It would need another referendum and even then, it should be on the post-EU settlement, not a re-run. A very soft Brexit would limit the damage, but if people want to vote for madness, now that they know what madness is, they should go ahead.

Tricky, init?Originally posted by sasguru View PostIt can't be done that way. A hard Brexit has to be undertaken and any negative consequences (of which I am certain there will be many) have to be gone through.

I haven't heard him talk about supply chains or passporting or if and how self-employed IT contractors will be able to sell their services into the EU.
Just glib soundbites.
Brexit has become a cult for some, something that has to be pursued to the end regardless of consequences.
