Since 2016, the promise made for the UK was one of ambition, prosperity and a new age due to Brexit but due to the infighting and clearly vested interests playing games in this, this becoming a complete debacle now and embarrassment on world stage and a reality check is needed.
The public tones of departing as friends and the cordial deal is a complete fallacy. The vested interests games are being played on both sides. The EU facade is quite evident, they do not want a deal. The EU model is flawed and waning and with Italy and Poland rumbling with discord due to the EU controls, they want Brexit to ultimately fail to put abject feat into anyone else leaving. Its quite clear. If the UK gets a good deal or makes a success of one, what will stop Italy etc following suit and the breakup of the EU. That's the real game here and what is the real issue behind this apparent hang up on the backstop and the clear subtifuge.
You hear the fact that both sides will suffer in the event of no deal, that is common sense and is clearly evident but the vested interests need to get an injection of common sense and find a solution that suits everyone otherwise there will be bitterness that will last for generations. We are all interconnected now due to capitalism, regardless of free movement or trade deals,clear and straight compromise is the name of the game to protect people on both sides.
Even if no deal becomes a reality, I don't think we should be afraid, It could be the making of UK. We will change, as we always have done to become more innovative, dynamic and more competitive globally. We did in the past and changed to adapt to the modern realities and crisis-es. The businesses that treat us with contempt or use mass exodus due to this will in essence be publicly shaming themselves as on the flip side if they make a negative point of moving their business to the EU and a lot of their consumer base is in the UK, the consumer base do not forget the reality of the bigger picture and may ultimately boycott their products completely which in effect will lower their profits and at the end of the day will there be any positive outcome of that?. Also the EU relies on us for tourism in the Mediterranean states, again UK citizens don't forget!. I think this is being missed here.
I have tried to give an opinion here in conclusion that the vested interests need to grow up, have a dose of common sense and see the bigger picture. The decision has been made to leave by the people, we have to acknowledge that. To echo a well known phrase as a Japanese Admiral dictated at Pearl Harbour, "I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve" . The EU needs to heed this. In public rhetoric it wants to have an amicable divorce but to reflect reality it is coming across as anything but.
