QUOTE Right now the UK just looks like one of those dogs that's demanding to be let outside, but you know once they're let out they're just going to want to come back in.[/quote]
Cat. Cat actually.
Short answer is that the UK invoked Article 50 on March 29, 2017, which started a two-year timer in which the UK and EU were to negotiate and agree to the terms of their divorce. No such deal has been made, and the astute observer will notice that the clock expires in two days. Right now May is negotiating for an extension, but in any event it will likely not extend past May 22, since their are European Parliament elections coming up and both sides aren't terribly interested in UK electing MPs to a body that UK is in the middle of abandoning anyways.

Here is how I see it. A lot of UK citizens don't care. They are struggling to live.
The UK gov't is blundering from one tarpit to another. UK parliament would show they can fix the problem, ending in a total chaos not wanting anything. No leave, not continue the current relationship with the EU.
The loud mouths in the UK are about 50/50 on stay/leave the UK so they hold each other in a death grip, fighting a trench warfare. In public, on tv, they pretend deaf to other views. In private, outside the theater they can be reasonable people. But they are manhandled by the Chief Whips and exec orders and want to be re-elected.

It's frankly a bizarre set of political circumstances.
A day before the original leaving date there's not even a bookies' favorite outcome let alone a settled plan.

It seems in MyLittleCountry there is already a customs declaration system for UK trucks arriving by ferries, ready to be used after a (hard) brexit. A UK company can do the red tape paperwork in advance, the truck should be passing our border just as quickly as the old situation.
