Will still be a European country even if we leave the EU.

No need to beg.. They will come us. A deal after Brexit is imminent. Europe without uk is a sick man in oxygen.

I suppose it will take 10 years.

By that time many of the older voters who voted leave will have passed on.
They grew up in that period where watching war films, 'Where Eagles Dare', how enjoyable to watch a small group of brave soldiers go in blow the place up and kill bout 20 Germans each.

Not just here either, nationalism is on the rise everywhere.

but the young are a coming and sadly the old will pass on.
Sanity will be restored.

But what's the EU's reaction?

"EU chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier has called Boris Johnson's first speech to MPs "rather combative".

He also said eliminating the Northern Ireland backstop, as the new UK PM proposed, would be "unacceptable"."

Head in sand. Of course, that doesn't mean that they won't talk about a resolution that would avoid the 'backstop', after all they are career politicians, and it is after lunch..

ECB seriously concerned about the direction of the EU economy, and fast running out of options. That's not good news, but it would do Draghi credit if he didn't blame Brexit for some of the woes.

I mean, really, are we they key to the resolution? Well then, the answer's pretty straightforward isn't it? Do a deal with us! Don't try to shaft us!

The groundwork's already been done over the decades, so get your skates on and stop the nonsense.

If you know your history, then you know that way back, our Prime Minister Harold McMillan pleaded with De.Gaulle the French President to let us join the common market.

He was turned down because De Gaulle felt that the UK was Americas poodle, and could never be European enough.
Apparently our PM was in tears.

I do hope we do not have to go begging to be allowed to rejoin at some point in the future.

Meanwhile we have become the 5th richest country in the World, some would argue on the back of EU. membership.

No, nobody could argue that. The EU has held us back.

Once we are free we can have the world's greatest bonfire of red tape and turn ourselves into a tiger economy.

Globalisation continues regardless of the cave dwellers on both sides of the North Atlantic.

People forget that Brexit has not happened yet.
Just talk, talk and more talk.

ps Good to see reported on CNBC that the EU. have just secured yet another huge trade deal with South American Countries including Brazil.

The benefits of size. Hope we do no miss out too much post Brexit.

All of a sudden they have a mandate of a no deal Brexit.
Where did that come from?
The simple in/out question on the referendum was after a shambolic campaign in which the brexit crowd promised a great deal.

When will this lot get resolved, 40 years of boredom and argument about our membership, and the arguments go on.
Meanwhile we have become the 5th richest country in the World, some would argue on the back of EU. membership.

Our GDP per capita was lagging badly at the time we joined the then common market.
Do some research and check these facts. We used to be the sick man of Europe.

This lot will only get resolved when and if there is a turndown in our economy as a direct result of Brexit.
That may take while.
Only when people and their families are personally suffering will they start talking sense.

LEAVE and WTO

Boris Johnson has a mandate for no-deal and it's no use Remoaners pretending otherwise

Barnier also has a memory lapse. The WA was not agreed by parliament, so it is dead. As in dodo or Norwegian Blue.



The mandates for both leaving the EU and, if necessary, without a deal are clear.



Pity the French did not fight this hard in 1940. Would have saved a lot of trouble.
