The Brexit conversation seems to have settled on the idea that there’ll be a really long transition period. I seriously doubt it.
Even if the UK Gvt could get years more free movement and ECJ past their rabid wing (including press), which I think they can’t, the EU side
wants to get certainty quickly, and European Parlt has talked about three years maximum transition period. And this is best case,
if the UK doesn’t walk out or fail to reach agreement. 29 March 2019 is pretty soon.
