So to summarise Brexit on day 1 after Article 50

[BlasterBates]

As one European politician pointed out, Brexit is all about giving up control

At the end of the day Britain, or what's left of it will be "kow-towing" to the EU, because it's their most important market, and now they have no say.

The average Brexiter is going to find out why 75% of MP's and the entire Civil Service wanted to stay in the EU.....because it made them influential.

Greenland's fishing areas are controlled by the EU and they have no say, even though they left the EU to regain control of their fishing.



Being in the EU is like having "big mates" in the playground, if you're a weed and have "big mates" you can push other people around.

The best option if everything goes well and we get a good deal is going to be somewhat less than we have now. So there'll be a hit to the economy.

Why?

.

Because we already have the best possible deal with the EU - free access to the single market.
The negotiations are to see what subset of the deal we already have we'll get when we leave.

FFS you lot really are thick as pigtulip.

[squarepeg]

there will be no deal. EU is only concerned about politics and making the UK suffer.

All those things we used to import from Europe will be made over here.

Of course, you will lose your Portugese holiday home. sob.

Fountain pens too? ;-)

Looks like a big gamble to me.

I am sure it does..................to you!!

[Eirikur]

Why?


Of the 48%, plenty of those were reluctant remainers. '

GBP hasn't fallen off the cliff after the triggering of Article 50, like you were pretty adamant it would.

The other 52% were mostly misled and lied to leavers

GBP already took a massive battering the day after the referendum no one expected it to fall any further on brexit trigger day, it's likely to fall further though on a hard brexit

The average Brexiter is going to find out why 75% of MP's and the entire Civil Service wanted to stay in the EU.....because it made them personally wealthier by keeping their snouts in or around the trough.

Look SB, you're a nice bloke, if a bit dim, but the closest you come to the movers and shakers of this world out in the boonies where you are is saluting them from your sentry hut.
Those of us who live in the capital and do the moving and shaking know exactly what's going on, the facts of which you will only discern long after the event.
So do try to understand your place in the food chain, there's a good idiot.

Intellectually speaking, that pathetic little tirade was a bit like being savaged by a pet rabbit.

And I expect it took you quite a while to come up with it too.

Bless!!

The worst option, which is a real possibility, is no deal and WTO rules. So there'll be a massive hit to the economy.

That wont happen.

Of course it'll never happen.

Outrage as Spain and EU accused of using Brexit to take back Gibraltar, as MPs say Britain will 'not be bullied'
