It is the most costly and damaging of all options.
Quite simply because it's what I voted for.

And 17.4 million others did likewise, including you.

It's a step by step process.

It begins with demonstrating to the world that we are out of the eu. Once that irrevocable line is crossed all the subsequent steps can be made. Trade deals, etc etc.

Without the initial step to cross that line, no-one, no-one at all, takes brexit seriously and people will just continue to faff about as they have for the past 2 years.

We are well past other options at this point.

The divorce needs to be forced through. The bitch will only go by dragging and screaming so that's what must be done.

Hi

You presume too much.

The vote was simply to leave the EU, not to leave with No Deal.

Re: Brexit - Can you ever please both sides?

Why are all the Jeremiah's forecasting that if we leave the Sky will fall in, and massive redundancies and austerity?.

These things have always gone on and Company's gone bankrupt.

Was the Miners Strike anything to do with saying goodbye to the EU?

If during WWII, Churchill and the Country thought like that we would now all be wearing Jack Boots, and shouting
'Zeig Heil' and eating German Sausage.

It is like being in a bad marriage with a dominating spouse.
Who would want to be permanently unhappy?
Best call it a day and leave.

Looks like Hilary Benn has withdrawn his amendment to prevent the UK leaving with no deal.

There's hope yet ....

Please don't include us all in that, many of us have been campaigning for years to get us out. Cameron went to them for relatively small changes came back with nothing. We had no influence and haven't had for years just like all the other countries in the EU, the EU is a monster all it's own creation now. Working for their own ends no thought to how policies affect any of the constituent countries.
