Sounds to me like Post Brexit Britain is going to resemble The Day the Earth Stood Still. Will we still have electricity, or is it back to the Stone Age for Shoreditch Chatterati? Shit, they really *will* be serving food on Gen 1 iPads. |

We won't all die in a post apocalyptic wasteland, we survived the blitz, we're only poking *one* of our own eyes out etc. Post Brexit Britain was meant to be a paradise where all our bananas are bendy and without EU interference we could flourish. |

Post subject: | Re: Taking the Brexit |
The fact that a no deal would be so harmful to the UK (and relatively only a minor annoyance to the rest of the EU) is exactly why Brexit is such a terrible idea, because the EU is in a far far far stronger position for negotiating an exit deal. |

The Trooper is the best Maiden song ever and if you don't think so, well, all I can say is you're *just* the kind of guy who doesn't appreciate blue passports. Tsk, honestly. Daft Brexit predictions about aviation no longer being possible in the northern hemisphere or whatever are one thing, but this is quite another. Whatever next! |

Looks like Spain's going to introduce direct rule. No idea how this will work out. Still, everyone's reading up the relevant Wikipedia pages to sound informed about Iberian regionalism. I just watched a lot of Sharpe. |

Ooft. Spain's share index, the IBEX 35, just took a big dump (both FTSE100 and FTSE250 look okay) This shit's just got real. Methinks the EU are going to have some very unwelcome distractions from this point, and they're under serious scrutiny like never before. It's early days but this could play out quite favourably for the UK in their Brexit negotiations; they've just been given a rather nice extra card to potentially play... bonus. |

Doubt it. Spanish direct rule imposed within a couple of days and the Catalan parliament dissolved, is my guess. |

Nobody's going to be mad enough to recognise Catalonia as an independent state at this point, least of all the EU. |
