Re: Brexit
All of us are now finding out what the EU is really like.
It is a spider's web from which it is extremely difficult to escape.
This is a deal we should reject. The EU still has to sell its goods but if not to us to whom will they sell them? No deal is just as bad for them as it is for us. Maybe a rejection of the deal will increase their willingness to renegotiate.
Instead of going for a deal with the whole EU, we should have gone for a deal that protects our banking rights and which protects our trading rights with EU countries currently trading with us now. This protects our current trade and frees us from the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice. Other individual EU countries wanting to trade could set up their own deals in the future.
The backstop only really affects Ireland and the UK and should be left to them to sort out without EU interference. Goods can be flown in to Northern Ireland and Ireland without the need for a hard border. Technology can take care of the rest.
Given that the EU is planning to form a European Army and the recent aggressive Russian moves, will our young people who voted to stay in the EU still be as keen if they receive call-up papers from the EU?
It will be very interesting to see how this all pans out.
