The UK is frecked and it is obvious that this small irrational knee jerk island will go down in flames despite the ferverous efforts of the EU to save it. Now. If there was a leadership with vision in the Greek helm, a country ten times smarter than the UK as even recent history shows, then Greece would wait until their indeed was a brexit agreement. Then, it would publicly state that it would unilateraliy veto the agreement upon consition that the parhenon marble be returned. The whole of Europe would cheer such a demand as valiant and just and it would be a strong kick on the teeth of the british colonial thieves and scoundrels. And then we can be friends, no problem.

They are supposedly looking at 1.9% to 4.9% less GDP in 10 years if they do nothing. I suspect they will actually do a few things which can change those decade from now numbers. It will still be a hit but compared to the cost of say the 2008 financial crisis about 1/4th-1/5th the impact. Again. This is assuming they do nothing else for a whole decade such as secure other new trade agreements or change regulations or tax rates in order to spur increased economic growth.
One thing people did get right is that a large percentage of the impact will fall on the financial industry as the EU is extremely protectionist but the companies themselves have ways to get around it and their HQs will remain in London so the companies themselves won't really be hurt badly and the only thing that will change is where their employees work. For the EU's part it will all face higher costs for every financial service transaction so that will be a drag for it.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.Comment

With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

In order to ensure that, in case of a no deal Brexit, the supply of the british isle across the channel with food and other necessary freight is secured,
the department of transport of the british government has given a 14 mio GBP contract to a freight company that has no ships and never has transported any freight ...
a freight company that intend to operate its service from a british port, that most likely doesn't have the necessary facilities to handle freight movement of the dimensions that are planned

Apparently, this thread is pointless to non-UK residents because the UK really does not matter much anymore.“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To 'see through' all things is the same as not to see.”

The Brexit Ferry company with no boats apparently has some great Ts and Cs. They had copied and pasted them from a template of a pizza delivery service.....

Theresa May is doing well. I think she is now a record holder for votes lost with a record that will never be matched. Thatcher and Blair got four respectively in a decade, May is approaching 30....One day Canada will rule the world, and then we'll all be sorry.Comment

She has made survival a high art. Its either that or the job is so bad right now that no one else really wants it.“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles.
