Re: Post-Brexit Thread

Brexit would probably not have happened if David Cameron really did have a well organised plan for dealing with immigration but he didn't have a plan and despite rigorous questioning he came up with the same mantralike answer he wanted to say rather than the answer the public wanted to hear. As a consequence he came across as a person who was trying to hide something, which indeed he was.

As it transpires while our government ponders over Brexit the EU is starting to panic as it begins to realise that the UK really is intending to leave and all the adverse consequences that may have for the EU. We have already had a few positive statements since the Brexit decision about the UK having special status, the possibilities of a special deal and the fact that the EU might fall apart without the UK. There have even been admissions that London will still remain the financial capital of Europe following Brexit.

The responses from the rest of the world have been most welcome and give us great hope for the future.

The EU politicians have been playing a great big poker game trying to make the situation look bad for the UK but Mrs May has called their bluff because unlike David Cameron she has done her research and is coming up with a plan. She seems a more open and honest politician, if there is such a thing, but like all these things the truth will eventually come out.

The ironic thing is that in their discussions one EU minister said that the UK were leaving the current version of the EU which is true because if the EU were to reform substantially for the benefit of all members becoming just a free trade area as it was before it's possible that the UK would stay but the EU is unlikely to reform and even if it did it's unlikely to willingly come up with a deal that has the freedoms which Brexit provides.

By taking steps to prevent other countries from leaving the EU is hastening its own demise. If we wait long enough the EU will collapse and we will end up being able to trade freely with any EU country and still have the power to run our own country and immigration policy free of interference.

It will be interesting to see what the future brings.
