Brexit Deal

[philw696]

The tax is applied on profits, but with Brexit looming I know a few who would be satisfied selling at cost, just to get their original outlay back, honestly.

Property around me in the Mayenne seems to be on the up and so glad I bought mine at the beginning of the year.
This for me is my last home as far as I'm concerned and then my two kids can do as they wish.

Not looking good at all.

EU, UK leaders say conditions to seal Brexit trade deal "not there"

EU chief Ursula von der Leyen and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said in a joint statement on Monday that sealing a new trade deal was impossible now "due to remaining differences on critical issues".

Germans voted for Hitler because they thought it was a good idea.........

At the time, economically, it was. It became a worse idea years later.

Bit like Brexit really.

That’s your opinion, to which I disagree. The EU will implode within the next 3-5 years and we will be soooo much better off being out of it when it does.

Can someone print that and serve it back to him again in 3-5years when he’s eating his baked beans for breakfast, lunch and dinner and stomping his feet saying the world has got it all wrong?

As long as you admit you are wrong when it all does implode.

Only time will tell mate.

The Hippy Spirit in me still thinks we're better sticking together and really wished that the UK had pushed for reform and changes in the EU would have a lot cheaper and we would not be in the chaos that we are in now.
Just my thoughts.

Pushing from the inside got us nowhere; the setup is rotten at the core, he moment they set up the € and pegged economies they sealed the inevitable implosion Benny refers to. I won’t bother listing all the other points again as I know you won’t want to read them anyway.

Yup, there’s very little union.....particularly on the fiscal side.
Every time something goes wrong they move the goalposts or change the law to suit.
Case in point is the recent Poland and Hungary veto. Apparently they are examining ways of setting up the payments system anyway in a way which circumvents the “veto”.
So much for having a vote or point of view that counts.

Precisely.

You're describing nothing new. Benny already has baked beans for breakfast, Desperados for lunch and BBQ'd road-kill for his dinner.

PS - he does a mean badger tikka masala as well.

All I know is when I go home to UK, it's doom and gloom, layoffs, well-established businesses going under, whilst here in Belgium it's just the same as before, everyone seems positive, not seen any local businesses closing, or any general despair.

Seems UK gov is revelling in stirring civil unrest with all this, probably so they can continue squeezing every last penny out of ordinary people on the sly...

Absolutely... but I am fairly sure the BOE will probably do a good jog beating the ECB to it !!

You’ve got it all wrong. Brexit has absolutely nothing to do with it, it’s all the fault of Covid.

The problem with politics, is that we leave it to politicians to sort out.

The confirmation by the Ineos billionaire ends slim hopes it would be made at a new factory in Wales.

All a bit ironic coming from a vocal Brexiteer. I would love to understand his POV now?!

Except in the case of Brexit, they let us make a decision we had no idea about. We probably knew better though
