Well done onlyif. We were first to approve a vaccine developed and manufactured in the EU. Wow we are great.

Paul, UK used an EU law to fast track vaccine approval. Any EU country can decide to do this, they just chose not to.

Ah the fish. That rule is there to prevent overfishing and applies to all European countries.
But the joke is that UK fishermen have sold almost 50% of their quota to EU trawlers. I guess they didn't even want to catch their full quota.

What rules are being imposed on you that annoy you so much. Would genuinely like to know. No brexiteer has ever been able to name any.

Yes, mid 20's seems about right to me too. If lower on overreaction it might be a genuine opportunity. Maybe not though because I can see our economy seriously damaged for many years to come, and will likely never keep pace with the EU again.

"I hope that it doesn’t get more difficult for German cars/machines/tools and french wine to get into the U.K."

They will still get into the country. We will still buy their stuff. Only we will pay tariffs on them and wait longer to get them. But we have brought that upon ourselfs, no one else to blame.

The share price is in the process of factoring in a no deal, but where is the bottom. IMHO it could be 25p, because it always drops lower than you think it possibly could.

If you are so sure it is still the will of the majority to leave the EU then a vote is the best way to confirm. My theory is that the mojority never did want to leave, but unlike the brexiters they couldn't be bothered to go out and vote because they thought remain would win anyway. For that tragic mistake I do blame my fellow remainers. The brexiters were more motivated to go out and be heard, but they are not the majority.

Judging by the collapse in the share price we will fail mightily without a trade deal, as expected. I reduced by 2/3 early this week. Glad I did so. I will have cash to buy back when this has hit the mid 20's

Let have another democratic vote now that we know the disastrous consequences. Very much doubtthe leave vot would cross the 30% mark now.

I wonder who is going to bail us out? The EU won't help us now when the **** hits the fan. It will be the imf again I guess.

Dire if tonight goes badly and UK doesn't secure a deal with the UK. Very dire.

Let's hope EU grants trade deal. Else I hope for a hard brexit punishing poor brexiters the hardest.
Canada deal is 20 billion, far short of 700 billion with EU. But brexit voters don't understand numbers. That's why the 250million per week left such an impression, even though its a drop in the ocean.

Judging by the pound/euro there will be a deal. I bet this showdown dinner with von der leyen is choreography through and through.

EU employment rules would be a very good thing. Imagine your employer cut cut your holiday allowance in half, or sack you on the spot for no reason. The rules are a benefit to UK employees, but could be lost in a no deal regression.

Hmm the problem with the travel sector is that its going to need its own shot in the arm soon. Don't get me wrong, I have done well out of TUI and ezj, but 8 months of inactivity is going to need some rights issues I. E dilution to restore working capital.

Yawn.....old news.

No deal brexit is an unnecessary pain though. Covid was unavoidable.
Why subject the population to economic and social pain for no good reason.

EU might not get our cash contributions anymore, but they will also leave behind a huge expense. The UK has always been a drag on them. They will now be able to move ahead, leaving us in the dust.

It's the outcome and conclusion of the brexit process that counts ie deal, not great but better than nothing, or no deal, chaos, impending doom, wto without any preparation.
