...anding fishing rights in our territorial waters, they still want the UK to follow their rules and regulations, they want the European Courts having a final say on our lawsand we are to have no say in anything are you kidding, if you want to roll over and be walked on then that’s your choice.

 Do they demand fishing rights or demands to follow their rules with any other country they have a deal with no.

 You must have inside privileged information or a crystal ball to make a statementabout far right Tories pretending to do a deal that seems utter nonsense, can you tell me what unreasonable demands the UK has asked the EU to submit to.

We have freedom of speech and we all are entitled to our views. Keep safe.

...re not new rules just to make it awkward for the UK , they were there before. The EU wants us to stay. We decided to come out! So unfortunately our status is a Third Party Country. 

The point of my post was to alert visitors that there is also this problem to consider too when they are booking flights and making travel plans . It wasn’t to finger point.
