I'm blaming them for it NOT happening.


So much time and effort has had to be put into deflecting the anti-democratic attacks, that could have much better been put into planning for a hard Brexit. If the EU saw that the UK was fully prepared in every way to have a hard Brexit, they might have been a bit more prepared to come to an acceptable agreement.

The official WTO response versus an "expert". It is the EU insisting on the backstop.


As I've said before, if the Remain side are prepared to accept a 2nd referendum result that also went against them, they they should accept the result of the 1st. They don't accept the 1st, so they would only accept the result a 2nd if it went their way.
