All will be well, the company in question will merely cut its dividend to shareholders, cut higher management jobs and pay and attract workers from the UK by paying higher wages and improving conditions to those doing the work at the sharp end...... simples ….. if only !

But you said that you would rather have what I outlined than 'no deal' here
I have simply outlined the major points of the solution that you want 'all day long'. I also pointed out that it has taken 7 YEARS to agree and still isn't totally implemented. So, to want that solution at this juncture could be described as a little 'fanciful', at best
You are just picking phrases without any concept of what they entail. I want a Canada model, I want a 'no deal' etc etc

We were asked a 'What's this Brexit all about then?' sort of question by some friends over from Perth in the summer. They were staying with a mutual friend who lives in our village. The mutual friend, an occasional Mail reader who just loves the Royal Family, pitched in first with a bit about Junker, plumbers with poor English and getting the country back. I simply asked them to imagine if the state government decided that it would be a terrific wheeze if Western Australians were faced with serious restrictions when wanting to work, live and study in, say, Sydney and that their free movement would be restricted to Perth and a smattering of communities all the way down to Albany and that Sydney people would be similarly restricted in the opposite direction.
They agreed that that seemed to be a terrible downside of Brexit. "But hold on," I said. "The Brexiteers think that that is an UPSIDE. Those restrictions are one of the things they are looking forward to, whatever the cost." They agreed that Brexit seemed pretty barmy to them.

Just can't accept it can you. I voted to leave. As did the majority of this nation. Can you grasp that? I await the next what do you want question.I'm beginning to think Ppf has a better grasp of what Brexit entails than you

You know the trade agreement Japan said we could join the other day? Well that took 10+ years to pan out and agree.

These things take fecking ages. Seven years is relatively quick.

The formation of the single market, the rules cementing freedom of movement, the transfer of more powers to the EU commission and The European parliament, more powers given to the ECJ to regulate, the introduction of the common transit system, the community customs code, the abolition of customs formalities at internal borders and the formation of The European Union itself all came after 1975 when we simply said we wish to remain in the European Community (the Common Market).
I see what you are saying that these policies had no business being implemented on us in the first place and piggy backed off that referendum and none should apply to us because they were not written on that ballot paper.
It would appear then we have overturned a great injustice imposed on the British people.

"You see, Brexit is about serious restrictions on movement for example like between Western Australia and New South Wales"
“Fair dinkum? Strewth mate that’s the work of drongos. You sure it isn’t like implementing controls between say other nations like between OZ and the Filos".
"No, its just like restricting movement between say Sussex and Devon".
“crikey, well that’s a terrible downside of Brexit mate, seems like a barmy idea if you are telling the truth”
“I know right, crazy isn’t it……cough”

Its not wrong to legitimately overturn a previous injustice.

The Ozzies I know think what we are doing is bonkers.
They had a referendum of their own back in 1999 on becoming a Republic. The vote required a "double majority", a majority vote and in a majority of States. Perhaps if we'd been more sensible and had a vote that required a majority across the UK and the nations we wouldn't be in the mess we are now
With only 52% in favour of Brexit and only 50% of nations wanting OUT we were always going to have a hugely divided nation. If we go through with Brexit its highly likely the UK will fracture in a one or two places

My analogy wasn't perfect but I'd hazard it was better than comparing New South Wales/WA to Sussex/Devon. The reference to a State Capital was a pointer - English counties don't have them. Australian states possess many of the characteristics of separate nations joined in political union. erecting artificial barriers around such entities is indeed barmy.

The last election manifesto of the Tories has them saying controls will be placed on our EU borders and freedom of movement will end and that they will secure a new partnership with the EU where we are no longer members of the single market or customs union. The prime minister has a legitimate mandate from the electorate to implement these policies whilst negotiating our withdrawal from the EU.

Right, so manifestos are no longer valid either according to you.
You really are nothing more than a triggered snowflake stamping your feet about everything because people are not listening to you and you are not getting your way.
Pathetic,grow up a bit.
