The only out now is a no deal exit and the sooner the better, Europe can sort things out amongst themselves.
you dont think the EU will get their revenge??...
They most certainly will, dear. They're called tariffs - a tax on everything sold to a European country. There goes Mother's primary market.
Then there's import regulations. If Britain changes her controls and export regulations, the EU won't let her in, which means they'll need to stay the same as European controls, defeating the purpose of leaving in the first place.
And then, customs. Mother gave up negotiations on a soft Brexit when the EU demanded a border in Northern Ireland. This can never happen with the Democratic Ulster Party holding the balance of power in the British parliament. Reintroducing a border would bring back the Troubles.
There's transport. What checks will apply at the border? What visa should European truck drivers get? Mother will keep visa-free entry for EU passport holders, again defeating the purpose of Brexit - at least until driverless trucks are invented.
Britain's primary market is Europe. It is fully integrated into Europe - an economic plan made in the 1970s, when Britain lost all her colonies (export markets) and went broke. The EU saved Mother. Now?
Leaving Europe will do Mother in. Brexit is the biggest national suicide note ever written. Britain will become the rationed, declining power it was after WWII. Forget the shortage of food and medication, Mother will have no one to
buy her products. As she stands, Britain is heading for decades of recession, and for what? British pride?
Europeans know Brits well. They're the ones with the St George's cross painted onto their faces marauding down their streets, drunk on Europe's cheap beer.
Now mother won't have anyone to express her pride
to.Fellow whinging poms hardly count.
