Brexit is dead

Brexit is dead.

Dead in that all that was promised before and in the year following the referendum have been shown to be just lies or pie in the sky.

There has been no "no downsides, just considerable upsides". These have not been "the easiest deal in history". And no has "negotiationg trade deals twice the area of the EU happened either".

They were wrong then, and so why should we believe the Brexiteers when they says trading solely on WTO schedules will be just fine?

There is no reason to believe them.

And they now claim that Brexit is either betraying the voters, betraying Brexit or is just the wrong sort of Brexit, becasue at a basic leven the factions of Brexiteers are as split as anything as to what Brexit was meant to be. And yet they argue that the voters knew exactly what it was they voted to leave.

It is bollocks, obviously.

But Parliament is equally split in what to do next, the few choices left in which direction to go require at least half the House agreeing on that. Agreeing to what they don't want is one thing, what they do is another.

And May has given up reaching out to the other party leaders because each put pre-conditions on any talks, so May is trying to get the Cabinet and the DUP to agree to take out the backstop of the WA. Ignoring the fact that the backstop is in and will not be removed by Ireland or the Eu for this very reason. So it is pointless.

And Corbyn to say he will not participate in talks until no deal is taken off the table, when no deal s the default position in UK and international law, in order to take it off the table something else will have to be agreed. And that goes for The House of Commons too, having rejected the WA, and wanting to avoid no deal, they will have come up with some other plan, although options are very limited, and of course, time is running out fast.

All that is left of Brexit is its battered corpse, designed to be whatever each Brexiteer says it is. Thing is, Brexit was always a bad idea. Made worse by the A50 process, and maybe in the abstract sense it might sound OK< but as soon as it comes to details, it reveals itself to be total shot. I mean you can polish a turd....

And there are now rumours that May is going to scrap the Human Rights Act post Brexit, because not being in the EU would allow her too. So the bonfire of rights that was warned about, is coming true.

Although, the story in the Torygraph about re-writing the GFA was shown to be bollocks before breakfast, what with it being an international treaty between the UK and Ireland guaranteed by the US.

But it can never be Brexit that is wrong, it has to be reality, or someone else, and the very pillars of two decades of peace in NI and Great Britain must be destroyed on the altar of Brexit.
