Clean not hard.

Not seen such Bravery!
Hard and Soft are too binary.
Best Brexit, Brilliantly Negotiated Brexit are better.

Despite the democratically arrived-at will of the people, hard to escape the lingering feeling that BREXIT will never happen.

I have the same suspicion. Too many wealthy vested interests in the status quo.

If we do get hard brexit it is inevitable that those areas who voted brexit will be hit the hardest (see Nissan at Sunderland).
This.
"we know we asked you, but you clearly didn't understand the question as you gave us the wrong answer. It's ok though, we'll put that right for you. Oh - don't hold your breath waiting for us to ask you again; we're not sure we could stand you getting it wrong a second time. Thanks. Oh - vote for me in the GE please".
"BrExit means BrExit"
What is there in that to suggest it means something else other than BrExit?

Apart from the fact nobody actually knows what Brexit means, nothing at all.

Blimey, wonders will never cease, you are probably the least likely person on NSC that I had down to present themselves as an economist. Tell us more please
BrExit pretty clearly means Britain leaving the European Union. That is what was on the ballot paper. That is what was voted for by the majority. That is what we will do. It doesn't seem an overly complicated concept.
Yes, this and the people who weren't eligible to vote at the time but would be by the time it happens.

You can check out anytime you like but you can never leave?
Best tell that to the government then cos they haven't got a ****ing clue what it actually means!
Yep, that's clearly what Brexit means. I still have major doubts that it will actually happen though... here's how it could pan out, imo, 2-4 months between each line
"We know you voted for Brexit. We're going to deliver it"
"There have to be some red lines in our leaving position. For example, we have to have free, unfettered access to the common market"
"We're negotiating hard to get our terms accepted by our partners"
"We're still negotiating and making significant progress"
"Still negotiating, think there's sign of a break through"
"Success!! Best of both worlds!!. We know that the main thing you were voting against was lack of control over our borders. We've managed to negotiate something that 'gives us back control', plus, and here's the good bit, if we stay in, we get to keep all the good bits too. See? Best of both worlds. We're staying in"
"Second referendum? No, we have a parliamentary democracy - no need".
Utter nonsese. A bit like 'prepare for a General Election in 2017'.
It's what happens and what changes and what we keep and what we don't and everything else after we've left, that even the people in power can't seem to agree on that makes me suspect it might be a tad complicated.
I don't think anyone is saying it won't be complicated. But I am sure it will happen.
