Nigel Farage has used his Ukip conference speech to accuse Tory ministers of fighting to remain in the EU | The Independent
You need to consider why all these analysts and politicians think a humiliating climb down from Brexit is possible.
For example could this be the reason ?
Britain will be irrelevant to China after Brexit, warns former French economy minister Emmanuel Macron | The Independent
or the fact that Greenland still exports almost everything to the EU 30 years after leaving because no-one else has any interest in buying its goods ?I'm alright JackComment

Originally posted by BlasterBates View PostIt's not me that's denying, I just posted the link, it's all the economists and not least Tory government ministers who are looking to torpedo Brexit.
If positions become entrenched, there are two possible outcomes, representing the extremes of the spectrum, i.e. Brexit is torpedoed along with May's gov't, or a hard Brexit becomes inevitable. An entrenched negotiation is absolutely a possible outcome because the EU, particularly the EC, have demonstrated their willingness for economic self-harm in the long-term interests of the project, and many of them see the four freedoms as inviolable. In that situation, my money is on a hard Brexit, in which case those Brits living elsewhere in the EU should probably look to secure their positions now, because May seems willing to use that as a bargaining chip too (which is pretty silly IMO).Comment

Way back in March, when I said I was against Brexit, one of the reasons was the loss of British prestige and standing in the world. Of course a small island with a small, highly indebted, economy relative to its continental neighbour loses any strategic value to the US (for political reasons), let alone the Asian countries who want access to the single market (hence economic reasons).
Geo-politically we become irrelevant - it's hard to see why Britain should keep its top table seat at the UN, for example.Hard Brexit now!

What do you mean by a "hard brexit"? Is that breaking all ties with the other European nations? Something else?{emotionless greeting}

Of course, Brexit threatens all of thatComment
