At a guess I’d say you’ll just pay more for that “pleasure”

The difference is that from January we can't get around the 14 day quarantine by taking a test.
I started reading and ending up reading anoter 30 odd pages and still didn't get there. But basically it's down to arbitration but there's a degree of trust between the EU and Japan.
Clearly Boris evaporated any trust with the IMB and I personally wouldn't trust Boris to walk my dog, and I don't even have a dog.
Indeed.
I was coming from the position of both sides having a common purpose, one of mutual benefit. But in this case, clearly not.
No, it's not arbitration as it's all completely non-binding.

This report is worth reading in full at some point for a general understanding of the ways international trade interacts with domestic regulations and the trade-offs involved.
And most people I know cringe at the utterly stupid comments made by people who really should know better.
Just to mention that in my working life, I had the absolute pleasure and privilege of working with excellent engineers (jet engine) from Germany, Italy, France, Sweden and Spain. And in my experience, I had nothing but admiration for them and still keep in contact with many. I am I very firm believer in the concept of working together on an equal basis to achieve a common objective.
Brexit is 180 degrees opposed to this.
Not sure where you are seeing that tbh. The main thrust of public statements and media coverage for a bit now has been the 'don't back down on sovereignty' line.For you and I and other EU residents that means a compulsory 2 week quarantine
I'm in the UK and keep hearing how the EU needs a deal as much as we do and it's this big moment in European history. Seems to be a fundamental misunderstanding there. The EU no longer has any need to make any sacrifices. A deal is better than no deal, but newspapers make no mention of it and it's not a vote winner or loser anymore.
I've not seen the 'it'll hurt them more than us' guff being trotted out for a while. That was wearing thin, so rely on emotional nationalism to blindside people.
It starts with Regulatory Co-operation and then proceeds throughout many steps , discussions, fora, etc but if the process continues on and on without solution it goes to arbitration and legal process if necessary.
I spent over thirty years dealing with International Trade but not dealing with actual FTA's between countries on a national level but knew the international and local laws covering the products that I dealt with inside and out for the countries and of the products that were exported including countries where there were no FTAs in place.
Just tired of reading stuff which I did for so many years.
Quite agree, this will bring no benefit to anyone.
One thing I would like to see in the not too distant future is that scum like Farage and his acolytes are finally found out and get their just desserts for causing so much damage to the UK.
Anybody in the UK still think an Australian style deal means anything other than no-deal.
Perhaps Boris is trying to get people used to the idea that everything will take at least three months to reach the UK rather than the next day.
Yeaaaah the Australian style option so amazing that Australia don’t even want it.Australian-style option.
Obviously he’s talking out his arse but what does he mean by Australian vs Canadian options?
Free-trade agreement (Canada) vs default WTO terms (Australia).
Canada FTA v Australia no agreement. At present his only option is "Australia"
He means and I'm not joking, "I'm going to bamboozle these fools."
Now if you want to know what each options are, the Aussie option is a trade negotiation that started in 2018 and the other is CETA, both includes borders and custom checks.
Ok, right. That’s catastrophic. Fecking cretin.
He is such a fecking cretin. I can't tell if he's doing it to try to simplify things for the population or to try to imply that both countries are totally OK and so why shouldn't we be?
Kind of ignores the fact that neither country have 'Australia' or 'Canada' style agreements with their neighbours.
Perhaps he could call it the 'Venezuela' option?

Were 'the leave alliance' a big player in leave politics? I can't distinguish between them anymore.
I've come across their website today and it doesn't seem to have been updated for at least a year. Interesting insight into (a subset) of the Brexit mind.
They seem genuinely terrified of a no deal option (as they should be) but seemingly can't help but blame it still, at least partly, on the EU and remainers.

Wasn't it Boris Johnson who said last year that the chances of a no deal were "million to one”
Still trying to deceive the country by pretending that his completely incompetent handling of the whole Brexit process is actually some kind of victory.
I can't describe how livid I am.
He is happy to trash the UK economy and all that represents simply for a philosophical (taking back control) argument.
I can imagine him singing to the tune of War of the Worlds - the chances of not getting a trade deal are a million to one, but still there's none...
And his Cabinet Brexiteer supporters clapping like the demented idiots they are.
They’ve become a nation of clappers.
well I hope clapping puts the food on the table come the time when the economy starts seriously tanking next year
That is the problem.
The poor and vulnerable will always be hit the hardest. Even though many will have voted to leave.
But we all knew this was coming.
Oh well, there's always next year when the country's on it's knees.

The UK may possibly have coped with either Brexit or the pandemic. But both of them at the same time is going to be catastrophic.
Exactly, but the pandemic provides a convenient cover for Brexit.
"can't do this? oh it's the pandemic, not Brexit"
Supporters will grit their teeth and keep on waving their flags, I think they'll have to suffer a lot before the concede the Brexit was a bad idea.
fecking shameless. Indulged by certain sections of our media.
Spouts off lies, and there is little accountability
Have to agree with you. The pandemic will give them a short term excuse which they will use to the full. But longer term...
They have been warned.
I find this kind tweets interesting because I assume that for many people it somehow makes sense, it takes more than a month to ship something port to port from the UK to Australia.
It’s the accountability that does my head in the most. Why aren’t politicians held to account for anything? They can literally lie and millions lap it up. I can’t fathom it
So we've gone from 'oven 'ready' lies before the election to 'Australia style' lies now and the dimwits in the country will just believe it. I think this post nails it when describing the 'Australia style' deal:

Its pathetic, its not hard to even ask the most basic of questions and do fecking research to show they are lying. Trumpian politics at their best.
I really hate the era of politics that we have gone through the last 5 years or so. Any feckin liar can rise to power
You and me both mate! Previously having an affair used to be a resignation certainty, now you can shag, lie, bully, fraud and do basically anything you want and nobody gives a feck. Worst thing is we haven't got an election for years yet so we are stuck with these idiots.
Specially when it's a lie. In november was signed the RCEP trade deal that include China and Australia
