A no-deal brexit would destroy British business

When did the CBI ever get anything right?
? ?
They wanted us to join the euro.

Remain voters are hopeful of a delay - an extension of the transition phase.

It’s not going happen. Sorry Nicola Sturgeon (Remainer).

Let’s just get this done.

Amen to that!

The uk have officially confirmed to the eu that there will be no extension to the trasition period ????

If it weren't for the fact that I and my friends and family will be dragged willynilly into this complete catastrophe I'd be quite happy to order the popcorn and sit back and watch all your dreams not happening.

Kapitan. Excellent,incisive,well -informed,balanced,mature,original,cogently- argued,meaningful post.....not.

Brexit beleavers will take any damage to the country to save their face. They don’t care about anyone other than themselves- so it damages everyone- who cares? Blue passports are so much more important

Lobotomy springs to mind.

I can’t think of any other reason, that or they are all going to make shed loads of money on shorting.

There is absolutely no other reason to want this next crises.

It’s not about ‘saving face’. It’s the culmination of expectation after many different votes which have proved that Brexit IS what the majority of the people who bothered to vote, want.

It’s time to deliver it now.
Thank you.

Why

Nope. Not again. I’m sick of explaining my reasons ad nauseum. Perhaps check the back catalogues on the topic?

Good try though!

Comment from Bloomberg

Why extension?
@bloomberg
"Now Britain faces among the heaviest financial tolls from the pandemic of any major economy, and the deepest recession in 300 years. In the background is the specter of compounding the pain by failing to reach a trade deal with the European Union".

The New European

“Ministers have failed to recruit enough customs agents, failed to put in place the necessary infrastructure and now their plans are in utter disarray."

As I mentioned previously,

When faced with a much more powerful negotiator it shows intelligence to have your ducks in order first.

Absolutely no chance with this rabble.

Annoying to some to think (a) it’s gonna happen and (b) things will be fine.

ditto Urmstongran

Well if you think things will be fine is as best as you can get - I think things were supposed to be so much better? Obviously don’t care about anyone else and the harm it will do to business, agriculture, jobs etc. Who cares it’s what a minority want and the rich elite are encouraging it. Great.

Once the full implication is apparent on what brexiters voted for it will ruin this country for a generation and they will never be forgiven.

It will be fine because the coronovirus must have some impact. But then, so many other countries are struggling with new rules and high debt, inevitable consequences, that it’s more of a level playing field in some regards. Then things will surge forward in the U.K. and we will do so much better. This, I truly believe.

Not saying so just to annoy!

The virus has impacted NOW.

Our economy had dropped by 10% from January to March as the Brexit effect began to take hold.

In April it dropped far more than the economists were forecasting

A whopping 20.4%.

We still have May to go.

That is why the rabble of a government are so keen to risk lives and restart the economy because they know that come January when we are in for another massive hit, and they are trying to mitigate its effect.

Of course they think that they will be able to blame covid but anyone with more than two brain cells will look at other countries and compare. Just as we can with the way the virus is being dealt with now.

On what do you base your belief Urmstongran?

Then things will surge forward in the U.K. and we will do so much better.

Perhaps you could give us some detail on how this 'surge' will be effected, Ug?

This, I truly believe.

This is Peter Pan level stuff. Brexit will be wonderful if every one believes in it in the face of all the evidence stacking up to the contrary.

Luxembourg now issuing threats demanding the same fishing rights as before!! Have other countries been similarly threatened when negotiating a trade deal with the EU?,! Japan for example,Canada?!! A deal over fishing is perfectly possible, but not going to be achieved by bullying and threats! 40 years of ruling the roost has led to an attitude of entitlement by these arrogant thugs over just about everything and it's high time, like spoilt children,that they were said no to!

I too am convinced that as a nation we will be much better off without the arrogant self serving institution the EU has turned into. A rich boys club!

Jabberwok you may not have noticed but we now have the arrogant self serving institution that the British government has turned into. A rich boys club indeed!

And it seems we are now going to take back control of our borders by not controlling our borders because it will be too damaging!!!
