Brexit = breaks it.... (my own)...

Polly Toynbee reports on the Guardian...


So, a commentator for whom I have high regard puts down in words that which only the interminably thick or the truly indifferent could care to miss...
Brexit was, is and continues to be the single biggest elected 'howler' of the last fifty years... Notwithstanding the many other howlers in British financial undoings, labour and conservative both have resided over financial troubles, domestic and foreign, but nothing, and I mean nothing can hold a candle to the destruction that the 'no deal' possibility will present...
Yesterday, we laughed and joked about Mars bars, yep, I put that up under 'comedy', because you can see the silly side of news (as can I), but when a no deal presents Britain with the promise of goods and labour shortages, the promise of established business's and skilled labourers relocating to more favorable trading environments, the very solid realization that the rest of Europe, while looking on, and in some cases seeing the bellwether outcome as a metre for their own departure, what becomes apparent is that Britain will be left to paddle its own canoe, and while it might be a nice canoe, Europe will be steaming along in an ocean liner... I said before, and I'll say it till I'm blue in the face, *The only winners in brexit are the ones who can afford not to be affected by its fallout*....everyone else looses.... What earthly good is your sovereignty when you don't have an empire to draw on to support your people?...
I have been pulled up for 'speaking against my nation of birth', I have been labeled a traitor by one for speaking my truth, but I speak from listening to history, and listening to the wisdom of financiers, and let's face it, no one in the business district wants to see Britain crash and burn, but if the agreement, the back stop and the attitude of the other member states doesn't fall beautifully into line like a Torville and Dean ice figure skating routine that's what's going to happen...
The business market works differently, everything is 'just in time', a boarderless Britain is not a luxury to a sustainable Britain, it's a living breathing necessity....
Would the leavers have voted had they been in possession of more of the facts?... I'd like to think yes, but then again, there will always be a cohort who hyjack their country's well being for a singular cause or the promise of a brighter future...
I don't do politics as a rule, and if I drop the occasional 'p bomb', it's usually as a bit of heat and a wind up, but this is my bit where it's for real...
Brexit effects everyone, not just the 17 million 'ayes', the whole of the British isles, the brits abroad, the holidaying Europeans, trading agreements, business residency, currency and market values...and I'm not an analyst and I can see this....
I wish the British isles well, and have a load of admiration for Theresa May, a woman who has been handed a poison chalice of an undertaking while having to watch her cabinet dissolve underneath her, evidence if it were needed that many a worthless sod is looking to save their own skin....
I wanted to *say my piece* since politics and free speech is still allowed here, even if it's not taken seriously or valued half the time...
You can discuss, ignore, pillory or comment as you please...
I'll watch.... wave

On the other hand the EU won't survive one more round of mass immigration or a global recession.

AS far as I heard Teresa is still at the helm, and we are sailing towards a definite March Brexit, there is a lot of uninformed speculation, and false news going around.

Wait until Brexit is reality and see how other countries follow...
No wonder the East didn't sign the last open border immigration policy...
There's something valuable to be learnt from your inferiors...

Rats from a sinking ship accurately describes the situation. The EU is sinking and Brexiteers seldom do belong to the best of the British. Sinking ship one side, rats on the other

The EU should have stayed small, only west-European countries.
I wonder what Italy will do now they got problems with the EU, will they leave as well?
When will the Netherlands follow the UK?

The EU has too many influence on things where they shouldn't have anything to say at all.
It will never be the United States of Europe, allthough they seem to try.

Sadly, the politicians will ensure that Brexit never happens.
