I did not challenge the rest of your post quite deliberately. I simply disagree with your analysis and there's no point going over and over this. The only reason I responded to you was to highlight that your absolute certainty that Brexit was a bad idea and that we would fail did not take account of the advantages of leaving, and you finally admitted this. So you cannot be so sure, can you?
Honestly, if you think your responses on this subject are balanced, do your self a favour. Never think of doing a tightrope walk. Now, that would be a disaster!

Sorry, Carth, but those going around spreading alarm and despondency need to be challenged. |
I think you will find that nowhere did I admit not factoring unquantifiable upsides into any past analysis. Indeed, if you are that bored you want to rehash the Brexit debate you can use the search facility and just read it all over again.
I can hardly be accused of spreading alarm and despondency. As I have made very clear on a number of occasions on 2nd January 2022 we could repeal any EU rules introduced in 2021 (not that I’ve seen anyone name any) and use the additional time to put frameworks in place for trade negotiations, for the economy to recover from Coronavirus, create policies to support our agricultural and fisheries sectors. All reasonably proportionate steps for the economy, and Brexit, to succeed.
