Brexit and Future of UK : Discussions

Yeah, and US is giving illegal subsidies to Boeing, and China is giving illegal subsidies to Comac, and so *censored*ing on.
That's not about international competition though. They stopped them opening a plant in another US state.
Meanwhile in the same story.
But one was to stop Boeing setting up other plants and furthering their business. It was a negative impact on them if anything. Low interest loans are direct subsidisation to help the business.
Well do it. Macron keeps making threats but I see no action. We will never agree to that Withdrawal Agreement, so why all the extensions, just kick us out.
Boeing was paid to not do something. It's absolutely unprovable that they would have done it without the bribe. It's just a way to launder subsidies by claiming they're not subsidies.
Low-interests loans still have to be repaid, on the other hand. What the US do is worse from the WTO's point of view.
The bribes were offered by the state government not the federal government, so it's highly likely that the reason provided is legitimate in the name of keeping jobs in that state. It's really an interstate breach of WTO rules not an international one. It's like Calais paying a firm money to stop them setting up a plant in Nice or something. It breaches WTO rules but Nice is the only victim.
Trump sends ominous warning to EU that 'tough' stances on Brexit and US trade will come 'back to bite you'
Trump sends ominous warning to EU that 'tough' stances on Brexit and US trade will come 'back to bite you'
So let me get it straight - Trump tweeted & EU promptly extended it till oct31, instead of British request till June. Must be good threat
Good thing EU didn't extend it till 2025 BMD would gave been heartbroken, knowing that British parliament would have then sat on it till last month & then claimed no agreeable solution reached & ask for a extension again.
So why do the EU keep extending, they're scared of no deal. If we had a tougher government they could have exploited that rather than ruling it out.
So what is the EU then? Says it is prepared for no deal and says there can be no extension without progress, then extends without progress to prevent no deal.
The cat doesn't want to enter the EU Parliament in case it gets bummed.
Brexit hurts the British economy, even when it doesn't happen. This April, which was supposed to be the first after the United Kingdom's exit from the European Union, will see British car production fall by 40%! Quite simply because the car manufacturers had planned to put their factories on stand-by and their employees on holiday, in the perspective of the catastrophic scenario of the no deal'. The last-minute postponement of the release date did not allow them, with the exception of Bentley, to reverse in time. So there are thousands of employees and chains at a standstill... for nothing. Not to mention that the same situation is likely to recur at the next deadline. A particularly enlightening example of the misdeeds of this endless series on the British economy and the sometimes ubuesque situations it causes.
Brexit must take place quickly, whatever the cost, and the Union must continue on its way, because without the British, the Union would today be much further away, much stronger, much more united.
