The government can't or won't sort out this fuckup. So a new referendum is the only option. The Brexit extremists say that a new referendum would be an insult to democracy. What the doodah? How can asking the people be anything but democratic? More democracy does not trample on democracy, even a Brexit fancier should be able to understand that.
There are 4 options, the government and the opposition are split and no amount of debate and clowning around in the House of Commons will unite them, so as we are their bosses, I suppose they will have to ask us, democratically, what we want:
1 Theresa May's deal - 5% hit to GDP
2 No Deal - a total disaster with a minimum 10% hit to GDP
3 Norway Style, drop the stupid Freedom of Movement red lines - 2% hit to GDP
4 Remain - Minimal hit to GDP, there will be some of course because of the exodus of companies / services.
None of the above will come without cost.
- All the bollocks about marvellous new trade deals has been shown to be dumb as fuck why would any country give a better deal to a country with 65m people (soon to be 55m) over half a continent with 600m folks?
- The uncontrolled free movement argument is bollocks of course, we always have had the power to kick out anyone after 3 months, all the other modern European countries do it.
- Taking back control trading under WTO rules is about as daft as you can get, anyone who thinks that is possible really needs to find out what the WTO is and what their rules are.
- The undemocratic EU nonsense is also total gonads, how may Brexiters know who their regional MEPS are? We are not under their power because we are actually a key member.
- The millions of folks flooding in when Turkey joins the EU - more bollocks. VETO, we have one.
- Immigrants lowering wages is also laughable - anybody paying less than the minimum wage is breaking the law, and anybody thinking that the great unwashed British layabout will do the shit jobs currently being done by EU migrants is deluded.
- The imagined drain on resources is also nonsense, every credible study done shows that EU migrants are nett contributors to the UK. These studies were done by experts so the Brexit mob will reject them of course.
- Sovereignty is another Herring Rouge. We make our own laws, mostly sensible. We have a vote on EU laws that in the most part are sensible. I like not being electrocuted or poisoned.
- The £350m on the bus has been proven time and time again to be a total lie.
- Stopping freedom of movement is mental. It works both ways, it's nice to go on holiday and be covered by reciprocal health care, obviously fanatic Brexiters will never want to leave Little England, but millions would like to.
- Stopping freedom of movement is mental. Yep, twice! They did that in Berlin, it didn't work and why would it be so great unless you really hate foreigners?
- Stopping freedom of movement is mental. Three times! Most of the immigrants into the UK do not come from the EU! I suppose they will the next targets of the neo-facists.
- Most Brexiters don't give flying doodah about Northern Ireland, how many deaths will be acceptable to them?
- 37% is not a majority, 63% of the electorate did not vote for Brexit.
The promised land of milk and honey that the Brexiters talked about has been replaced with survival. Yes of course the UK would survive Brexit, it won't be the end of the World, but the potential 10% GDP hit would be similar to the after effects of a war. There are no benefits at all to leaving the EU. It is an act of self-harm. If the Brexiting 1/3rd of the country were a person it would be sectioned under the mental heath act.
