Really? Frankly I think that is simplistic. For what it's worth, we should go for a hard hard Brexit. The consequences?
We arrive at that magic day with no agreement. Billions of pounds/euros worth of product pile up on each side of the Channel. Nothing moving? Thousands of UK and EU companies going bankrupt? Total meltdown of the economies of the EU member nations and that of Great Britain? No money in the EU to pay the salaries of the gravy train mobsters?
It just won't happen.
Is it worth the risk? Too damned right it is. We have had our backs up against the wall before. Been threatened; suddenly seemed to have no friends, no hope.
But we prevailed and came through some very dark times.
Airbus and BMW making veiled blackmail threats. If they want to go, let them. GB used to make great cars and great aircraft. We still can.
Where's the money coming from you say? Think back to 1939. Amazing how the money can be found when we are threatened. Amazing how our stalwart farmers pulled hard to feed the nation in those troubled days. Done it once, we can do it again.
Hard Brexit - it's time to clean up and kick out all the deadwood. The mobsters in business suits, the overpaid (you know who they are!), the swindlers and bone idle. Time to put a backbone into our flabby nation. Time to take care of the poor, the sick and the homeless. Time to reward decent, hardworking and honest citizens.
Thankfully the Russians beat the Germans for us so we managed to survive that time.
I'm not sure the Russians will be so willing to help out this time.
