Left the rental car off at the French side of Geneva airport yesterday then made my way through to the Swiss side of the airport to get my flight. Walked the whole way through the French side and ended up in the arrivals area of Switzerland and not once did I get asked to show any passport/identification. And this is when there is heightened security. Was stopped in Dublin to show my passport. Hardly even looked at it to be fair but they were stopping non Irish passport holders.

The Swiss border is not deemed to be high risk . Dover had tailbacks going back miles, by comparison

There was a bomb scare at it yesterday. Turned out to be a hoax though. My point is I could have been some header with 2 suitcases full of explosives and walked the whole way through the french airport and actually ended up in the baggage collection area of the swiss airport  without being stopped once. Very slack security for a country 'under attack'.

The UK has no trade negotiators. It has no idea how to negotiate. It does not know what it wants.

UK bonds are now negative yield. Wages are 8% lower in real terms than 10 years ago. RBS hasn't made a profit any year since 2007. The UK is banjaxed.

I don't think so. Thatcher did a lot of damage that other countries never experienced.

They haven't even started the negotiations yet, mainly because Britain doesn't have negotiators.
