Is the Biden win good or bad news for the U.K

[craft_ales_project]

How bad can it get for Johnson & his rich cronies? Oh dear it just got worse.. Reasons to be cheerful; Farage just dropped 10k on a loser!

Go sleepy Joe!! 'Make Merca... America again'..

Now with Trump gone it means no chlorinated chicken in return for selling the NHS to the US.

 

[Hanglow]

Why do you say that, that would be on Boris eta al, not trumpalumpa or Biden. The US pharma companies will still be licking their lips at the thought of the US state department getting stuck into de pfeffel and his abject cronies.

The best thing is that the UK is now much more likely to have a trade agreement with the EU, since Biden is not at all sympathetic to a UK/US trade deal. I think JoBo has been back-peddling to see who would win before seriously engaging with Europe. Bottom line, we're less likely to go hungry this winter.
I still think we should boycott turkeys this Christmas, though, to teach Erdogan a salutary lesson.

Just to clarify something gents - in the US, all international trade deals have to be passed by the house if Representatives

The house of representatives is obviously controlled by the Democrats, with their in-built dislike of the Brits.

So, any trade deal that Trump might have agreed with the UK was unlikely to have been passed anyway because the Dems would have blocked it

So nothing has really changed in that respect

There are more important things than chlorinated chicken like the nhs if they did a deal on chicken and not label which is which just dont buy chicken at all would soon be sorted, when are people going to realise how much power they have to change things

Wouldn't eating chlorinated chicken be good for fighting Coronavirus, i think Trump missed a vote winner there.

Especially not since you are living in fertile Bretagne

Yeah, I know, but I tend to think in terms of my kids and grandkids when I say "we". Bad habit, I know. Really must disassociate myself from such sentimental attachments. Thanks @chthon , I'll try and get a grip.

 

[Saisonator]

Bad thing.
Creepy Joe and the dems have little love for the UK and will side with the EU.
Joe has Irish ancestry and will put Ireland’s interests before ours.

 

[marshbrewer]

But that was always going to be the case because of who would pass any trade deal - the house if representatives which is controlled by the Democrats. Nothing has really changed in that respect.

I think it's 'Sleepy Joe' not 'Creepy Joe'?

It'll be like the Hokey Cokey by midnight.

It was trump who started calling him sleepy Joe. Trump gives insulting nick names to people he is scared of.
And the whole world is better off with that narcissistic assh0le gone.

Is left a reference to their political affiliations or just that they are wearing a flipper on their right foot?

 

[craft_ales_project]

It's always going to be tough in this world when we rely on self interested career politicians and 'muck spreaders' to run things. It's best left to local government/councils to help the people that live and work in their areas to provide the services and support that the people really need. For my money, true and meaningful devolution cannot come soon enough. Anyone who has worked in the public sector will know this, and decry the woeful decisions that have been made, often arbitrarily and with scant regard to the dedicated people that have given so much for so little

Didn't take long for our some of our members to get their left boot in.

Left boot in, right leg out

Anything that befalls us in terms of Brexit will be squarely the fault of our collective selves. Willingness to dump on the GFA from a great height and sacrifice it at the altar of Brexit was a decision made by our elected officials.

We get the country we deserve.

Whats that got to do with Biden?

Biden will stiff the UK to protect Ireland as discussed in the thread already, and probably quite rightly so.
