More hysteria. Since when have you known legal advice to suggest something that might not be legal? Of course the AG couldn’t say in writing that we might tear up the deal and walk away. Imagine if the advice had contained that and then been published! But I have little doubt that it will have been discussed as an option by all the intelligent people that have been involved in these discussions.
And which court are you suggesting we could argue about it in? The same court presumably that is taking Trump to task over pulling the US out of the CCA? Come on, let’s apply a little intelligence and common sense to this debate and cut all the media hype.
And as for trade agreements with the EU and the rest of the world, again don’t believe all the nonsense being spoken. There are many existing trade agreement that could be adopted off the shelf with most non-EU countries. We could even simply replicate the EU’s trade agreements with each of them and pretty much carry on on the same terms as before. Same with the EU, we could adopt any number of existing trade agreements, possibly as an interim meansure until something more bespoke was developed.
The EU and most non-UK EU businesses don’t want us to leave, and so they are trying everything to delay or stop that. But once we get past the point of no return, the negotiating position will have to change because then we are talking about real trade between real businesses in an already difficult economic environment. Common sense will prevail. All in IMHO of course.
Now back to the tits!
