Tory Brexit DOOM™: No deal

[BlasterBates]

Don't make be trawl back through your appalling predictions in recent years.

I've always predicted either no deal or a deal that is substantially different than the EEA. The former is consistent with no transition. Soft Brexit is heading the same way as CretinWatcher and remain ultras who are, ironically, now indistinguishable from the most ardent kippers. Admittedly, the former prefer blue leotards and the EU flag.

You said a transition deal where the things would remain as they are was not going to happen because you saw an interview with David Davies, ultra remainers are deluded in thinking that and then words to the effect of March 2019 is approaching "Tick tock".

The "Tick tock" now makes no sense as it is clear on March 2019 nothing changes.

The next step in the great Brexit betrayal is an extension of the 2 year transition.

You're clearly taking this well if you can recall specific phrases. Or perhaps you have the actual words in front of you and you're trying to be cute

Either way, prepare your leotard and codpiece. I sense a protest in your future.

I find it interesting that you think I will be "disappointed" if there is a Hard Brexit. If a hard Brexit as you think you're going to get would lead to UK economic success why would I be bothered ? Far from it, it doesn't bother me one way or the other. It isn't going to be a huge success though, it will simply be a massive f** up.

Your predictions are no great cop either. Remember the result of the General Election?

Personally I couldn't give a toss about brexit anymore but this just shows the incompetence of the people running the ngotiations from the UK side

What's a "Hard Brexit"?

For someone that isn't disappointed, you do an excellent impression of a malcontent

But then the UK will need to join the Amerozone and set up the secret FEMA internment camps.

What's a "Hard Brexit"?

Where have you been?

BBC gives reasonable description:

There is no strict definition of either, and they sometimes mean different things to different people, but they generally refer to the closeness of the UK's relationship with the EU, post-Brexit.

So at one extreme, "hard" (or "clean") Brexit could involve quitting without a deal in place.

This would mean no compromise on issues like the free movement of people, leaving the EU single market and trading with the EU as if it were any other country outside Europe, based on World Trade Organization rules.

This would mean - at least in the short term before a trade deal was done - the UK and EU would probably apply tariffs and other trade restrictions on each other.

At the other end of the scale, a "soft" Brexit could involve keeping close ties with the EU, possibly through some form of membership of the European Union single market, in return for a degree of free movement.

It is abundantly clear that the deal with Japan or Canada would be a deal equivalent to a "Hard Brexit". A deal similar to Switzerland is a "Soft Brexit".

May specifically said it wouldn't be EEA and it wouldn't be CETA. That means it will be Switzerland. oh yeah it isn't Switzerland it's special, just flannel; if it walks like Switzerland and it talks like Switzerland it might have a different name but it's still Switzerland.

The reason why she explicitly avoids using the terms Soft Brexit and Hard Brexit is because she is aiming for a Soft Brexit and that causes the Brexiteers to gnash their teeth, by removing the "prefix" she can let them wallow in their fantasies a while longer. Slogans such as "Brexit means Brexit", or "There's no such thing as a Soft Brexit, there is just Brexit" keeps all those Brexiteers off her back.
