Well, there are very strong links with the Irish and the USA. This could work out well in a future trade deal for students, jobs, investment etc.

It's never all "doom & gloom" - not even when you take a dump in your own backyard, as the UK did with Brexit.

The worst thing that is going to happen? Probably the economic hardship that will be caused by spaffing all of the economic benefits of EU membership up the wall - pardon the Johnsonian turn-of-phrase in that sentence.

Brexiteers will continue to deny this - I have no intention whatsoever of wasting time re-hashing arguments which have bounced back-and-forth on these forums and elsewhere ad infinitum. But that is my answer. The political reasons for leaving the EU - well, a bit of them - I get; the economic stuff you would need the brain of a duck to agree with. And that is an insult to ducks.

Incidentally, Boris Johnson is not and never was a convinced and sincere Brexiteer - unlike, for instance, Bill Cash and the rest of them. Reporters traipsed around following the hapless Honey Monster for weeks before he finally took the plunge, and the reason he did that was to promote his chances of becoming Tory Party leader:

He's an Old Etonian, remember - he just wants to be captain of the school cricket-team. He could equally have swung the other way, and would easily have done so to gain power. A total opportunist.

Can I borrow your crystal ball please, Fogey?

Just read the papers (but avoid the DE) to see: no deal with EU, no deal with usa, no deal with australia, no deal with japan and on and on.

Neither has the EU

Indeed, the EU has no deal with the EU, but it has with japan, something you are trying. Boris said ge wants the same deal as australia has with the EU. So who is lying, you or boris?

It has no deal that's ratified with Japan, no deal with Australia and no deal with the USA.

Don't you look silly

With japan it has, but you already lost that discussion with 7773911.

So boris is lying in saying he wants the same deal? Which is non existent according to you.

No I didn't - Japan isn't ratified.

The deal we have offered is based on the Canada one you already have (although that's not ratified either).
