" So now the hard Brexiters say, with astonishingly cynical mendacity, that Britain would be better off going it alone. This approach plays fast and loose with ordinary people’s livelihoods. Yet still, with jingoistic horns and trumpets drowning out the roar of the deep, the stampede towards the cliff’s edge gathers pace."

Barnier’s stance, if unchanged, presages a negotiations humiliation for the government. Yet more threatening for the ultra-hard Brexit brigade and the lie factories of Fleet Street was Barnier’s vow to spell out what leaving the EU really entails for the British people. “We need to tell the truth and we will tell the truth to our citizens about what Brexit means,” Barnier said, his point being that, until now, here and elsewhere, such truths have been deliberately concealed, ignored or distorted. How galling, and how ironic, that the country, the “mother of parliaments” that boastfully styles itself the home of modern representative governance, should need a lesson in open democracy. But needed it is. Truth and common sense are in short supply as Britain charges towards the precipice.

Daniel Hannan: “Absolutely nobody is talking about threatening our place in the Single Market“
Nigel Farage: “Wouldn’t it be terrible if we were like Norway and Switzerland? Really?“
Daniel Hannan: “Outstandingly Norway.“
Nigel Farage: “They’re rich.“
Owen Paterson: “Because only a madman would actually leave the Single Market.“
Nigel Farage: “They’re happy.“
Luke Johnson: “We have a great independent future just as countries like Norway and Switzerland enjoy.“
Nigel Farage: “They’re self-governing.“
Daniel Hannan: “Norway, Switzerland, all these countries have complete free trade within the EU, and by the way I can’t help noticing that they’re doing pretty well.“
Nigel Farage: “And people say, ‘well actually, Norway, Iceland and Switzerland do pretty well.’“
Matthew Elliott: “The Norwegian option, the EEA option, I think that it might be initially attractive. Some business people.“
Nigel Farage: “You know, the Norwegians have no ties in terms of foreign policy with the European Union, no ties in terms of their fishing industry where they have a 200 mile limit. They are opted out and exempted from all the things that really make the British mad.“
Arron Banks: “Increasingly the Norway option looks the best for the UK.“
Nigel Farage: “We’ll find ourselves part of their European Economic Area, and with a free trade deal.“
Daniel Hannan: “But, to repeat, absolutely nobody is talking about threatening our place in the Single Market.”Comment

Yup, both nearly debt free countries who pay a substantial amount to trade with the EU whilst having to agree to free movement. Looking forward to see how that rUK is going to sidestep those prerequisites."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark TwainComment

Barnier’s stance, if unchanged,
Here is the nub of the argument. His stance WILL be changed, so there we have it.
He is just another "wind and piss" europhile that is about to get a short sharp wake-up call.
The French don't call him "Le cretin des Alpes" for nothing you know.
“The period of the disintegration of the European Union has begun. And the first vessel to have departed is Britain”Comment
