What did leavers think would happen following the Referendum if not a deal? This is just the start, we will be deal making for many a day. Let’s hope our deal makers are up to the job!
Are we not going to be trading with the EU at all then or is this just scaremongering?
Will Aldi & Lidl have to go back?
The UK is the EU’s biggest export market. I can’t see them turning down business from the UK. It would just become a game of tit for tat.
Well done Boris – Real Democracy in action. The remoaners don’t like it when their anti-democratic plans are thwarted. All we need now is the Gonner Lucas to put his oar in again. We see he was at a horticultural show the other day, obviously planning his plentiful time in his garden as soon he won’t have a job. That’s the result of not representing the clearly mandated views of the electorate. I hope it all results in an election when we can thank Boris and punish the Gonner, LUCAS.
Those MPs who don’t like leaving without a deal are going to have to put up or shut up. The extremes on both sides have spent the past three years pursuing their ideal scenarios rather than facing the realpolitik created when the country voted 52-48 to leave. I was one of the 48% (and still think we have more in common with our European neighbours than Britain’s former colonies, the USA and China despite the obvious problems of ‘ever closer union’) but I don’t recall anyone seriously demanding that Welsh devolution be halted when that was voted through 50.1% to 49.9%.
Parliament voted for a referendum. Parliament failed to add in any of the requirements made in the 1979 referendums. Then Parliament voted for Article 50 – Corbyn even wanted us to start withdrawal proceedings almost as soon as the votes were counted. Both Conservatives and Labour stood on manifestos in 2017 of implementing the referendum. They (and we) have made this dodgy bed that we will all have to lie on and no one else is to blame. Sadly it is not going to be a very comfy bed especially for the north, Wales (and its residents), farmers, fishermen, former industrial areas, users of the NHS, the environment, etc etc. However, Brexit is a great emperor sized bed of an opportunity for the City of London, multi-national corporations, Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin and friends. We will have taken back as much control as a homeless person has of his shop entrance way as will become obvious as soon as we are out and need to get these much discussed trade deals. Boris and the Brexiteers will still have to compromise, it will just be in a different way to the same people and a few new ones as well. However, so will the EU unless they want a toxic relationship with their neighbours.
