:conf: Why would you think this wouldn't happen?

The EU couldn't give the UK a preferential deal the same as members still inside it.

here's a suggestion then - as you are no longer worried about the referendum - and the EU will soon be gone - why not devote your stress/anger time to summat else?

Interesting decision by the Danes to confiscate refugees goods at the border to help pay for their keep. Undoubtedly done as a way of scaring new arrivals off but I wonder if it will catch on elsewhere if it proves 'successful'?

it seems like the kind of policy that hasn't been thought through... it is supposed to be enforced by border police - who then must acquire some kind of reliable jewellry-valuing knowledge in order to decide how much a watch or a necklace is worth??

Easy. Strip search every border crosser. If a valid passport or visa is found, reinstate clothes, goods and baggage, otherwise naked person in cell until a local pawn shop can reclothe them to be sent onto refugee camp. Easy. 8)

I've only waited three years for you to come up with some figures that the exit campaign can point to around how much it'll cost to put in all the new trade agreements, legislation that we no longer adopt from the EU and what you think our future trade tariff position will be from WTO? Strangely enough every time I ask, you change the subject.

I'm fairly ambivalent towards the ECHR, single defence forces etc. although I could see potentially some benefits. So you wouldn't hear much fuss from me if some of those fell by the wayside. I do care about our trading terms and none of the Brexit lot seem keen to answer the questions about it. How much it costs to stay in is well chronicled, so there's not much for me to answer there. What information do you think you need about staying in, that you haven't cut and pasted your view upon, a million times already from random sources on the internet?

Oddly, it will barely matter. What the EU seem to be barely grasping, & very late, is that Brexit would be like removing a keystone in a bridge. There is opposition to the European Project across the EU. It may not collapse completely if the UK exited but it will end the ceaseless March and, over time, will make it a quite different beast than it has been marching toward.

Of they'd just left it at being the EEC then it would have been excellent.
Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.
