Boris' walk away from the EU day is 15th October, do you think he will do it, more important, do you think he should do it?
For my part I think he should. Even if it were not for our fishing rights and our own laws I understand that there are many other unresolved issues. Things will be hard, made even worse by Covid, but if he fails now we will never be free. Just because we leave without a deal does not mean that talks on trade cannot continue, but at least the EU will be faced with having to negotiate with an independent nation, a fact they can't seem to get their heads around at the moment.
The EU, particularly the French are rejecting what I see as an extremely generous deal of fishing under annually negotiated licenses in our waters, yet are willing to be excluded altogether. In a typical fit of pique they are threatening to exclude other EU nations from fishing in their waters (not that they have many fish in them anyway), but it shows just how solidarity works in the EU. The EU are threatening to exclude British beef saying that it fails to meet their standards that it met just days before, The EU will also not recognise our standards institutions, which in most cases are better than theirs. I have no doubt channel ports will be blocked. I certainly hope Michael Gove has thought of this.
Even given everything that the EU and their petty acolytes will undoubtedly try to throw at us, we should not yield to blackmail and stick to our guns, so I would say, Boris must not swerve from 15th October.
