It's no wonder they ain't going to be happy.
You couldn't make it up. But anyway those of us in the "liberal elite" will still get our cleaners and nannies:

I asked on another thread but it obviously confused the Remnant community as none of them answered the question.

Don't forget, it's a hard currency debt, so UK PLC can't just inflate its way out of it.Comment

Brexit will be a success, because Brexit will be the name of what we have at the end, which will be an awesome deal to retain close ties with the EU, but enough 'separation' that the idiots can be told that we've left the EU (which we will have done). We'll be outside the fold of the path towards a federal Europe, but you better believe that there is NO appetite in the political classes beyond public rhetoric for a bad deal - or no deal.
The line from the EU about hoping that one day we'd rejoin, means that it is in their interest to ensure that in the event we rejoined, we'd still be a successful economy that can make net contributions and that our regulatory regimes were already aligned. There will be a UK-EU Customs Agreement, there will be a UK-EU Free Trade Agreement and there will be free movement of workers, capital, goods and services. The UK will continue to pay money into the EU pot as a proportion of the EU institutions we use, without us paying for shiny new roads in Romania. It'll look, taste and smell like the Norway model, except it wont be called that, it'll be called the British model.
Of course, we wont rejoin the European Union, ever. Why would we? The only economies interested in joining the EU are those that would rather like some of the flow of EU funds towards them.Taking a break from contractingComment

I think SASGuru has a rare form of Tourettes. Instead of swearing it manifests itself as in the inappropriate use of Emjoi's.

Re: the highlighted bit: that may or not be true, but it's the political classes who'll be deciding the deal.
And it cannot be better for us than our current arrangement - that should be obvious to all but the very stupid.Hard Brexit now!

The positive thing is there will be a further option to becoming an EU citizen without leaving Britain, just move North.
