B-Day?... more like Toilet.

So, the shit has hit the pan and today has revealed a number of resignations from the DexEU office, most notibly David Davis.  UPDATE: Boris Johnson has gone, so maybe he's the most noteworthy resignation now.

It appears that I was right: the Brexit that May came up (sorry, I meant ambushed her cabinet) with on Friday is not the Brexit her MPs were thinking about and neither was it the one that the puiblic voted for.

This was an entirely shiny new BRINO Brexit that tied the UKs laws to the EU for ever and a day, without any representation. Brilliant, the exact thing I voted leave to put an end to. In fact, the rumour is that it would have tied any country supplying us to EU laws too, which puts the block on us negotiating free and fair trade around the world.

Of course her staffers tried to get tough and force a show of unity by thereatening to remove car rides home for the rebels. So how long would that aparrent loyalty last? Yep, just as long as it took for the cars to get the rebels home and for them to sit down and draft a resignation letter.

The proposal, despite the fluffy good words that Theresa May and her staffers used to describe it, is Brexit in Name Only. 85% of the country has to follow rules and regulations that only 15% of the economy requires to trade with Europe. Not only that we have even less representation politically in Europe.

It could quite easily have been settled by putting that 15% into an offshore status, where they comply with the rules of the EU and pay to have that compliance verified on a regular basis. They get to trade under EU rules and are separated from trading directly with the reat of the UK and the world without tariffs. Companies can then chose to join the EU bubble or trade outside it, but they and they alone chose to do that and fund the compliance verification system. The taxpayer does not pick up the bill.

The same would go for companies in Northern Ireland that wanted to trade with the South.

But no, Theresa may ambushed her cabinet members first stating for the past 2 years that her Brexit is something entirely different than the Brexit she revealed on Friday.

Now it's up to the Tories to sort the mess out. Either Theresa May moves back from BRINO or.... what exactly? Is there time to come up with an alternative proposal, nor is there time for a leadership change .

I'm almost thinking that this is deliberate: that we end up with a WTO solution and the elite engineer a catastrophic failure of the UK economy to teach us commoners a lesson. Rather than take advantage of more freedom to trade with the rest of the world. After all those cushy jobs in the EU and those easily-hidden backhanders in Brussels would be lost to the elite. They would ruin the country to get them back.
