It's funny, everything is starting to turn out exactly how the so-called "Project Fear" said it would. It's almost like all those experts knew what they were talking about. This country has gone from being a decently strong country to being the ****show laughing stock of the world, and this is just the start of it. It's all so pointless.

How on earth do you come to that conclusion. Fear getting a stranglehold.

I think quite a few other EU countries are watching what happens with intensity as they are probably not so far away from doing the same thing. The EU fear this which is why they are trying so hard to intimidate us and stop us leaving.

I don't think the world is laughing at us, it is laughing at the EU as it steadfastly destroys Europe.

U.K. leaves the EU without good trade deals
EU refuses to give U.K.any good trade deal
Leavers: haha eu is so dumb, the whole world is laughing at them right now

I don't think this is the right thread to declare your blind faith tbh

Too early to be panicking. Not blind faith at all. Do you usually believe in giving in at the first sign of trouble? Or has it got more to do with agendas!

I believe in calling a spade a spade.
Haven't commented properly on Brexit in months because there's not much point in filling in the gaps imo.
This is actual news though. And you sticking your noes up at it makes your argument very weak. So stop fighting with your agendas Brillo, you're inadvertently ruining them. If you can't be trusted to call a spade a spade, then nobody will take any of your other Brexit-related posts seriously in the future..
Brexit might be alright overall, too soon to tell, but in regards to the OP, this is undoubtedly a disaster. Pretending it is anything else is silly because let's call a spade a spade.

It's only a disaster if you had no idea this was EXACTLY what was expected. Did you think they were going to wander in and hand over everything we wanted? You start negotiations wanting everything... or giving nothing... then you meet somewhere in the middle.

Regarding the emboldened bit... that's not really your call.

Calling anything at this point a disaster is ridiculously premature. Perhaps your expectations in regard the EU are high. My expectations of overpaid unelected officials are quite low. No surprises here.

I disagree here, a lot of Brexit threads up to now have been entirely speculative, and making firm opinions on speculations is premature yeh, which is why I have avoided the majority of them in a few months.
This thread doesnt really hold a speculative tone though. Its very different to the rest of Brexit-threads on tibb, and the appropriate conclusion for remainers and leavers to make is that this small aspect of Brexit is disastrous, and we can only hope that other aspects hold a more positive tone once the speculation starts to turn factual..
