Hi
I fail to understand why some simply do not get it.
The Euro is fine, it is the £ that has suffered.
If we just walk away, we lose far more than the EU, 4 times as much in % terms and that is simply on trade with the EU.
We also lose access to all the trade agreements we have been in as part of the EU.
Even the most hardened Brexiteers in the Government are now seeking a transition period.
This is simply because they know they cannot deliver on their promises.
The no deal is better than a bad deal strategy is out of the window now.
I find the entire thing very sad and totally avoidable.
If we had got started straight away, as soon as we had a new PM after Cameron had cut and run and then delayed the Article 50 Letter by six months, then yes, the EU would have known we could have just walked away and the pressure would have been on them.
They know we cannot deliver, so now the pressure is on us.
