Another Three Years of Brexit

Shut up, big nose!

Your nose is going to be three foot wide across your face by the time I've finished with you!

A bit more than the cheese-makers?

With the pressure being placed on the Tories to deliver “the Brexit that the democratic majority voted for”, it appears that hard Brexit is the default, which will have several on here rejoicing as that appears to be what they want.

[WTFH]

Won't happen. The harsh reality will be far too much to stomach. Big business will apply massive pressure. Boris will succumb.

Let me remind you once again: this isn't just screwing up trade with our biggest customer/supplier. It's screwing up trade with the whole of the rest of the world as well. That's almost as much as the EU!

The Canada deal negotiations took from 2009 -2016 and is still not fully in place today. Only parts are provisionally in place.
And you think Boris can do it in 3 years?

Canada is the 10th biggest economy and on the other side of the world. The UK is around the 5th biggest with twice the size of Canada and right next to the EU. However difficult it has been to do the Canada deal, it wil be much harder for Britain Minus Minus. The EU will be much more careful and will understandably be only too happy to take advantage of their massively superior bargaining position and the abject weakness of the incompetent, shambolic, pathetic Tory government.

The fallback position when the Tories fail to do anything between now and December 2020 is that we have a hard Brexit, that means forget about Canada Minus, it will be WTO rules at best and nothing more than that.

With an attitude like that, you may as well end it all now. Just don't take anyone innocent with you.

Sounds remarkably like the Guy Fawkes option.

Almost certainly the Boris Junta will get in. That will start the Transition Period which will have to be extended another two years. At the end of it will be Canada Minus Minus.

Bad news for contracting. Companies won't know what's going to happen for years so can't jump into change projects any time soon.
