The world needs to start panicking about Brexit

... The UK stands just two months away from a no-deal Brexit that will crash the world's economy. As it stands, no plan to prevent it commands a majority of its own MPs -- let alone the support of MPs and European negotiating partners. And no one is panicking. Perhaps they should be.

The UK is almost a century removed from being able to crash the world’s economy.

More likely that they can crash the economy of Pakistan.

Among other things, it’s a customs union. A hard Brexit means that the U.K. will be subject to tariffs that EU nations are not subject to.

Cool! Can’t wait to short the British pound and the Euro like I did before the Brexit vote. I got out right as the vote was read and it (/6B-GBP) rebounded like crazy. If this happens I won’t have to worry about that and I can short the US markets too. I’ll go long US treasuries and gold. It will be a great time. All aboard!

The main thing to consider here is that the UK contribution amounts to a full 10% of the EU take....if they are “allowed” to leave,then that 10% will have to be made up from the remaining entities.I think that if the UK leaves and does ok,others will follow..Italy,Spain etc.....There is way too much at stake to simply let a state secede.......going to be a real popcorn event.

"CNN is afraid no deal Brexit will happen."

Maybe their fear is that Brexit will happen without a crash. That would reveal the con and other countries would leave.

“The sky is falling” says Chicken Little.

Britain should no-deal exit from the EU, then negotiate as a sovereign country. No doubt EU countries would be clamoring for fair deals.

Britain is still the 5th biggest economy in the world.

OK, then the UK raises their tariffs. Simple. Easy peasy.

--- A 'No Deal' Brexit is Best for Britain and the United States ---

A “no deal” scenario would place Britain completely outside the EU’s Customs Union and Single Market, with no transition period. Britain would trade with the EU under World Trade Organization rules. Meanwhile, it would be free to fully control its borders and negotiate and sign free trade agreements with nations across the world.

A “no deal” Brexit is the best path forward to ensure that Britain is a truly free sovereign nation, able to shape its own destiny on the world stage. It is also a plus for the United States.

Damn. Project Fear II must not be going well. Now instead of just crashing Britain’s economy its going to crash the whole world’s economy. Oh wait! Let me guess. The only “solution” to this “crisis” is to hold another vote and another and another and another if necessary until the British people vote the way the Yurps want them to. At that point they’ll never be allowed to vote on it again.

In other words, the exact same plan the Yurps have used several times before. Eff that.
