topcat(The most tip top) Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 'People of colour' is an a bit of an Americanism, but there's nothing wrong with it as a term for non-white people. And in this context it would seem churlish to complain about Americanisms 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baxter Parp Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 From the Guardian: The EU is offering a free-trade deal that will be economically damaging to the UK and has ruled out a series of demands made by Theresa May, a document on the bloc’s vision of the future relationship reveals. The prime minister’s red lines limit what Brussels can offer the UK, the paper says, and in return for even a limited free-trade agreement the British government will have to sign up to a commitment not to become a low-tax, low-regulation state undercutting the EU model. The guidelines further warn that Brussels will not push on with negotiations on trade until May signs up to a legal text that translates all the commitments made by the UK government in the first phase of negotiations, including on avoiding a hard border on the island of Ireland. May has refused to accept the EU’s draft withdrawal agreement as it suggests Northern Ireland may need to effectively stay in the customs union and single market. The EU’s opening position on the trade talks says: “Negotiations can only progress as long as all commitments undertaken so far are respected in full, and calls for intensified efforts on the remaining withdrawal issues. The European council reiterates that nothing is agreed until everything is agreed.” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
