As far as I can tell you can swap #FiftyYearsFromNow for 500 and #brexit still doesn't make sense. And you don't need projections, maths, economics.
Just open-mindedness and willingness to look at the evidence. And not being in denial. eh #BritishIndependence?
Short thread #FBPE

Economically the case for Brexit is "because trade deals" (unclear).
Unfortunately, there are no new trade deals as there are no new Planet Earths. We already have deals that amount to 80% of our Global trade either through the EU, or based on the EU. I'll handle disputes at end.

If it's not more trade deals it must be better deals?
Well 2 years ago maybe you could have made that fly, but now we have Canada. If we hadn't done No Deal it might have been a win.
But No Deal makes us desperate, and like we would in reverse, they're waiting for surrender

So maybe it's deals without EU dependency.
Wince, we now have S.Korea who wouldn't sign unless we agreed EU terms. No deal is for them, Canadians and EVERYONE ELSE GLOBALLY a sh1t negotiation strategy - it is the true surrender.
For S.Korea Jacob's made us a Vassal State

China?
India?
All evidence is they laughed at us and sent us packing on our own without the EU. The Indians did it quite forcefully with a boot in our ass telling us not to come back with any more patronising colonial crap about the Commonwealth.

The Commonwealth
That was always a lie, at every level. Once you remove Canada, Aus, NZ and India, it's a nat's crotchet of trade, even if you make enormous African growth assumptions.
Plus, embarrassingly Brexiters seem to have forgotten about the EU deals we have with them⬇️

OK, I guess I should cover the US.
We have 30 sectoral deals already through the EU
We can't get any more coz Congress won't approve them and we don't want them (chlorinated chicken).
That's what the sector by sector nonsense was - an attempt to spin our EU deal into a US deal

Finally, Steve Baker has some mad global world order fantasy about throwing up the trade blocs to move to rabid dog eat dog free trade efficiencies.
You really shouldn't take advice from an ex 2008 Lehman's bros staffie. Plus be in the EU to do that sh1t, don't be on your own.

OK, so there is no upside - if I miraculously missed one it must be fooking huge coz the downside is
Lose 80% of our global current or soon to be deals on trade
Fook our relationship with our largest trading partner
Bend over for our non-EU negotiations
So basically...

Get a payback on #Brexit in 500 years and I promise you Paddy Ashdown will personally come back to eat his hat.
I met Paddy once - he'll find that comment in order and funny before you start wining at me.
That's #brexit no numbers needed. can we just fooking #getitgone now?

Deals
Well Canada, S.Korea whoops⬆️
Aust and NZ the EU will get there first, Fox already failed
China, the EU will get there first
India, the EU will get there first
and the US - we have 30 sectoral agreements. That's the Sector by sector nonsense, ie. EU
Africa👇

You have an angle I haven't covered Mr Brexiter? My door is open for reasoned discussion.
But if you're a tw4t about it, I'll block you - you should be criticising the idiots who sold you this crock of sh1t not constantly wining about remoaners.
Do your own fooking maths
