UK ‘cannot’ refuse to extend transition if it will not submit to EU Brexit demands

[Counselor706]

The European Union’s chief Brexit negotiator says the British government “cannot” refuse to extend the Brexit-in-name-only “transition” period if it will not submit to the bloc’s demands in the current negotiations.

Michel Barnier, a former French foreign minister, has expressed his irritation that the United Kingdom, which formally left the EU in January but remains subject to its law, its judges, and its Free Movement migration regime while the 2020 “transition period” negotiations are conducted, is — for now — refusing to extend it.

He wants the UK to extend the EU's common fishing agreement. The UK has consistently said 'Fuck Off!' and he doesn't like that. Tough.

PS: He is between a rock and a hard place. The UK wants to control its fishing grounds which have been overfished by large French and Spanish ships. The UK's fishing industry has been decimated and the fish stocks will take decades to recover.

The French and Spanish want to continue fishing in British waters because they have stripped their own.

The French and Spanish will not agree to anything less than being allowed to continue indefinitely. The British will not agree to anything less than full British control.

The British government cannot concede without facing an accusation of betrayal of British interests. The French and Spanish governments would face massive unrest from their fishermen.

Sacre Bleu!!

shit for brains will not concede because brexit was his vanity project. Same reason UK didnt get involved in the bulk purchase of PPE scheme with th EU.
same reason he is now in hiding during Covid.

Same reason he is happy to send NHS data to a private company in the US - via a company run by the brother of one of his chief brexit lackeys. Probably in preparation for selling (or giving) chunks of the NHS to American interests.

The racism of Brexit - pure and simple.

(and I am NOT saying Ogg is a racist)

The only government which ever did anything to preserve European fish stocks was a former Austrian corporal who got a bit above himself; but the fishing in 1946 was excellent.

But the fishermen, as after 1914-18, kept catching naval mines and dying.

The Dover Patrol, which protected the English Channel during the First World War, spent most of 1919 removing mines. Their memorials are for 1914-1919 because so many died in 1919.

There are three memorials - St Margaret's Bay near Dover, Kent, UK, in France at Cap Gris Nez (replaced after the Germans blew it up in 1940), and at Battery Point, New York.
