Why do we allow Brexiteers dismiss every forecast that shows that leaving the EU will be a disaster of varying proportions, depending on the terms under which we leave, as "project fear", and just outright lie about the so called advantages?
The backstop will take effect if we fail to negotiate a satisfactory trade deal with the EU. Any trade deal will be subject to us remaining aligned with EU regulations and standards. Should a future Government decide that we did not wish to continue to be aligned with these regulations, and standards, they could choose to diverge. This could occur if we chose to implement a trade deal with the USA, and import chlorinated chickens, hormone fed beef, and GM crops. In this case the backstop would come into play. This could occur at anytime in the future, so how could the backstop be time limited.

Auto parts suppliers warn hard Brexit may set UK sector back 25 years

"I Moved To Ireland Because Of Brexit": A 23-Year-Old Woman Who Gave Up On Britain
There's less than six months to go until "Brexit Day", when the UK will leave the EU once and for all, but if you've been following the ongoing negotiations you'll know they're not exactly going according to plan – particularly the confusion over what will happen to the Irish border. That's on top of the fact that if the referendum were re-held two years on, Remain would clinch it, according to numerous polls. So, the recent news that there's been a spike in British people buying homes in Ireland is only somewhat surprising. House sales to "Brexit refugees" from the UK have increased by 10% in the last year because of Brexit, with almost half of estate agents citing a rise in enquiries from the UK in the last year, the Irish Independent reported this week
Two marches today. There are about six people attending the "Save Brexit" march with Nigel Farage in Harrogate, while around half a million are marching in London for a "Peoples Vote".
