Is a bad Brexit a Brexit that fails and we have no Brexit, or a successful Brexit, where we actually get a full on Brexit?
My plan is to have more fun, travel more and laugh at politicians.First Law of Contracting: Only the strong survive -
A bad Brexit is where the economy tanks and the plans you outline in your last sentence are incapable of achievement because you find it difficult to work.Originally posted by _V_ View PostIs a bad Brexit a Brexit that fails and we have no Brexit, or a successful Brexit, where we actually get a full on Brexit?

2. You're clearly not a real contractor if you think the public sector is a valid place to work.
3. Following on from 2, the public sector will shrink considerably in the event of a bad Brexit, since the private sector will too. Money doesn't grow on trees, contrary to popular belief.Hard Brexit now!
