In the context of Britain’s overall “Brexit”, Northern Ireland still enjoys EU treatment.
“Depressing!” Irish Foreign Minister Simon Covenny said so, referring to Michelle Barnier, the EU’s chief representative for “Brexit” negotiations, after revealing the results of the weekend negotiations.
“With little time left, Britain still wants to negotiate.” This is what British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said.
Without you, you and me, you still have to talk hard if you can’t talk about the result! Yesterday (December 7th) local time, after a long and a half hours of chatting on the phone, Johnson and European Commission President von der Leyen said that the terms of the final agreement between Britain and Europe “do not yet exist”.
After the official “Brexit” on January 31 this year, the United Kingdom began an 11-month transition period with Europe. Seeing that the transition period is about to expire, how can the rest of the day be spent? It seems that Britain has British ideas, and Europe has European intentions. What should I do if I can’t talk about it?
“Brexit” for more than half a year, cutting and not leaving, it’s still messy, it’s a sadness of separation…
Let’s talk about the differences in detail. According to the disclosures of Johnson and von der Leyen, the biggest difference between Britain and the European Union is at three points-
Fair playing field,
Performance management,
Fisheries.
Some media analysis believes that the European Union has lost trust in Britain and feels that it has passed an 11-month transition period – how does Uncle Hai feel that these 11 months are a bit like a “divorce cooling-off period”, and the UK will “do everything” next.
What can be done? For example, Britain can drastically reduce social welfare and environmental standards… Anyway, if Britain, a developed economy, does so, first of all, many industries in continental Europe will be directly defeated by Britain. In other words, the EU is afraid of unfair competition with Britain.
Take fishing as an example. Britain is an island country. In Uncle Hai’s view, it is now more like a pure island country – the afterglow of the sunset empire only exists in the dreams and imaginations of some islanders, which has been analyzed in yesterday’s article “Some people in Britain want to open a gunboat to China to claim compensation…”
After all, it is an island country, and the island is surrounded by sea. British people want to fish at sea, and they don’t want some countries along the coast of Europe to take advantage of the sea at their doorstep. Especially France. Even when the UK was still inside the EU in 2018, British and French fishermen fought a “war” at sea, when media reported that it was “two hundred years after two years, Britain and France fought again”. Nowadays, Britain doesn’t want to see French fishing boats at home.
Brexit, Brexit is not clean. At least, there is another Northern Ireland tail that can’t be lost. According to the agreement reached in January, the UK has to actually implement “one country, two systems” on the issue of “Brexit”. What do you mean? Northern Ireland still enjoys EU treatment in the context of Britain’s overall “Brexit”.
In 2019, Irish Prime Minister Varadka went to London to discuss with Johnson the border between Northern Ireland and Ireland after Brexit. On the island of Ireland, Ireland and Northern Ireland are originally one family. Later, it was swallowed up by the British Empire as a whole. Later, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland became the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Northern Ireland, which failed to become independent with the whole of Ireland, has always had a separatist force relative to London. The reason why Britain is holding Northern Ireland to hell is that if this “domino” collapses, the next “domino” is likely Scotland…
Anyway, Uncle Hai has heard that the Scottish government said that if Britain completely “Brexit”, Scotland will still vote on “Brexit”. Scottish Chief Minister Sturgeon said she hopes to hold a second independence referendum as early as next year, citing the British Times on November 27.
At that time, Britain will not be discussing “Brexit”.
After reaching an agreement with Ireland and even the European Union on the Northern Ireland border, the UK has enacted another “internal market bill”. In fact, this bill, to put it bluntly, changes the special arrangement for Northern Ireland with the European Union in disguise.
How to put it, Britain is afraid! For fear that the ancestral foundation will collapse overnight, there will be only a little space left in England in the southern part of the British Isles – you know, one of the three British naval bases is currently in Scotland.
Once Johnson and von der Leyen don’t talk about anything, the UK and the European Union will completely cut off by the deadline – December 31. At that time, the border inspection of the border inspection – this is still light. There is also a tax that should be taxed.
British people will bear high prices, and according to current estimates, cheese, beef and so on will rise by 50%. The British economy has been hit by another 2%! What will Britain look like when it is already very unbearable under the epidemic?
At this time, it is also quite funny to think that the last Governor Patten is still free to poke his nose into his own business, and that Britain dares to send an aircraft carrier Queen Elizabeth, which is not even equipped with carrier-based aircraft, to the South China Sea.
