I see that eu trade commissioner, phil hogan, wrote (on the 11th, according to the FT!) a letter to the Dutch government encouraging the country’s parliament to ratify the Canada trade deal.

Mr Hogan provides assurances in the letter, dated February 11, that the level playing field requirements in the agreement — known as CETA — were “solid”.

The deal’s provisions on environmental and labour standards “are legally binding and enforceable through a dedicated dispute settlement mechanism”, Mr Hogan wrote.

His letter also recognises that there are no “monetary or trade sanctions” to enforce the level playing field, saying that “experience shows that sanctions are not proven to be the most effective instrument to address breaches of sustainable development provisions”.

So there's a bit of play on this right now, since the wretched eu seem to be trying to treat us differently.

Heard a brilliant one on the radio tonight, farmer banging on about how the immigration policy will kill his business, because he can't find any UK employees to take up his dairy herdsman position.

After being asked several times how much he was paying and swerving the answer, preferring to keep banging on about what a bad idea it was (all wrapped up in general brexit bashing) he finally admitted the basic was £35k, with the total package closer to £40K.

So, it's a skilled position, it's a fair assumption he won't be employing anyone who doesn't at least have a basic grasp of English and he's paying substantially more than the minimum.

Absolutely no impact on his business at all, he was just calling a National radio station to bang his head against the same brick wall as the likes of 476.

When are these saddos going to get over themselves and realise the play has moved on?

It must be awful to live in a place where all you have left is to be negative about everything.

I've sat back and watched others write what I was thinking. I couldn't agree more. What does stand out is lack of experience (likely due to age) creating a negative train of thought for one person. I've spotted it in other posts that person writes in too.

How can anyone find anything that comes out of Pritti Patela 'agreeable'?

Patel is simply playing a Positive Discrimination Card in a gamenthatbwont affect her or her man's business interests.

Next we'll be suffering all the bullshite about how Trump is such a great thing for the American Working Man.

Funny that Labours 4 day week, increased minimum wage and higher taxes on businesses was perfectly acceptable whereas the Torys, trying to protect low paid jobs for unskilled British workers is going to kill every business in the country.

Starting 2021, every musician, artist, actor, dancer, film crew will need a visa to come to the UK.

£244 for each visa (valid for 1 year)...

Their bank account shouldn't have dipped below £945 for 90 continuous days.

That'll be a great help to those just starting out.

Sounds like it's kicking off.

"Budget talks are complicated further by Britain’s departure from the EU, which leaves a hole of at least 60 billion euros ($65 billion) in the budget that needs to be plugged by either cutting spending or making others pay more"

But..but... I thought Brexit was just bad for Britain, and the EU would be unaffected.

[Easy-X]

Yes, don't we get all those 60 millions Euros + more back in EU subsidies?! Can't see how there's a hole when they won't be paying us out any more.

I like how all the eastern bloc countries are called 'Friends of cohesion' (with Spain and Portugal thrown in), basically wanting money. The others (net contributors) are called frugal.

I give the EU dream 2 years until it implodes. Hopefully no wars this time - looking at you Germany.
