The knuckle-draggers who voted to leave the EU won't care about threats like this - they'll just use hate speech to dismiss it. Downvote me by all means :)
No way that the EU is going to remove the UK from its single market; the rest of EU is far too dependent on demand from the UK economy.
But for the next 2.5 years you wont really see it. In 2.5 years the crisis will start. Just like the Swiss are only now starting to sweat.
It's really incredible that three months after the vote, we still haven't the slightest idea what post-Brexit UK will look like. Will they go for the EEA (the least destructive option), or will they - as Theresa May threatens - sacrifice everything just to limit immigration? Three months after the biggest decision in decades, and the subject is barely even being talked about seriously in the UK. I don't understand it…

I think that the EU will. The UK economy is a significant part of the EU economy but the interests of continental governments are now aligned against the UK. They are basically all thinking what can we get out of the UK, their horsetrading has started and the UK has a lot less horses to trade. There are just to many people the UK has to please at once to make the exit smooth for the UK. But for the next 2.5 years you…

Given that the UK economy is doing well, what is there to talk about? Most people are relieved to have that monkey off their back.

EU's growth will come from enlargement and from increasing demand in Central and Eastern European member states.
EU will have to set an example and in the eyes of many Europeans the Brits must suffer from their foolish choice.

Philip Hammond was recently in China [1] and discussed the possibility of trade agreements with them and other representatives of other countries who were also there.
Australia has already mentioned opening up trade agreements [2] with the UK as well.
There is even talk of trading with the common-wealth [3].
The point is this, things are moving forward. Just because it's not in the news. Which the majority it won't be until it's ready to be announced. Doesn't mean that nothing is happening.
Also I don't know how old you are. But before the UK entered the EC which it was known back then. The UK was trading with the entire world. Now, it has the possibility of accessing the EU market AND trading with the world. Which I think is a great prospect for the UK.
Edit: To address the downvotes. When the UK was trading within the EU. These trading agreements were done by the EU for all the member-states. They were negotiating as one trading block.
Now that the UK is out of the EU. She can trade speaking for herself, not having veto's by France or another country. Go look it up.
Also [4]: EU-US trade agreement fails. Now the UK is free to open up trade talks with the US.

this "warning" was totally unnecessary and those kinds of acts go without saying anyway. Whoever wrote it up doesn't realize that this attempt at posturing makes them looks weak rather than strong.

I won't downvote you but I will question your choice of terms. You do realise there were rational arguments for wanting to leave the EU? It wasn't all about racism.
