Your entire argument is based on a narrow analysis of that video. How can you have a rounded discussion about an issue if you won’t consider basic business practicalities and real life situations?
Itto has been jumping on your coattails based on this analysis to promote the second vote and to stop brexit. To be honest I’m not entirely sure where you stand. You are talking about living with a compromise. After arguing against brexit, it seems there is a deal which you can live with. That must mean you can accept the concept of brexit.
At least with itto you know what you are getting. Irrational fear and rabid remainerism but with you I can’t tell.
I think you may have realised that actually a reasonable brexit is not an awful thing for the uk otherwise you wouldn’t be able to live with anything (like itto) But I must say, it’s not clear. Has your position moved?
No as I said, I did not vote for Brexit, and I am against the concept. I just don’t think that it is possible to be a standalone nation these days.
That said, I accept that leave won the referendum, and that once Article 50 was triggered, we left on the 29th March 2019.
What I can’t accept was the leave being put forward by Davis and co.
That was simply impractical in all aspects and certainly within the given the timeframe, and the situation was further compounded by the conflicting legislation passed by Parliament. That’s what the video emphasis.
Now it seems that common sense will prevail we will have an orderly exit and nothing much will change.
The crucial thing is though, once the exit side is sorted, then we are only dealing with the future relationships. Not only the EU, but everyone else.
Personally I think that is a more productive place to be starting these negotiations, and I think the outcome will be better for everyone.
But it will take time and I really don’t know what the outcome will be. I am sure that the situation both for the EU and the UK will be radically different to what it is now.
At least we should not crash out with the power brood damage that would do.
So do I want to leave the EU? No
Do I accept the referendum result? Yes
Am I happy with the deal proposal? I would rather we weren’t in that position, but get Ben that we are, I think this is the best option available, so I can live with that.
And if you still don’t know where I stand, well currently it’s Birmingham.....sadly.
