So we leave the EU without agreement, and revert to WTO rules.What can go wrong?
Quite a lot actually
Reverting to “only” WTO rules as an option, implies that Britain is not actually a nation state, and never has been as yet.
We’ll write ourselves into the global economy on our own terms.
We can start by having a Brexiteer as PM who has the foreign connections that May clearly never had.
The only “template” deal that was worth looking at was “Canada+++” which has already been torpedoed by May’s deal today.
“No Deal” would basically mean that the EU trade goods have to tender to sell here, whilst we get to tender our own goods anywhere else we wish, no longer held back by EU regulation.
Examples:
Buying Oranges from Florida instead of Seville, because the EU have added a tariff that actually stitches up Spanish farmers rather than the UK who can just re-source oranges from wherever they come cheaper or at least tariff-free…
Selling banking services to the entire Americas and Far East nations, not to mention Middle East, now we have so many of them already living in this country. That we now fall outside the EU means we don’t have to obey their rules that basically don’t allow us to do jack without their express permission, commissions, and tariffs.
Transporting goods and services around Britain, currently done rather too much by foreign-plated vehicles that not only risk bringing criminal elements into the country more than UK drivers going out to the continent do - but also pay their truckers “below the UK minimum wage”, which would be illegal, if the EU actually bothered to enforce UK laws for our benefit. They don’t bother of course, because “Cheap Labour Continent-Wide” is all the EU and EU supporting globalists already running this country - are interested in.
All Brexit need be - is STOP paying endless third party middle-men commissions, tariffs, and fees to do absolutely nowt, except step on our feet, and play the “----Ist” card when we stand up and object, and the official “listener” happens to carry one or more “indictable labels”.
If we’d had a British version of Trump - Brexit would have happened over the weekend following the referendum.
We don’t though. The closest we DO have - is Boris Johnson, born American in NYC no less, and able to make a solid connection with at least Trump (for the time being) to help complete Brexit with the US special relationship (especially teaming up against France and Germany now) to help us all “get along” with a deal that cuts out the EU fledgling empire from sowing any more bureaucratic “Byzantine” mayhem around the world.
Bitcoin is on the ropes today, along with the pound as I write this… Funny that. You’d think Bitcoin would be tied to the Euro or USD rather than apparently follow the rises and falls of Sterling…
Oil, keeps trying to rally from it’s lows as well - but keeps falling back later.
There is a huge glut in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve in the USA right now. No basic upward pressure on prices at all.
This month’s inflation figure came in at 2.4%, unchanged from the previous month.
Wages are also rising, so we’re talking about REAL growth in positive numbers now then.
Next month, the sharp declines in the oil complex this past fortnight - should feed through into next month’s fresh inflation figures.
Essentially, we’ve reached the point where “The only thing to fear - is EU fear bullshine itself!”
May has around 24 hours to go down the “No Deal” brexit route at full speed now - OR step aside for someone that WILL.
If neither happens - then Corbyn will reach over, and proverbally cut all their throats, probably on live TV to boot.
Brexit supporters might as well vote UKIP now, as we’re past caring if “A vote for UKIP lets Corbyn win the next election”.
Ask me if I give a ■■■■…
