Hot on the heels of indications our position on payments into the EU and migration are beginning to soften (HERE) it has been announced that we are going to ratify plans to create a European wide patent court (HERE). Apparently, some leavers had assumed we would pull out of this but now it appears not.
Andrew Lilico, the pro-Brexit executive director of Europe Economics, said the move was “the first really concrete commitment of the Government towards Brexit, and as it stands it implies the softest of soft Brexits, much softer than has been discussed”. Let us hope he is right.
It seems we are going to demolish our European house and painstakingly rebuild it brick by brick 10cm to the left! The difference finally will be so small as to be almost unnoticeable.
