brexit? not going to happen is it?

Wanna bet?

Anyone seen as trying to prevent Brexit from happening politically will be toast as far as the electorate of the UK is concerned. The way the EU Commissioners and the Germans and the French are posturing it would not surprise me at all if we opt for The "No Deal is better than a Bad Deal" Option In that scenario the EU loses one of it's best customers and the "Divorce Settlement" the EU keeps harping on about is reduced to zero. If they then wish to pile tariffs on our goods, we pile tariff's on theirs as they sell more to us we profit from their short-sightedness, their businesses hurt more than ours as we are free to trade with the world they are not. Meanwhile they have to fund the shortfall created by us leaving, problems in Greece have not gone away, Macron's honeymoon in France is well and truly over, Merkel will be put firmly in the picture by German industry and nobody has got a clue what will happen in Spain.
