OT It could be even worse then you thought possible
The Telegraph has dire warnings of how the Brexit balls up may pan out:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016...n-like-greece/ Briefly: There is the potential across Europe for right wing and nationalist parties to demand their own referendums. The EU must make sure that Britain is out quickly and that it is ugly and painful for the UK, as painful as they can possibly make it, to make it quite clear to all the other member states that Exit is not an option to be taken lightly. So brace yourselves for hard times, social disorder, economic collapse, political chaos, hunger, rioting, a broken UK. It's what you voted for. TW |

I just pointed out that as with any negotiation, you don't have to accept the terms first offered. I was then pointed at the above link, the content of which doesn't help us much, but which points us further on (I mentioned that in another post). So we're all waiting for Michael to provide us with a link to that. As long as someone does as how else can we start to guess at what will happen if / when we trigger article 50. ;-) Cheers, T i m |

We don't have a seat at the table and the terms set are to ensure the EU doesn't suffer too much. I don't know, Den, I'm not a negotiator. Are you expecting that at the Press Conf as they arrive at Brussels Airport, the Chief Bod is going to say something like: "Our sig will be on their set of terms in about 30 mins then we can all go to lunch!". That how it's going to go, Den? Nobody knows! |

TW I'll note your fear mongering and we'll see what happens this time next year. PS Merkel is not selling that line. Merkel has just said she hopes the UK will re-join the EU in the future. So wants terms which would encourage that. Something only a bit worse than now, but bad enough to make it sensible to re-join. In her dreams! It has taken 43 years to get out. She'll be dead in another 43 years! |

So not only do you claim to speak for the entire UK, but the people of Europe too. Have you even thought how ridiculous that is? I keep thinking how ridiculous you are, maundering on ad nauseam. It's normal for a losing, remain socialist! |

"TimW" wrote in message ... The Telegraph has dire warnings of how the Brexit balls up may pan out: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016...n-like-greece/ It isn't possible for the EU to treat Britain like Greece, because Britain isn't asking the EU for billions to bail it out of the mess that it has got itself into economically. Briefly: There is the potential across Europe for right wing and nationalist parties to demand their own referendums. Yes. The EU must make sure that Britain is out quickly There is no way for the EU to do that. If Britain chooses to invoke Article 50, it gets to decide for itself when to do that and then the EU is stuck with the 2 year time that that provides for. The only way that the EU could get Britain to leave very quickly is to make it clear that if it invoked Article 50 it would agree to the most important things that Britain wanted like no longer the free movement of EU citizens into Britain and no more money from Britain to the EU and there is no way the EU would ever agree to that because that would see quite a few of the other net contributors to the EU also leaving the EU to get the same result. and that it is ugly and painful for the UK, as painful as they can possibly make it, to make it quite clear to all the other member states that Exit is not an option to be taken lightly. The EU has no capacity to do that. The most it can ever do is refuse to agree to anything Britain wants and even that can't be done quickly given the 2 year provision in Article 50. And Britain is free to make an obscene gesture in the general direction of the EU and trade under the WTO rules, just like all of the US, China, India, Taiwan, Canada, Australia etc all do right now. So brace yourselves for hard times, social disorder, economic collapse, political chaos, hunger, rioting, a broken UK. Fantasy. The EU has no capacity to do anything like that to Britain. It's what you voted for. They voted for something else entirely, and will get that, you watch. And likely will see the EU do what you listed too. |
