EU would make the most sense to me given they're already the longstanding target. Easier to keep on blaming outsiders rather than actually accepting that the UK made a series of obvious & stupid mistakes.

All you need to do to know who'll be blamed when things inevitably go tits up, is read the BBC comments on the Brexit topics.
It's pretty obvious the evil EU is not giving Special Britain a fair deal. A colleague at work asked me 'How do we know if the EU was giving us a good deal when we were a member?'
That's what the Leave demagogues did so well. They made the Remain side have to disprove the myth that outside the EU things will go back to the good times of Empire. It's impossible to do because you're fighting someone's imagination.

The dastardly EU, Remainer Snowflakes, and the Traitors ofc.
Foreigners and anybody with a skin tone that doesn't let you see their internal organs if they stand infront of a particularly bright light.
But not Labour supporters of course. Apart from the northern ones, the old ones, the uneducated ones and the generally stupid ones, obviously; but the rest of the Labour supporters are definitely not to blame. The others aren't real Labour anyway.

Anyone ignorant enough to support a hard Brexit is not in my good books, that's for sure.

This is one of the best articles I've read on a long time

Seems the UK government doesn't realise that if the UK isn't going to be part of the CU or the SM they have to put up a border. No WTO for them either?
That's clearly the real problem here.
Considering how Trump's US act and the leverage the US will have on a desperate UK, I won't be surprised if they order the UK to name the Cornish pasties something else so that the US companies can name them Cornish pastries. (joking)
tbf it is a problem, the EU is pretty good at protecting regional industries which could be thrown out of the window when Britain is negotiating new trade deals.
Maybe adding 'Made in Cornwall' to the label in large letters would be in order?
Trump would probably see that as the UK being unfair to the US.
Certain nuclear war? Just a guess.
trade wars.
That's another unexpected consequence of the vote I guess. Must admit I wasn't sure if the regional goods was EU law or some other supranational body or law. Agree it's a decent law.
Ignore me, I forgot for a moment how stupid Trump is.
It's an indicator of a bigger problem. We Brits have decided to leave the collective strength of the EU for bullshit like this. We are going to be carved up in any negotiation.

Makes sense from a power politics point of view since the UK alone won't have equal leverage like the EU so the US is able to extract a better deal off them.
The problem with nationalism is its unfeasable. If everyone starts putting their own country's interests first and ahead to other country's interests then we would end up poking each others eyes. That's how 2 World wars started.
If people had the habit to say it that way, it would make things clearer.
There is obviously going to be a torrent of these stories coming up. Wonder when the damage will start to sink in with some.
This quote in the FT article sums it up nicely.
What does disgraced minister Liam Fox actually do all day?
He convenes a UK Board of Trade meeting every day, every resolution is passed unanimously as he's the only member.
Pinches himself that he's been given such a high profile job despite being a complete moron.
He's vying for the extended title of 'disgraced' Disgraced Minister Liam Fox.
Oh my god..

I really want to know what their end game is here. They've had a year and a half and are still not telling us what they are going to with the border.
They have obviously thought about it and must surely have an idea of what they want but are afraid to tell anyone. They don't want to say it as there is no solution that keeps everyone happy, it will have to come out eventually but I have to say I'm starting to get a bit worried now that they are siding with border checks

incompetent may is back
She left at some point?
What is wrong with her? Someone should tell her to stop talking, she isn't helping herself.
"Make no mistake - it’s a hard border...There are armed guards, dogs, flags and checkpoints..... It was a very interesting visit but it certainly left me in little doubt that the US Canada model would not be desirable on the island of Ireland" - Leo Varadkar, August 2017.
Theresa May some seven months behind events.
Morons.
It's astonishing how dense this lot is
It's very simple, either the UK stays in the CU/SM and there's no hard border or if they don't there is a hard border, there is no other choice, it's WTO rules, why doesn't anyone in the UK blow this out of the water straight away instead of pussyfooting around. It's not even a debate or a negotiation. Moronic.
