Alright, then. what legal obligations still apply to the United Kingdom if we leave the European Union with no agreement?
Keeping an open border in Ireland. Which means Northern Ireland at least staying in the customs union.
And because of the DUP and out of fear of the SNP, it means the rest of the country also staying in the customs union along with Northern Ireland.
So customs union is actually the minimum whether you like it or not. You can't leave the customs union, and if you try you will just end up back in it anyway.
You can try it out if you like, it won't hurt. Leave with no deal and see where you end up

This week Theresa May is going back to Europe trying to

1. Re-open the withdrawal agreement
2. Put a time limit to the backstop
3. A unilateral exit from the backstop
4. Replace the backstop with a full trade agreement
So far Europe has said no to all four proposals, and many times in all the languages of the European Union.

The question is, if no stays no by the end of this week, what happens then?
Alright, let's us try and answer what happens. Europe won't change the withdrawal agreement. Monday, Tuesday go by. Wednesday arrives. Still nothing.

This is the day Theresa May has got a choice to make.

I told you two years ago what the Tories were up to, but nobody pays any fuckin attention. I don't mean to me, i mean to what's happening in front of you
I told you two years ago exactly what their intentions were. Nobody told me, I just worked it out.
I said, the Tories are trying to misuse Article 50 to get themselves a treaty renegotiation.
That was the news two years ago. Theresa May was trying to misuse Article 50 to get a new treaty.
Not one journalist in this country figured that out or bothered reporting it. Nobody noticed what she was doing - except me. Nobody interrogated her intentions - except me.

No deal means Theresa May's resignation.
Because it's all just gob. Parliamentary gob, media gob. Nobody is going to leave the European Union like that. Only the people who will never be prime minister say that
The only people who still think they want to leave Europe are the people with no foresight. If you did that you would plunge into a crisis that you couldn't solve.
And it's not just money. The Irish border does actually need dealing with.
And you've just left the European Union, which means you've just produced a border somewhere, and all you can do now is choose where to put it.
Ireland or the Irish Sea, and in either case the government collapses.

Steris PLC, a company with $2.6 billion in annual revenue, is planning to redomicile from the UK to Ireland due to Brexit. What that means is that, as an Irish company, the Irish tax authorities will collect its taxes going forward and not HMRC.
seekingalpha.com/filing/4225572
"Given the protracted uncertainty surrounding the outcome of negotiations between the United Kingdom and the European Union regarding the terms of the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union (“Brexit”), STERIS has evaluated many alternatives."
"...the Board concluded that redomiciling to Ireland is the best path forward for STERIS to preserve certain financial benefits it currently enjoys as a company domiciled in a EU member country, including preserving the benefits of certain treaty arrangements."

A long-ish thread (sorry) for those interested in my piece about Brexit-induced anxiety (politico.eu/article/brexit…).
From feedback — some good, some, er, not so good — it seems quite a few are.
Anyway, it turns out there are peer-reviewed academic articles on this very subject...
One article has been written by Warwick University’s Christopher Browning in the journal European Security on the subject of “how the Brexit Referendum on the UK's membership of the EU has been a source of destabilisation, dread and ontological anxiety”: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
The article concludes that the referendum result has been “a cause of considerable anxiety and ontological insecurity for Remain supporters."

It says there are several "mechanisms" through which individuals typically seek to restore their lost sense of security in such circs 👇

THREAD (In Progress)

Over the years a lot has been said about the UK’s relationship with Europe/EEC/EU. So much of it has been out of earshot of the electorate. Here is just some of what has been said /1

#ThePoliticiansKnewAllAlong
Our involvement with Europe has introduced into our politics a culture of deceit which is quite new in our history - Christopher Booker 2001 /2
A day will come when we shall see the United States of America and the United States of Europe face to face, reaching out for each other across the seas - Victor Hugo 1849 /3

1) From the devil's mouth himself.....
2) In case you don't have facebook, I have pasted his full statement here:

There are few issues more important to the security of the United States than the potential spread of nuclear weapons, or the potential for even more destructive war in the Middle East.
3) That’s why the United States negotiated the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) in the first place.

The reality is clear. The JCPOA is working – that is a view shared by our European allies, independent experts, and the current U.S. Secretary of Defense.
