- pavlov 7y agoThat's an interesting bit of information to illuminate Boris Johnson's insistence that Britain must exit by 31 Oct 2019. "I would rather be dead in a ditch than seek an extension," he said.

Most of these territories are internally self governing including in respect of tax law, and Westminster has long since ceased legislating for them. Going back to Westminster acting as a colonial power is something which they are strongly opposed to themselves.
