I am worried for the UK. I am worried that EU globalists will try to make an example of the UK and will go out of their way to make it difficult. They isolate the UK.

I don't anything about UKs economy and how integrated it is with the EU. However, it probably is extensive.

That’s why there’s a transition period to create a soft landing. Whether there’s an agreement or not on the final arrangements by the end of next year, Brexit is a done deal.

Any integration of the UK economy with the EU cuts both ways. Granted, it would hurt the UK more, but the EU still would be hurting itself at the same time.

There's also the issue of what the U.S. does. It is entirely possible the U.S. could put it's thumb on the scales by cutting a more favorable deal with the UK than with the EU, and that really would hurt because the UK and U.S. economies together are larger than the EU's.

The EU has already made it difficult by trying to negotiate what the exit terms look like - including the demand for continued financial support.

They’ve succeeded in exposing the nature of the EU - it’s more of a cartel, trying to centrally plan everything, than anything that resembles the “United States of Europe”.

There are fishing towns in the UK that have been decimated by EU regulations - dictating whom can fish what waters and how much. It’s not just because of immigration.

The “remainers” argument is that the UK will go into a depression if they leave, although this already hangs over the country and the economy is showing no signs of impending doom.

...I’d imagine PDJT would be eager to do a US/UK trade deal the second they’re free.
