The 2 Metre Rule under Question? - COVID - 19- Health/Economy


Lets Get Real:

The UK economy has become a service economy over the years, the pubs and restaurants will find it hard to do the 2 metre rule, also some EU countries are imposing a 1 metre to 1.5 Metre distance.   The PM should take a tough decision and scrap the 2 metre rule, that would save the service industries and save jobs.  If there are 3.5 million unemployed, it will be a major shock to the economic system and to the young starting out in the workforce.   Those that recall the 1980s, know it was a tough period, but then we had a great PM in Lady Thatcher, will PM Boris be able to match Churchill and Thatcher, on truly hopes so, otherwise the UK will be in big trouble. 

New Push need for a UK/EU Trade deal - Brexit Update 1 - Transitional Talks


Lets Get Real:

Thus both the UK and EU want a new push for a trade deal between the UK and the EU, and what did the talks today do, NOT MUCH, just window dressing, as if both sides are running down the clock, they want to be seen to try to do something, the main areas of disconnect are still there from OUR FISH to the role of the ECJ.  It would be in the interest of the EU, and in this case, France and Germany to get a deal, the UK is in a major recession anyway due to COVID - 19, thus the damage will be done to the economy will not be that great, this might not be the case with France and Germany.   Thus they will not want to damage their economies with high trade taxes on imports to the UK.  Also the UK voter wants OUT, they want to end the freedom of movement, the end of the ECJ in UK law.  The next month will be interesting, if the EU does not move the UK at the end of August should say we are going for a NO DEAL BREXIT.
