What the UK wants from the EU ? - Brexit Update 1 - Transitional Phase

BBC News: Reports " UK chief negotiator calls for 'realism' from EU "

Lets Get Real:

The UK has to be FIRM with the EU, the EU is trying to treat the UK like a former colony, we might be a lot of things, but we are not a colony of the EU.  The two main sticking points are fish in our waters and and a level playing field, that means that the EU would have a say on UK supporting business after the COVID - 19 pandemic.  The UK is a Sovereign State, our waters and thus our fish, that is not open for debate, while a sovereign has a say on what business it supports.   These endless talks are going nowhere, time to cut bait and to tell the EU, that we are going for a NO DEAL BREXIT, also that the EU will get half of the promised divorce bill.  The German tax paper will not be happy if it has to support the other weak nations of the EU.  MONEY TALKS.

Clarification on the new bill on the Brexit Deal - Brexit Update 3 - Transitional Phase

Guardian: Reports " A No 10 spokesman said the measures were “limited and reasonable” and insisted the UK would remain compliant with the Northern Ireland protocol – despite anger from Brussels and Dublin..

Lets Get Real:

It will be interesting to see tomorrow the new additional clarification to the Brexit withdrawal bill, will it be MINOR  and LIMITED TO CLARIFICATIONS of the agreed deal or will it blow up the deal.  If the EU delegation walks out of the expected meeting then the clarification is nor minor, we shall also see what the Irish Republic think of the new bill, they are most affected by the new bill.  If the EU does walk out then the UK can go for a straight NO DEAL BREXIT, and cut giving any money to the EU to pay for the retirement  schemes for former Euro officials.  It has been postulated that the UK could cut the divorce bill in half, the returning money could be used to look after the elderly in the future and to help with the COVID - 19 costs.  On a whole a NO DEAL BREXIT looks good to this blog.

EU and Ireland stunned by new override of the Withdrawal Agreement - Brexit Update 2 - Transitional Phase

Sky News: Reports " Boris Johnson is reportedly planning new legislation that would override key parts of last year's EU withdrawal agreement. "

Lets Get Real:

No 10 has really placed a cat among the pigeons, the HARD REMAINERS want to keep close to the EU, thus this morning's news was full that the UK was about to override the Withdrawal Agreement, No 10 has come back and stated that the changes are minor limited clarifications.   The EU and Dublin has blow a casket and are expecting the WORSE, it almost make you want to believe the Government will do something drastic, just to show the EU who has all the Aces in this relationship.  One can expect the BBC, Sky News, Guardian, The Times, even the Daily Mail to be worried, the Mail has a new editor, ( he is pro remain ).   One waits to see how the EU reacts tomorrow when the bill is published.

15th October DEADLINE for Brexit Talks and limited clarifications for Withdrawal Agreement - Brexit Update 1 - Transitional Phase

BBC News: Reports " The government will introduce a new law that could change post-Brexit customs plans with the EU - but No 10 denied it would "tear up" the existing treaty.  "

Lets Get Real:

Already the REMAINERS at the BBC News AND Sky News are in a flap over the withdrawal agreement, they ran with the story that the the UK Government was about to overwrite the withdrawal agreement deal, the actual truth is that the Government is simple going to do minor limited clarifications to the WA.  The main worry for the HARD REMAINERS should be the deadline set by the PM, the EU has to deal by the 15th of October or the UK is OUT as of the December 31st 2020.  The PM has been clear, a no deal Brexit is better than a BAD DEAL.  Let's see how the EU reacts tomorrow to the bill bought by the Government.  In this view of this blog, the UK Government has given the EU to much time, thus their view that the UK will fold, this is not the May Government.

Our Fish and Our Waters - Brexit Update 2 - Transitional Phase

Daily Mail: Reports " 'Hands off OUR waters!': MPs hit back at Michel Barnier after he delivers fishing rights ultimatum and ‘Cod Wars 2.0' threatens to derail Brexit trade deal talks "

Lets Get Real:

The talks between the UK and the EU is becoming a FARCE, the EU still thinks it has the best cards, WRONG, there is a new Government in the UK and PM May is gone back to the backbenches.   The EU has to learn, its UK waters and our bloody fish, if they want concessions from us they need to give us what we WANT, and that is not open to debate.  The UK decides on our fish and how much support we give to industry, if the EU does not like it they can jump off the white cliffs of Dover.   The EU has to learn that a members has LEFT THEM, and we can always refuse to give the divorce money to the EU, let's see how long the EU stands with Barnier, they need our money and the Germans do not wan to pay more in to the EU. 

Did POTUS call American Dead due to War " LOSERS " ? - US Presidential Election

Sky News: Reports " Donald Trump denies calling dead US soldiers 'losers' and 'suckers'...The US president allegedly asked aides: "Why should I go to that cemetery? It's filled with losers," according to a report.  "

Lets Get Real:

The US Presidential Election has gone dirty and fast, the trouble with the above alleged quotes is that it sounds like TRUMP, the fact that Trump has to say deny saying these words show that he knows that this could be the final nail in his political coffin.  The American people honour its dead soldiers, and the thought that the above could be true would make JFK and Reagan turn in their graves.  It says something about the US, that you have a racist narcissist on one side and a slowly losing it candidate on other, it can be argued that the US voter wants another Reagan and and has ended up with these two candidates, sad say for the US.

Haulage Firms and Brexit - Brexit Update 1 - Transitional Phase

BBC News: Reports " Haulage firms are warning of "significant gaps" in UK border plans for the end of the Brexit transition period on 31 December.  "

Lets Get Real:

With anything new, there will be problems, so the haulage firms will have to get the paperwork done when the process is completed.  Thus far the UK and the EU does not have a DEAL, thus we are waiting to see who blinks first, the PM has the support of the UK voter in 2016 and 2019 and there is nothing like blaming the French and Germans if there is NO DEAL.  It won't be new to the voter.  It looks like we have passed the first wave of COVID - 19, the question is will we get a 2nd wave during the winter and what will the costs to the economy with double whammy of Brexit and COVID - 19.   This blog thinks we will do a deal with the EU, a bare bones deal, let's see what LONDON and BRUSSELS come up with, will fear force them to move.
