As you are here, Ninfan, could you give some examples of how Britain has so far benefitted from the Brexit process,

We haven’t left yet...

you have no idea what the deal said do you

yes, it says we get to sign trade deals in the interim

...<i> the United Kingdom may <u>negotiate, sign and ratify</u> international agreements entered into in its own capacity in the areas of exclusive competence of the Union...</i>

perhaps comprehension isn’t your strong point?

And that was always going to be no issue.  ~Can you tell us what has been gained from the year of pusturing and infighting?  This is the deal available a year ago and may has dropped every single red line.

I would rather we stood up and took our natural place in Europe as Leaders.

Your idea of leadership is to be the Captain of the Titanic?

Can you tell us what has been gained from the year of pusturing and infighting?

About as much has been gained from a year and a half of shouting “it was advisory” and “we demand a second referendum”....but enough about the Labour Party.

ps. It appears they’ve decided that to divert you from their posturing and infighting over Europe and worrying about what hat Jeremy is wearing on Newsnight, what you need is a nice bit of Billy Bragg:

And how long do trade deals take ninfan, will any be complete in the next 5-10 years after Brexit?

Your deflection from Edu's actual question speaks volumes about you, but we all know what you're like anyway.  Perhaps comprehension of a question is not your strong point.

Let's place bets on how many trade deals are signed during this transition period. What's your estimate, ninfan?

On the trade deal front French journos are talking about a Canada style deal rather than Switzerland or Norway. Have a look at that deal and see how you like it. I can't see the UK getting anything better as I can't see the UK being willing to pay the level of pro-capita payments Switzerland and Norway make.

Here is a nice table from a US perspective, 45 month average isn't so bad but how many do the UK have to complete and with the shitshow of a government and Liam Fox in charge, how much extra time is that going to take?  Bets ninfan, how many do you reckon we can do and how long will they take? Does time matter or just the fact we CAN sign agreements make you happy and you don't care how long it really takes?

Trade Deal Time Frame

I expect future trade deals will be signed much more quickly since they are remedial action and not new action.  They will be needed to keep existing arrangements going.  Whether they will happen quickly enough is yet to be seen.   Companies are run by people, and it won't take much for them to think '**** this shit' and shop elsewhere.  And those elsewhere competitors will be jumping all over customers of UK companies.

I also don't expect the trade deals to be favourable to us.

see if the presenter is looking very clear in the same image. good grief. i’m afraid i find it laughable how those on the right and those on the left ‘both’ say that the bbc is biased against themi find it laughable how those on the right and those on the left ‘both’ say that the bbc is biased against them

I find it funny both sides see bias but what worse is when someone is presented with an image denies its been doctored, tries to say other bits have been doctored and then imagines they do it to everyone

Given the kremiln backdrop its not hard to work out what  the image manipulation is for - one does not even need to imagine.

Aye the hats look identical in every way and there is no way to play spot the difference

You used to actually make points rather than just look dumb as you frantically attack " lefties"- Its verging on obsessive compulsive behaviour

Could you at least make decent points or do decent digs as this is very poor on both counts. Where is your mojo dude? Have you lost a muse or something?

I would say try harder but you cannot do that, how about try better to troll?

The UK might leave the EU but it looks more likely that it will still obey EU rules and will pay a higher price for the privilege.

Go Brexit !

Straw man, you’re the only person who has used the word “doctored” rather than photoshopped.

you might want to recall how upset you got about the exact meaning of “phonetapped” a few months ago 😉

I don’t need to buy anything in the gift shop to exit.

Neither does the UK, hence why Hard Brexit remains an option. Some of us would be happy to just jump out the museum window I’m sure, but doing it to avoid having to go through the gift shop seems excessive, doesn’t it?

Actually, given that we're talking about the BBC, "doctored" is a more appropriate term: photoshop is of course a brand name - other photographic manipulation software is available.

But back on topic - have you any idea how pathetic you look trying to split hairs on a widely accepted synonym?

They colour washed the picture, nobody altered the hat to make it “look more Russian” the BBC have confirmed this and Petapixel article verifies it.

The corbynistas claim was false, the worst they can claim is that by putting Corbyn next to the Kremlin the BBC were suggesting that someone who:

had a decades long flirtation with totalitarian left-wing regimes,

held closed door meetings with known soviet spies,

had his own agent name with a soviet intelligence service,

took holidays behind the iron curtain and

was employed by Russia Today

Might have a soft spot for the Russians...

The BBC are such beasts 😄

Colour washing makes it look more Russian. It's removed the detail and the result is it looks more Russian. Ask any primary schol kid to take a look but not a politicised adult.

I find your dislike of things Russian bizarre, Ninfan, Brexit was after all a Russian-propaganda-big-data victory.

look can we please get back on topic about how badly the government are doing regards Brexit

Michael Gove just took a pasting in parliament over the betrayal of UK fishing industry as we have now lost our input into EU fishing quotas until 2021 when the next brexit betrayal will kick the fishermen in the nuts

Yeah, that black hat looks so much more black now...

Sorry Comrade, Its putting it on top of a Russian stooge that makes it look more Russian 😉

look can we please get back on topic about how badly the government are doing regards Brexit

We just got closer to Brexit, how is that doing badly?

Michael Gove just took a pasting in parliament over the betrayal of UK fishing industry as we have now lost our input into EU fishing quotas until 2021 when the next brexit betrayal will kick the fishermen in the nuts

LOL, complaining that we won’t have ‘input’ into quotas - which will continue to exist only while we are still in the EU. Oh noes! (instead you should be reflecting on why the EU are making such a big deal of fishing when, according to remainers “the UK doesn’t have any bargaining chips”)

As I said before, what we see is remainers clutching at straws and casting around for upset Brexies who in reality are cheering this latest step in the long walk to freedom all the way 😄

So not only did you not read the deal that May agreed re trade deals, you dont know what we just gave away re fishing rights, either 😎

you can google it (other generic terms for seraching the internet are available)

Weve just agreed to extend our time in the EU until 2021.......

Its all going exactly as the brexies planned right 😉

well engaging with the troll worked just as well as usual - the strangest thing is how proud and pleased he is with himself to type such utter drivel/ lies. I am off to photoshop an image of ninfan  he will accept is not doctored. Anyone got a Dunces hat I can use for the process ?

Back to an actual debate Yes Kimbers  May capitulated on her red lines yet again,.

I initially thought that image was doctored and that it didn’t look good for the BBC, but looking again I <span style="text-decoration: underline;">think</span> it’s an illusion caused by the horizontal line in the “Russian” picture that intersects just below the crown of the hat? The individual lines on the outline all look the same to me.

We have been here before good people of brextannia, don't you worry the Rees Mogg desire for a de industrialised Britain where our tariff free goods will be so cheap you can easily afford a new pair of shoes for the kids out of your benefits/minimum wage.

Tariff free industrial chicken for the masses made in the US of A and our Farmers will sell their mega expensive free range lamb to India by the ship load...(not sure what the Fishing fleet is going to do as that's actually covered by another law but I am sure it's going to be great)

Just think how far that £ will go! and an Aldi and Lidl on every corner, you won't need an expensive German car you can just walk for your shopping.

Just like the 1950s....

They (current govt) are morons but actually I am enjoying the freak show. The bit I am looking forward to the most is when the poor people transition to piss poor people.... for me i shall simply transition  from well off to moderately well off (like a lot of people on here) however the Rees Moggs of the world will be able to spread their wealth and increase it exponentially.

It's a brave new world.... makes you think of Sir Francis Drake plundering the globe "pirates of the free trade deal"

So you want way more food problems that we have no chance of influencing or rectifying?

Good choice there

I'm with Ninfan on this. I think importing lots of cheap food from America is a great idea. It will put countless farmers out of business which will:

- give them time to think about whether Brexit was such a good idea after all

- means I can buy a nice second home in the country side for a knock-down price

- means I can have delicious beef grown in a massive barn spewing out effluent into the surrounding countryside rather than the annoying tough stringy stuff we grow here that's been raised outside in a "field".

Seems like a win all round.

So bad things can occasionally happen in a heavily regulated market now and then, just imagine how many more new, and more interesting diabolical things can be free to happen if we deregulated from EU standards!

And no one will want to buy anything from us either as we'll be peddling known untrustworthy products.

Yey!

Not all farmers voted brexit

Also if your eating stringy crap beef then you need to shop better or cook better

That article is poppycock, the UK has already implemented everything required by the directive and in a number of areas we acted unilaterally years before the directive was even a gleam in the EU's eye.  We have been one of the main pushers of this initiative.

Likewise the EU has just announced a disclosure regime for tax schemes, we have had one for over 10 years.
