But what do EU officials know.
What the final Brexit agreement looks like?
But what do EU officials know.
That is an excellent article - thanks for posting.Also some signs of introspection at the BBC : https://www.theneweuropean.co.uk/top-stories/gavin-esler-changed-my-mind-on-brexit-1-5644402
Apparently HM Treasury has been busy switching the UK's currency reserves into Euros, in anticipation of us crashing out with no deal and the GBP sinking even further.
Meanwhile, UK supermarket chiefs are predicting shortages, a 12% rise in food prices and civil unrest if we leave without a deal.
I'm finding food prices and pretty much everything else went up by more than 10% as soon as the referendum result was announced.Ah that's all part of the Brexit dividend, solve the obesity crisis by making it more expensive to eat. Unfortunately, it will likely be good food up by more than 12% with crap food staying much the same. Those shares in Greggs are safe.
That nice Mr. Mogg says about sometime in the next 50 years- an he’s a money expert.I'm finding food prices and pretty much everything else went up by more than 10% as soon as the referendum result was announced.
It would be nice if some Brexit Enabler could advise me as to when I can expect to get my money back and recoup my losses.
Thanks, in expectation...

"Remain was rightly ridiculed for inept scaremongering. Voters lacked positive reasons to understand why a trading bloc of two dozen rich nations is a good idea. Instead we got ‘Project Fear’."
Indeed. The BBC, in neglecting to see this and act on it, has arguably failed in its duty to the nation.Esler's notion that balanced reporting impinges when politicians continuously lie and spread hate is very relevant. I mean how many times do we have to see Nigel Farage or Sarah Huckabee Sanders say Trump it telling the truth, when it is so obvious they are all in it together.
As Esler points out: "We don’t ‘balance’ arguments on child protection by hearing advocates for paedophilia, nor do we confront anti-slavery campaigners with racists arguing that other people can be personal property."
This is an excellent article by Gavin Esler on Brexit and why he has moved from an acceptance of the Referendum result to fighting against it.
Esler's notion that balanced reporting impinges when politicians continuously lie and spread hate is very relevant.
The Observer says that more than 100 seats which backed Brexit now want to Remain in the EU. These include Gove and Johnson's. https://www.theguardian.com/politic...witch-to-remain?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Facebook
"More than 100 Westminster constituencies that voted to leave the EU have now switched their support to Remain, according to a stark new analysis seen by the Observer.
"In findings that could have a significant impact on the parliamentary battle of Brexit later this year, the study concludes that most seats in Britain now contain a majority of voters who want to stay in the EU.
"The analysis, one of the most comprehensive assessments of Brexit sentiment since the referendum, suggests the shift has been driven by doubts among Labour voters who backed Leave.
"As a result, the trend is starkest in the north of England and Wales – Labour heartlands in which Brexit sentiment appears to be changing. The development will heap further pressure on Jeremy Corbyn to soften the party’s opposition to reconsidering Britain’s EU departure."
Corbyn needs to change his stance asap. If he doesn't, a lot of people won't vote for Labour.
Ah, just noticed a link to this article has already been put up. I'll leave this here though because I've added quotes from the piece.

Nothing related but an amusing bit re Mogg, I recently saw him described as "what a stupid person thinks a clever person is like"
