Jose posted:They don't they're just trying to shift blame onto the EU for when they successfully no deal and everything becomes extremely hosed Its this or 'charitably' the EU as a bloc holds all the cards so the only possible winning strategy for the Tories is if they stop acting like one so their strategy hinges on that happening no matter what the facts on the ground are. It's similar to Greece and the Troika except the Troika was nominally three independent organisations rather than one explicit one.

nah they just actively want no deal because their hedge fund manager is leveraged to the eyeballs with shorts and puts against companies vulnerable to no deal

Apparently you can buy a Cayman S for like 15 grand in decent condition so I was hoping it would sink even lower when the no-deal happens.

Gripweed posted:Couldn't Britain solve this whole northern Ireland, backstop, hard border problem just by letting Northern Ireland reunify with Ireland? It's not up to Britain to hand over NI to the Republic. The GFA states: quote:it is for the people of the island of Ireland alone, by agreement between the two parts respectively and without external impediment, to exercise their right of self-determination on the basis of consent, freely and concurrently given, North and South, to bring about a united Ireland, if that is their wish, accepting that this right must be achieved and exercised with and subject to the agreement and consent of a majority of the people of Northern Ireland. There's no clear majority in support of unification on either side of the border.

The sucky part is watching your country and economy collapse, but on the upside for expats when you visit on holidays you can buy your mum and dad lots of nice presents and then fill suitcases full of local goods. If all your doctors haven't fled the country by then might get a nice medical tourism industry going too. Also like AirBNBs for full apartments in the middle of the city in nice neighborhoods are like $25/night. Hotels have wised up and only accept online bookings in EUR now. Anyway if anyone in the UK (or US for that matter) has any general roadmap questions for "a decade of rule by corrupt and inept authoritarian shitgibbons" lmk.
