The one whose words were co written by 2 Scots by any chance?
If it is that one, there is no reference to ruling the world and its a damn site more tame than some of the major European national anthems.

Once again, you take things completely out of context. What is the following line?
It’s about these Isles not capitulating to foreign aggressors. Go read the full words, you may actually learn something and as I said above, the words were originally written by 2 Scots. |

Rule britannia is a song that has been used to glorify our colonial past.
The clue is in the words rule the waves and the recent daily mail backlash.

You didn’t ask me that question. Are you going to concede that you have no idea what the song Rule Britannia is about?
I've asked you it twice and you have refused to answer
Rule britannia is a song that has been used to glorify our colonial past.
The clue is in the words rule the waves and the recent daily mail backlash.
You haven’t asked me that question twice. Read back.
Go read the words to Rule Britannia and tell me where it says anything about ruling the world
Do you really not think that other countries have nationalistic songs? Are you really that naive or do you really just like bashing the UK? Read the words to the National anthems of France, Italy Germany and Spain, although to be fair to Germany they dropped the first 2 verses some time ago because of the past Nazi connotations.
Clearly my question isnt going to be answered so I'm done
You expect me to answer your question but won’t answer mine!
As I said earlier, with post you type, you show your arrant ignorance.
You are right
I'm a bit confused about the line..rules the waves?
I know it's a bit of a waste of time expecting an answer from you but could you interpret that line for me?
Fucking hell, that’s rich coming from you. Read back, I explained what it meant some time ago."

The words to the song talk about defending us from foreign tyrants but the words 'rule the waves'is clearly a reference to our imperial past.
There is a huge controversy about the song as evidenced by the recent furore over The last night of the proms.
We have a culture absolutely steeped in jingoism..it pours out of our right wing media and was a major factor in Brexit.
My original point then was to call the eu arrogant (quite how 27 countries can be arrogant is anyone's guess)is rather a case of glass houses. |

What has Spanish colonialism got to do with the jingoistic culture we have in this country?
How many times do you see the war referenced for example?
How 'we'won the war
There is a train of thought in this country that we are somehow better than everyone else.
That was well and truly evidenced through Brexit.
There is a difference between patriotic and being jingoistic. |

"What exactly is jingoism
Today the term is simply used as an attempt by the left to insult anyone who is patriotic
So you deny jingoism exists?"
No but the term is used excessively. Are you patriotic? |

Yes or no
You going to answer my question?
What question would that be?
You didn’t ask me that question. Are you going to concede that you have no idea what the song Rule Britannia is about?
I've asked you it twice and you have refused to answer
Rule britannia is a song that has been used to glorify our colonial past.
The clue is in the words rule the waves and the recent daily mail backlash.
You haven’t asked me that question twice. Read back.
Go read the words to Rule Britannia and tell me where it says anything about ruling the world
Do you really not think that other countries have nationalistic songs? Are you really that naive or do you really just like bashing the UK? Read the words to the National anthems of France, Italy Germany and Spain, although to be fair to Germany they dropped the first 2 verses some time ago because of the past Nazi connotations.
Clearly my question isnt going to be answered so I'm done
You expect me to answer your question but won’t answer mine!
As I said earlier, with post you type, you show your arrant ignorance.
You are right
I'm a bit confused about the line..rules the waves?
I know it's a bit of a waste of time expecting an answer from you but could you interpret that line for me?
Fucking hell, that’s rich coming from you. Read back, I explained what it meant some time ago.
One last time.
Do you have a history of jingoism?
Yes or no?
Me? No
Does this country?
I answered your question, try answering mine
The words to the song talk about defending us from foreign tyrants but the words 'rule the waves'is clearly a reference to our imperial past.
There is a huge controversy about the song as evidenced by the recent furore over The last night of the proms.
We have a culture absolutely steeped in jingoism..it pours out of our right wing media and was a major factor in Brexit.
My original point then was to call the eu arrogant (quite how 27 countries can be arrogant is anyone's guess)is rather a case of glass houses.
Tell me, when we’re the words of Rule Britannia first penned?
Have the Dutch, French, Portuguese, Spanish, to name but a few, not got colonial pasts?
What has Spanish colonialism got to do with the jingoistic culture we have in this country?
How many times do you see the war referenced for example?
How 'we'won the war
There is a train of thought in this country that we are somehow better than everyone else.
That was well and truly evidenced through Brexit.
There is a difference between patriotic and being jingoistic."

Exactly! Linus seems to think that this applies to Uk only. I suspect he’s never been outside of Liverpool, never mind the UK! |

Yet you are still rather tediously going on about the origins of the song,as if it has any relevance to today.
You have still not admitted that jingoism exists in this country,when it quite clearly does.

It’s only starting to get boring because you realise once again that you’re out of your depth and talking bollocks. You were the first to introduce Rule Brittania into the thread, claiming it to be a song about British Imperialism. At the time the words were penned, Britain had colonies in the Americas, it was 50 years before Australia was discovered, some 140 years before Britain colonised Africa. So that’s the relevance or are you too stupid to realise it?
Go and do some proper research into the meaning of the song instead of the soundbites you pick up as you google.
Britain is no more guilty of jingoism that most other countries. Have you ever been abroad? |

"As an island nation ruling the waves was important to protect from foreign aggression hence the line and also prevents us becoming slaves hence the following line.
Surely defending something is different from ruling it?
Throw 'defends' into that tune, doesn't really work. Why do you hate the UK?
I dislike jingoism

My original point then was to call the eu arrogant (quite how 27 countries can be arrogant is anyone's guess)is rather a case of glass houses.
Incorrect. As said ruling the waves was vital to protecting against foreign aggression
So ruling the worlds seas is a defensive measure?
Yes it actually was. Piracy was a major threat at the time.
Perhaps you should look up the meaning of the verb to rule?"
Perhaps you should read it in the context of the song as opposed to making it up. Who was it that mentioned this song on this thread |

"OK, you’re obviously not going to answer so I will tell you.sometime before 1740. Now, how much of an imperial past did Britain have at that point?
This is actually starting to get boring now.
The discussion is about jingoism in 2020.Does the fact that the song was written 300 years have any difference to that issue?
I have pointed out there is a controversy around the song and posted a link and cited the last night of the proms as clear examples.
Yet you are still rather tediously going on about the origins of the song,as if it has any relevance to today.
You have still not admitted that jingoism exists in this country,when it quite clearly does.
It’s only starting to get boring because you realise once again that you’re out of your depth and talking bollocks. You were the first to introduce Rule Brittania into the thread, claiming it to be a song about British Imperialism. At the time the words were penned, Britain had colonies in the Americas, it was 50 years before Australia was discovered, some 140 years before Britain colonised Africa. So that’s the relevance or are you too stupid to realise it?
Go and do some proper research into the meaning of the song instead of the soundbites you pick up as you google.
Britain is no more guilty of jingoism that most other countries. Have you ever been abroad?
Has every other country in the world had an empire?
Have you lived in every single other country on the planet?"
Do some research on empires throughout history. You might be surprised. |

Just done quick search that was in alphabetical order and got to 20 empires for just A and B. This does not include dynasties |

Absolutely. Linus seems to think that Britain was the only country ever to have an Empire. History is not his strong point. |

At the time the words were penned, Britain had colonies in the Americas, it was 50 years before Australia was discovered, some 140 years before Britain colonised Africa. So that’s the relevance or are you too stupid to realise it?
Go and do some proper research into the meaning of the song instead of the soundbites you pick up as you google.
Britain is no more guilty of jingoism that most other countries. Have you ever been abroad?
Just done quick search that was in alphabetical order and got to 20 empires for just A and B. This does not include dynasties
Absolutely. Linus seems to think that Britain was the only country ever to have an Empire. History is not his strong point."
he knows Britain wasn’t the only country but it’s fashionable to slag yr own of now they seem to like been ashamed he is Corbyns biggest fan after all lol |

"OK, you’re obviously not going to answer so I will tell you.sometime before 1740. Now, how much of an imperial past did Britain have at that point?
This is actually starting to get boring now.
The discussion is about jingoism in 2020.Does the fact that the song was written 300 years have any difference to that issue?
I have pointed out there is a controversy around the song and posted a link and cited the last night of the proms as clear examples.
Yet you are still rather tediously going on about the origins of the song,as if it has any relevance to today.
You have still not admitted that jingoism exists in this country,when it quite clearly does.
