Apparently, it is a *_"low grade trade deal"_* anyway.. so why are we running around in circles chasing it, and paying billions in the process???
*WTO now, and ditch the Withdrawal Agreement too.*

Now if you only give us a little more time, a little more money and of course you utmost respect then in about 10 years time and £100 billion we the EU will stop treating you like peasants after all we demand the best from you !!

Meaningless waffle, what movement are the EU going to make then Ursula? What compromises are you going to make over fisheries? What compromises are you going to make over regulatory alignment? The EU think all the ‘movement’ needs to come from the U.K. if they keep this up the ‘movement’ they will see is the U.K. leaving without any deal and that means no ‘divorce’ cash and no access to our waters and tariffs for everyone which will damage both the U.K. and the EU. Still she’s not got anything to worry about, it’s not as if she’s elected and has to answer to anyone is it.

Bollocks you are talking crap, you are the ones who are causing the delays and stalling to try and keep us tied in with the block, on your bike lady. Do one we have had enough of your tactics and rubbish playing fields we have our own and they are in tip top condition as we all are.
