Stop being silly. Russia and China don't have an fta with EU, so no, they don't need to pay into the EU or accept freedom of movement. Lol. But norway does!

Time then I suppose for Spain to deport British gangster from the Costa del sol back to where they came from. All I am saying, you want a Norway deal, then you need to accept what Norway accepted. They seem happy with it.

It wouldn't come close to the same deal because of course Norway accepts free movement and pays into the EU, and follows EU legislation. All things the UK no longer wishes to do on the back of some dream sovereignty.

That's the German vaccine right?

I think wenglishboy missed the rise from 25p to 39p and is a bit miffed now. Looking forward to the next leg up.

A lot more people employed in automotive and financial to bite back if the deal goes sour. Wouldn't worry so much about a few fishers.

How is it a dictatorship if it needs all 27 members to approve a trade deal??

So it is better to be Turkey, an underdeveloped country in a dictatorship, than to be the UK. Now I am confused.

You want to be like turkey? Turkey is a developing economy. Of course its growing at a faster rate than developed economies.

Totally agree. The UK economy will be devastated, all over some fish we won't even be able to sell anymore and all those poor UK fishermen becoming unemployed. But worry not, frost and Boris know the UK can't afford no deal and will compromise. Good for Lloyd's too.

UK can't afford a no deal. Boris will cave and sell it as a victory to daily mail readers. No use for all the fish if the EU isn't buying any. It's a miniscule proportion of our gdp anyway. Only 12000 fishers employed. They will all loose there jobs without a market to sell to. UK sold their quotas to European trawlers years ago.

Quite right. Really susprised the EU have put up with our rubbish for so long. They should walk away and cut the UK loose. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink.

I am hoping for a deal that ties us as closely as possible to EU rules. As a safety net against our own governments incompetence.

Churchill wanted everyone including the UK to be a vassal state for Germany? Are you listening to yourself?

Takes some to claim credit for others vaccine by approving it with their own emergency protocol. Pure marketing, and I seriously hope the UK have carried out the necessary safety check which the other 27 are doing. Worth waiting for.

Rubbish. I have heard it from German friends, they are Europeans first, Germans second. The EU has been good to Germany, the UK could have reaped the same benefits but always chose not to.

Cookoo, where did you hear that Belgium and Germany were miffed? If they were they could implement the same emergency EU protocol that the UK has used and start throwing the stuff on the street without getting it checked out properly. Especially the Germans because they developed the stuff with pfizer

Nothing in medicine is safe. UK have somehow rushed this through on an emergency protocol without the right checks and tests. Now UK citizens will be the guninie pigs for other countries.

Then why are you invested in Lloyd's? Really think you are going to move the Lloyd's share price with your little deramp?

Probably better to look at the vaccine throughly to make sure it's safe before giving it to every man and his dog.
Reasonable approach by the EU and US. Madness to rush this through. People need have faith in the process otherwise uptake will be low.
