Searing opinion of this kop out deal from Boris. Unfortunately gammon readers of the Observer are low. The Sun and Express have already passed it off as a fantastic deal for Britian. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jedi Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 And yet, still no comment in the press about the EU continuing it's clampdown on accounts in tax havens like the Cayman Islands, Liechtenstein, Taiwan, the Virgin Island etc.....not of course that that had anything to do with Johnson switching from Remain to Leave in the first place, or the views of Rees-Mogg and Gove... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeLurker Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 It will definitely be interesting to see how that affects any deal that is reached over financial services given how much money laundering is involved in that in a City of London context. Also amusing to watch how Brexiteers react on twitter when they read the small print on fishing and see what the EU can do in retaliation after any future changes on fishing quotas beyond the 25%. Any adjustment after 5 years is more likely to be in the EU's favour in exchange for concessions elsewhere, such as not being quite so strenuous on going after the Cayman Islands and BVI where the Old Etonian spivs that rule us have all their assets squirreled away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something that's been happening for a few years but is unlikely to feature in the news as reported by any mainstream media outlet in the UK to any huge extent, especially those of a tabloid variety.

We are subject to DAC6 requirements from January through domestic law and i think thats the most up to date EU provision. I doubt we'll be as keen on transparency as the EU in the future, but it looks like "the deal" leaves plenty of scope for them to make us jump though hoops for City access to financial markets. What we probably won't have to do is worry about how we can influence the rules that apply to our companies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the impression, during the referendum results, that Laura was pro-Brexit. She started to toe the BBC line soon afterwards. In any case, she's a Jags fan... After her knee to knee with Johnson documentary a couple of years ago which echoed the 'at home with the Camerons' one done by Nick Robinson just prior to a previous election.., I'm generally in agreement with the tweeter who said..... ".... I used to have a lot of respect for Robert Peston, but throughout this election he's been so far up Boris Johnson's arse he can see Laura Kuenssberg's feet..."
