Trump threatened UK with 25% car tariffs unless it agreed to accuse Iran of breaking nuclear deal, hey, that was easy for the UK. "Iran, you broke the deal".

Today, Trump threatened the EU with 25% car tariffs and 25% on a host of other goods unless they get the trade deficit gone. Yep, that means US agri products for cars.

I would be much more worried about the EU/US negotiations. UK has no issue doing a deal with the US.

Umm. No. Here is U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin talking, in Davos yesterday, about the UK's intention to impose digital taxes:

"They’ll find themselves faced with President Trump’s tariffs.”

Just a taste of what's to come for the UK if they don't shut up and do what they're told.

The bit you're missing here is that this is another example of the US saying "Jump!", and the UK saying "How high?".

One could be forgiven for thinking that any US/UK trade deal is going to be somewhat one-sided ...

it was well covered by the UK media. I have little or no concern of this as the UK needs to bullish move towards a very low tax economy now anyway, something poeople and business will get to enjoy.

How is the EU gonna face being made to play fair or get shut out?

How is this different to taking rules from a bunch of communists in Brussels. At least the US is actually a powerful nation with a bright future.

That's where they'll go. Good little American poodles.

The EU will negotiate from a position of strength given its size. Britain well, no.

How is the forum holding up after Trump today at Davos, Javid doubling down yet again and the whining moans of a sucked Merkel.

I have no doubt just like the former Iraqi information minister they are saying all is good in the world.

EU has no strength for a fair deal with the US. They have blocked and winged it long enough and Trump is putting it to an end.

No more protectionism ..they're toast

I suppose the EU has been taking advantage of the US for quite a while, in fairness. Pity Trump didn't get around to sorting it out during his presidency. But look, he'll sort out a nice fair deal for the UK before leaving office because the UK is so important.

Your grasp of reality seems to have almost disappeared completely.

There is so much wrong with that statement I'm just going to laugh and move on.

now i know you don't have an idea what is going on in the world as you seem to be implaying that Trump is not gonna have a second term, and you are doing it with some certainty

You need to get used to Trump

Crypto's contributions carry all the intellectual weight of someone ringing a doorbell and running away.

Leave him at it; reality will intrude eventually and we can all move on then.

Well, if I were Johnson, I'd be hoping for a change of POTUS. No point finding yourself outside the tent trying to negotiate with a lunatic.

Still waiting on evidence I.e. links to back up your claim that you can't access public health services because you have private health insurance. Your earlier attempted deflection actually contracted what you said.

Why is that relevant? I am biologically male and I identify as female FWIW

Of course you do and it's obvious from your posts on gender studies etc.

So you meant one thing but said something completely different that couldn't be backed up. Seems familiar some how.

50 odd percent voting against the last EU treaty is hardly adoration. We know its not perfect but we'd be in a tough place without it.

Well I don't approve of any healthsystem that I pay from my taxes and still require to have a private health plan. The 7/8/9% of my taxes that goes to maintain a system I don't use should be refunded and I should be given the option to opt out of public health care if I am paying private.

If people want to stick with the public system it should be a choice. The system here is much worse thne the UK as we have to pay twice but are not allowed to use the public system.

So more I meant something but said something else that I can't backup.

You can use the public system here even if you have private health insurance.
