THE IMPOSSIBLE EU RED LINE

THE IMPOSSIBLE EU RED LINE

Some 2 years ago, the EU made perfectly clear what their key red line was in the Brexit negotiations that was to follow the UK Referendum.
Their red line was this.....” There could be no tampering or modification of the rules of the Single Market and The Customs Union.”
The UK response to this has been that “ We will negotiate a deal with the EU even though we will not be a member of the Single Market or the Customs Union. “
Now, 2 years later, the UK are still trying to do a special deal.
My view is that the two philosophies cannot agree and never will agree.

The EU negotiators are so stupid. Why cannot they say...Yes, due to the circumstances experienced in the UK - overloaded NHS, Schools, Welfare system, Communications - we will agree Free Movement but subject to a cap and Visa Policy of the UK Government. In other words..,REALISM.
No sane person wants a no deal Brexit.

So far, I have seen the UK make concession after concession but rigity from the EU.
The EU cannot get out of the hole of No deal without Freedom of Movement. This is a crazy impasse.
I am really concerned that there will be no deal with the EU.
Everyone will lose if this happens. I predict in the UK and EU the following Civil unrest.....

Strikes
Street Protests
Violence on the Southern / Northern Irish Border.
Southern Ireland protests leading to Southern Ireland having a new Referendum where the people will vote to Leave the EU.
Chaos with UK / EU border checks for trade
New elections in the UK and the EU.
Maybe the decline of the EU in its present form

Who wants this ?

When the British people voted to join the EEC in the 70s they did not expect to be trapped in a new Federal EU.
Our Government is guilty of signing Treaty after Treaty to do this. This was disgraceful.

The British People are not rebels. We want peace, good relations, mutual beneficial relations, respect, free travel,
Happiness for all the people in Europe.
We do not want to become economic enemies. We do not want strife. We want prosperity for all Europeans. We are Europeans.
We must not allow discord between the UK and Europe because a bunch of Politicians will not see the benefits of compromise.
Let me say it again...Free Movement YES But subject to UK Immigration Policy which is and will be GENEROUS to EU citizens and Third World citizens.
For heavens sake....Get REAL.

Otherwise, the future looks bleak.
