It is Donald Rumsfeld time - leaving is a vision of unknown unknowns.
One of the idiocies of this whole process is the pretence that negotiations start once Article 50 has been triggered. What do you think is happening now? This is just the informal bit of the interview where you confess to the receptionist you stood in cat-sick as you were leaving home and didn't have time to change your shoes - they DO really ask her how you came across you know! Oh the cat-sick one, we loved him!
The EU could have given Cameron something in negotiations to win him the referendum - but they didn't. They could have asked us to stay, or told us that they needed us - but they didn't. They could have waited for the negotiations proper to tell us we couldn't have the Single Market, even if we were a tutu and did a little dance - but they didn't. So now Mrs May tells us the bleeding obvious that she isn't going to try to get us what everyone with a brain cell knew we couldn't have anyway, and BANKERS of all people, having caused a financial crash and having had to be bailed out around the world, tell us, "Well now she's given us that awful non-news, we're setting up an office in Luxembourg and taking lots of jobs from London!" And these in-bred aristos-manque, who are too busy adjusting monocles to see beyond the ends of their noses are supposed to be the ****ing opinion-formers.
And in lieu of spray-on cream on top of this confection we seem taken with the opinions of Hollande's France (none of whom will be in power when we negotiate), the leader of Holland itself, who is due to lose to the far right before then too, and Malta which has 43 churches to look at and some very warm weather. Jeez!
