    France wants conditions on fishing rights, Spain wants Gibraltar and Greece wants its' ancient artifacts returning to their rightful home.

    Sounds like it's going to be a piece of cake, this.

    Great plan. I'm sure that will work perfectly.

    It's known as cherry picking.

    Its a good starting point in negotiations. What will they concede to get a bit of what they want? Or like DT says, play hardball and tell em all to go ****

    You seem to be under the impression that they need us more than we need them. Why is this? Not saying you’re wrong, just curious about your reasoning.

    Well what did you expect - Europe to just let us have what we want and nothing in return. Dont forget all the individual countries have to sign off so if Greece wont sign off unless she gets her marbles back we need to decide whether we want to sacrifice a good trade deal over some stuff we nicked when we had an empire - for me thats an easy one
    The more difficult ones are things like Gibraltar where the population do not want to be part of Spain - though that's unlikely to be an issue to Boris given how he has treated Northern Ireland.
    I feel a few told you so's coming - though I still expect us to leave with no deal and use Gibraltar and Marbles as examples of the EU being to blame

    Its all a sham anyway. The Government will indulge itself in months of willy-waving then go for what it really wants, a no-deal Brexit with the blame heaped on the unreasonable foreigners.

    I think the brexiteers think that the E.U, are going to be a soft touch & they are going to be rolled over & have their bellies tickled.

    Gibraltar voted overwhelmingly to stay in the EU. So would be interesting if they get involved in negotiations. Britain was prepared to discuss sovereignty with Spain in years gone by . Providing Spain allowed the Gibraltan’s to take part in such discussions. Which is the stronger pull for them. ?

    I read somewhere last week that despite all the moaning done by UK fishermen, they actually sold around 40+% of their quotas to EU skippers. That can’t be right can it?

    Nooo not right. Seafood export to EU is more like 70% !!

    Although the French may tell our exports to 'fe'k Off'

    Why do I give that impression? Ive just replied about the 3 issues the OP has mentioned.

    Take France and fishing as one example - under EU policy they currently have access to UK waters - after we leave they won’t. If they don’t want access then fair enough. If they still want access then they are wanting something from the UK.

    Granted this is one little issue of the overall bigger picture, but it is the issue I’ve commented on, not the overall deal between the EU and UK.

    That should sort it. Some people have actually accused the Brexshiters of being unrealistic. No way!!

    These are trade negotiations. Brexit has already happened. Boris will quietly compromise before the year's out. He is a pragmatist.

    I wish I shared your confidence- I am not so sure as there is still a hard core of Tories who want no deal and will make it difficult for Boris to compromise

    Not exports,, the actual fishing rights ie: foreign ships fishing UK waters because UK fishermen sold them the rights

    I’m no expert on this, but how much is down to quotas on what can and can’t be caught? There have been pieces in the media about fishermen having to throw x amount of their catch back in to the sea as they are not allowed that type of fish so it was not worth it to go out to sea.
