You should’ve cut yourself off 40 years ago but better late than never.

News just in is that the 27 EU countries have accepted Theresa May's Brexit deal. This is a huge step forward after a year and a half of negotiations and a deadline that was a matter of months away. So like TM I'm feeling pretty relieved - especially as the only other option is the no-deal crash out which has always been described as "the worst possible scenario."
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-46334649 Next step is for the UK government to vote on accepting the deal themselves...

They all probably moved to Ireland and still don't have any internet access.

So Britain is just gonna straight up bottom out with the EU, middle fingers extended, and let the fish and chips fall where they may?

^ "...fish and chips...where they may..." Very droll!
I don't know the details, but some commentators are painting this deal as a good compromise, and I've noticed the following:- i) 27 EU members have agreed to it, and are unlikely to be so unanimous again, so the EU's declaration that this is the only deal is prob no bluff. ii) the deal seems to deliver several of the changes the Brexiteers wanted, on immigration, coastal waters, independence and no more payouts to the Brussels gravy train. iii) On the beeb they said, "If the cabinet doesn't approve the deal, the pound will fall off a cliff." So, although it doesn't sound popular, I rather hope the cabinet will accept the deal. In a "provocative" statement, Trump has just said the EU deal would damage the prospects of a US-UK trade agreement, to which I hope May will reply, " Don't worry that - we'll be making a trade deal with your successor anyway."

I haven’t read much on this tbh, so what will happen if we don’t accept the deal? Will the EU offer us a better or worse one?
