If, as I fear, Mrs. May is willing to accept free movement
in exchange for free access,


ISTM that the team she has put in place will not accept this.

The EU really has its head in the sand over this. It really does seem to
think that we will roll over and ask to have our tummy tickled. The
sooner it gets to understand that we wont, the better it will be for
everyone (UK/EU/ROW). It really does need to offer sensible concessions
on FoM or I think that our negotiators really will walk away.


In which case it's "hello WTO". Is that what you want?


as per my earlier post:

The threat of that solution should make the EU see some sense, as they have
as much to lose from that solution as we do.

This mantra that they cry "free trade requires free movement" is patent
nonsense as they have agreed a free trade agreement with Canada that doesn't
have free movement. They are not intrinsically linked in any way at all
except in the minds of a few ideological nutcases.

The situation has become intolerable for a large percentage of the
population.


What situation?


Influx of immigrants.
