In the event of "no deal " , would the UK have to trade under WTO terms for ever do you think ?
Very unlikely, it all depends how long it takes to get a trade deal with others, however starting on WTO terms puts you on the back foot from day one and does not leave you in a very strong negotiating position.

It’s definitely a BRINO. Dover isn’t ready because Rishimoneygrowsontrees didn’t send any to Dover Port Authority.
Secondly not content with one internal wall in the Irish Sea, Boris and Co, are putting Kent behind another wall. You will need a special passport to enter.

And this too...
we pull out of the EU shared-cost pooled-resources #GPS satellite system (#Galileo ) Then we wave some flags

and say we’ll develop our own separate system. Then we find out how expensive that is, and beg the EU to let us re-join Galileo


Because? Sovereignty.
you forgot the part about Buying (bailing out) a satellite firm so you could use their satellites only to find out after spending £500 million they were the wrong type of satellites

The UK should build its own satellite system, it would be “world beating “

Didn't Uncle Sam (Britain’s bestie), stick it‘s oar in and basically tell Boris that developing a British independent GPS system was not a good idea. That UK should invest in / bail out the British head quartered company which conveniently had its manufacturing plant and jobs in California! Not wanting to upset best pals Britain duly obliged.....
Apparently that’s what new improved soverignty brings you!! 😱

in all serious i do believe that the government should build it. NOT the satellite bit. BUT a terrestrial positioning system.
in the very near future robots will be using sub 5cm accuracy in everyday tasks around homes and workplaces. it will be so integrated to our lives that if it got turned off Chaos would rule. so using system controlled by foreign governments is just leaving us open to Problems and trouble

Or we could have just kept the part share in the EU one, rather than throwing it away. But this is just some of the reality that was warned before and dismissed as “Project Fear” a couple of years ago

I suppose Borris expects all the trucks to do a u turn like he does when thing are not going his way.

But @Danllan will be along AFTER Brino, with a dose of delirium and a half ‘assed convoluted claim, that Brino is indeed what the forefathers of Brexit had in mind, when they plotted the great emancipation. Nobody I know does half ‘assin, like our @Danllan. You gotta give it up to him!
And you still haven't posted anything actually real; it's all no more than your hopes.

You told us there would be no vote to leave the EU, yet there was. You told us the UK would never vote to leave the EU, yet it did. You told us that Article 50 would never be triggered, yet it was. You told us that Theresa May's 'deal' couldn't be done away with, yet it was. You told us Boris wouldn't become PM, yet he did. You told us that he wouldn't win a big majority, yet he did.


Now you're telling us, yet again, that X, Y or Z will happen... I rather hope that you keep up your remarkable record in these things, and I rather think you will. :)

He'd probably make a pretty good superforecaster for Dom Cummings office.

Failing Grayling (just given a £100,000 p.a. job for 7 hours a week 'advising a ports operator'. His previous success (" I DID see ships") with Seaborne who received the 13.8 million contract to handle supplies of medicines etc. - has just declared bankruptcy with debts of 2 million. What a star! Makes you proud.

Meanwhile it’s not a case of bailing out the banks, but rather a case of the banks bailing out! Well JRM did lead the way, in pulling investment funds out of UK, before the inevitable Brexit damage, so I guess it’s ok for others to follow. Fudge business, eh!!
