We need a campaign to take back control from the WTO.

If north korea can do it, then so can we. Look how happy the people are on the news, we need what they've got.

In a no rules trade negotiation between the US and the UK, who do you think is going to come out on top?

It depends on what you mean by "on top". Trump obviously doesn't want to import anything and instead want to export all their low quality food. But if we're starving, then that might be a win.

It's sad that we've gone from leading the world to regarding "not starving" as being a success.
If the US prevents us from starving it'll be due to importing low quality food. Is that really what people want out of brexit?

When exactly did we lead the world? We invaded some of it and stole a load of their riches, I don't see that as the same thing.

In the long term "not starving" is a success, because we're on a downward trajectory that will only be sped up by brexit.

It really is shocking stuff and completely self inflicted!

Nearly one in three British businesses are planning to relocate some of their operations abroad or have already shifted them to cope with a hard Brexit, according to a leading lobby group.

The Institute of Directors (IoD) warned that 29% of firms in a survey of 1,200 members believed Brexit posed a significant risk to their operations in the UK and had either moved part of their businesses abroad already or were planning to do so.

Those Brexiters who wish the EU ill will think so.

Any loss of Jobs or GDP in Britain is self inflicted (Brexiter philosophy no gain without pain)

Any Job losses or GDP in ROI will be inflicted BY THE ACTIONS of the UK.

The negative effects of Brexit will no doubt be placed firmly at the door of those of us that voted for it, initially at least. I sense however that narrative will change pretty quickly if EU citizens feel their situations have been worsened just to protect the EU project and those who benefit greatly from its continuance as is.
I’m not sure recession hit Italians will look to kindly on a intransigent Brussels if whacking great tariffs on their exports to the U.K. suddenly are the norm. The economic slowdown in the Eurozone might have come just at the right time for the U.K. in these increasingly fraught negotiations.

Not just initially. Permanently.

I already see a concerted effort to put blame anywhere but with the Leave voter, but you're not going to get away with it.

Like all good Remoaners you present conjecture as fact. We are merely at the end of the beginning not the beginning of the end.
I wear my leave voter status as a badge of honour and I have a gut feeling that they’ll be erecting statues in our honour in the not too distant future.
