"Time and time again we've been told by remainers that the EU are totally United on Brexit. If there was ever any unity it has gone now because Spain is threatening to vote against the Theresa May/EU botched deal. Spain want it renegotiated because of Gibraltar. The French are also kicking up a fuss over fishing rights in the deal, it's very clear now that EU unity was nothing more than an illusion. If the EU allow Spain and France to reopen negotiations on these things then surely it's possible for Theresa May to reopen negotiations on the toxic Irish backstop which will cause her to lose a parliamentary vote on her Brexit deal in the House of Commons. EU unity my arse! " Spain only wants clarity on the proposal text that any negotiations on the future of Gibraltar are only between Spain & the UK. but you knew that Centy but you thought it would make a good anti EU thread. The unfortunate fact is there has been EU unity for the last 2 years regarding BREXIT but so called brexiteers here & the UK government have had none what so ever. I'd say "nice try" but it was a total failure to be honest. | |||

United Europe, Europe is United. "The refugee issue is bad, but if the EU had imposed upon us to take hundreds / thousands then you'd of been up in arms about that. Other than machine gunning them all down I don't know what was best to help them, do you ? Obviously no one really knew what to do with the flood of refugees But if you want to class that as major crash in unity then again, crack on | |||

"It sounds like... Spain wants clarity of text, some in the UK want to start negotiations from the start again, quite a difference." plus remember this agreement is only up to dec 2020.... it does not look at any arrangements beyond then.... so what uk fishermen have to take into consideration is that they may get their quota;'s back... but the EU would be well within their rights to charge WTO tariffs on it.... the fishermen want the quota's without the penalty of the tariffs... because thats what the leave campaign and farage promised them .... and as per usual they were sold a lie they have been trying to backtrack on!!! so bearing in mind 80% of fish caught by uk fishermen is then sold to EU countries.... its weighing up one against the other....... | |||

Let me remind you that after we voted to leave the EU told us that the EU position was that if any remaining member had an issue with us the other EU states would back them (that's why the ROI has had a veto on any agreement and we have been forced to back down at every point on the ROI/NI border and regulatory alignment issue. Now that that is sorted(ish) it's Spain's turn and they did say that they would require a settlement acceptable to them or they would block any deal 2 years ago. Now you can crow as Spain now turns the screw on us claiming that there is no EU unity, but I expect you will be seeing Mr Barnier now shrugging and saying 'whats your proposal Mrs May/UK?' Just to be clear this is what happens when anyone other than the USA or China try to push around the largest trading block (and single market economy) in the world. And let me remind you now that last year the maybot and BoJo were too busy to have the FO arrange visas for a Moldavian trade delegation and that at the time the Moldavian president said that he would make the UK pay for that insult. Now Moldova are blocking (as is their right) all attempts for the UK to vary our WTO schedule just like Spain are now beginning to turn the screw on us. The it will be the turn of the French over fishing rights. And we are the ones who will have no choice but to back down (yet again). Of course we can always decide to crash out with no deal and refuse to pay the divorce bill. Then the EU can withdraw regulatory cover for civil aircraft and medicines and enforce full border controls and cause this country to grind to a halt in a matter of days.

We've not been 'forced' to back down will, Theresa May has just demonstrated that she has no backbone, she is spineless and doesn't know what a red line means. She's a remainer and she's not up to the job. If we leave on no deal and the EU withdraw regulatory cover for civil aircraft then 2 can play at that game, we can withdraw permission for the EU to use British airspace. I suggest you look on a flight map of the amount of flights the EU uses to fly to America, Canada, etc through British airspace, their airlines won't last very long without those flights. The EU is not the only place we can purchase medicines and food from either we're an island nation and are perfectly placed to ship in medicine, food and other goods from Canada, USA and South America. | |||

I suggest you look on a flight map of the amount of flights the UK fly's through EU Airspace. How long would our Airlines last ? | |||

" Just 2 points Centy: Firstly you just keep telling yourself that it is not us backing down, it is just the maybot is spineless. Secondly, if you bother to take a look at the UK's and the EU's airspace on a map you will notice that although there are 2 paths to international airspace open to the UK, one northen rout to the west/northwest and one southwestern route to the west. There are no routes open to any other points of the compass. And although blocking our airspace to the EU would not be an inconvenience for most EU carriers on transatlantic routes (most use the great circle over Greenland) and don't need to overfly our airspace. The EU blocking our carriers use of EU airspace would destroy virtually all non transatlantic air travel from the UK. Its a question of size and just like the EU's economic size and therefore clout their airspace has a similar overwhelming size advantage if we are stupid enough to fight them. | |||

" It didn't say "leave, no deal, leave" on my ballot paper. But what you forget is that leading members of the Leave campaign said that the day after we vote leave we will be able to negotiate a better trade deal with the EU than the one we have now, because we would hold all the cards. Negotiating a new trade deal with the EU was a commitment made by the Leave campaign so a BREXIT that does not include a new, better trade deal with the EU is not a BREXIT that satisfies referendum mandate nor one that reflects the 'will of the people' expressed in the referendum. BREXITERS can not keep on going back on the commitments made by the Leave campaign and still try to claim that they're fulfilling 'the will of the people'. There is not, and never was, a mandate for a 'no deal' BREXIT. | |||

If the EU allow Spain and France to reopen negotiations on these things then surely it's possible for Theresa May to reopen negotiations on the toxic Irish backstop which will cause her to lose a parliamentary vote on her Brexit deal in the House of Commons.

"Each individual country retains its power, so that the EU agreements are only completed once all states actually agree. Did the UK forget that the timeline for Article 50 was 2 years, meaning that all other countries and the UK would be better to conclude their negotiations a little sooner? The Conservatives should have agreed amongst themselves certain obvious high priority points, such as Irish border etc, before issuing Article 50. Has Spain forgotten that the timeline for article 50 was 2 years? Maybe France has too now they're kicking up a fuss about fishing rights in the deal. Maybe the EU 27 should have concluded their internal negotiations with each other a little sooner. The EU should have agreed amongst themselves certain high priority points, such as Gibraltar and fishing rights, before letting Barnier do a press conference with Donald Tusk saying the Withdrawal text was agreed."  | |||

"It sounds like... Spain wants clarity of text, some in the UK want to start negotiations from the start again, quite a difference. plus remember this agreement is only up to dec 2020.... it does not look at any arrangements beyond then.... so what uk fishermen have to take into consideration is that they may get their quota;'s back... but the EU would be well within their rights to charge WTO tariffs on it.... the fishermen want the quota's without the penalty of the tariffs... because thats what the leave campaign and farage promised them .... and as per usual they were sold a lie they have been trying to backtrack on!!! so bearing in mind 80% of fish caught by uk fishermen is then sold to EU countries.... its weighing up one against the other....... " It's not only up to Dec 2020 though. Even if the date (as yet only written as 20XX in the agreement), is finally put in as 2020, parts of it go way beyond that. | |||

" If we leave on no deal and the EU withdraw regulatory cover for civil aircraft then 2 can play at that game, we can withdraw permission for the EU to use British airspace. I suggest you look on a flight map of the amount of flights the EU uses to fly to America, Canada, etc through British airspace, their airlines won't last very long without those flights. I would hazard a guess it would be easier for EU carriers to fly around UK Airspace than it would be for UK carriers to fly around EU Airspace. I suggest you look on a flight map of the amount of flights the UK fly's through EU Airspace. How long would our Airlines last ? " How long would Ireland last? | |||

"We've not been 'forced' to back down will, Theresa May has just demonstrated that she has no backbone, she is spineless and doesn't know what a red line means. She's a remainer and she's not up to the job.

I suggest you look on a flight map of the amount of flights the EU uses to fly to America, Canada, etc through British airspace, their airlines won't last very long without those flights. The EU is not the only place we can purchase medicines and food from either we're an island nation and are perfectly placed to ship in medicine, food and other goods from Canada, USA and South America. Just 2 points Centy: Firstly you just keep telling yourself that it is not us backing down, it is just the maybot is spineless. Secondly, if you bother to take a look at the UK's and the EU's airspace on a map you will notice that although there are 2 paths to international airspace open to the UK, one northen rout to the west/northwest and one southwestern route to the west. There are no routes open to any other points of the compass. And although blocking our airspace to the EU would not be an inconvenience for most EU carriers on transatlantic routes (most use the great circle over Greenland) and don't need to overfly our airspace. The EU blocking our carriers use of EU airspace would destroy virtually all non transatlantic air travel from the UK. Its a question of size and just like the EU's economic size and therefore clout their airspace has a similar overwhelming size advantage if we are stupid enough to fight them." Where is EU airspace in relation to Ireland? | |||

"Where is EU airspace in relation to Ireland?" ROI (EU) airspace is directly to the west there are 2 gaps in the ring 1 to the north 1 to the south. "Based on this being brought up in this thread .... If EU withdraw regulatory cover, doesn’t this affect all uk carriers to everywhere? Without cover no one recognises their safety ? Why is the eu withdrawing not us walking away ? Doesn’t brexit mean brexit ? Which other parts of Europe are we staying tied to ? Would be remaining be a side deal ? Didn’t we get told this was projectvgear and open skies meant we were okay ?" You are of course correct, the same problem (UK product standards being underwritten and guaranteed by EU standards (CE standards) which will no longer apply from 29/3/19. Shame that our Tory government have wasted the last 2 years when rather than using them to reinstate the BSI and then refund it (of course that would have cost large sums of money which would have put the lie to the whole brexit sham!). | |||

"Don't think Spain,Portugal,Greece,Italy etc would be happy with losing millions of British tourists every year." And that won’t happen because “no deal” is simply stupid on all sides. There will have to be a deal of some description to ensure that (for example) planes keep flying and Airbus doesn’t shut up shop in the U.K. But remember, this is just one sector. There are countless other sectors of industry and our economy that will rely on a deal being in place. | |||

" The rather sad fact is that whilst some people may be forgiven for not actually understanding what “no deal” really means, those in positions of responsibility really out to know better than to be so loose and free with the statement. There will be a deal because to not have one would bring the entire U.K. economy to a stand still. The world revolves on regulatory legal frameworks - food, banking, construction, insurance, aviation, shipping, haulage - you name it - it all needs to have a framework. No deal means no agreements on food quality standards, licensing of people, rights of passage, insurance quality controls - simply everything we take for granted in day to day life is currently regulated by EU law. Once we leave without any deal, the EU wont be able to recognise any standards and frameworks (that we don’t actually yet have anyway yet). Hence the result that with no deal - aircraft won’t fly, imports and exports stop, shipping stops etc etc There will be a deal and the talk of no deal is ridiculous. The line always has been “what deal”, not “no deal” | |||

"Don't think Spain,Portugal,Greece,Italy etc would be happy with losing millions of British tourists every year." I am sure that is true. But this is about aviation operating within legal framework. Both the EU and the UK websites list the legal provisions of the aviation sector that will no longer apply to the UK when it leaves the single. If no successor arrangement is put in place, i.e a “deal”, there is no legal framework in place to allow airlines from one market place to operate in another market place. The technical papers describe these. Without those reciprocal agreements recognising things like licensing, safety, insurance etc, lawyers will be advising airport operators they will be in breach of the law to permit airlines operating outwith a recognised legal framework. That is what no deal means, in this and many other sectors. | |||

EU-US "Openskies" (spoiler.... less flights to the us, because the us govt have offered the uk less landing spots under the new agreement they want to sign)" yes read the technical paper on it.Unless the eu want to be bloody minded and fuck thier people up as well as ours it's as simple as having a reciprocal agreement.

From the caa The CAA and DfT are working with the USA, Canada and Brazil to ensure replacement Bilateral Aviation Safety Agreements are in place post Brexit. These arrangements facilitate the recognition of each others’ safety certificates, and support both international trade and airline operations. Similar agreements are not necessarily needed with other countries: member of the global aviation regulator ICAO provides a degree of confidence in respective safety regimes, and in some cases we agree specific working arrangements with individual states. | |||

Thing is, we already can and do trade with nearly the whole world right now, you're just trotting out the bullshit BREXIT sound bites. We trade on WTO rules with nearly every nation other than nations we have free trade agreements with. The nations we have FTA's with are obviously much better than just WTO trading but it's BREXIT mania that is driving to to WTO rules with every nation we trade with. | |||

Do you really think a brexiteer would have delivered "utopia"? May a convered leaver was probably worse than a leaver initially - until she realised reality! But before you knock May let's look at the brexiteers: FARAGE - talked the talk but knew he was never going to be required to do anything. He did his job so waiting for his £73,000pa pension. He has since admitted that it was all about leaving, nothing to do with the economy. His famous phrase (and most brexiteers ) was "we buy more off them than they buy from us" - of course we'll get a deal German carmakers won't allow it. DAVID DAVIS - man in charge of the negotiations - until recently when May realised how bad he was. It's going to be a hell of a summer - then he rolled over and capitulated! Thick as mince has been used - well his latest remarks -leave no deal - transition period to negotiate an FTA - from the expert handling the brexit negotiations for almost 2 yrs! JRM (Mogg) - talked the talk and when it came to ousting May - struggling to get 47 more names to add to his! He has learnt it's cheap to talk - imagine what deal he would have got. Although he never wanted the responsibility of doing anything other than "sniping". BOJO - failed the leadership challenge after Give said he wasn't leadership material. Went around the world insulting everybody. How to make friends and influence people. GOVE - seen as a back stabbing weasel - making his way back - one for the future! IDS, HOWARD, REDWOOD, FOX - all failed Tory leader's or failed to win the race - say no more. So before you knock May look at your own shower. They promised the undeliverable and now we are ALL going to pay for it. Bravo! | |||

"Time and time again we've been told by remainers that the EU are totally United on Brexit. If there was ever any unity it has gone now because Spain is threatening to vote against the Theresa May/EU botched deal. Spain want it renegotiated because of Gibraltar. The French are also kicking up a fuss over fishing rights in the deal, it's very clear now that EU unity was nothing more than an illusion. If the EU allow Spain and France to reopen negotiations on these things then surely it's possible for Theresa May to reopen negotiations on the toxic Irish backstop which will cause her to lose a parliamentary vote on her Brexit deal in the House of Commons. EU unity my arse! OMG Centy, you really don't understand what is happening at all (even though you (we) were told what the EU's bottom line was 2 years ago. Let me remind you that after we voted to leave the EU told us that the EU position was that if any remaining member had an issue with us the other EU states would back them (that's why the ROI has had a veto on any agreement and we have been forced to back down at every point on the ROI/NI border and regulatory alignment issue. Now that that is sorted(ish) it's Spain's turn and they did say that they would require a settlement acceptable to them or they would block any deal 2 years ago. Now you can crow as Spain now turns the screw on us claiming that there is no EU unity, but I expect you will be seeing Mr Barnier now shrugging and saying 'whats your proposal Mrs May/UK?' Just to be clear this is what happens when anyone other than the USA or China try to push around the largest trading block (and single market economy) in the world. And let me remind you now that last year the maybot and BoJo were too busy to have the FO arrange visas for a Moldavian trade delegation and that at the time the Moldavian president said that he would make the UK pay for that insult. Now Moldova are blocking (as is their right) all attempts for the UK to vary our WTO schedule just like Spain are now beginning to turn the screw on us. The it will be the turn of the French over fishing rights. And we are the ones who will have no choice but to back down (yet again). Of course we can always decide to crash out with no deal and refuse to pay the divorce bill. Then the EU can withdraw regulatory cover for civil aircraft and medicines and enforce full border controls and cause this country to grind to a halt in a matter of days. I wonder if you will be crowing if we end up going down that path Centy? We've not been 'forced' to back down will, Theresa May has just demonstrated that she has no backbone, she is spineless and doesn't know what a red line means. She's a remainer and she's not up to the job. If we leave on no deal and the EU withdraw regulatory cover for civil aircraft then 2 can play at that game, we can withdraw permission for the EU to use British airspace. I suggest you look on a flight map of the amount of flights the EU uses to fly to America, Canada, etc through British airspace, their airlines won't last very long without those flights. The EU is not the only place we can purchase medicines and food from either we're an island nation and are perfectly placed to ship in medicine, food and other goods from Canada, USA and South America. " Ah the graveyard of broken dreams | |||

EU unity my arse! Oh Centaur. No country in Europe is offering us any side deals or fighting ot corner. Not even your beloved right wing "anti-European" governments. We have no friends because we've been rude to them for a very long time and they just don't need to be polite anymore. We don't have that many friends in the WTO either. Australia, New Zealand and the USA are opposing our schedule request let alone Russia and any other country that may want to squeeze something out of us. We are weaker than ever in our history. It must have gone straight over your head that myself and other true brexiters don't want any side deals with anyone in the EU. We just want to leave, no deal, leave, as it said on the ballot paper in the EU referendum which you lost, Leave the EU, are you getting it yet? " You ok hun? | |||

"Are you seriously suggesting that having had 2 years worth of the Brexit debacle being led by a remainer, working with other remainers stabbing brexit in the back, that 15% of those who voted leave will now vote remain?" I don't know, but I would give the country an opportunity to make the final decision on the issue (including stopping the whole process) when it is clear what brexit will look like before it happens, and this seems to be the position of nearly all who are not in the brexit camp and not looking to use brexit to gain power. For some reason none in the brexit camp seem to favour this approach. I wonder why? Could it be that the leave camp know that they would lose any vote on the issue now that the country realises how dangerous the whole idea is? | |||

I am no rocket scientist but surely anyone can see that a small business (the UK) will pay more proportionately for its goods than a large business (the EU). I suppose the only way around this is to become somewhere like Gibraltar where the overall tax levied is 3 per cent and there is no vat but then again all that does is provide cheap shopping for the Spanish and financial services for some quite dubious companies so maybe that’ll be ok in London and the South East but perhaps the rest of us might suffer. The good news though is that with global warming we will become a holiday destination but then I suppose we might be a bit stuck if we don’t have all the Poles, Ukrainians, Bulgarians who clean our hotels and kp in our kitchens. Gosh will that mean we have to make all our kids stop doing degrees and learn how to pick spuds and clean loos if they ever want a real job? Perhaps the era of liberal education and free healthcare is coming to a close and the working classes can go back to being serfs to the local lord of the manor (JRM). I’m disgusted by it all. | |||

"But still the EU countries are not as divided as the Conservative party of the U.K. or labour " . Or quite a lot of families in our country ,,, but it wasn't the EU or the Labour Party who got us on to this mess ,,, it was the Conservative party who kept telling us about their long term economic plan despite having no plan what so ever for a leave vote in their own referendum , | |||

(i would put up the link in the times where it was published.... but it is behind a firewall so you wouldn't be able to read it!)
p.s clue is in the title of the letter....‘German friends’ urge Britain to stay in EU | |||

"Lets not forget the EU keeps Europe stable and peaceful. Not forgetting the active civil war in Ukraine. The number of Eastern European countries rejecting refugee and immigration policies. United Europe indeed.
It really was despicable how the EU destabilised Ukraine, encouraging a coup against a democratically elected government there. Trying to tempt Ukraine to join the EU was a deliberate provocation against Russia. The EU has a lot to answer for, for the conflict that happened there. "The UK was a main leader in the Eu So you are clearly pointing a finger at the UK and would want them to answer ? Also I'm a passionate remainer DO NOT use silly generalisations I would not suggest the eu is United and in agreement, a damn good reason not to leave as negotiating any scenario better than what we have, from outside was and is always going to be futile if not impossible compared to from the strength within | |||

The splits are there now (as evidenced today) but they are managing to keep a lid on it in public at the moment. I do expect it to happen in public in mid March and get worse towards the end of March as the UK gets closer to leaving the EU without a deal. It's the EU's modus operandi to leave things to the last minute, it's just how the EU does it's business. The last week before March 29th the splits in the EU with regard to Brexit will become very public and very vocal. | |||

"Time and time again we've been told by remainers that the EU are totally United on Brexit. If there was ever any unity it has gone now because Spain is threatening to vote against the Theresa May/EU botched deal. Spain want it renegotiated because of Gibraltar. The French are also kicking up a fuss over fishing rights in the deal, it's very clear now that EU unity was nothing more than an illusion. If the EU allow Spain and France to reopen negotiations on these things then surely it's possible for Theresa May to reopen negotiations on the toxic Irish backstop which will cause her to lose a parliamentary vote on her Brexit deal in the House of Commons. EU unity my arse! " Indeed, fuck em! | |||

"27 countries signed up unanimously to the deal on the table. May cannot get her party, parliament or the country to back it. In fact, no-one can even tell you what the UK wants. Remind me again who is disunited?" The cognitive dissonance on this thread is strong. A deal was agreed two months ago between the EU and the British government. The EU hasnt moved an inch from that agreement whereas the British are flailing around not knowing what their position is from one day the next. We've become the world's laughing stock. Though curiously that's a positive for many leavers it would seem. | |||

"And so just one day after Poland indicated they'd like to see the backstop limited to 5 years, another split appeared in the EU today, this time between Rep of Ireland and the EU commission. For months Leo Varadker and the Irish have been saying whatever happens (even in a no deal) we can't accept a return to a hard border on the island of Ireland (and usually they would be backed up by the EU on this). Today though the EU Commission changed tack and said that a no deal Brexit would mean a hard border being necessary in Ireland. The EU commission is basically telling the Republic of Ireland it is nothing more than a colony of the EU, and a hard border will be installed there at the instruction of the EU commission in Brussels, to protect the EU's external border, whether Leo, Dublin or Ireland like it or not. " Things are looking better? What do you think? | |||

" I read a different spin, namely deal or no deal, the Ireland issue will remain, and negotiations about customs unions etc wont disappear. As co guarantors if the Belfast agreement the uk can’t walk away just because it is difficult. So voting against Mays deal just because you don’t like the backstop isn’t going to solve anything. The messy bit of the divorce is sticking with us. | |||
