Theresa May: We Risk Ending Up With No Brexit At All

[naomi24]

//The prime minister has issued a stark warning to MPs that failure to back her plan for Brexit would risk the UK not leaving the EU at all.//

A stark warning? One could be forgiven for thinking she’s worried about flouting the democratic will of the people. Nigel Farage, speaking on ‘The Wright Stuff’ a couple of days ago, said that delaying tactics could be employed until the eleventh hour when Article 50 would be suspended. Is the real end plan coming to fruition? I think so.

It’s not really much good saying ‘this isn’t brexit’. We haven’t done this before so no one knew what it would be. Therefore, by default of no previous examples......this is indeed Brexit.

Did you mean ‘this isn’t what we THOUGHT Brexit would be?

[Zacs-Master]

Togo, I’m talking about the immediate tariffs on our exports, not our imports.

[naomi24]

Danny, //Even if May gets the backing she wants, the EU are still likely to refuse her plan.//

Indeed, and the response to that, so we were told, would be a hard Brexit…. but suddenly Brexit seems to be sliding off the agenda completely.

Zacs, your Remainer Newspeak doesn't wash. Leave meant leave.

[Zacs-Master]

No. You thought leave meant leave. It’s not ‘newspeak’ it’s just patently ‘fact’. If it weren’t you wouldn’t have posted this very post.

If not careful," We are going to get our fingers caught ,and Squashed in the E/U Mangle"............ Ouch!

[dannyk13]

ZM, to all those who voted to leave the EU, leave meant exactly that leave

[naomi24]

Zacs, nonsense. The electorate has been well and truly stitched up. That’s why I posted this post.

Zac, I fully understand that tariffs will make goods more expensive in the short term. But if EU goods become to uncompetitive fewer will buy them and/or their prices will either go down, we will find other suppliers or perhaps start producing ourselves. Or as is more likely a descent trade deal will be sought by both sides.

Your fear of short term price rises is worse for the country than thinking no Brexit is the status quo. Staying in the EU will be far worse for the country.

[Zacs-Master]

‘Leave means leave’ is a very woolly phrase. We all knew there would be terms. We all knew the EU would have to agree to such terms. We all knew we were expecting a majoritarianly Pro EU Govt to deliver this in a swimmingly smooth way was naive in the extreme.

[Zacs-Master]

Cassa, as I said above, I’m talking about the prejoratively high tariffs which would be immediately placed on our EXPORTS crippling some sectors of business (agriculture in the main).

[naomi24]

Zacs, Leave meant Leave. The word doesn’t carry a variety of interpretations so not woolly at all. Still, not to worry, Once you, gulliver, vengaroberta (who’s so concerned about the future of British industry) and the rest of the Remainers have managed to put Jeremy at the helm, you’ll have no industry or business to speak of to worry about. Happy days.

[Zacs-Master]

‘The word doesn’t carry a variety of interpretations‘

It clearly does, or you wouldn’t have had a question to ask. Blaiming remain voters for this situation is ludicrous. We’re only in this situation because naive leave voters expected a split government to flawlessly implement the decision.

[Gromit]

I wish people would stop saying that this is not Brexit and that we will not Leave.
Article 50 has been enacted, and we Leave the EU on 31st March 2019.
Why do you keep pretending that we won’t ?

Another smear May campaign. What the Brextremists don't (or more likely won't) accept is that she fulfilled the referendum result when she signed Article 50. She is now trying to get the best exit for this country but is being continually thwarted by the Brextremists, who are vociferously supported by a few traitors in her party who are only taking that view to support their own advancement. Her Government may not be "Strong and Stable", but she certainly is (unlike for example Camoron who pledged to continue as PM whatever the referendum result, then got cold feet).

Corbyn has always been anti EU.
