- Impact of no-deal Brexit on grocery prices
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfr ... ou-thoughtAs a means to lower expectations and add drama, Johnson continued to perpetuate the “no-deal” hoax of his predecessor – that it was so plausible that he would pursue such a ruinous outcome is no credit to him. The notion that some of the world’s largest economies would go into meltdown over a few middle-aged men with outsized egos and puffed-up chests arguing about fish was always ludicrous. And embarrassing.
It is a sad indictment of our political and media class that so many played along. Brexit was always in part fuelled by the allure of destroying the present. The farce has been presented as a drama, when reversing more than 40 years of cooperation for peace and prosperity is truly a tragedy.
The Brexit deal itself is nothing but thin gruel.
That's pretty much it.
All of which was perfectly possible without leaving the EU. We've not gained any additional opportunities. We've just shut some off. And we'll spend the next decade trying to rebuild the relationship we had with other European countries and the commercial relationship we had with the rest of the world due to us being in the EU. It's all an absolute waste of time, in the vain hope we will become a global super power by ourselves.
