i am not "missing" these details about a no-deal scenario, they are simply entirely irrelevant (which is the direct opposite of "key point" btw) to the point i was making, since EU countries don't negotiate individual agreements. i replied to someone who fantasised about the outcome of a potential no-deal brexit and specifically addressed two sides, the EU as a whole, and the UK:



we both know that's complete bs and wishful thinking, backed up by no logic, or any economic mechanism known to man - but i understand your urge to frame the whole issue in a more positive light...

Not at all dear, those urges are a fabrication. The EU’s trade with the UK is heavily concentrated among 6 or 7 which is relevant to the EU’s decision making, despite it still being preferable to the UK’s position.

How many times are you gonna quote the same post? Not that I care, just curious.

if your reading comprehension was above kindergarten level, you'd realise it was part of my reply to dorothy. you have long bailed out of this after your ignorance was exposed, so feel free to stay uninvolved, please. the only thing you're contributing is unintentional humour anyway...



again, we could certainly argue about that and go into detail about some of the points you made (which are largely fair btw, and certainly relevant in other contexts), but for the point i was making they are irrelevant.
fact is that it's borderline insane to predict that the EU as a whole would hurt more than the UK as a whole from a no-deal brexit - is that clear enough?

Why are you so angry all the time? Can't you just have a point of view, and leave the anger at home?





/e I'm still trying to figure out why if I'm incorrect in my assumption that brexit is great for the UK, but not so great for the EU... you, in Germany are so riled up about brexit.
I mean, why is the whole EU so riled up about brexit, if they are gonna be hurting, if it happens.

As you know, I wasn't disputing that.

Brexit:


1/
Government to ask Queen to suspend Parliament

2/
Labor opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn said he would do everything possible to prevent a Brexit without an agreement. Such an eventuality, he said, would put the UK at the mercy of President Donald Trump and US companies. The opposition parties announced on Tuesday a cooperation agreement to prevent a "no deal" after talks between Jeremy Corbyn, the Scottish National Party (SNP), the Liberal Democrats, the Green Party and the Independent group for change.

So Meghan or Kate Middleton ? I prefer Kate.

Unbelievable. He can’t really think he’s going to get away with this. It’s the UK, not some despot regime. Hell is gonna break loose now

Maybe he's trying to force the Hard Brexit process to obtain "emergency" concessions from Europe. Basically all this is a bluff.
