Populism is the name that the liberal - left and The Establishment give to democracy when they don't get the results they want

Would that be your way to close trade deals with other countries: give us a profitable deal or get a bloody nose.

Re: Cold Hard Facts Regarding Brexit.

Hi

We do not have a good hand to play.

I have no regard for Boris and others who sit on the sidelines and moan yet who are not prepared to take over and deliver on their promises.

Of course not Solasch, that would be as as bad as if the EU said to the UK, "It doesn't matter what you ask for, the answer will always be NO! you are going to be punished for leaving, starting with a £40billion bill for absolutely nothing. More S..t to come your way soon"

Oh, wait a minute...............

Re: Cold Hard Facts Regarding Brexit.

I think events will quickly unfold within the next 48 hours. We cannot carry on like this. We certainly can't continue to give in to blackmail and extortion by the EU and we cannot just let Theresa May walk us into the trap that she has obviously planned ahead with the Commission with the help of her puppet, Ollie Robbins.
Is it any wonder Raab is furious at all the double-dealing that has been going on behind his back and being deliberately kept out of the picture with negotiations.

Once a Remainer, always a Remainer. The woman must go.

Re: Cold Hard Facts Regarding Brexit.

It was never going to be easy to extricate ourselves from an organisation that had no interest in assisting our departure from the protectionist club that is the EU .

It was made impossible when the man some call 'Rasputin' Oliver Robbins tore up the white paper David Davis had spent 2 years compiling and introduced his own plan during the Chequers weekend.

I don't think my 5 grandchildren would agree with you.
They are my proud future and I want the best for them and that doesn't include living under the dictatorship of the EU.

Solasch I guess it is natural for someone living in the Netherlands to be upset by the thought of the UK leaving the EU and maybe derailing the gravy train.
Some of us here are made of strong stuff unlike those Europeans who fear change and are worried our departure will mean a little discomfort to their lifestyle .

I am sure there are many like me in the UK who can cope with a bit of inconvenience and hardship until we get back on our feet and regain control over our own future.
