Hard Brexit is an Unmitigated Disaster!

Hard Brexit is an Unmitigated Disaster!

Brexit is like watching a fatal car crash in slow motion without having the power to do anything about it! I have been watching some coverage online of interviews with Brexiters, and I have come to the conclusion that they are like Climate change deniers in America, or die hard Trump supporters! None of them, even the leaders, seem to have any idea of the unmitigated disaster that's about to happen. And none have any rational proposal to make the break painless, or have any plan to cope with the disaster about to hit the UK the day after Brexit, without any agreement. When told (correctly), for instance, that the day after leaving, all British planes may have the right to fly to Europe, but none will any longer have the right to fly from within Europe to another place in Europe. i.e. From Nice to Amsterdam, for instance! And all flights to and from the United States will no longer have official permission to fly to and from the US, because such permission is given as part of the agreements worked out between the EU and the US. Every car that is exported to Europe will be subject to 10% tariffs, under the WTO, and Beef from Britain could be subject to 90% tariffs under WTO rules for beef imported from non-EU countries into EU countries! When Brexiters hear this, they say "well we can have side agreements!" But none have been agreed to, or attempted, nor would they be possible to arrange in just a few months, let alone days! It's absolutely nuts! Incomprehensibly stupid, to a degree that you question their sanity! We are walking like zombies into a complete trading catastrophe! A true nightmare!
