Brexit Minister googles "What is the EU" after his appointment

The whole point of EU block and single market that no individual deals can be made to give different treatment for trade

Which is why it will ultimately fail, in much the same way as communism. For as we all know. we are NOT all equal.

Self-interest will trump this anachronistic cabal. We have just pulled the first brick from the wall.

You heard it here first.

He's a Computer Science graduate:

Shocker: Computer science graduate wins top political job • The Register

Probably explains a lot.

Ok, so the plan now to wait until EU fails just like communism (after 70 years) and only then invoke article 50 and negotiate separatly?

I think you will find the timescales involved will be fairly short indeed. You may even have time to order a new sofa.

But UK wil have to wait till EU totally breaks up, that's your view of the plan to exit???

No. Not at all. It will quite possibly be the accelerated sealing of separate deals BY the UK with interested EU members that will speed up the demise of the "single market". Do try and keep up, although I know it must be difficult when you have been raised with such a one-dimensional soviet mindset.

He's used to being told what to do. Makes him feel secure.

So you expect individual EU countries to break EU laws just because you don't care???

I think EU laws will start to change because the politicians within the countries with most to lose will make it change in their own self interest.

Remember 'no negotiation until Article 50'. Well that got broken within a day. So much for the rules.

You cretins make me laugh with your childish nonsense.
You're about to get a lesson in realpolitik when the EU (20% of world GDP) meets Britain (3% of world GDP).
But everyone with a brain (that clearly excludes you lot) knows that, hence why May has given the Brexit jobs to Brexiters.
When they invariably fail, this will be kicked in the long grass, but not before the economy has suffered hugely.
Eventually the penny will drop, even for you bone-headed thickos.

So you want to enter negotiations on the basis that the counter party will have to break their laws, that's your plan???
