Re: Hard Brexit or Hard Brexit
well, I'd agree except that there are any number of perfectly nice, sane britons who do not need to suffer from living on the same island as a bunch of yahoods.

It would only be for a year or two. They will be crawling back to the EU.

Re: Hard Brexit or Hard Brexit
except the fact that, having been royal thorns in the foot since 1971 , and pulling off that brexit rigmarole, I just can't count all the EU states that would oppose their coming back in, when a single no is enough to veto the whole vote...
I wish Scotland would secede and be accepted in on a fast track.

Re: Hard Brexit or Hard Brexit
EDIT: response to last posy of SD.
'm not so sure. My take on it is that the UK economy will crash dive if we leave with next to no deal. The poorest in the land will of course suffer the most.
Give it five years and I can see the 'benefits' of leaving beginning to pay off. Potentially a lot of short to medium term pain mind you.

Re: Hard Brexit or Hard Brexit
well, we'll all be on front seats to check the short and medium term results... but the poor will get poorer, even when the economy rights itself up.

Turning into a third world country by then? A tax haven? A 1930's Cuba for rich Americans to exploit? I cant see a model that would fit?Rum wrote: ↑Mon Jul 16, 2018 8:50 amEDIT: response to last posy of SD.

Re: Hard Brexit or Hard Brexit
But I doubt that a majority of those who voted Leave expected or wanted an unnegotiated exit that would see the UK throwing itself on the mercy of the WTO and going cap in hand to the IMF while the entire economy is restructured. Most Leavers thought that everything would remain about the same, just with less foreigners and more money for the NHS.Rum wrote:There are members of the Tory party - and the public - who want exactly that.

Re: Hard Brexit or Hard Brexit
No, the UK won't be back for a generation or two, if at all, and only then if the EU has a rebrand so we can fool ourseleves were joining something different.

Re: Hard Brexit or Hard Brexit
Plan A was that the EU would break up and the UK along with major players would form a new EFTA.
Plan B was they thought the EU would help them and give preferential treatment and position while they cherry picked and had their cake and eat it.
Plan C was the Norwegian variation.
Every option possible.
Plan Y was the no deal variation. Surviving on WTO.
Plan Z last chance saloon as the 51st state.
