Because UK proposals lack substance, and are meant for the UK press to propagandize, and are not anything the EU can consider
Regrettably, the EU has allowed "opt-outs" and the like in the past, but it doesn't do "fudges" in the same way as the British. If you don't commit yourself to paper, no one will trust you So, it's because you have nothing on paper: that's how we know you are doing badly |

We shall see what May and Davis are made of. I am quite prepared to accept them walking away from the table if no compromise can be won. But if they knuckle under and sign a deal on goods only and no services, that will be proof of spineless incompetence and I doubt if the country will want to live with that for long.

You've been told many times, either you're in the Market, or you're not. You said "No" so that means "No" for services, including financial services
I know that screws you, but you were warned about that in advance |

IMHO no services should also mean no goods, no goodbye payoff, no access to British fishing waters and a hard border for Northern Ireland; compulsory capitalisation in the UK for any EU bank which wants to trade in London and no other cooperation except on security and citizens rights. We too can do a lot to make life uncomfortable if that is going to be the name of this game.

Everyone knows that. You always said no deal is better than a bad deal, so back to WTO you go. Except the EU has planned for that and you haven't
Btw, in case you believed the BS that "they need us more than we need them" I think you're about to be taught a hard lesson |

No problem. The problem might be if the EU ever wants or needs anything from Great Britain, ever again.

This time it is not a war, but it is a debate about what kind of country we are going to be and who will call the shots here, and no trade agreement is as important as that. We are sincere about wanting to negotiate; but we aren't going to be bent over the table.

Actually Palo as a communist of the Soviet type and as someone who has decried democracy as unimportant (past posts) the EU Commission is something you agree with, and something meets your idea of reality. We think better of our people.
