Maybe it is not too late to articulate that . . .
if - immediately after the Brexit Referendum - the UK had taken the initiative and declared that the UK would only accept a,
No-Deal - “Hard” - WTO terms severance/departure from the EU,
the UK could/should have spent the last two years working with confidence - from a position of certainty - negotiating and preparing positively and productively towards a,
No-Deal - “Hard” - WTO terms severance/departure from the EU.
As “Architects-of-Our-Own-Destiny” we could have been picking-and-choosing new deals and agreements, with new partners with whom we wished to negotiate and on terms dictated by ourselves.
Instead, we have wasted two years spent (WARNING: mixed metaphors), in a supine position; tugging-our-forelocks; dancing to the tune; dictated by the resentful and vengeful oligarchs of the EU.
If it is NOT too late, than the UK should immediately declare NOW, that we shall only accept a,
No-Deal - “Hard” - WTO terms severance/departure from the EU.
