A MANAGED NO DEAL

The financial expert Ruth Lee believes we should go for a managed No Deal.  I think this is an excellent way out of the present impasse.  We leave the EU on March 29th and then any negotiation can begin.  We will be completely free to choose the way forward, cherry-picking as we go.  The EU countries will be desperate to continue trade.

COME MARCH 29TH WE COULD BE FREE

AND DO WHATEVER WE WANTED

WHY DO THE POLITICIANS WINGE ABOUT BUSINESS?

The MPs winge about the need to support business (for fear of losing their seat).  But they are not really concerned about British business.  Their concerns are about international business. They say that goods should arrive just-in-time for us to put the pieces together, and never mind about the environment.  Does it occur to the politicians that we could manufacture complete items (we used to) avoiding the transport of goods across continents, reducing pollution and traffic congestion at the ports, and boosting jobs in design and manufacture in Britain?    

WHY IS CORBYN SO CAGEY ABOUT ANOTHER REFERENDUM?

Does Corbyn realise that very many of his labour voters want to get out of the EU?  Of course he does.  They would prefer NO DEAL to one that kept us tied to the EU.  There are many, probably most of all voters at the time, who understood that leaving the EU meant there would be no need for a DEAL.  Dealing just didn't feature.

NO DEAL - THE BEST

Come March the 29th, NO DEAL would be the best result for the British people.  We need to get quickly into gear without the delay of what would be an indeterminate and lengthy transition period.  The EU is going to publish their view of  NO DEAL later this month, no doubt to attempt to frighten us.

MAY AND THE CABINET ARE WET REMAINERS

THE BACKSTOP - IRRELEVANT TO BREXIT

We never heard of the backstop when we voted in the Referendum.  Our minds were focussed on one thing - getting out of the EU, an extra layer of bureaucratic government that imposed intolerable burdens on us.

An expert said on the Business programme this morning, "we need to make more".  This has been my view all along, a view hardly expressed by any government in the recent past.  Neither the Government nor opposition have said what they are going to do for our industry.  They prefer to argue, and wallow in irrelevances, and not see the opportunities that Brexit gives. We must get our manufacturing out of the doldrums, representing only 25% of our economy.   

A GENERAL ELECTION LOOMS - ARE YOU READY?

Tory remainer Dominic Grieve has thrown a spanner in the works.  The only way out for the Tories is a General Election with a PRO LEAVE  leader.
