Brexit

[anniec]

The only way we'd find out for sure is to have another referendum, as you reject all other means of gauging current opinion.

Judging by what's going on at the moment in Parliament, they'd spend the next 5,442,879 years arguing about the questions.

[Jack Staff]

Today, 60 hours before the scheduled date of leaving the European Union,
and two years after the start of the negotiations,
the UK Parliament is holding Indicative Votes so that the representatives of the British
people can decide what our Brexit negotiating position should be.

Meanwhile, back in the factual world, The Guardian had to publish this through gritted teeth

https://www.theguardian.com/business/20 ... is-deepens

Just imagine how we would be flourishing had the losers not decided to try and overturn the result?

Back in the world of Fake News … from the same periodical

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/20 ... -50-brexit

You do the maths - half a million Remainers marching constitutes a 'majority' - five million clicks on a website constitutes a majority …
Only in the EU !

The only way we'd find out for sure is to have another referendum, as you reject all other means of gauging current opinion.

I'm beginning to concur with that Gill

It should settle it once and for all.

Tick a box - Leave or Remain.

No other options.

A minimum of 60% majority to change from the original vote to leave.

Then everyone can abide by it, if it's a clear majority to remain in.

I'm up for that and I reckon many others would be as well (just an opinion )

Oh Femi ?
That well known democrat who started his crusade within days of the original vote ?
We'll all take a lot of notice of what he says, won't we.

He overlooks the point that the representatives of the British people had already asked what the people wanted, but they didn't expect the result to be what it was.
Mr Cameron, Mr Osborn, Mr Clegg, all spelt it out clearly

"Make no mistake, a vote to leave the EU is a vote to leave the single market and the customs union."

Or maybe they didn't and my memory (and Google) has failed

[Jack Staff]

So what are they doing in the Commons then?

[Manoverboard]

Going round in circles ?

[barney]

So what are they doing in the Commons then?

Their utmost to overthrow the democratic vote of the majority in June 2016.
That's my opinion anyway.
The majority of MPs would love nothing better than to remain in the EU (future jobs ?)

[Jack Staff]

They could back her deal and be rid of her,
or be rid of her deal and get rid of her too.
It’s hard to see why Brexiteers should be afraid of a delay
if the public is on their side in order to get the Brexit they believe in.

A minimum of 60% majority to change from the original vote to leave.

Better if it was 50% + 1 of the electorate

B*******g about as usual.

Either would suit me.

If she keeps her promise, which her record renders far from certain,
then she’ll emulate Cameron & leave others to clear up her mess.
Brexiters will blunder about for a bit, revivifying various unicorn myths,
blind to reality & their own epic inadequacies.
And then chaos.
Again.

Jack, why do you keep quoting these nondescript presenters and journalists, does it give you a warm glow that they also agree with you?

[barney]

Please stop posting quotes from anti democrats. It's getting rather tedious. Nobody gives up bucket of monkey piddle on what James O'brien thinks except himself.

[Jack Staff]

Usually because I wish I had said that. I could plagiarise, but that would remove the opportunity for my Brexity pals to avoid the content and reply with phrases like "nondescript presenters and journalists" or "That well known democrat" or "Nobody gives up bucket of monkey piddle on what James O'brien thinks except himself."

[Gill W]

Well , I see Mogg, Johnson and IDS have turned their coats and are saying they will vote for the WA.

It's still the same rubbish deal, so what has changed? They can now see the opportunity to become PM.

Self serving slugs.

[barney]

I value your opinion far more than a shock jock Jack

I think they have done it just to pee off all of the remainers who claim it's OK to change your mind

Well my opinion is....

then she’ll emulate Cameron & leave others to clear up her mess.

[barney]

Did you plagerise that.

[Jack Staff]

Did you plagerise that.

Maybe just a tad

[Jack Staff]

If you think the PM’s deal makes us a ‘vassal state’,
risks splitting up the UK and hammers the economy,
you won’t be fooled to vote for it on account of a vague promise to quit in a couple of months
...unless you only care about the Tories and don’t give a stuff about Britain...

{An MP}

[Jack Staff]

Barney, we can celebrate tonight as Aaaaarlene regrets the DUP is unable to support the Trezza deal.
{Me}

[Gill W]

Well, that's put the cat amongst the pigeons.

If the deal doesn't go though, does this mean Treeza has to stay on

[Jack Staff]

Please, no.
