Britain has limited options available on Brexit: Conservative deputy chair

LONDON (Reuters) - Britain has a limited range of options available on Brexit and lawmakers should support Prime Minister Theresa May’s exit deal to avoid a ‘no deal’ exit or no Brexit at all, the deputy chairman of her Conservative Party said on Sunday.

...

“There are now a really limited range of options,” Conservative deputy chair James Cleverly told Sky News.

No sh**.  It's got the same three it's had from the beginning:  no-deal (a real Brexit), a "deal" on terms that the EU dictates (because that's all the EU ever does) which would be worse than staying in, or calling it off. 

The only way anything else could have happened would have been for Her Majesty's Government to have started preparing both logistically and legally for no-deal, including announcing the dropping of all tariffs vis-a-vis all WTO signatories effective upon Brexit, and to let the EU realize the downside of a no-deal.  Unfortunately May didn't hear or or heard and didn't believe, the advice offered the UK by Yannis Varoufakis, the former Greek finance minister:  don't negotiate with the EU.

(Varoufakis is, incidentally, just about the only leftist alive today for whom I have any respect -- his analysis of the Greek debt crisis and the bailout, not of Greece, but of Western European banks with exposure to Greek debt, packages as a "bailout of Greece", was absolutely spot on.)
And when they behead your own people in the wars which are to come, then you will know what this was all about.

Why not just recall the representatives from the EU parliament (or whatever it is that they have), and send the EU a piece of paper saying "we withdraw"?

And... go on from there.

Am just wondering what the EU military can do against the UK's to enforce anything?
