The EU cannot drop the backstop because in such case a third country (the UK) would have preferential trading treatment which goes against the rules of the WTO.

@Ekenedilichukwu Abol not helpful! Yes the UK government should have sorted everything before the referendum but it seems it is mostly the fault of the UK politicians, they are such douches!

They're rhetorically using adjectives which basically have nothing to do with the noun, but the adjectives are negative, thus creating a negative feeling about the matter. Joseph Goebbels used that technique... Interspersing "undemocratic", "unelected", "unpatriotic" suits a purpose - like "turbo-charged", which everything seems to be now 😄 I borrow a funny sentence from another user: "We can now look forward to buy undemocratic bread in unpatriotic supermarkets with unelected managers" 😂
My understanding is that the next deadline for Brexit is October 31. If BoJo really wants to go without a deal he can do it tomorrow, can't he? Any time up until October 31, when it becomes inevitable. Yes? He is blowing hot air about no-deal. He is terrified about no-deal or he would do it right NOW. All I can think is that he is hoping that the horse will learn to sing... Holy Fuck, the UK is going to get Rogered. You are doing it to yourselves.
No he cannot leave on his own accord now. Not without parliament's support. What he can do on his own is let the default - exit on the 31st - play out. Here the situation is the exact opposite. Parliament can not do anything to stop it from occurring without a government , not necessarily the current, requesting another delay.
@@KarlStephanNeufeldt You are right. I did not remember that he needs the support of parliament. Perhaps I had trouble understanding that some asshat could design this situation so that a powerless hamstrung government could do that much damage just by doing nothing! Dangerous choices should require positive action, NOT inaction, to precipitate them.
The shows of Nigel and Jacob are streamed live on RUclips, not uploaded. James has a 3-hour program daily from 10 AM to 1 PM. It's a bit long to be streamed live and given the time slot it won't have that many viewers. You can listen to it up til a week later on the website of LBC and you can also see short videos of his show on their website.
@@skyblazeeterno Yes, you are right about that. You just cannot compare the programs of Farage or Rees Mogg to that of James O'Brien. After all, LBC is a radio station.
The difference between May and Johnson is expectations. No one expected May to take Uk out of EU. Boris had been awarded the PM job by the Tories to take UK out of EU. If he waivers or fails in this the knives will be out. It's a simple as it looks.
So what did we learn : "Putting a completely arbitrary but very large sum of money on a bus or on the front of a tabloid and scream : You get that money!! , gets you the top job in the UK apparantly"
Again we get fools making analogies with "going into a shop to buy a . . ." and being willing to "walk out without a . . .". Where the hell is this guy walking into the Jermyn Street shop without a shirt on and telling the salesman that he is willing to walk out without a shirt on - unless the salesman gives him the shirt in exchange for his soiled underpants!? Analogies create lunatics!?
@@BENTWOONEZERO You! You're the one I mean. Idiotic analogies!? We are leaving the "house", giving it away - and then we want to "pay less" to rent it back, to be allowed to live in it. Analogies are OK if they are about trivial matters, analogies are bad when they try to simplify complex matters. Analogies, when they serve propaganda are very dangerous!
Boris is playing what he sees as "hardball". This is the method Brits were warned against using 3 years ago. Theresa May more than once asked the citizens to hold their nerve as she entered the hardest part of the agreement (the Irish border), which she admitted she had kept for last because of the difficulty. She tried to convince her critics her deal would be the best possible, and that is what Brexiters chose to attack. Leavers still hold on to the idea the best way to get what you want is to harken back to the ancient days of the Empire. Threaten, blockade, dominate. Leavers were convinced May was too weak, too willing to give in. Her frequently repeated aim to combine the Remain voters concerns about job losses and damages to UK business with an orderly exit led to a deal that Leavers refused to consider in an attempt to force her out. Nothing is cleared up by replacing May with Boris as long as Northern Ireland is in the way. Does Boris have access to enough money to buy his way through a no-deal Brexit? That's what he seems to be saying, and that is what his talking heads are emphasizing, using credit as the means and giveaways to the rich as the grease.
I think May should have been stronger by pointing out that whilst the likes of Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson and Nigel Farage ran away she acted in good faith......she should have just given the country the take it or leave it option via a referendum maybe.
that guy does not understand 'reductio ad absurdum' In logic, reductio ad absurdum (Latin for "reduction to absurdity"), also known as argumentum ad absurdum (Latin for "argument to absurdity"), apagogical arguments or the appeal to extremes, is a form of argument that attempts either to disprove a statement by showing it inevitably leads to a ridiculous, absurd, or impractical conclusion, or to prove one by showing that if it were not true, the result would be absurd or impossible. wikipedia
If Boris thinks the EU might concede by threatening with no deal and in the end it turns out not to be the case, he might also think he can threaten the UK with revoking article 50. That would be a surprise nobody saw coming (except me :-))

I like James, and most of the time I tend to agree with him; but I get the feeling that he becomes increasingly passiv-aggressiv. He is bullying people and I don't like the way he talks "down" to theo usherwood.
He’s gone from aggressive to passively aggressive recently he’s mentioned it at the begging of the year his New Years resolution was to tone down his behaviour. He really does belittle Theo whose analysis I really enjoy.

You're so focussed on the local picture that you're not exploring the geopolitical games we've been exposed to.

Does the US want us to? What could the US do to worsen the EU's negotiation strength?
