No deal is Britain destroyed as a global financial powerhouse for generations. At least it'll clear out the migrant workers tbf, they'll follow the money which will make the little Englanders happy until they're wondering why they've got a handful of trainee nurses taking of their loved ones.
Only problem being that our growth will reverse and a lot of small, medium and large businesses will collapse as demand and skilled workforce evaporates and hastle free trade is replaced with massive red tape and regulation and long winded negotiations with countries that know we are super vulnerable and will take any deal.
Christ, a massive reason why we have such a huge GDP for such a physically small country is because we've placed ourselves as the key financial cog to the EU. They'll eventually transfer clearing and most other major financial activities back to the EU and the economic financiers will follow.
The weirdest part to me is how the working class brexiteers think that the government will actually look after them when we no deal. They'll protect the city as much as they can first and cut funding to non metropolitan areas swiftly.
Most people really don't realise just how deeply the EU benefits them and their community / city / country.
Even the simpletons complaining about the EU army can't explain why they want to give up a veto that keeps the EU army at bay if we want.
Ffs, we leave, one less veto for an EU army, especially now that trump has gone full Russian and wants to pull troops / american influence globally because hed rather redirect military funds to his own boarders.
A few less staging / resupply areas in Europe for America, less danger for Putin when he wants to make crimea like moves, apparently everybody wins.
Well Zedie you can at least agree with me on this then, we're doing better questions and answers than either side did during the Referendum.
I'll tell you why, both sides fought a battle of Right wing vs Left wing ......... big mistake.
You'll never win over a "I hate those effin foreigners" not with common sense, not with logic, nothing. the Remain spent the whole fkin campaign scaremongering without facts and or just shouting racist at the Right.
Again and I've repeated this many times, the battle is won not on the Left and Right (because they're not budging) its won in the middle, people like me who'll listen to "facts" not scaremongering or the war between Left and Right but actual facts, the middle are the people that "listen" then make up their minds.
And I can tell you this, I didn't vote because even though I liked the idea of a strong independent Britain where we make our laws here, my first priority as are most Centre ground voters is ....... "How does this effect me and the economy of this country".
The fact that we're discussing these options now shows the failure of how it was explained, the fact that I didn't even vote shows it even more.
Its just a fkin mess now and fk em, they can deal with it, nothing we can do unless the public are given a final vote.
But one thing I'll say for certain is that Theresa May has betrayed this country in fact I'll say the Conservative party as a whole has betrayed this country.
Why ........ because if your going to give us a Soft Brexit slave deal why the fk did you give the people a vote in the first place?? we're practically in the EU but have lost all our membership rights.
This is why I'm saying that if its going to be Brexit it needed to be a clean break like what Mogg and those Con's are saying they want, that's Brexit and if they fail then its on their head.
What the Con remainers are trying to do now is give us a worse deal than what we had so what was the point of the vote?
