At least get that “minor” fact correct in your rant.[COLOR="Silver"]

It’s not my fault you can’t read. It was said this would be the easiest trade deal ever (Liam Fox), all we have two years on is this contingency plan.

It would still up for negotiation
We would have to go to the ECJ to get out. Not ideal but there is a mechanism.

You have said a trade deal should give people what they wanted, and it may be possible to solve the underlying issues. It may not, and it’ll entirely be at the discretion of Brussels if it does.

it will be negotiated
We don’t need a second vote, it’s this deal or no deal. That has always been the situation from day one.

You don’t want a second vote, but thankfully that has no legislative authority in the United Kingdom or the European Union.
The hopes and dreams that the EU will hand us a great trade deal are gone. We are only going to get what the EU/ECJ permit.
We’re playing Russian roulette, they’ve loaded all the chambers, handed us the gun and told us it’s our turn.
Theresa May conceded on Ridge that if her deal gets voted down there’s a risk of delay or that Brexit might not happen.

I think this agreement is a good place to “start” negotiations not finish them.
It would be interesting to see if we went back to the EU, with some amendments that would definitely see the agreement passed, if they would change, with the alternative being no deal. Make some changes bat it back over to them see what they do.

I can tell you exactly what they’d do.
Nothing.
This is Britain’s problem. Giving up Northern Ireland there’s a genuine
blood on the streets event.
