#1 Remember the celebration when Poland, Hungry, Czechoslovakia, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania declared their independence from Moscow? Brussels is just Moscow with better suits.

#2 Brindependence day cannot come soon enough. Escaping the EUSSR will be awesome for the UK economy. Bad for the looting MPs though...

#3 Johnson’s opponents say leaving the EU without a deal to keep most of its trading arrangements in place would plunge Britannia into economic chaos.

Complete hogwash, if you ask me. I find it difficult to believe that not having to pay the thieves in Brussels millions of $ (ok, pound sterling) every week will somehow be a bad thing for the British economy. It's just another thug scare tactic that's far too common with the press.

#4 Remember there's always the WTO deal.

Zero external tariffs yet high internal tariffs(taxes) just fund the globalists and export jobs. Lowers taxes and raise tariffs.

#5 leaving the EU without a deal to keep most of its trading arrangements in place would plunge Britannia into economic chaos.

Oh noes! Permanent and total economic chaos until the heat death of the universe!!

I'm guessing there was a point in time where said trading arrangements didn't exist. Would it possibly be possible that people of good will could sit down together and work something out? It's not like the demand and supply of stuff is going away.

#6 After a meeting with EU Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier in Brussels, Ireland’s Coveney said negotiations had to be on the basis of a "serious proposal" from the British on how they would replace the backstop.

This "serious proposal" would leave Great Britain in the same status as San Marino. Monaco or Andorra? The EU would control England's borders and force England to follow EU Customs Authority, pay for the "privilege" and like it. Does this also mean that the "Open Borders" Treaty of Schingen would be enforced with any British opt-out be removed?
