    You're really scared that you're going to end up with a no deal Brexit, aren't you?
    :T

    Right, a no deal brexit is scary for grown ups. The only consolation is that it would guarantee a fast rejoin, but the damage that would occur in the mean time would be felt for a long time.

    Well, time to prove it then. Argentina is just one of a number of countries which would happily sell us more food stuffs.

    They also want the falklands back.

    That would be difficult as they never had them to begin with.

    You mean a WTO Brexit? No one is pretending that there won't be some hitches along the way but it certainly won't be the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse scenario beloved of hard core remainers like you.

    My income is derived in the UK so according to the doom mongers, I should be terrified. Sorry but I'm not.

    One more day to go before the big... postponement.
  • And we can now officially revoke article 50 and remain on exactly the same terms as now:

    How ironic.
    A ruling from the ECJ telling Britain what it can do.

    As this is a ruling from a court that Britain wants nothing to do with what will Britain say. I assume the ruling will be rejected by the British Government.
    If it was not such a mess it would almost be funny.
    There will be no Brexit dividend for Britain.

    ...

    An UK court could not rule on the legalities surrounding an EU process could it?

    I think it's stupid that they did not decide the revocation rules when A50 was developed, not now.

    It was half hearted legislation at best.
