ROFL! It's a corrupt government led by a corrupt Maduro that's the problem, coffee.

There are three fundamental questions for anyone advocating Brexit:
1. What, precisely, are the significant and tangible benefits of leaving the EU?
2. What damage to the UK and its citizens is an acceptable price to pay for those benefits?
3. Which ruling of the ECJ is most persuasive of the need to leave its jurisdiction?

It's not even that Brexit has fallen apart: it never had any substance in the first place! It's a shambles. And Farage shoulders a lot of the blame for the mess. Or rather he should - if he had any integrity.

Oops! Did you know coffee - or has the right-wing xenophobic press not yet told you - that operating under WTO rules is not tariff-free? Any idea how the Brexiters are going to square that circle? No? Thought not.

omigod yes. Please try to read something else, coffee. Or do you think that Alan and I are ignoramuses or liars? I can tell you the name of someone who is one or the other, and that is the author of this article. He talks about the WTO being the basis of trade for most of the world, but, apart from the Islamic state of Mauretania, all WTO members are also members of some trading bloc (like the EU). And he misleading talks of "reverting" to the WTO: well, this did not exist until 1995, 22 years after Britain joined the EU, or the EEC as it then was. Actually, and I did read all his article, he is quite funny when he claims that this ultrahard Brexit tactic which he advocates will bring the EU to heel and panting for a "quick Canada-style deal". Your fellow Brexiter Nick has often reminded us that the EU-Canada deal was tortuously long!

No, coffee. The Irish border problem is a problem created by Brexiters and it's for them to solve. We're still waiting.
It was all going to be a piece of cake, remember.
