Now you still imagining that the UK is country that actually makes things. Thatcher got rid of all that. Now we make most of out money from finance and other invisibles. Most of that will evaporate post a no deal brexit as UK firms will be unable to work in the EU due to being no longer licenced.

Jacob Rees-Mogg’s plan is that we will be the new British Virgin Isles, free from the inquisitive purview of those who would hamper our money-laundering industry.

 

If that’s not the industry where you work, you might consider some dramatic reskilling

Britain as an offshore tax haven, a low wage, low tax, regulation free, workers rights free, NHS free,  paradise for spivs, Tories and others. The ordinary working man will end up like the guest workers in Doha or Abu Dhabi. It is beyond belief that many of them voted on the basis of sovereignty, taking back control, and Immigration. Ironically Boris's plans will make them feel like immigrants in what they call "Their own country".

 

What is it all about - money of course - the hedge fund managers are shorting sterling all the time, Boris's little gift to them. These are the people who will be in control, not ordinary folk. We was gubbed!

You’re not a very good bully.  If you want to bully people, you have to hurt them first, see how they react, and then threaten them.

 

The EU will do fine without us; some companies may suffer, some belts may be tightened, their policies may change against what we would have liked, but they will go on.

 

We will be faced with a loss of any influence in our second-biggest market, after our domestic market.

 

Anyway, onwards and upwards, no pain without gain, strength through adversity, strength through joy, eh?

The eu will do fine without us?how long do you honestly think the eu will last once we leave?can,t see the French and German taxpayers contributing more,nor all the banana republics they let in.

Just get out, Boris, do your thing then fire all the tossers in Parliament who opposed you ! (that,s what Donald would do !).

Business wise, any well made product put out at a reasonable price is going to attract customers, who are interested in value for money, not politics ????

Which is why there is no British owned car industry, but you are right, Mercedes and BMW will still sell cars in the UK.

It has been stated elsewhere (by the EU) that a trade deal could be implemented extremely quickly if UK fulfills it's obligation in full by severing all contact and negotiating as an truly independent state rather than one with an elastic band around it's gonads.

 

Stated where?

 

Or is this yet another of your 'facts' which you can't substantiate?

you sound like an expat in Thailand, the country will go broke without us retirees. The Uk is a net contributor but a lot of money also flowed back, Cornwall and Wales will miss the EU money as will Scotland and some parts of Northern England.

Both Conservative and Labour MPs were elected on manifesto commitments to implement Brexit with-or-without a deal. Those parties plus the DUP gained 85% of the votes in the 2017 election.

 

In 2017 only the Tories said they would "implement Brexit with or without a deal." Labour said 

Quote

Labour recognises that leaving the EU with ‘no deal’ is the worst possible deal for Britain and that it would do damage to our economy and trade. We will reject ‘no deal’ as a viable option and if needs be negotiate transitional arrangements to avoid a cliff-edge’ for the economy. 

 

That's from Labour's manifesto (page 24).

 

For a brief summery of the other parties position, see under "Brexit" at General election 2017: Manifesto guide on where the parties stand.

 

The Tories achieved just 42.4% of the vote (source).

 

Which means that 57.6% of voters voted for parties who said that they would not leave without a deal.

 

I thought Brexiteers believed in democracy?

You’ve obviously not been involved in drafting European standards.  The ones I have to deal with have British footprints all over them. At the moment.

To be expected given they're in English & relying on Common law; or at least were until the supreme court torpedoed it last week.

 

Do tell.

 

How did the Supreme Court torpedo such standards?

 

Can you tell us how the Supreme Court blocked Brexit while you're at it?

 

Hint; the answer to both questions is "They didn't!"

Evading the question again. As expected.

 

Will you ever produce anything to substantiate the opinions you are so very fond of posting facts? 

 

Maybe one day you'll even explain what the 'right said fred' route is; are you trying to shift a piano?

 

Or do you have an unhealthy obsession with your own body image?

You and Jacob Rees-Mogg believe that our industrial nation is worth nothing, and that we are no more than a financial coin-op laundromat.  But that is not true.  Our engineering and manufacturing industry is thriving, as a supplier to our neighbours in the EU, and on the back of international inward investment that finds the UK the best-placed location for manufacturing in the EU.  

 

Anyway, you can't make an omelette without breaking eggs, and the loss of skilled jobs, manufacturing and physical exports is a small price to pay if we can avoid financial scrutiny of our trade deals, apparently.

We could implement a trade deal very quickly, if it looked like Theresa May's withdrawal agreement.  

 

We could prevent a deal ever being agreed, if we so chose, whichever suited our own personal agenda better.

In an ideal world, we would have voted for a party and prime minister to carry out these negotiations on our behalf, but instead, the Tories have chosen an outrageous charlatan as the face of the UK and the head of their miniority government.  If only they had any friends in parliament.  Or anywhere.

 

At least it's stopped Brexit.  Good job, Boris.  You've done what May could not.

The biggest impact will be on the gdp of the UK. When the advantage of free market access breaks away.

Exchange rate technically, the British pound has already slipped off fat to all other major currencies. The big international corporations, which are mass-market oriented, will gradually shift their capacities whether for physical or non-physical products.

Well, it is something which is almost, but not quite, totally unlike humour!

 

Still, your attempts do get you lot's of likes from your mates; which must make you happy.

They'll want to keep their bases in the UK for the sake of Britannia and Queen Victoria.  Tariffs are a small price to pay if you can maintain an office in the shadow of the Liver Bird, or Victoria Station.  So long as our football teams can play in Europe, there will be an opportunity for those that can turn Nelson's eye to the source of funds

 

OK, your football teams.  Nobody's going to waste money laundering it through Scottish football after the debacle at Hearts

Faux outrage?  I just asked a simple question.

Who said that your comment was humourous?  I would be grateful for the pointer.

My own sense of humour is sadly lacking, after my country was betrayed by right-wing buffoons who seem closer to splitting my country up than separating it from Europe; who seem closer to destroying our proud British institutions than divorcing them from our European friends and neighbours.  

 

Please try and help me see the jolly side, because I am struggling

The only answer you will get is: For our independence. Then you'll hear something about the UK fishery, and that's it.

 I don't believe in ignoring members whose opinions I don't share.

 

We all post opinions, but only a few, you included, pretend their opinions are fact.

 

That you consider asking you for the source of your 'facts' is baiting says a lot about you.
