Re: Brexit

Some of you can and do argue the toss and its square root about manifestos, trying to make excuses for not honouring the Referendum result.

The same people also use the argument that it's such a mess now that we can't leave on 29-March.

The same people also come out with stuff like 'nobody voted for this mess'. Very true. But 52% did vote to leave the EU and Leave means Leave; no question of that.

A No Deal exit does have its problems - but they will be overcome as things settle down in a reasonably short time.

May's deal is a bad deal, but if it gets us out, then it's not the worst option provided that the Political Statement isn't taken seriously by the UK. The EU (see the Political Statement) want to shackle our competitiveness

A 21 month extension is the worst of the lot. They will want all the dosh that would have been our Brexit Dividend of No Deal and probably then some other demands. Unless something changes in Parliament, we'll get nowhere with negotiations. A long extension will almost certainly cause a 2nd Referendum to occur because of the entirely new circumstances.

Will there be a General Election? Can't rule that out and that will get very interesting as Tory vs Labour could well morph into Leave vs Remain.
