Of course there was, Article 50 specifies that a withdrawal agreement should be put in place before membership comes to an end. The withdrawal agreement deals with social and financial matters and has nothing to do with trade.

Theresa May in her usual style tried to circumvent the regulations in an attempt to put it all under one umbrella. When the EU pointed out that was not the Article 50 that the UK had signed up to, the brexiteers as usual blamed the EU.

No. 

 

Article 50 states that the Union shall negotiate and conclude an agreement with that State, setting out the arrangements for its withdrawal, taking account of the framework for its future relationship with the Union. 

 

Article 50 also states that 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 notification to withdraw, unless the European Council, in agreement with the Member State concerned, unanimously decides to extend this period.

 

But Article 50 does not specify that a withdrawal agreement has to be in place before membership comes to an end.

I don't think this is correct.  The EU insisted on a withdrawal agreement (including the 'divorce bill') being implemented before trade negotiations could commence, and May went along with it. Article 50 doesn't specify this timetable / sequence as far as I'm aware.  Do you have a link to prove otherwise?

Immigration is not a problem...it is those who fear it and those who twist it to suit their own agenda who are the problem.

Brexit will not change immigration as it is governed by international laws.

One wave of immigrants it will cause will be elderly expats from Spain who suddenly find themselves without access to pension or healthcare.

Apart from them can anyone cite people living in the EU who plan to move to UK because they think Brexit is such a good idea?

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.

What Article 50 does not address is the Treaties coming to an end without a withdrawal agreement in place. Probably thought that no member state would ever be mad enough to take that route.

Feel free to interpret things any way you want, does not change anything. The EU is in the driving seat and always will be, whatever you say.

"they need us more than we need them" - the brexit myth.

 

In fact I may have come to the conclusion that "no deal" is the best way forward.

 

However, the influential pollster Sir John Curtice has suggested that this might be changing. An overview of polls by the elections expert revealed a marked swing in favour of independence among people who voted to remain in the EU referendum.

Curtice says: “It would seem that the Brexit impasse has motivated some Remain supporters in recent months to re-evaluate their attitudes towards the union.

And even after the brits. voted to leave, were arrogant enough to decide the 'best way forward' was to continue - rather than accepting any kind of reform ☹️.

It may not be a problem for you, however for many people who actually live in the U.K. it’s a very big problem,examples being employment,housing 

medical treatment, schooling and crime. But don’t you worry yourselfish self,as I’m sure these will not effect you.

You are perfectly free to believe that leaving without an agreement would be an outcome from rational thinking, obviously biased that way but time to face reality. Brexit is not and never has been in the interests of the UK public. Gatt 24, another unworkable theory.

 

“If there is no agreement, then Article 24 would not apply, and the standard WTO terms would,” said Mr Azevedo.

Standard WTO terms involve tariffs of anything up to 10 per cent on cars and 35 per cent on dairy products. If the UK were to waive tariffs unilaterally for EU exporters under these terms, it would have to do the same for all 164 WTO members around the world or face charges of breaching fair access rules.

As far as some brexiteers are concerned, foreigners are foreigners even if they are born in the UK.

 

A pensioner who told a black woman “when Brexit comes you will be gone” has been fined £600.

The report said hate crime was one of the consequences “unleashed upon many minority communities” by the 2016 EU referendum, after which there was a spike in reports.

“The nature of the attacks was serious – characterised by physical assaults, threats to life and stabbings,” it added.

Of course it is all down to EU immigrants who have single handedly decimated UK services. Absolutely nothing to do with government policy and underfunding.

Time you faced reality and accept there is hate crime being carried out by brexiteers, and there are brexiteers that blame everything on immigrants.

I will however apologise for omitting the word 'some' and have edited the post.

I should point out that the initial comment was in respect of the article and not general.

Article 50 doesn't stop the two parties from negotiating a withdrawal agreement and a trade agreement at the same time. You seemed to suggest that May wanted this, but it would have been breaking the rules.

In any case, it's clear that May let the EU negotiators set the pace and dictate the rules of engagement from the outset. A strong UK PM wouldn't have let that happen.

Not as much as Brexiteers and haters of anyone not of British descent would like to make out. I have several family members working in the NHS. They all agree that the NHS is at breaking point. Not one of them blame immigrants, they all put the blame squarely on a spectacular lack of funding by the government.

As far as many nations are concerned, place of birth does not confer their nationality. Think horses and stables.
Trying to paint Brexiteers as racist also does not cut it. You also do not even know the Brexit leanings of any of those concerned in your points. They could have easily been young middle class left wing graduate southern Remainers.
The problem of UKs overpopulation is still with us, no matter how you try to vilify those who raise the issue. Our EU membership contributes to the problem.
