That’s certainly true. No hard Brexit will occur. But their issue is somewhat similar to ours - a border dispute.

The left doesn’t want to return to an actual border between Ireland and Northern Ireland now that it’s become an open border under the EU. The right doesn’t like the suggested “backstop” which would bind the UK to a customs treaty they can’t exit from without EU approval. That’s sort of like giving Trump the money for the wall but making it impossible for it to actually be built without the approval of Nancy Pelosi.

The obvious solution is to return to an actual border and let the EU shove their backstop up their backsides.

It’s pretty funny. Couldn’t happen to a bigger bunch of arrogant idiots than the Brits. They always love laughing at other countries’ problems. Who are the WOGS now?

England, like most of Europe is dead. Brexit was the last hope but the morons put a remainer in charge of it. So May sabotaged it to the point it is no longer accurate to even call it Brexit.
