  1. No need to reply. You've said enough to make your position clear. But who are you? Are you even in the EU? I don't think so, as you have little idea of how these things are managed. How could you? It's never happened before. And as you aren't anyone in the EU political structure, your assertions count for little.

  2. Not really, Ivan. It will get through, and will be around far longer than your boss.

  3. Nonsense.

  4. Why don't you take your own advice and let things play out? Instead of hysterically misrepresenting what's actually going on, why sit back and see what happens? Why the fuss? Calm down dear.

  5. Obviously, your knowledge of what was agreed when we left the EU is lacking with regard to the financial agreements. And depending on what basis our relationship to the EU is, any costs involved would be negotiated then.

  6. You might think that is the case, but you don't get to make that decision do you?

  7. Once British Steel was sold, their fate was sealed. Brexit occurred years before that happened, and arguably selling it to Tata just drove the coffin nails home. The problem is demand for steel in the UK was not enough to support production at Port Talbot. That isn't surprising as industry accounts for far, far less GDP than Services in the UK. And the Tories had no interest in industrial policy. Moreover, it's hard to justify as the Chinese are flooding markets with their product. So Port Talbot works was doomed. There's no turning the clock back. But what we do need to return to is a more mixed economy where we have more industry. But, the problem is that government is cash strapped, and the political will to do it is AWOL. If we can't even keep our public services going, how can we find money to subsidise industry? We need to return to an economy less dependent on extracting value, to one where investing in industry is far greater than it is now. So we can vote for Tories or Reform, and we have to educate our leaders not to listen only to multimillionaires. Yep, it's going to be a long and hard journey. Right now we need a defence industry resurgence, but the money has to come from somewhere.

  8. So Starmer won't be alive in 15 years. Did you run out of fingers and toes calculating that?

  13. Lol. OK Ivan.

  14. That's your opinion, but as you aren't the President of the European Commission, it doesn't count for much, does it? Starmer isn't coming to see you, is he? So why not let things play out as they will? Or are you desperate for no reset of our relationship at all? And it's really funny, but Turkey has a relationship with the EU, but you never mention that. It has no Free Movement, so EU contributions, no aacess to EU services, and only minimal following of EU laws and ECJ adjudication. That's because Turkey formed a Customs Union with the EU. But you never mention that agreement. I wonder why? Turkey doesn't need the Euro or Schengen to get that. I think you don't know as much as you think you do.

  15. Snubbed him? Lol. You wish. You obviously don't know anything how these things work. Calm down dear.

  16. I am minded of the situation when Australia and Moldova both objected to the UK Schedules of tarrifs in the WTO. The WTO operate unanimity as well. But Britain sorted that out and got their schedules accepted, and signed trade deal with Australia later. So, what does that tell you? You can't fortell the future, and problems are there to be solved.

  17. Yes, Ivan.

  18. Yes, Ivan. How's the Bot Farm nowadays?
