Nobody gives a stuff what car you drive Nick - it’s your petulant attitude whereby you label me as “paranoid” and accuse me of rubbishing people with Aspergers Syndrome that occasionally brings you to the attention of others.
So in the grand tradition of this Club - that welcomes everyone- even me !! - if playing the BALL not the player let’s have a look at what has really gone on.
T May never even considered a No Deal Exit - never discussed it.
The EU is intent on a Backstop Clause that means that if the U.K. walks away it has to leave Northern Ireland behind.
The EU is refusing to budge on this because it thinks the U.K. Parliament is scared witless of this.
But Business and Ministers - as well as the population as a whole - are concluding that this does not “box us in” - we are not terrified, we are not cornered. Put No Deal on the table and it all becomes do-able. WTO rules overall add up to less than the net cost of EU Membership.
No Deal will be difficult - and there will de disturbances - but these would be temporary.
The real difficulty in all this will ultimately be for the likes of MP Nick Boles whose constituents voted 60% in favour of Leave. And yet Nick Boles has threatened to bring down the Government if “No Deal” is even put back on the negotiating table.
I bet that went down well with those who voted for him!
What we have here is brinkmanship - the EU is very, Very good at this.
In contrast we had T May sitting down with the EU expecting them to play fair.
You only have to look at how the EU treated Cameron when he tried for the reforms we all wanted for and within the EU - to realise the EU is not interested in Reform.
It told Cameron to Bu99er off - and we now have Brexit as a direct consequence of EU intransigence.
