Give it up.

Why doesn't Britain just get a bunch of those plastic dough boy pools 

and farm their own fish?

Most of the stuff people eat are sourced that way anyway.

Not according to this bloke....????

    I’m surprised this needs an “explainer” after so many years. 

  • Please note the fact that it will be Mutual chaos.   As the EU is bigger than the UK their chaos will therefore be bigger than that in the UK.    Bring it on the EU have more to lose!

I think most people will be glad one way or the other getting a deal or no deal done 

Its gone on long enough

Time will tell if voting to come out of the EU was a good thing or not

Personally I would have preferred to stay in but the Brexiteers won

So for better or worse let's just get on with it

It will never be done or over. Brexit is an illusion. European integration is a fact. Deeply integrated supply chains will not just change over night. British consumers will not just change over night. Criminals will not just change over night. There will be enormous pressure from all angles to strike a deal even after this deadline. In fact, the pressure will increase with each and every day. Expect that these negotiations will continue.

if you ask the Brits living in France or Spain, they are staying in their property and not leaving even of it means never to return to the UK ????

 

So this 3 month/3 month thing is just a load of balls then?

And expect that this never-ending doom-mongering will also continue.

Of course it will. Because what you call “doom-mongering” isn’t doom mongering; there will be consequences of a no-deal Brexit, and those suffering from it will lobby for change. Not everyone has “sovereignty” as their ultimate goal.

  Are you unaware that if there isnt a trade deal between the UK and the E.U , we can still continue trading under WTO rules and regulations ?

   There is nothing to stop Brits living in Spain and France returning to the UK .

As long as they have applied for residency in those Countries and adhere to the residency rules , thay can stay as long as they like and come and go as they please .

  As I recall foreign residents living in the UK had to visit the UK at least once every two years to keep that residency

It is far from sad, it is a consequence of the Labour Party and the SNP et al trying to bring down the government instead of trying to work a deal out. By voting againgst and/or abstaining on everything put in front of them is the reason we are at this juncture today. Take some responsibility for once and accept that democracy has triumphed in the UK. Long live democracy.

 

 

 

I remind you that your avitar voted against the deal too.

  Boris voted against the half-leaving , half-staying in deal , which wasnt really the Brexit people voted for

That is the problem we face to a T.

 

People keep thinking we have to get a deal...it's a no brainer.......but the Tories will not  be damaged in the same that the hard working man in the street will be or huge industries and their shareholders.

 

As Boris said '<deleted> business' and he meant it.

 

This is just a game to the Tories....... all reliving the war and dreaming of past empires.....pathetic.

I'm waiting for the Brexiteers to start complaining that they were not expecting some of the things in theat explainer list.

"Gyppo" is a racist term. No different to calling someone a "pakki". However, seeing his avitar he'd probably have no problem with that either.

Where did I say that’s not the case? Trading under WTO rules would exactly be the scenario that I was referring to.

  No one is suggesting or expecting there to be a new cold war between the UK and the E.U.

There wont be another Iron Curtain going up

This is my first post on the topic but it doesn't take an iron curtain to affect trade. Just a 10 per cent tariff can distort trade decisions and make something that was previously profitable become unprofitable. 

So many decisions the EU have made have distorted trade to the point where it was cheaper for Africans to buy canned tomatoes from Italy when, if there was free trade, they would make there own and be exporting to Europe. But that's a different topic.
