Whether it is a mistake or not will not be known for a generation.

 

So come back in 15 - 20 years and we can discuss whether it was a mistake or not.

Spare me the crystal ball, or that you can see the future shoite.

3. The Treaties shall cease to apply to the State in question from the date of entry into force of the withdrawal agreement or, failing that, two years after the notification referred to in paragraph 2, unless the European Council, in agreement with the Member State concerned, unanimously decides to extend this period.

Do you see anything about freedom of movement ?

Do you see anything about trade ?

Do you see anything in there that is difficult ?

Do you see anything in there that remainers constantly howl about ?

 

What has made it difficult is remainers bumping their gums and trying their utmost to keep the UK joined at the hip to the EU.

The EU has issued a veiled warning that it will not budge on its red lines after Theresa May unveiled her long-awaited Brexit plan.

JRM hit the nail on the head again.

 

Raab also faced a scathing response from the Conservative MP Jacob Rees-Mogg, the chair of the European Research Group of Tory Eurosceptics. In a statement he called the white paper “the greatest vassalage since King John paid homage to Philip II at Le Goulet in 1200”.

Rees-Mogg said: “This white paper has not needed age to turn yellow. There are very few signs of the prime minister’s famous red lines. It is a pale imitation of the paper prepared by David Davis, a bad deal for Britain. It is not be something I would vote for nor is it what the British people voted for.”

Continual P. Fear. Boring.

When the UK leaves the EU, any UK travellers will have to join the non-EU queues, unless of course there is yet another reciprocal agreement to be added to the negotiations.  That is not 'project fear' - what a cute name - it's reality, something that pro-Brexit people fail to acknowledge. Amongst other disastrous consequences about to befall the UK.

We already know that the electorate have been "prepared to admit they made a mistake" - as although they voted to join the EEC decades ago, they voted to leave the eu in the latest referendum!

The indignity of having to stand in a queue ?

 

I take it you have never traveled further than the confines of the EU. The above is standard practice throughout most of the World.

Ease of travel was not up front in the list of priorities for most leavers. If the EU want to adopt this stupid immigration strategy for UK passport holders after Brexit then that's up to it.

Fortunately, that's a problem for eu countries as well as the uk.

 

I've no doubt that if the uk made it clear that it was genuinely leaving - the eu would start talking trade very quickly!

 

The population of various eu countries are already unhappy with the eu, and companies would become equally unhappy if there is no trade deal.

A company in the EU can compensate for the loss of trade with the UK by dealing with other counties (inside or outside of the EU). The UK, on the other hand will lose all of its trade deals (because they are currently still trading via the EU made deals).

Companies in the EU are already looking for alternatives in the case of a hard Brexit, but what can UK companies do?

Here is a Brexit business opportunity for you.

 

Take your negativity and bottle it. You have a market of at least 16 million in the UK alone that will need at least a bottle a week to satisfy their negativity.

 

At £1 a bottle you will be rich beyond your wildest dreams within a month.

 

Turn that negativity into creativity and hop to it

It's really not worse. Already tariffs imposed by the US on British goods are very low, If anything, the US will insist on the UK lowering its food standards to allow US agribusiness to decimate UK agriculture and food manufacturing.

No, just economics 101. See the chart that Teebee posted.

 

Also, days before the vote the polls suddenly showed Remain having a clear lead. The GBP rose 10% on the strength of that. When the result was announced, the GBP tanked by 30%. Remain = strong pound, Brexit = weak pound.

 

Any expats who rely on a strong stock market and a high value pound will have to consider packing their bags and going home if we leave with no deal. Quite a few have already. Maybe that's what you secretly want?
