This is patently untrue. Our relationship changed when we had the referendum.

Whether there is remaining bitterness from either side, or mild indifference, will depend on the negotiations.

Known quantity is cow poo and you know it.

Define the "EU".

Delaying Brexit is denying Brexit

Quick. Get St Theresa's speech writers on the phone. We've finally got something to replace "no deal is better than a bad deal," "brexit means brexit" and "strong & stable," or whatever they were.

WRONG!
Now if you can, show us any international law that says you have to have a "hard" border.

Wrong.
I do not agree and nor I suspect would "most Brexiteers".

"Leave the European Union" was a simple enough question on the ballot paper.
Anybody with any doubt what that meant before voting could very easily have looked it up & the EU is very clear about what it is. (In the context of this discussion at least.)
If you didn't like the though of leaving all that the EU entails or if you had any doubt the option was there: "Remain a member of the European Union".

You're doing no more than (to use your own terminology) parroting anti-Brexit media blurb because it was always obvious that leaving the EU would mean going the WTO route unless the EU were willing to harm themselves too.
There's nothing uncertain about it.
Prepare for no-deal WTO Brexit.
Anything more (an EU deal for example) would be a bonus.

From my family's dealings it is what sensible people have already been doing and (I suspect) it might well have been May's plan all along.
If you think about it logically (which I understand isn't easy for too many in this forum) that supposition would explain quite a lot.

Thank you Moby (is that really Richard?) though it has no relevance whatsoever to my post.
Unless you mean that Sky are showing that they are preparing as I said in my post that sensible people were?
"Broadcaster tells partner channels to make sure they stay legal" is surely just common sense and besides, the rise of streaming from such a variety of sources means there are plent of alternatives.

Are you old enough to remember only two or three channels?
BBC.
Then ITV.
Then BBC2.

The UK could be bloody minded and at the very least operate customs checkpoints on inbound freight traffic. In essence play the same game the French will no doubt try.

We wrote into the withdrawal bill that there would be no infrastructure on the Irish border. Oops.

Blimey, I thought the comedian would never turn up.
