the delusion that we can cherry-pick the best bits of all the EU trade deals (Canada, Japan South Korea et al) and amalgamate them into a "spescal" deal, is simply fantasy fuelled claptrap
and the utter nonsense and frankly bizarre belief that we wont pay if we don't get a deal - omg this really is fantasy land stuff - as Phil Hammond has admitted, we will pay
do Brexidiots really believe all this b0ll0x, just how thick do you have to be to believe anything David Davis actually says
he said he had done 58 impact assessment "in excruciating detail" - then on the Marr show this morning he just bull****ted like a 5 year old caught ****ting on the toilet seat - but Brexidiots must buy it hook line and sinker - amazing
and how thick do you have to be to still believe BMW are going to ride to the rescue!!!! - it was all the rage on the original EU referendum thread !!!!!!!!
the recent statement has simply kicked the can down the road a bit - It has been worded so that each faction can see what the want to see, I suspect that the EU simply could not face an election/more turmoil from the UK if they played hardball at this stage,
in any case they pretty much got what they wanted tbh their patience must be wearing thin
what will be interesting is when they tell the UK that any transition period will be full acceptance of the "acquis communautaire" (payments & FOM etc) but with no MEP's no ECJ judges etc etc
essentially "pay but no say", how ironic
Brexit will be a very costly exercise in getting a ****tier deal than we already had
I suspect the calculation of the Brexiteers is that Brexidiots are too thick to actually notice, the reduction in immigration will simply be because the UK is a basket case

yes David Davis is talking nonsense, it will be at best Canada +

With current debacle unfolding as it is, it would be interesting to see what the result would be.

while i agree there was a lack of knowledge and alot of spin from both sides, it's irrelevant. the vote was made and a majority spoke. You can't change it just because you in the minority don't like the outcome.

It is perfectly reasonable on something this major to have confirmation at more than one stage.
Imagine if someone said to you " I can guarantee to lose you 25lbs in weight" and you signed up for that without asking how they would achieve it, and they said "I'm going to cut your leg off".
The ramifications for the UK are quite possibly very serious,don't you think that something which may prove very tough for us should not be given our approval? If the deal is **** and the population vote for it then so be it, but forcing them to accept a **** deal with no say is not the way forward, wouldn't you agree?

Well, I don't necessarily wish to start overturning majority votes as that is undemocratic. However, this is not like our parliamentary elections is it? It's not like we undo it in 5 years because we do not like it. I accept outcomes of elections, but I do not have to like it, nor keep quiet about it. Some people have moaned about being in the EU since 1973, why shouldn't I air my views?

If you think the EU is any way like the gestapo, then there really is no hope!
As for democracy, no country on Earth has democracy, so I'm not really sure why people get so hung about it.

to be fair they are all making it as complicated as poss to keep themselves in jobs, trade deals or no trade deals british companies will still deal with companies all over the world, the trade deals are only relavent if you are talking about oil gas arms etc, any one who thinks some little unelected brussels bellend should be able to overrule a british court needs thier head read, they have done next to **** all to help us as a country in fact they have given millions to former british companies to move over to europe, to name a few, ROOTS GROUP £80 MILLION, SMC £UN KNOWN FAFNER£UNKNOWN the list go's on and on

But it wasn't really a vote was it because no one knew what they were voting for? And it's stupid to argue that they did.

What if we have a change of heart and want to join up again?
We are certainly allowed to do that if we want. But we would have to start from scratch and apply all over again. Britain would be treated no differently to any other state wanting to become an EU member. It would be as if we were applying for the first time - there is no special procedure for rejoining and no special route back for previous members. Prime Minister David Cameron has said there would be no way back.
Or forget it and buy a new spade for May and Davis so that they can dig an even bigger hole for UK's future.

I knew what I was voting for. Its a flaccid argument by remainers. You make choices and live with them. There is no going back, either the UK gets a good deal or we're having WTO. The EU will not offer a better deal to rejoin than we had. The UK has a golden opportunity to get out there.

Have we left yet ?
i think the golden opportunity outlook can only be really be leveraged if you believe its EU v Rest of the world , and that EU is in imminent collapse

I don't understand this. What did you vote for, in regard to the main issues - Irish border, divorce bill, rights of EU citizens here and ours there, customs union, single market access, security? Is what you want for the country and yourself the same as what other leavers want? I'm sure all leavers have their own wish lists, but where is the consensus on what we are aiming for? What's the plan?
The referendum was an over-simplified choice, leave or remain. In Rumsfeld-speak, it was a choice between a known known, or a known unknown. Turns out there's a lot of unknown unknowns.
