Surely you recognise that the feared adverse consequences (EU putting an extreme interpretation on the WA) would be bad for the UK. Do you?

I'll await your response, which I hope will be direct to the questio, before commenting further.

Of course I recognise that it'd be bad for the UK. I recognised that leaving the EU in any capacity would be bad for the UK, but we wanted that sovreignty, right?

You can't tell remainers who were screaming until they were blue in the face that "this is a terrible idea and the UK will suffer for it" to get over it, then do a shocked pikachu face when it turns out that this whole thing is bad for the UK.

You were warned that this would happen. Much like Boris was warned that this would happen.



The only difference is that I'm not blaming the EU for this, I'm blaming the government that made the agreement. This agreement that Boris tried to ram through the last parliament, that he wouldnt let people scruitinise in any meaningful way. Remember that mess? We had a whole election over it.

Maybe if there was more scruitny of the WA, more people could have been warned, but that wasn't on the agenda, that wasn't allowed, we just wanted to "Get Brexit done", without any oversight, without any regard for the consequences and now the consequences are ramping up.

You have to respect the vote, though, accept it, remember? The EU didn't cause this, the government and by extension we - ourselves - we did this.

Tossing it back and saying "this isn't good enough, either give us an alternative or we walk away". Remember, no deal is better than a bad deal, right?

2 things:

1) Is this an official doctrine/warning as a moderator on this forum, or just your opinion as a brexiteer?

2) I'm not telling anyone to be quiet.

This was highlighted way back in January, before anything was signed. Shouldn't have signed it if it had such a legal flaw in it.
