If we're going to name it like we did the Spanish Flu, then it's not the China Virus, it's the US or UK Virus. The "Spanish Flu" did not originate...

They are government employees after all.

Nothing wrong with calling it a China Virus, we've used names before like the famous Spanish Flu based on geographical properties. If you really...

Except it didn't. It rolled over, and for rolling over it didn't even get a faster agreement. It has a government though in dire need of 'brexit...

Yes, you're referring to the Trump admin's failed bid to bring the EU to heel by using a tactic similar to the one he used against Canada and Mexico....

Where Britain leads ...

The negotiated deal had no chance of ratification by the EU.

Well well well. The US and EU have mutually decided to drop punitive tariffs - temporarily - in order to negotiate a more permanent solution. ...

It's all part of the narrative they tell themselves. "Covid isn't really that bad anyway, this is all too much" easily segues into "well, I don't...

He was right here, insisting on calling it the Chinese Disease.

This is how you end up with 46% of teachers wanting a vaccine. Plus the newest GOP message is Covid no longer exists (or at least isn't worth...

Is it too cynical to joke that at least this will help demographically for upcoming elections? It's mind boggling how the same people who are most...

The EU was pursing a comprehensive trade deal with the US until the US pulled the plug. It was Trump's decision to terminate the trade talks.

Jeez this is worse than I thought. Though an extremely long interval of dates.

Lewk, where were you when Trump et al. kept equating Covid with Asians? When people were warning the Trump administration that this would lead to...

I don't know whether this is just your reading difficulties again or if there's some other reason why you think that the EU not pursuing a...

Remember my story about my friend and the surgeon, o illiterate and ignorant one :) it's interesting that you object so strongly to being reminded of...

You keep using the absurd term "bare its throat" as if the UK being able to be nimble and agile to get what it wanted outside the EU was a weakness...

What I'm saying is that this isn't a "deal" so much as it is a minor negotiation move. Because of leaving the EU, the UK has had to bare its throat...

So what you're saying is that by the UK being independent, the UK has been able to unilaterally drop its tariffs and get the US to drop its in...

You are still in a dispute :confused: this is a temporary (4 months) suspension of retaliatory tariffs as a show of goodwill in response to the UK...
