EU climbing down?

[oldcolner]

EU are preparing to climbdown on one of its Brexit red lines and concede to UK demands to keep trade links without free movement, it was today reported by the Times.

The EU is set to say that it will allow Britain to stay in the single market for goods while still being able to bring in border controls.

Theresa May has been on a charm offensive to desperately try to drum up support for her Chequers Brexit plan amid fears that the UK could crash out of the bloc without a deal next March.

But Brussels is said to be demanding its own concessions in return from the UK which could bind the UK to EU red tape and hamper the country's ability to do free trade deals.

They want the Prime Minister to pledge that the country will copy all new EU environmental, social and customs rules, The Times reports.

European leaders are expected to bring the proposal to the table when the heads of member states meet in Salzburg in Austria next month.

So they'll let us leave a little bit, so long as we stay in a lot, and pay them for the priviledge, whilst having no say on the rules we'd have to accept.

Bollox to that.

But that's just it with the EU, there is no one to tell. Who makes the laws, how do you vote them out if you don't like their laws, who apppoints the law-makers in the first place ?
