She has been dragged kicking and screeming to where she is now.
A Canada style deal would be the most advanced form of FTA that has been lodged with the WTO.

If you think that is a hard Brexit I don't know what to say to you Pat. All this hard, soft is bollocks anyway.

It makes you wonder how the rest of the world manages without EU type arrangements.

But somehow, they seem to manage quite well.

Growth in the Eurozone since it was established as been half that of the USA and less than most non EU G20 countries and EU Growth on the whole only look a tad better because of those EU nations outside of the Euro that have done a tad better.

Economically it's a modern day "what not to do" and yet the ideologues still persist and actually think the answer is more EU.
Stolly talks of nutjobs but the nutjobs are those that want to shackle themselves to something that doesn't work.
