Deal/no deal

A no-deal Brexit would not make any difference to my water supply at least. Wessex Water has been owned by a Malaysian conglomerate for many years now. Britain has lost control of the very stuff which for which it is internationally famous for being obsessed with - rain. I cannot see anybody investing in the  water industry of a country which borders on the Sahara.

Top of the list of Brexit sticking points is fishing, and it is more complicated than Boris and his chums are making it out to be. It is not so small as to be considered symbolic.

Next down is how the deals are struck in as fair and even a way as possible for both sides. The fact that people refer to 'both sides' shows an unhealthy lack of cooperation to me, but didn't we expect that? 

Finally, there is the tricky business of who makes the rules, how they are enforced and who enforces them. The largely unwritten rules regarding the privatisation of essential services included investment in the infrastructure by whatever company which profits from them. Britain subsidises privatised services but still leaks like a sieve.

A no-deal exit will only make things slightly worse.
