Why is it that these 'twenty things' type articles always look more like 'one paragraph copied at random from 19 previous articles plus one what-if paragraph to make it look like we actually wrote something'?
These should be done more like a competition, 'which is the newly made-up one' answers on an ISO A6 sized postcard 280gsm minimum as determined by ISO 534:2011 please NB anything over 1200gsm will be disqualified as attention-seeking unless it's amusingly shaped

It's from the Guardian.
Of course there are potential solutions or workaround to each of the problems listed (and many others beside) but each will need careful analysis, negotiation and implementation. It's going to be a complex business which is going to occupy politicians, the civil service, the courts and businesses for years to come when they could be spending the time and money more productively. Leaving the EU isn't just a matter of cancelling the direct debit to Brussels. |

I'm struggling to find any factual inaccuracies in the article.

The UK steel industry could collapse overnight There’s an EU agreement at the WTO preventing China from dumping cheap steel in Europe. Without it, plants such as Port Talbot would collapse as Chinese product flooded the market. When Britain leaves the EU, it will claim that it is still a signatory to this agreement and the Chinese will object. This dispute is likely to last for years. If Britain loses, it will likely lose its domestic steel industry. The EU wanted to impose a higher tariff on steel imports from China but Britain objected. https://www.theguardian.com/business...-workers-anger |

And still no counter arguments from the Brexiteers against the points made.
Anyone would think they have no answers. |

Anyone would think they have no answers. My only conclusion is that they have better engineers in Germany.

Most of us could not care less about reading extracts from the Guardian and helping you to understand them. If you think that they are valid them embellish them yourself.

I love these clutching at straws threads being not able to get over that we are leaving and coming with the most crazy what if scenarios that could happen, but in nearly all cases wont.

Yep, all we're getting is 'ANSWER ZE QUESTION!'
Anybody'd think he's working for the Germans. Oh, hang on ... |

Anyone would think they have no answers. We are where we are and have to work from that position. |

If one accepts the Bremoaner argument that the difficulties are too great to allow us to leave the EU, doesn't that imply that the UK had effectively already lost its independent sovereignty to decide to leave? I don't remember the electorate being asked to approve that position.

What's the point, it won't change anything.
We are where we are and have to work from that position. All I am hearing from the Brexiteers is "lalala I'm not listening". Even though I have gained financially thanks to Brexit I still think it will be very bad for the country as a whole in the long term. |
