Abstract:
The famous British newspaper headline of the 1910s, ‘fog in channel; continent remains isolated’, has been getting a bit of a workout once more with the latest round of Brexit negotiations, and the increasingly white-knuckle brinkmanship politics being played inside and out of the British parliament. On 29 March 2019 the United Kingdom is scheduled to leave the EU, a date set by a UK Withdrawal Act voted up in the wake of the 2016 referendum, which committed the country to quit the EU, by a vote of 52 per cent to 48 per cent. If there is no agreement in place, the United Kingdom will leave as a ‘no deal’ crash-out, with no specific frameworks in place for myriad questions of trade, movement, transport operations and the like.
