I voted to remain and still think it's the best thing to do, but at the moment it's impossible to do that. Secondly, we don't know what will happen. Brexit, might not be as bad, as I thought. |

Self harming because something might happen in the future is a silly analogy for Brexiting and damaging our economy because the EU might not exist in the future? Hmm. From the current events being reported in the news and having watched the past 4 years of this I'd have to agree that it's probably not going to be as bad as I thought, it's probably going to be worse. |

I too agree that BREXIT won't be as bad as people think (also voted remain), but that's probably an avergage thing. In the event of a no-deal final exit, there will be extreme cases of businesses and some industries decimated by WTO terms (immediate example is lamb exports being subject to 47% tariff). The EU commision be will be desperate to make sure BREXIT is seen as painful as possible to depower other ??EXIT movements in the EU. So my guess is that this drama will go on for years and years. According to this report the UK has a trade deficit with the EU of some £79 billion, and if you strip out finincial services it's £97 billion. So there is substantial risk to the EU as well, although that is spread across the EU, some members (Germany and France) could certainly see a sizable impact. https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/cbp-7851/ |

Dear God, Let it rain brain on the Bureaucrats and their loyal cattle. |
