    I don't get this thing about a 'hard' and 'soft' Brexit. Prior to the vote last year, numerous Brexiteers are on record as saying a vote to leave would mean leaving the Single Market. It was very clear that if we want control of our borders and the ability to restrict movement of people then the EU will not allow us access to the Single Market. We are the outcasts as we've opted to leave the club so why on earth will the EU allow us access to the single market which will only entice other dissatisfied countries to do the same?

    According to former Chancellor Nigel Lawson, the Single Market is not a big deal as weighted trade tarifs average 3% which does not stop the US, Canada and many countries outside the EU trading with Europe. So, Lawson's point was there is only one Brexit where we are not in the Single Market but where we control our borders, live by our own self-imposed laws and we carry on trading.

    I'm disallusioned with it all tbh. May has displayed the same arrogance as Cameron is assuming that the public will give her what she wanted in a referendum. We MIGHT get Brexit IMO but I think there will be another election first and the end (Brexit) result will be a grossly watered down affair by the liberal elite and not at all what many of us thought we voted for. Sadly, history shows that in cases where the population has voted against Europe such as the Irish with The Lisbon Treaty, the result gets overidden by the elite who ask them to vote again until they get the result they want.

    I think prior to Brexit though, we are in the midst of one almighty f8ck up by our politicians on all sides and at the moment I can only see uncertainty ahead due to so many low calibre career politicians making poor decisions and judgments that have landed us in this mess.
