The doom and gloom predictions became ever more strident and scary! And were based upon the very worst case scenarios.
Even now we see headlines from the Remain Camps saying things like we would be “4% poorer” with a no deal Brexit - but dig down into where that 4% negative comes from and you find that the reality is that it comes from a “projection” that suggests GDP growth by 2030 is currently estimated to be 27% - but a No Deal Brexit “could” reduce that to 23%!!
The reality is slowly seeping out to businesses and people - for example WTO tariffs would average out at about 4% - but the current net payments we make to the EU of circa £8bn to £10bn a year equates to about 7% of exports. 
So to say that the No Deal scenario was never presented is false - it keeps getting rammed down our throats via “Project Fear”.
But the old adage is very true.
You can fool some of the people some of the time but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time.
People have seen the intransigence of the EU - even some those who voted Remain accept the vote result and are appalled at the antics of the EU negotiators - as well as ours!! |
You will no doubt be shocked to know I disagree with much of what you said!
Anyway, the bottom line seems to be, that certainly in recent times, the Brexit Process - that is, exiting the EU, by any means, damaging or otherwise, is more important than the original vote to leave the EU with a deal, as promised by numerous Leave Supporters
Easiest deal in History.
They need us more than we need them.
They will and must give us a deal.
BMW will put extreme pressure on Germany to give us a good deal.
Sunny uplands.
To name a few.
Now it’s people knew they were voting for a no deal??
So here’s were we actually agree - you can fool some of the people all the time, fool all of the people some of the time, but not all the people all of the time.
StopPress: BJ’s foolish kipper stunt about the Isle of Man.
First - Isle of Man NOT in EU
Second - Ice Pack requirement is British Government requirement NOT EU.
Ah well, why let the truth get in the way of a story your supporters want to believe anyway!
