@eLeft6 Oh yes we fully understand. We have seen the EU's constant threats and dirty tricks over the past 4 years. We refuse to be controlled by the unelected in Brussels. What you fail to understand is the UK makes up 20% of the EU's trade. Even the EU admits that when the UK leaves the EU and stops funding the EU's budget in January 2021 it will be the financial equivalent of at least 20 of the EU 27 leaving the block overnight. All those countries that have been taking more out of the EU's budget than they have paid in, will become Net contributors next year. The UK already has 57-58 NEW trade deals agreed around the world (within the last 2 years) without paying a single penny/cent to Brussels. Yes many of them are a basic copy and paste of the deals the UK had while it was paying into the EU. Yes the EU tried to apply pressure to stop the UK doing those trade deals. So ask yourself WHY is your country paying Billions into Brussels slush fund? When you could easily copy those trade deals and pay nothing to Brussels and do your own trade deals that suit your own country without EU restrictions. Please dont try and tell me the EU is a power house, when the combined EU's 27 countries Net exports are only 33 Billion a year. The UK spends 43 Billion on German built cars every year.

@bertrandmarion1927 We have no interest in being part of the Single Market. We asked from a Canada style deal. Otherwise it's NO DEAL & WTO.

@bertrandmarion1927 Yes and the EU wants access to the UK. We will still not be controlled by the Level Playing Field or the ECJ. The UK will be an independent country that wont be controlled by the EU from next year.

@NoName-hg6cc As per usual your totally WRONG. The UK now has 58 NEW trade deals. Without paying a single penny into Brussels slush fund. The UK completed the Singapore trade deal and signed the Canada trade deal today. In the next few days the Vietnam trade deal should be ready as well.

@shinigamirikko3507 WOW you really are deluded. The EU offered a Canada type deal while the WA was being negotiated and then withdrew the offer. Now the EU is in a mess and your failed attempt to defend the EU leaders is laughable. Yes a Genuine Free Trade Agreement negotiated in good faith would work for both sides. No country in the world would agree to the EU's bonkers demands. LOL The EU moves the goal posts on a weekly basis.

@shinigamirikko3507 Do you understand the UK has a trade deal agreed with Canada??? The UK has agreed NEW trade deals with 57 countries in less than 2 years. Worth 200 Billion. Plus there are many more trade deals to follow next year. https://www.gov.uk/guidance/uk-trade-agreements-with-non-eu-countries#trade-agreements-from-1-january-2021
