All You Need to Know About Brexit

Brexit is probably the single most important undertaking that the UK will decide upon effecting every individual in the British Isles not to mention having a meaningful impact on the European Union.

After a referendum which rivals the election of liar-Trump to the presidency of the United States in the extent of lies, half-truths and general intentional misinformation the British public voted to leave the EU without any clear indication of just what that meant and under what terms they should go. Now, almost 2 years later the British Prime Minister has been able to negotiate what is essentially a soft Brexit requiring the UK to adhere to all the rules and regulations of the EU; pay the EU as if they were members; but have no vote as they would no longer be members.

Annoyingly this was obvious from the moment they triggered Article 50 although the Brexiteers in their Elizabethan fantasy land thought they would just walz away from the EU and dance back into the time when Britannia did indeed rule the waves.

So now everything is narrowing down to a vote in Parliament on Theresa May's Brexit deal on December 11.

As a precursor to that vote Prime Minister Theresa May has offered to debate on BBC the leader of the Opposition, Jeremy Corbyn, head of the Labour Party, on Sunday 9 December, two days before MPs vote on her deal.

So how did the wannabe Prime Minister Jeremy Corbyn respond?

"...Labour sources say the party has not yet agreed to take part, with Jeremy Corbyn telling 'This Morning' he preferred ITV's offer out of "respect" for viewers who wanted to watch the 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!' final on ITV the same evening - 9 December. I want to watch it myself," he said."

And you wonder how the Brits could have voted to leave the EU....
