Yet only 3 out of 44 countries in Europe don't have ID cards. Most of Europe find this debate in UK baffling

Just I don’t speak Gaelic, only a few words, whereas you speak Italian…do you live in Italy? Or just learned the language while on hols?

I wonder why they didn’t use the word in the AI ads but then they used at the end let’s crack on, they could have made it more authentic using craic …

True, sorry, that’s why you can still claim VAT when buying products in EU or CH…it’s just there are barely any checks now, only randomly done when you go through CH.

Easy explained here, good to note the UK place on it. In good company.

It depends what you wish to have as result. Do you want just normal dialogue? Nothing to do. Do you want deepen relationships which include trade and no barriers? Drop your red lines. Anything the UK wishes hinges on them. Not much to do then.

CH is not a non-MS as third country, they are EFTA members so there is already an agreement between EFTA-EU and although non inside EEA, it shares with EU all the rights and obligations. It has long history, now it would not work. So either you are in or out. UK is not even close to CH relationship

The Memphis Massacre, New Orleans Massacre, Fort Pillow Massacre, Los Angeles Chinese Massacre, the massacre and burning of Black Wall Street & much more. AmeriKKKa has a history of massacres in communities of color.
comment in response to post
They pick the wrong example, thinking CH is cherry picking when in reality CH shows that either you are in and accept everything, contribute and have obligations or you are out. UK decided to be out with its red lines.

And it won’t bring any considerable benefit at the end. It was just fluff from Starmer to confuse the confused Labour minds that it could work and will make Brexit work and Britain great again!
comment in response to post
It took years of negotiation for at the end being like in the EU…that’s why the EU is not allowing that anymore. They accept SM, CU and Schengen. Tell me how the UK could gain that with its red lines…
comment in response to post
Switzerland is part of EFTA, and although not in EEA, it’s in the SM, CU and Schengen. Switzerland accepts the EU on mutual benefits, contributes to the budget and has obligations.

' One of the strengths behind this is that Starmer and his team probably believe Brexit is genuinely bad for Britain'. 'Probably' is doing a lot of heavy lifting there. Starmer's lunatic 'red lines' do not indicate Starmer thinks Brexit is bad, just that he thinks he can make Brexit work.

Only trade deals but no obligations. This is not possible as it’s not a mutual benefit.
comment in response to post
The agreements with non-MS never cross into the domains of SM/CM as they cannot advantage a third country over their members without paying they dues (rights and obligations). Otherwise what will be the incentive to join the EU/EEA if a third country can get some advantages? We all know UK seeks
comment in response to post
Because it’s part of the diplomacy to keep dialogue ongoing even with your competitors or enemies The YMS came about after UK tried to strike a bilateral deal only with some countries. It’s clear that SPS advantages UK only not the EU so this is a concession in return for fish rights.

Only Pearle which I really don’t know, many EU industries are not signatories.
comment in response to post
There is not one EU signatory mentioned in the article, it’s only the UK industry. Your title is incorrect and thus misleading as it were a joint request which is not.
comment in response to post
Of accession countries and two more countries are joining Schengen.
comment in response to post
The words mutually beneficial (ie another name for cherry picking) is advocated only by the UK side. For the EU mutually beneficial is the whole package, ie EU with SM and CU, otherwise there is no other benefit. It’s a matter of size, 27 vs 1. We lost one country but we are growing, there is a Q
comment in response to post
I can only see the UK industry signatories behind it. The whole article is about the UK musicians’ issues. The title is misleading as if it was a joint request, UK and EU. Can we send a complaint for a correction?

Italy > UK? That’s a news for me!

I am also a scientist and a policy person, I interact with both and I can translate science to policy makers but the BS on those topics from political scientists is beyond me know.

People DO NOT understand quantum computing AT ALL. Way to much it will be classical computing but faster nonsense. When its uses cases (if any) will be limited to specific operations amenable to solving via quantum algorithms.
comment in response to post
Mostly when it’s mentioned as magic by policy/IR/lawyers/political sciences folks … wtf I am not pretending to know law, I stick to my specific narrow STEM knowledge, why all those people pretend to understand and waffle about it? It’s my daily battle now!
comment in response to post
Quantum is the hype, people talk a lot about it but nobody understands quantum science, for many is just schoedringer’s cat being everywhere…I have been working on quantum physics for as long as I remember and still it’s hard to understand. I am appalled by all the AI, Quantum and all EDTs buzz
