What if it was banks?

Of course hes turned into a philanthropist. He took everyone's money so he can. TR has changed but you cant bring yourself to see that. Goose and gander.

The EU project is going to fail after this I believe think Italy Spain and even france are going to swing in the next election to anti EU parties. Italy quite rightly feel abandoned and I know a italian bird who is partial to english pork who reckons a lot of Italians see the germans taking italian patients as virtue signaling after f***ing their economy for so long but then again it depends who you ask.

I see no change whatsoever in Yaxley-Lennon. He is still punching people and getting arrested as a consequence. I am not aware of him giving any money to the poor and needy or supporting the advance of democracy.

So what change do you see?

For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally.

TBF a lot of the people he has to punch are usually coming after him the guy has death threats sent to him and people at random come up and provoke him for his views. I found some of his views extreme at first but there is no doubt he has uncovered a lot of dirt in this country which would of carried on without him. He is far from perfect but that dont make him wrong about everything. More often not he is right but goes about the wrong way.

not seen that one I've seen videos of him getting attacked in the street and fighting them off that's what I'm referring to.

Hes not the leader of the EDL. 'Giving money to the poor' oh I see so that Mark's how you have changed as a person. It's all about dosh then. I must remember that. I can make myself a better person in peoples eyes by giving money away. That's a bit like how socialism operates. Wait until soros runs out of money and shorts the next economy. Will he then be bad again?

No insults I can see ME only using a hated figure in comparison to a loved figure who screwed millions of us. I will cease using him as an example but that is all it is.

The EU has been playing the same game from day 1, which is delay. Mrs May wanted to negotiate the withdrawal agreement and the subsequent free trade deal together the EU insisted one must follow the other.

When we finally left Boris wanted to start talks immediately the EU insisted on a 3 month delay and then complained there wasn't enough time.

I have said all alone deals are only done when you hold a gun to the head of both parties. If a deal is close I agree it would be sensible to extend the deadline by a few months. However right now both parties are not even on the same page and the EU is still dragging their feet no doubt hoping the current crisis will frighten the government into making concessions.

So until we see real progress in the talks we should stick to the current deadline. The government has said we will walk away unless real progress is made by the summer and we will not wait for the year end deadline, I agree right now the EU is dragging their feet hoping something better will turn up. They need to understand we are serious about this so they need to get serious. I have a feeling that the political leaders of the EU especially southern Europe will realise that they need to to be more flexible their economies are in real trouble.

One final point I imagine that across the world countries are in economic trouble and will only be too happy to do trade deals with the UK hopefully the EU will realise that.

This rather goes to my point about the EU dragging their heels. I don't know if we will get a deal with the US or if it will be a good one but from the tone of this article it appears both sides are proactively putting in the effort something that was completely lacking from the EU.

Throughout the various EU negotiations the EU kept saying it was up to the UK to find solutions, a very passive response.

I am cautious as to the success of a deal with the US because quite often congress sticks it oar in and scuppers deals so it remains to be seen if we can agree a deal and then have congress accept it. However I am more optimistic about this then I am with the EU unless they pull their finger out and wake up to the new reality.
