Brexit, Hard Or Soft?

[Minkyme]

Do you personally want a hard brexit? A soft brexit? Or is there a middle ground brexit I like to call the //goldilocks brexit// which would be the nice creamy middle drawing pros from hard and soft with hardly any of the cons?

I just want it to be over !

Unfortunately the crow of the commons is going to wreak mayhem and destruction before we anglegrind her out of Downing Street.

Hard. The harder the better. A strong dose of political Viagra would not come amiss.

I agree with hereIam. I voted out for 3 reasons:
1. The EU interferes too much with daily life:
a. I can't buy wood preservative (namely, creosote) that actually preserves wood.
b. I can't buy sodium chlorate, which I regard as a good weed killer.
c. I can't buy incandescent light bulbs any more.
2. The EU wants to have its own army, as if it were a sovereign state.
3. The EU wants to have its own anthem, as if it were a sovereign state.
I voted No in the 1970's, and nothing that has happened since has made me change my mind. All I want now is a sharp knife to cut the rope that binds us to the EU.

// I can't buy sodium chlorate, which I regard as a good weed killer. //

mix it with sugar and it makes a good bang-bang

bang bang chicken ? no the other bang bang.

Anyone remember Colin Jordan ? British Nazi in the early sixties.
his home was raided and they found said NaClO4 with sugar and he had relabelled Weed Killer - "Jaw Killer".

disgusting - caused public outrage.

why did I post this - well it is odd what a 10 y old remembers and also that chlorate may have been banned not because the Eurocrats are humourless interfering party poopers but on safety grounds

The EU has its good points, and I do believe we need a good relationship with Western Europe, but we (and other members) allowed it to grow into the monster it is today. So, although I voted Remain, I won't grieve too much when we Leave.

We can then develop a trading relationship with them to stave off the undoubtedly approaching venomous trade wars attacks by China, and the Russo-US alliance.

Hard and out.

That way we and the EU will see how useful a proper adult trade deal should be like..

Spath my remark wasn't anything to do with your comment at 17.01

Hard, very hard. The EU has become an undemocratic monster with only one aim, which is to eliminate nations and subsume them into a United States of Europe. Anyone doubting this only needs to look at the map they had as the project end (easily available at the time and there was a copy in Parliament - it converted a lot of 'don't knows' I knew). Kent would be part of the Trans-Manche area with the regional capital at Calais. My area of coastal East Riding of Yorkshire was to be part of the North-Sea Region with Denmark.

Friendly relations yes; treaties yes; part of it.....where's my handbag?

[Jackdaw33]

I well remember that plan and the map. Fortunately nothing ever became of it.

Soft/hard Brexit are vague terms. Ideally we want the EU to have a revelation, to convert to rational thinking and agree a deal that's acceptable and beneficial to both sides: but they're focused in controlling all and sundry regardless of the cost to either side, so the chances are the best we can get is a clean WTO break, and hope their successors have more sense. Hope for the revelation, expect the clean break.
