Brexit should be about opportunity and hope
From Tyler Durden excelent site, Zero HedgeThe much anticipated resignation letter penned by the former UK Foreign Minister Boris Johnson has been released, and in as expected, he does not mince his words in unleashing a brutal attack on Thersa May, warning that "we have postponed crucial decisions — including the preparations for no deal, as I argued in my letter to you of last November — with the result that we appear to be heading for a semi-Brexit, with large parts of the economy still locked in the EU system, but with no UK control over that system."
He then adds that while "Brexit should be about opportunity and hope" and "a chance to do things differently, to be more nimble and dynamic, and to maximise the particular advantages of the UK as an open, outward-looking global economy", he warns that the "dream is dying, suffocated by needless self-doubt."
He then compares May's proposal to a submission even before it has been received by the EU, noting that "what is even more disturbing is that this is our opening bid. This is already how we see the end state for the UK — before the other side has made its counter-offer. It is as though we are sending our vanguard into battle with the white flags fluttering above them."
And his punchline: the UK is headed for the status of a colony:
In that respect we are truly headed for the status of colony — and many will struggle to see the economic or political advantages of that particular arrangement
I have to agree with Boris Johnson, why exit and keep the same rules as the European Union. UK should exit and be different, nibble, low taxes easy to do business etc.... to exit and keep most rules in order to have access to the free trade zone it could look as a good idea but an even better one is to exit and be better. Better rules, better laws, lower tax etc.... The pound was going down but it's up , the FTSE was going down but after all is up.....
Let UK be UK with their crazy rules
