Brexit: UK announces trade deal with Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein

However, the Norwegian government said the deal with the UK would not restore all the advantages it had when both countries were in the EEA.

In terms of their overall trade volumes, this deal is more significant for Norway and Iceland than it is for the UK.

But politically, it's really important for the post-Brexit British government to show that new trade deals are being done quickly. Even if - as the Norwegian side points out - it is less open than the previous relationship inside the same single market.

You gullible obese ****

 

You can get your salt cod now. Big deal.

 

It's not what you can buy, it's what you can sell

 

Under left and right

 

I cant argue with that, other than the left caused the right to cut funding.

 

G7 set to strike deal on global corporate taxation

Johnson is without doubt, the weakest PM we’ve ever had.

Lord Sumption sums him up perfectly in this morning’s Telegraph.

‘He (Johnson) is very vulnerable to people who are utterly confident about their position,’ Sumption observes. ‘He’s never prepared to put in the work that would make him utterly confident of his own position. In that respect he is completely different from Margaret Thatcher who always attempted to ensure she was on top of every issue she was called upon to deal with. Boris Johnson has got some of the rhetorical flair and a not dissimilar ideological position, but he simply does not have the intellectual capacity to follow it through. It’s not because he’s stupid. He clearly isn’t. It’s because he’s intellectually idle.”

 

not a myth, but you keep believing it was one

 

Clearly Wee Jimmy McKrankie should make you Scottish Finance Minister since your understanding of finance only seems to extend as far as the Magic Money Tree and the usual despising anybody rich and successful unlike yourself.

I stated that JD Wetherspoon made a profit of -£105m in 2020. That is a LOSS of £105m. They claimed back £10m from the taxman on their loss. That is £10m less to fund public services.

So you think the company’s finance director should just have kept paying everyone and running up the tab. That sounds fantastic. The more money the company loses, the more they claim back from the taxman writing down the losses. So that is even less to fund public services, but what the heck just get some more money from the Magic Money Tree.

Then eventually Socialist Sunak comes along with his blank cheque for 80 per cent of that extra loss but the company still has 20 per cent of the losses on the books. So the losses offset against profits and that means less tax paid next year and fewer public services, but the Magic Money Tree can help out.

Some of those 43,000 will have taken jobs with supermarkets and other businesses that were recruiting people because lockdown had created more demand on them. That was suggested to them at the time. They were not told to sit on their arses and feel sorry for themselves.

At least employees of JD Wetherspoon have the potential of jobs to which they can return. Employees of Debenhams and other high street retailers are not so fortunate. Some of them will have taken jobs with supermarkets and other businesses that may disappear in a few months time.

Obviously if that crazed Leftie lunatic Jeremy Corbyn had been Prime Minister, Chancellor John McDonnell would have nationalised absolutely everything in March 2020 and the Magic Money Forest would have been stripped bare to pay for absolutely everything; so it would all be free and we would all be millionaires. The vaccination programme would be as inefficient as the European one because we would have joined with them as a sign of commitment to our neighbours in the failing E.S.S.R., but it is unlikely that the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine would exist.

 

You're such a deluded ****wit.

 

Of course the Magic Money Forest doesn't exist though does it? It is all funded by borrowing and quantative easing. ( A posh term for printing more shekels) that's fine unless interest rates take a hike. At present the debt progresses very little more than the deficit. But if interest rates rise then we are all in deep doo doo. Well you lot are, I'm all right jack, pull up the ladder. Anyway I'm off for lunch sitting in the sunshine by the River Marne. A very nice menu for €38!

 

Did you read the original article in the Torygraph? No, probably not so you were commenting without any knowledge of the facts. So you are a lying Leftie.

Two wrongs do not make a right, so Tim Martin is wrong as well because only the headline of the article is misleading as the text makes no reference to Wetherspoon being “short handed”. Whether either of you like it or not those are the facts.

We know that Lefties hate facts, which is why you continue to argue a lost argument. Why do you not resort to name calling like that other loser @A.L.D.O 4.1?

 

The crazed righties on here are either too old, too stupid or too feckless to have mortgages. They don't give a **** if other Brits suffer, as long as foreigners/brown people suffer too.

 

You remain a brain dead idiot, incapable of reasoned debate. When medical science wants to do experimental brain transplants, you will be front of the queue to receive one.

 

Do not hold your breath waiting for a global corporation tax. The big seven might think it is a good idea – correction, the Americans think it is a good idea – but those nations like Ireland that it would totally cripple are never going to sign up. Of course it would not be Ireland signing up, it would be the European Union, so throwing the Irish to the wolves would be an acceptable price for tax harmonisation. Is Joe Biden still claiming Irish heritage?

Boris has never been a man for detail. When he was Mayor of London, he was the ideas man. He would have an idea and then he would hire somebody else to make it happen. He cannot hire somebody else in government and he is surrounded by a cabinet made up mostly of the incapables. What has been achieved in terms of the rapid rollout of a plague vaccine has been done because a year ago he hired a private sector expert, gave her billions to spend and let her solve the problem; cutting out the incompetent jobs for life bureaucrats in Whitehall.

 

crazed lefties are obsessed with throwing insults around while not have one sensible idea of their own
