And, for what it’s worth, the House of Lords have their own assessment of what a “no deal” option would be like. It’s not pretty. https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/l ... -190127789OK, so where are the reports, the analyses, the overwhelming evidence that Brexit will be good? I’m not asking for blind hope; the religious fervour of the Brexitears. I’d like to see real, proper, citable, reviewed, academic research. I suspect that there is none, or the Brexit-supporting press would be quoting every single day instead of the dog-whistle nonsense they currently are.

so the scaremongering continues post referendum. when we leave without any deal. the sky will not fall, again. the world will not stop turning, again. we will not sail over the edge of the flat earth, again.
will there be obstacles, yes. will there be change, yes. will there be challenges, yes. will things be volatile for a while, yes. all these are known factors none of which are insurmountable but rest assured we are not going to lay down and die just yet ...
and just to add. those that are deadly serious about their position, brexit therefore, see no need to exaggerate it. Hyperbole is the currency of bluffers and despots ...

Blind optimism. No evidence offered for these claims. There clearly is none. Brexit is more like a religion or a conspiracy theory more than anything else, clearly not evidence-led. The idea that any evidence to a contrary view is immediately turned into “well, they would say that, wouldn’t they" just demonstrates the unstable ground onto which it’s all been placed. David Davis’ fictional impact reports could have contained information that would support the Brexit plan just as much as it could present evidence that it would be problematic. He didn’t do them. And we’re being led down this path by this government, cheered on by those sticking their fingers in their ears and shouting “la la la ... everything will be fine ... la la la”. No, this has to stop. It’s gone on long enough.

and each one only exports to the EU under EU imposed WTO plus many others. difference ... we import more from the EU then we export which under WTO we would be in credit of about £135 million per year as it stands now. not withstanding other benefits ie 13.9 billion in payments. stop UK exports that are transferred to the EU for export outside of the EU, but, which go through EU ports (about 60+ %) and export directly to these countries we would have a credit of about £350 million per year with the EU under WTO. plus other benefits such as rebuilding and employment at these ports for export from the UK. as stated the EU would be paying us to trade. i am glad you posted so the differences in trade could be discussed, but am disappointed that you used the lowest common denominators ... ps. am i now on a 24 hour or 24 day ban (smile) ...

Some deal about the island of Ireland has been arrived at. No hard border, which is interesting as there’s your vector in and out of the EU. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-42277040I doubt the DUP is as happy as it appears to be with this. I wonder what they were offered to OK this one. Though: Does this mean we’ll be following EU rules but without any say in how they are made? Hmm.......... So we’re on to Phase 2 now, with no clear picture in Government of what a post EU UK will look like.

Unfortunately I can't ban you for being wrong or a blinkered tw*t . I can laugh though when you're out of a job, your pension is wiped out (& there's no state pension) and there's no money for benefits though

Unfortunately if that happens it will be all of us "laughing" as we huddle around a burning oil drum for warmth

UK citizens in EU have their rights protected, I will be interested to see what that means... Do I retain my right to work in the EU?

If it comes to that, we'll be burning the leave voters.

Hold your horses. David Davis has said that May's agreement isn't binding. The Irish foreign minister says that it is, and while the recommendation to move to Pbase 2 has been made, it's not starting yet, and this development may be enough to put the brakes on.
