go to bed, it has been a hard day for you.
Gove has said today that we are not having an extension to the transition period because we need to take back control of our borders.He then went on to say that we won't be implementing customs checks on goods coming in from the EU when the transition period ends. The EU have said they will have customs checks for British goods going into the EU from 1/1/21.It's late and I'm tired, but that sounds to me like the EU taking control of one part of our border and the UK shrugging it's shoulders and saying we can't do the same.I'm sure one of our Government fans can explain the logic I'm not getting.
On the contrary my wife loves them... We also do sometimes buy a few things we liked from New Zealand and it's far too expensive, has to be a positive (just so I can get my favourite chocolate if nothing else).

We can, just do it:https://twitter.com/DmitryOpines/status/1273242328564727809
Right. NOW I get why Johnson has insisted that there will be no border checks between NI and GB, despite signing a legally binding agreement with the EU that said there would be.https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/brexit-border-controls-northern-ireland-union-boris-johnson-deal-a9573761.htmlWe now just say "No, we are not doing it."Good, eh?

But you did. Whoops a daisy."
In the long run NI will go the same way as Gibralta will as the EU will support member state claims over non member states and these territories will return to their original owners.
I thought that would be fairly obvious due to their respective locations Glyn, as I posted it will be long term but the Spanish are not going to pass up this opportunity I woulndn't think.''BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Spain has claimed victory in an argument with Britain over the status of Gibraltar, after the European Parliament passed a law that referred to the peninsula as a “colony of the British Crown”''https://www.reuters.com/article/us-britain-eu-visas/spain-claims-success-in-gibraltar-row-with-britain-idUSKCN1RG199
it means a lot to the people of Gibralter , that's why they will vote to rejoin the EU as part of Spain
A spokesperson for the Angel of the North protest that took place today, Kim Sanderson, said it would make far more sense to deal with one crisis at a time: “Whichever way you voted in the EU referendum, it was not to lose your job or be worse off.”
Well it looks like it is kicking off over there in La La land, Varadkar coming into trouble with the greens who are themselves coming in for trouble with the farmers who need a Brexit agreement to protect their largest market. Merkel is considering sidelining Barnier to push for an agreement, and no fiscal agreement with the frugal four and the German courts dead set on not continually bailing out their med friends.
