No Trade War - Lets Go WTO

BBC News - Brexit: EU says patience wearing thin with UK in talks to avoid trade war

Let's not call it a trade war! Up until 2020 we had a 50-year long successful trading relationship with 27 other European countries. But it was the will of the people to take back control.  So let's part good friends and as autonomous entities of one United Kingdom and one bloc of 27 European countries. Let's boldly and confidently go forward with WTO trade rules.

Then we can finally see how Brexit measures up to its promises of the UK being that world-class trading powerhouse. We can look forward to being a nation that prospers mightily. Why not?

Europe will have to take a stand on Northern Ireland, in the event of the UK not doing it. But that much was always clear. N. Ireland can remain in the EU and perhaps join with the south, or they can throw their lot in with Great Britain - you can not really have both any more than it can be raining and not raining at the same time in the same place.

The EU did not ask or force the UK to leave the EU - that was all the UK's own doing. Post-separation, neither UK nor the EU has a right to tell the other side what to do. That's what the separation was all about "Taking Back Control".

So let's not call it a trade war, but let's instead look forward to trading with the EU entirely without obligations or any agreements beyond those that are agreed ad-hoc for specific trading opportunities.

Then, finally without the smoke and mirrors from this corrupt government and the lying press and media channels, the truth, whatever it is, will finally be laid bare.

Because unless and until the consequences of Brexit actually are experienced directly by the public, the public, by and large, will remain complacent.

Oh! What a lovely war!
