Looks like Boris no sending any love letters to the EU on the 19th.

b'stard will do as he is told like a good little boy that he is.

The EU is a rules based regime. Rules enforced by bureaucrats (not Courts of Law) enabled to apply sanctions as they see fit. Which does not mean that the rules are ‘lawful’ in Common Law terms.

It also shows the absolute disconnect between the ambitions of Brexiteers (like me) and the EU. And this obviously means that there is No Deal that will suit both parties. There can be no consensus. Why? A major part of Leaving the EU was precisely to enable differences. To not have a ‘level playing field’.

Clearly, France is scared of losing the barriers that protect its inefficient producers...

I 'd suggest you do your own search on the validity of your copy-paste statements.
Actually the EU is MORE Democratic than member States as I explained before.

You want to believe the Commissioners employ mostly bureaucrats like the Ministers of any State do. The truth is the Commissioners employ far more percentage of experts than any Ministry of any member state. It's those experts who draft the rules, regulations, and laws which must first get the approval of the EU council (member States) and the EU parliament to be enforced. And we are not talking for any experts, we are talking for top European brains (including of course British)
As for the sanctions these are standard practices and there's no way to discriminate against anyone. It's the commissioners themselves who do the monitoring, and if you check the infringement procedure it provides the member state a lot of time to comply. Nevertheless the final decision for sanctions is taken by the European Court of Justice.
Did you say the bureaucrats apply sanctions as they see fit?

HUGE POLL SHOWS BRITONS WANT BREXIT DELIVERED

The biggest poll since the referendum itself, conducted for ITN by ComRes with 26,000 Britons, conclusively shows the public want Brexit sorted, with 54% of respondents saying we should support abiding by the referendum result and leave the EU. Even greater than the original 52:48 split…

When ‘don’t knows’ are included, leaving still has a majority, with 50% wanting to leave (30% with a deal and 20% with no deal) versus only 42% wanting to remain. The Brexit train rolls on…

Paphitis have you asked Jeff Taylor what he thinks about the Boeing 737 Max yet ? Does he also think "The B737 is probably the best built aircraft and most successful aircraft ever built" ?

[Paphitis]

A very interesting and welcomed development which would work in the UK's favour. Macron claims he will veto an extension request.

Thank You Macron.

[Lordo]

any news on the deal yet. never mind last night 11 oclock or today 11 oclock b'stard will not have a deal even by the end of the week.

HUGE POLL SHOWS BRITONS WANT BREXIT DELIVERED

Strange how neither you nor Guido mention at all that in this same poll it was also found "But more people think a no deal is bad for the UK than good." Try looking at the actual poll results rather than Guido's partial and pejorative reporting of them and things look a bit different I would suggest.

Q1. Thinking about the UK leaving the EU, which of the following would be your preferred outcome?

The UK remaining in the EU - 42%
The UK leaving the EU with a withdrawal deal - 30%
The UK leaving the EU on a No Deal basis - 20%
Don't know - 8%

Thank You Macron.

Here is a suggestion for you Paphitis, if you want to know what Macron is saying, try listening to what Marcon says, rather than just listening to what Mayhar Tousi claims he has said ?
