UK seems resigned to a break-out no Brexit deal

It is surely one of the most despicable abdications of political responsibility for ministers of the British government to casually announce that as a Brexit deal now looks increasingly unlikely that it's time to warn of the dire consequences, and to outline the steps that will need to be taken, none of which are good for this country or for individual citizens. Now it may be necessary to say this because of pressure on businesses and industry but the overall message to all of us is that the government is now more interested in the worst-case scenario than reaching a proper, effective and beneficial deal with the EU. What a state we are in, this poor country of ours. There is noone with the leadership quality to negotiate a decent exit from the EU. The soft exit advocated by Theresa May was neither acceptable to the Leavers nor to the EU. A hard exit might be more loyal to the alleged mandate from the disastrous referendum but would bring so many uncertainties. But a no-deal Brexit, now the most talked about option, would surely be catastrophic. Why is the Brexit Secretary even mentioning it when it his HIS job to make sure we do get a proper deal. Is Dominic Raab, the man with this job, the right individual to give us all a happy future? No, absolutely no. He is not an inspirational politician. I preferred David Davis. So under Raab and Theresa May we have the prospect of crashing out of the EU with no agreement. If Labour were to win an election, they would be no better, probably worse. There is only one answer: a second referendum and a resounding YES to stay in the EU after all. That has to be our future. Otherwise it's a gloomy future for us all.
