I have only just come across this from one of the main leave voices. Is this a parody or something? http://peterjnorth.blogspot.co.uk/2017/10/i-dont-like-this-brexit-but-i-will-live.html?m=1

We really must get away from calling all those concerned about the economy bedwetters as much as we need to move away from labeling all those that wanted to leave racists.
What we know is that’s it’s not going very well and the current set of leaders are far from strong and stable.

Here's a question which you'll no doubt swerve. What are the government doing well?

He's for real, although that's just his blog. He's involved with this which states today no deal is where we're heading - http://eureferendum.com/default.aspx
Long time critics of the Government's Brexit approach, they wrote a pretty comprehensive report here stating that no deal and WTO would be perilous for all concerned a while back - http://www.eureferendum.com/documents/flexcit.pdf
The fact our negotiation team are reported as being N/A for tomorrow, losing 25% of the time available for this round of talks, perhaps back their view up on no deal now happening - http://www.independent.co.uk/news/u...iations-eu-michel-barnier-delay-a7992751.html
I don’t think it is. He’s a Brexiter who thinks the Tories are still pursuing policies based on what is good for the careers and personalities of politicians in the Tory party rather than the country. And he’d be right.
If we are to do this Brexit properly - and I voted Remain - we need a saner and less selfish lot than May and her uncontrollable narcissistics.

Not surprising really. I wrote on this thread a couple of months ago that I didn't think Brexit would happen. The EU has all 28 countries by the balls, all tied up in so much legislation that it's impossible to leave. Maybe with a decade of planning and a government who aren't total f**kwits it might just be doable, but we don't have either of those.
The EU will give us extended membership when the period is up and the Brexit can will be kicked down the road until a pro-EU government is voted in to cancel the whole thing and sign over more powers to say sorry.
That's my prediction, and I think in the long run it will all end in tears.

The same could be said about the EU too.

Genuine question - is that right. I used to work many years ago in an admin/management role for Smiths Industries, who supply stuff for BAE, so I am genuinely interested.

The guy is not a main Leave voice but it doesn’t seem to stop you claiming he is and posting a link from him each month.
The guy is a loon, he has set himself up as a one man band (with the help of his dad) Leave organisation, he wrote a paper on how Brexit should proceed months and months ago based on an unworkable Norway model, he obviously put a lot of time and effort into it but it was widely ridiculed as a bit hat stand. He now spends his whole time twitter trolling and attacking people on blogs who disagree with his opinion, and it’s a sort of stalky relentless type of attacking. He has a special hate for any gov position on Brexit but lays into “lefties” with equal vigour.
I suggest you give him a massive swerve, unless you enjoy reading online meltdowns.
He is no more of a main Leave voice as Eddie Izzard is the voice of Remain. Although I must admit I would like to see the two of them hammer out a debate in a padded cell.

You haven't been listening. Now pay attention:
1. If it's going wrong or bad news, it's BREXIT's fault.
2. If it's a success or doing OK, it's despite BREXIT.

Interesting question in the Q & A debate to the PM that followed her statement yesterday.
Vicky Ford (Chelmsford) (Con)
I thank the Prime Minister for the positive tone of her Florence speech, and for the constructive meetings that have taken place since then. Does she agree that it is in the interests of consumers on both sides of the channel for us to have a deep, special and bespoke partnership that covers goods and services? In that regard, I am thinking particularly of the hundreds and thousands of German consumers who have bought life insurance products from British insurance companies, and who will find that unless there is agreement, their pension plan savings are lost.
The Prime Minister
My hon. Friend has made an important point. People often assume that only UK businesses and UK individuals will be affected, but actually people living in the remaining 27 countries of the European Union will also be affected, which is precisely why I think that the deep and special partnership to which my hon. Friend has referred is in the interests of both sides.

Do you really think we should pull out now and not negotiate the arrangements for our withdrawal, taking into consideration the framework for our future relationship (as laid out in Article 50) ?
Im thinking maybe the Germans in the equation mentioned in the question are sort of hoping these sort of technicalities, outside of a future trade deal framework are negotiated and concluded.
Given the British governments total and utter cluelessness I'm coming round to the idea that it might be in everyone's best interest to just spilt now. If the Germans can bail out an entire nation I'm sure they can prop up a few pension plans. Get over it, you won.

Well if you really thought it was a good idea she would have said so.

In better times perhaps the government would have been able to find a way to avoid this, but when you're preparing for a cliff edge you keep your power dry
