Brexit - The Final Reckoning

Indeed, and I think you’ll find that in most cases we treat then present a bill, which very rarely if ever gets paid.

Those wonderful EU countries demand proof of payment before they’ll hand out a Paracetamol tablet.

Perhaps that’s another reason there are people risking their lives to cross the channel from wonderful France every day.

Well no, because when I go on holiday abroad I make sure I have full insurance for my family. I also take out collision waiver insurance here before I go because it’s much cheaper than buying it at the pick-up point.

I don’t know why I would want to write a tabloid story about breaking my leg in the Balearics. All I have done is pointed out the different approaches to healthcare for foreign nationals here and in the EU. Probably in most other countries to be fair.

If I am wrong please say so with evidence.

I read in The Times today that several EU countries have broken ranks with regard to vaccinations, and that the EU has under-ordered doses and There may well be a shortage of doses.

In the super-efficient utopia that is the EU? Surely not.

I never realised that the health systems of each individual member of the EU were uniform? Under the jurisdiction of one health authority?
Because if they are not, which as we know they are not, how could it be that some authority in the EU could mandate the start date for each country, individually?
I understand the policy of bulk buying by the EU on behalf of each individual country to enable a better price, but that's it.

I knowyouwill neversay a bad word about theEU. I’m sureGreece weren’t very happy at the way they were treated financially, Italy were abandoned at the start of Covid over PPE, France tried to stop a load of PPE that was loaded on lorries to come here.

You seem to have side-stepped the subject of having to pay before receiving treatment in the EU. I know there’s the health card, but when I tried to use it in Spain they made it so difficult for me I ended up producing my Insurance. All of a sudden they couldn’t do enough for me.

I know what you mean and I should probably know better. However I get infuriated when i read these Lilly-liveried left wingers making out they’re so clever, quoting selected Guardian, BBC etc articles and dissing this country, then caiming to be international business men and traders when most of them, with their ridiculous beliefs, would struggle to run a corner shop.

Not an I told you so, or anything like that from me. But this is a small example of BREXIT reality.

I feel sorry for him and his staff and I hope it doesn't finish him

Wasting your time PP, Oldgas is just trolling.

Very interesting particularly the "tucked away"termination clause.
Like all Agreeements of this size the interpretation into practice on the ground will be the deal breaker.
We all know that many Countries in the EU do not follow EU law/regulations and nothing is done,you only have to look at Health and Safety practices in Southern Mediterranean Countries.

Probably because it's not a real dynamic now issue for the media ,they would rather concentrate on the huge issue of fish😆.
I think over time our relationship will naturally evolve as trust is rebuilt and both sides realise that having beaucratic protocols that serve little purpose other than hinder trade it may all become more relaxed.
