French President Emmanuel Macron told Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Thursday that there was not enough time to wholly rewrite Britain’s Brexit divorce deal before an Oct. 31 deadline.

I sure have. I tend to just ignore. He is Polish I believe - oF course they have done very well out of the EU.
Why is that liberal troll allowed on this website anyway?
I don’t come here to debate EU ass kissers. They can all go to hell along with any other socialist piece of crap.
This is my one and only escape from them!
Hard Brexit.
Then...
1. Put troops on the Irish border.
2. Build a Trump style wall.
3. Sign humongous, generous trade treaty with USA.
Later:
USA/UK offers the Irish Republic a similar deal if they too leave the EU. The wall can come down then. The Brits can sell it to Mexico for its Southern border with Guatemala.
You post like a Nazi.
The Germans will bail themselves out of financial difficulty and they are the only ones who can do it.
Regarding a buy cott, what British products are you going to buy?
Can you name some British made products besides whisky and shortbread?
That’s because since the eighties it is primarily a services economy.
Regarding the potential us UK trade deal. First discussion needs to start, then special interest groups like British farmers will want exemptions, finally it needs to pass Congress and parliament.
This will take time.
Lastly, even if there is a super duper deal, it won’t suck out from the continent due to the differences in the economies as I said in my post above
Regarding no border and no controls. You fo realise that Johnson’s cabinet last week proposed the border in the event of no deal.
If option 2 happens that will mean all eu goods get into the UK with 0 tariffs.
All non EU countries will sue the UK at the wto for similar no tariff access.
The hard border controls violate the good Friday agreement.
Commercial border controls are grey but are a potential solution.
Long term, I think your option 3 makes the most sense
Then in that case little effect to consumers
Putting troops on the Irish border and a wall violates the solemn promise the UK made in the good Friday agreement to not do that.
The socialism in the UK is sky high as well.
More than even in Sweden, you have more social workers per capita.
Are you willing to end the NHS and to gi against the Tories who legalised gay marriage and abortion?
Certainly not dentistry.

On top of that the NAFTA sucking sound is going to pull goods through the UK moving many current continent jobs there to get to the US market untarrifed. Assembly will occur in the UK.
Again... Option 2. It is a trojan horse for the EU. Gift wrap the damn thing for them. It is the tremendous sucking sound on the continent of jobs going to the UK.
Things change.
We once told the Souix and the Cheyenne that the Black Hills would remain there’s as long as the grass was green and the rivers ran.
Option 2 doesn’t harm the EU. The harm is to the UK if they go with that, due to the flood of goods and the need to withdraw tariffs on imports from all countries
Yes, the services import can be upped, it would tick off Wall street though.
Regarding products, those also depend on the entire Western European supply chain but you are right they can and most likely will be increased
You assume I talk about the EU needing to offer the UK something when my quip was about Merkel self destructing Germany. In that sense the question is what does the EU wants from the UK if it is so sanguine against Brexit...
The UK is divorcing a rich girl who has however a standard of living so high she wont stay rich very long and will keep demanding this standard lives on the expense of the UK...
Maybe the UK needs to burn its peat fields like Brazil does , giving the finger to the global warming colonists, and then Macron will stop all trade deals, automatic Brexit solution to Good Friday agreements....
The point is that for all of the years Fake Britain has been on the air Britain has been a member of the EU. I don't see how getting out of the EU will make things any worse than they already are. Being in the EU certainly didn't help keep the flood of fakes down.
