British PM Theresa May made a speech in Florence asking for what is practically a moratorium on Brexit and letting things stand as they are until 2021.
"Theresa May proposed pausing a full Brexit until 2021 by asking EU countries to agree to a two-year transition period during which the UK would continue to enjoy unfettered access to the single market."
*insisted the UK was “unconditionally committed to maintaining Europe’s security” and offered a new treaty on maintaining law enforcement and criminal justice cooperation
*indicated that the UK could make extra financial contributions on top of continuing to pay into the EU budget until 2020. She said Britain would “cover our fair share of the costs” to participate in “specific policies and programs ... such as science, education and culture – and mutual security.”
*reiterated that the UK will not accept “physical infrastructure at the border” between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, but gave no details that could help break the stalemate in talks in this area.
*promised to enshrine the rights of EU citizens in the Brexit treaty and allow British courts to take the rulings of the European Court of Justice into account when judging disputed cases
Isn't this playing with people? Ok, I think Brexit is a really stupid idea, but that is just my opinion, in any case the people of the UK were given the opportunity to decide for themselves and Brexit won, so why the hell doesn't the British government get on with it? If you get screwed, well you voted for it, if it turns out your decision was the right one, well also it was your decision.
But I see this asking for more time, as a way of eventually not Brexiting, which would be the sane thing to do apparently as all UK businesses are in an uproar over this, Northern Ireland has a big problem, Scotland doesn't want to get out and even in places were Brexit got the most votes a lot of people are re thinking this thing, so a couple of more years to think this over would be good.
On the other hand I think the damage is done, all the other EU members see Britain as a member who is only there for whatever it can get and then it always backs the US, let's face it if there apparently weren't very difficult economic challenges out of the EU the UK would have been out of the EU the day after the vote, but fear has the government postponing this.
Just get your shit together and leave, whatever the outcome, that's what you voted for wasn't it?
It's called a stitch up , it's just done at a pace that's acceptable to the elite

Brexit should proceed as the voters wished. This is true tyranny disobeying the viters wishes

Why do you think Brexit is a really stupid idea?
Demographically, joining the EU consists of self genocide.
Economically, it has both good and bad.
Militarily, the UK is further from Russia than rest of EU, and is a NATO member regardless.

Because you will lose access to the single market and suffer economically, which by the way is the main reason Brexit hasn't been carried out yet, fear of it's economic consequences.
And this is now not then when the British were able to have a corner on most markets so now it would be really on your own, not relying on the resources of countries waiting to be plundered.

You make it seem as if the EU will impose sanctions on the UK.
UK will still have trade with EU, and in addition will be able to protect its own industrial and agricultural interests.
These are from a mere economical perspective.
The self-genocidal of Shenagen pact perspective is more important.
The UK is now a Muslim colony.

And why do you think the UK government hasn't just gone ahead with Brexit, and in fact is now asking for more time? What percentage of your population is Muslim? I have no idea, I live in Honduras I have never seen a Muslim, except one guy who I saw the other day explaining some things about the Koran, I am not even sure if he was a Muslim or just talking. We do have a fair amount of Europeans though, they find it cheaper here.
By the way what sanctions? You'll just have to pay tariffs, and since you import much more from them these will hit you harder.

IDK why, it may be due to the same reasons that the EU's shadow government commits genocide against their own native population.
I have been asking why close to a decade.
The most common name for a new born in some EU countries is Muhammad.
No matter the percentage, it implies about the future percentage, the near future.
If those tariffs will be high enough, they will hurt the EU as well, since the UK will not be abandoned by the US and its other contacts.
Importing from China and Korea is the trend anyway, so fuck the EU.

No, it's not that easy, the major cost of a product is transportation, I've worked all my life in logistics.

Regardless of what the product is and its cost of production, right?
Or do you count insurance as part of the cost of transportation?

Most of what you would be buying is probably food and raw materials, why do you think bananas, pineapples, watermelons are so much more expensive in Europe than in the US?
