Oh, so it's all about the legal definition of "is", i.e. pointless noise.

A bit like jumping onto someone saying "check out my car" with a tirade about how she cannot say "my", because technically it belongs to the offshore shareholders of a shell company that owns a controlling interest in a fund that invested in a leasing provider.

If you can come up with any documentation, UK government or eu, saying that we;re still in, present it here.

You won't, of course, because we left 5 months ago. We are not in the eu.

They are not in the EUSM. You are wrong.

Having access to the single market is different to being in the single market.

So you're confused because we are not in the eu, and are therefore not in the EUSM, but have full access? Is that it?

Edit: We have access by treaty. In our case, it's the "Withdrawal Agreement" treaty. Other countries have access by treaty too, but their access is by different treaties. Norway, for instance, uses the EEA Agreement, which entered into force on 1 January 1994. Switzerland has different arrangememnts.

Of course they call it "out". Semantics. Brexit isn't done yet. Real change happens in 2021.

I think I know how Reijufixing will reply to that, and while we have this government that is standing up for the UK in the negotiations, I'm inclined to accept that we are as good as out, and that the semantics are rather in "we're not out yet".

Look at it another way. If we decided (yes, it's horrible to imagine) that we wanted to be in the eu, what would we have to do? The answer is that since we are now out, we'd have to re-apply to go in again, from square 1, which would be much worse than when we joined the EEC all those years ago (the eu has only existed since '93, and we sort of joined it by default at that time). The law - the eu's A.50 and our own European Union (Withdrawal Agreement) Act 2020 has run its course, and can't be undone, the joining action would have to be redone, with all that would entail.

Yes, there's stuff yet to be decided, but that's only to do with whether or not we get a trading agreement, and if so, what. We're actually in a temporary trading ageement now, called the transition period, in which we pay for general access to the EUSM, but it will run out at the end of the year.

Yes, we're in broad agreement. My concerns were back when we had a government that seemed ready to lie down to every demand of the EU, but those days appear to be, thankfully, over. Back then, my worry was that being out, technically or otherwise, wouldn't have meant much. I'm feeling much more positive now Smile

Full access and following all its requirements means we are in the single market.

You are using semantics like a politician. I'm talking about the reality on the ground.

Having access means following all of their requirements, being in the single market means you get a say in what the requirements are.

Nice slogan, but let's remember that this latest stir of excitement was created by me remarking that in yet another area leaving means more bureaucracy:
