It is typical of the bleeding heart liberals to confuse issues like this and interfere with the affairs of other countries.

You need to remember that it wasn't long ago when our prisoners were making mailbags, and before that were sentenced to hard labour for many offences. We may have moved on, but other countries still need to progress, as they will with time. We do not make the laws in other countries and we need to climb down from our high horses.

That the economy would suffer (it has not), that the EU negotiations would not get beyond phase 1 (which they did), that we would never get a withdrawal agreement past Brussels (which we did), that Boris would never get rid of the backstop (which he did within three months...).

I'm not sure which of your predictions on this subject you think have come to pass. Yes, the pound has dropped in value, but that will recover when there is certainty in the minds of investors.

Your views are influenced a lot by economic forecasts, but you don't seem to accept that time and time again, these have been proved wrong, based as they are on negatives, without proper consideration of the positives.
To be fair, any real impact, one way or another, of Brexit won't happen just yet. The only aspect of EU negotiations that has started is the non-binding Political Declaration. The EU is now kicking up a fuss over the "level playing field" being removed. The backstop is still there, just in a modified form.
