    Of course a moon landing is simple by comparison.

    Landing on the moon is just rocket science. Your average smartphone has enough computational power to work all that out.

    The Brexit negotiations will involve hundreds, possibly thousands, of individual people. Many, orders of magnitude of greater complexity than a moon landing.

    What if they say yes again? Best of five?

    And maybe a touch of courage and vision.

    A wing and a prayer more like. Cameron played high stakes poker thinking he could emulate the big city boys and lost. The debt was bad enough without flushing the economy down the loo. Best we can now hope for is a good sewage treatment works.

    The UK EU exit program reminds me more of the Soviet's moon landing effort than NASA's.

    Brexit however is dealing with irrational idiots who think miracles will happen after Brexit

    And he said a "new international body" - not the European Court of Justice - would monitor new trade arrangements."

    So why wasn't it on the referendum choice list? Should have been really like:

    1) Stay in EU
    2) Crash and die horribly whilst attempting Moon landing complexity Brexit

    Be a pussy or land on the moon.

    The process is turning out to be a lecture in understanding the actual benefits of EU membership rather than hyperbole offered by the Murdoch media.

    I wonder who that will be or if he is talking out of his arse? Actually it could be these guys: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intern...urt_of_Justice as it seems that the results they give out are non-binding apparently which would be nice for the Tories.

    Britain has in fact just lost a case there: https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...-a-blow-for-uk



    (Might not be the ICJ as it tends to be based in Europe!)
