The ports will be clogged up with lorries. The shelves at Tesco will be empty. Doctors will be rationing antibiotics, and the army will be called out to deliver food. As we approach the deadline for our departure from the European Union, as the Prime Minister returns empty handed yet again from yet another catastrophic round of negotiations in Brussels, and as the cliff-edge gets closer and closer, the conventional wisdom is that the pressure on Britain to agree to something anything! becomes more and more intense.
And yet, as so often in the through-the-looking glass world of Brexit, that conventional wisdom is a bit off target. And not just by a little as it happens, but by 180 degrees. In fact, the closer we get to March 29 next year without securing a deal, the less of a problem it becomes. By the middle of February, it may hardly matter at all. Why? Because British businesses will have made their preparations, and, just as crucially, European ones wont have. The net result? The pressure on us will evaporate.

ahh...should be not a big deal for Britain but...
Same myth as global warming.
I really hope the Brits succeed in throwing of the globalists rulers, but it’s an iffy thing; 50-50 at best.
Global warming is NOT a myth. How do you think last ice age ended?
But MAN MADE global warming is boastful and a myth. Man is just a speck on earth, and earth is just a speck compared to Sun which is more than a million times bigger and the real power behind warming and cooling because it has cycles too.
Nigel Farage tweeted tonight that they may be cooking up a second referendum scam based on what the “Mail On Sunday” newspaper is publishing.
Love the graphics!
welcome to the Hotel EU.
you can quit as many times as you want.
but you can never leave
Hard Brexit for sure! Don’t go wobbly! But this mess is for the Brits to resolve........
Or not. Meaning let the March 29th date slide by and the next day you’re out of the German dominated EU.
If PM May were not such a lame turkey she could have had a nice trade deal with the USA pending.
The UK should have gone with a hard exit already.
