Last friday marked the quarter of a year since the Uk had that referendum. I refuse to call it Brexit, as this means anyone who does, can make it mean anything they want. The question on the referendum paper was: "Should the United Kingdom remain a member of the European Union or leave the European Union?"

In actual fact, the page I got that from, also defines what Brexit means: "The word ‘Brexit’ is an abbreviation of the words ‘British’ and ‘exit’, used to describe the United Kingdom’s possible exit from the European Union."

So, possible. Not binding.

And nothing about the single market, other than the Conservative Party's election manifesto promise to keep Britain in it.

In other words a mess.

That the people tasked with steering us through this maze have little or no idea on the matters concerning this task is astounding. They make basic errors, have to be corrected. It was admitted today by David Davis that Britain may exit the EU with no trade deals in place, the worse scenrio possible, jus the thing he said was "project fear" during the run up the the vote.

The EU still won't talk specifics until article 50 is triggered, and that is now put off until the new year. At least.

Some in Government are pushing for Hard Brexit, meaning trigger article 50 right away, then deal with the issues. Or even sooner if possible, this pissing off the very people who we will have to deal with in future trade negotiations.

And on top of this the masterstroke suggested by The Sun was to recommission the Royal Yacht and use this to impress the world traveling around the world, sailing to Switzerland, up the mountains, in order to conduct trade deals in palatial luxury. Sadly, the PM vetoed this today, it was clearly stupid. As was the idea to bring back imperial measurements, which was nothing to do with the EU anyway. And bring back the old British blue passports, like that makes any differences.

And still there are no real firm objectives as to what HM Government is pushing for, nor when they might make such decisions. If at all.
