Blink or No Deal Poll

[TatianaBis]

Interested to know which way Brexiter forumers think it will go:

Last minute U-turn + skeleton EU deal or No Deal.

@Mistigri

No deal this year, but there will eventually be one. The no dealers have never understood that no deal isn't a stable end point.

This is what I’m hoping for.

It's interesting how so many people still think that the EU can do fine without our trade, perhaps they can, but so can we in that case. I'd also remind others that no deal also includes no access to our fishing waters which most certainly will hurt many northern coastal countries who take most of the fish from our seas and eat more of the species we have in our waters than we do. So I'm of the opinion that the EU will blink.

Fishing is worth less to the EU / UK economy than video games.
What on earth makes you think that Barnier will sacrifice anything for a few razor clams ?

Lol. How much, as a percentage of their exports, do the EU sell to us? And how much, as a percentage, is that of our imports?

My dad was telling me that the pharmaceutical firm he worked for long ago asked a supplier to change the specification of one of their parts to meet their new model design. Because the pharma company were clearly big customers as they bought all their parts from them. The manufacturers replied "maybe so, but we only sell you 10% of our product. The other 90% don't want a change to so... No."

And that's what we're doing. Thinking that we're the big I am, when we actually represent a small market to the EU as a whole.

It will be a shitshow and the government will expend far more energy spinning the blame onto the civil service and the EU than they will trying to mitigate the disaster.

This.

And then once the rich have bought everything up cheap, and there's a total shit show in NI and Scotland, we will start trying to rejoin. But with a much worse position. Happy days.

DoubleTrouble you poor deluded fool. I would point out the size of the EU and wealth of continental resources they have to draw on, compared to our one small island’s food capability, but you are clearly too far gone. As are we all thanks to your insane representatives.

Apart from fishing, what tangible benefits are we going to receive from no deal?

Aqueducts?

@Jason118

Aqueducts?

Blue passports!!!

@NiceGerbil - Blue passports!!!

With "Made in France" stamped on them.

@Jason118

Aqueducts?

All right, but apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh-water system, and public health, what have the EU ever done for us?

Aqueducts are cool though

It will be No Deal.
A disaster for all but the disaster capitalists like Rees-Mogg & Co

I agree with @CeaseAndDesist - if you are not scared you are

A. already very rich
or
B. not paying attention

Scotland will go Independent within 3 years.

What apart from Acqaducts and Blue Passports have the W'omans ever given us?

My money is on UK blinking, but that's just a not very educated guess.
Am waiting and seeing and stockpiling. And praying for a miracle.

Judging by the news today with the thing about renaging on the original terms. And the top civil servant lawyer resigning...

Things aren't looking good.

No deal. I really don't see it going any other way at this point.

No deal. BJ thinks he is playing hard but he's just making reckless gambles, ruining our reputation and condemning the country to more misery on top of the pandemic. The EU won't blink because they will not undermine the integrity of the union and the single market. That is worth more to them. Plus they have already been preparing for this scenario and have moved on! The uk on the other hand, hasn't even got all the preparations in place and has used up most of its stockpile on the pandemic. But even if no deal, they'll have to go crawling back sooner or later, desperate for a deal and will have to accept any terms because no deal isn't favourable long term.

Particularly as Pelosi has warned there will be “absolutely no chance of a US-UK trade agreement passing the Congress,” if Britain violates an international treaty and Brexit undermines the Belfast Agreement.

I don't think Johnson and the ERG will crawl back for a deal. They will do a runner like Cameron did.

Maybe BJ and co won't, but someone will have to, eventually. I agree, I think BJ is going to 'make like Cameron' and scarper. Leave someone else to clear up the mess. They've already laid the groundwork, hinting he's going to resign because of 'health reasons'.

@Peregrina

For sure. Someone else will have to do the crawling. Preferably Starmer.

No deal. This govt won't blink

I agree. Cummings government won't blink because it is entirely to their benefit, as wealthy white men, not to.

I believe we're screwed. I'm stockpiling. Again.
