I'm expecting a no deal brexit. We'll have a few months of shite to deal with. They'll reach a deal mid year Politicians know that people will find a deal with the EU easier to accept once they've seen what no deal looks like and in the meantime the disaster capitalists will have made their millions from the mess.

Not sure that can happen. Once Boris the clown has dismantled everything EU in the UK, then it will never get redone. There will be no level playing field that the EU wants to trade. Boris is not just pulling the drawbridge up, he is destroying that bridge so that it cannot be lowered again.

But surely that would be a deal done from a very disadvantaged position..?

But if we cared that much a deal would have been done months ago.

Absolutely, but doing that deal while the UK is is still sort of working to the EU rules and regulations is easier than doing it after Boris has torn up that rule book just to be different.

As I see it now, The huge EU trading block has rules for those joining, only the UK wants to join while having its own rules.

All this bull*hit about fishing quotas, and we don't hear anything about (just for example,,,, ) the (infinitely more serious & guenuinely challenging ) Irish situation.?
What ever angle you look at it, this is going to be a monumental shitstorm imho, only variance is how the politicians choose to sell the blame for it all to their blinkered myopic lemmings who voted "Leave".

I heard something on the radio recently, where they were asking if "remainers were gloating, now that they can say I told you so"
(shocked) WTF.????
No one that I know who voted remain is going to be gloating. Apart from the fact that we haven't even seen the tip of the Iceberg yet, to gloat would be about as worthwhile as having "I told you I was ill" engraved on your headstone.

If you think the Irish situation is a complex one, wait until we find out they have no intention of maintaining a level standard on data transfer standards and security.

If free movement of data between the UK and the EU ceases to be a thing then a huge part of the services industry in the UK grinds to a halt. I hate to think what would happen to the finance sector.

Also as an interesting side, AWS don't have a data centre in the UK I think I nearest is located in Ireland. It's amazing how many systems (including the government's own systems) rely on AWS technologies to function. What happens if that data can't flow freely.

Totally & entirely agree with you D6Nutz. (nod) Fwiw I wasn't suggesting the Irish to be the most serious or complex issue. Nor did I intend to infer that it to be the issue that would necessarily have the greatest ramifications for us.
I simply intended to raise my concern that the "basic & simply understood" issue of fishing rights is being busily waved in front of us.

(wait) Watch my right hand, whilst,,,, :^

Fishing rights is a pointless argument to keep the uneducated entertained while they **** up the rest of the deal.
