I've just come across this post over at the Guardian. I'd been wondering when this would be floated as a solution!

Has anyone here heard the LBC thing referred to?

How about the entire EU27 leave the EU and negotiate a mutual, tariff free trade deal based on free movement with each other and the UK? That'll fix it.

I often agree with Mr. Clegg. We did, however, disagree on some important issues.

A short thread about Brexit.

1. The UK will leave the EU on 29 March 2019 by automatic operation of law - unless one of a very few things happen.

All other things being equal, leaving on 29 March 2019 is the most likely outcome.

With or without a withdrawal agreement.

(not short but worth the scary read)

I think many Leavers genuinely believed that UK voting to leave would start the break-up of the EU.

After the ref my hairdresser asked me, quite seriously, if I thought other countries would leave too. I said, not when they see what happens to us.

There's something been on my mind and I've tried to write the post several times only to leave it. I'll try again.
I don't mind what I consider absurd content published in the Guardian, as long as good stuff is published too. I appreciate the platform below the line. There are many commentators I've known and loved for years still posting there. It's a private business, the Guardian. It's not the BBC, it's not got a mandate to provide a public service. More often than not, the Guardian posts factual information and gives me a reputable source linked in the content in order for me to check their sources. I found you all through a Guardian link years ago. Please know my opinion about the news outlet is only that. Most of the information I read and use daily is most often from the ONS, NAO and other research-based organisations.
