    The EU has a +£90 billion per year trade advantage into the UK. The EU want the UK to pay £50-60 billion as a "divorce" settlement for leaving the EU.

    So should we pay them any money for a settlement for zero tarrifs to have access to trade with Europe? I think not!

    The "remoaners" are like those "Uncle tom" blacks that do not understand what true freedom means.

    Leave means leave, soft Brexit is no Brexit at all.. Either we leave the EU or we don't adn the people have made their decision to leave the EU.

    The only trouble is that the members of Parliment have been tasked to do a job that they don't want to do. This is why the referendum was a very unsatisfactory tool to leave the EU. What we actually needed was a political party that actually wanted to leave the EU and that party was clearly elected with a mandate to implement the leave vote.

    I think the cunning EU jobsworths will drag this out by cynically exploiting the requirement that all 27 member states must agree (I mean let's face it, what are the chances of that - especially when they've all decided not to?) to the terms until the whole idea becomes either too costly for us to pursue, or because of the total impracticability of meeting all of their terms and conditions. In other words the government will give in and the remoaners will have got their way. Then when the idea of leaving is finally dropped we'll be fiscally victimised for our impertinence in seeking to break away. In short, after my initial euphoria I'm now fully convinced we will never leave.

    Yes I now see the current argument that the Brexit vote "Did not mean that we voted to be "impoverished", the Remoaners use this as an argument to stay within the single market, rather than having access to the single market which every Country around the World already has.

    This argument was already lost during the BREXIT debate, but they continue to argue the same point to try and keep us in the EU.

    If only you weren't so ignorant (!) you'd know that the member states which constitute this bloody single market will soon be bankrupt when the Euro crashes and burns - and it will, because despite their desperation to keep it viable they can't keep a failed currency on life support for ever - and none of them will be able to afford to buy what we have to sell.
