Hard Brexit it is then, 2 years on the dot we just shrug and go WTO tariff.
It's not CMD at the helm now, just go in with that hard brexit front and centre and see what happens, whatever we do, don't show a whiff of fear to them.
They have much more on their plate than we do, with failing economies, migrants coming out of their backsides etc etc, they need us very much more than we need them, and they know it and hopefully they'll know that we know they know it.
Bring it on.

No, at the end of 2yrs everything finishes and it's hard Brexit unless not only the other 27 but the UK as well agree to continue negotiations.
The only way I can see around it is for all EEA trading rules to stay in place pending trade negotiations being concluded. Will the EU agree? I think not because free movement is inextricably linked to it.
WTO rules will then apply. Not good for either party so gives impetus to a deal of some sort to be brokered within 2yrs even if it is only an interim one.
