Reasoned and intelligent discussion on Brexit

[DimPrawn]

You'll have to pay (like Norway). And you'll have to do exactly what you're told (like Norway).

The Good News is you won't have to worry your pretty head about influencing any decisions. laws etc. The EU will look after all that for you. What's not to like?

The EU is like a self driving car. Sit back relax and enjoy the journey!

The downside is you have no say on when and where the car takes you.

No we won't because they cannot enforce it.

You potentially misunderstand the lengths a large number of people will go to throw of the yoke of tyranny.

Probably.

If there was a Nobel Prize for Self Delusion, I'd nominate you.

In over 40 years the 'large number of people' did nothing apart from put an X on a ballot paper issued by a pathologically stupid twat called Dave. Guess how much they'll do in the next 40 years.

My gut feel is there will be an eleventh hour capitulation by Mays govt to the EU with the softest Brexit imaginable. The pound will rocket when it is announced. It will basically be "staying in the EU" in all but name.

I used to think this but I don’t see a (transition) deal reached due to red lines on both sides; and I don’t see a full on crash out either - I see some emergency bilateral policy to keep planes flying, trucks rolling, security, trade etc.

This will imho be the best brexit outcome for both sides - it honours red lines - and keeps our nation’s operating reasonably smoothly with one another. Regarding Northern Ireland; an open border will remain in place BIND.

"Bilateral" is usually used when referring to 2 countries. So we'd have to have deals with every single EU country separately, which isn't feasible in any time frame.
If you're using "bilateral" to refer to the UK and the EU, then that "bilateral policy", as you call it, if it came to exist, amounts to the same thing as a "transitional deal" between the UK and the EU.

Doh!

I'm Happy with BRINO. It's not as good, but it'll have to do.

Brexiteers will hate it ("I can't stand people telling me I can't buy halogen bulbs after this month"). However the EU vehicle is being steered by 27 of the best and most UK-like countries in the world. We won't have a say but I don't have a say on which airways the pilot is flying when I go on holiday to Lanzarote. I'm comfortable he's taking an entirely sensible route, and I'm sure they will.

I am comfortable the people steering the vehicle will take a route which ensure's their own personal wealth and safety.

I do not think they could give a flying fook about any other human being.
