If folks don't want to Brexit then why not stage some mass protests or something...do the majority truly want to Brexit?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
I think when it comes down to it, a lot of people aren’t that bothered either way, especially remainers.
Very few things about Northern Ireland Politics make sense.
Sigh...
I've seen a few people say this but the reality is that things won't come to any sort of conclusion with a no deal exit, as if that settles things. It would keep rumbling on and on, just from a more bitter and divided position with the UK suffering much worse.
Even after a no deal exit, the UK will still ultimately need to establish some sort of relationship with the EU and do something about the border in NI. Both of which will require yet more negotiations with the EU. A no deal exit won't bring relief from that shitshow.
It stands for Extremely Rich Geezers.
You offering to pay my mortgage when Automotive manufacturing dies on it's arse?
Story of her career. She’s proven herself utterly incapable of working with, compromising with, or even empathising with other political players and alternative opinions.
Kent pupils could be left stranded by no-deal Brexit gridlock, warns council
Teachers told they may have to ‘adopt carer role’ if traffic stops parents picking children up

Apologies if this has been posted but even if only a fraction of this is true then it's incredible. This is Kent Council, their main interest is in keeping essential services running.
I blame May for this national crisis. She's had 2 years to find a cross party consensus, not just one that appeases the ERG and stops the Tory Party from imploding. Her stubbornness in clinging to her deal as the only possible middle ground between Remain and Brexit is ludicrous and beyond hubris.
To some extent I also blame Brexiters as they can't agree on what kind of Brexit they want, hard or soft.
What also hacks me off is the safety precautions MPs are having to take to avoid alterations from disaffected Leave voters. If the positions were reversed, I bet MPs wouldn't have to avoid assault from disaffected Remain voters.
I don't give a shit about the Blitz spirit, Brexit is just fecking madness.

A big part of me wishes the EU were the adults in this relationship and they had a contingency plan where they let us go to shit for the next 6 months, let there be a real, tangible feeling of regret, remorse and realisation and then open the door to let us back in on the basis we tell the ERG to feck off out of politics.
Happy to give up sterling and our privileged position within the EU for that scenario to play out.
You should keep pushing tbh. Write to you local MP's and just tell them that revoking A50 is preferable to no deal. Or that staying in the EU and forgetting the whole sorry mess is preferable, or not. Just exercise any and every bit of control you have to get the outcome you actually want and be specific. It was a tiny majority 2 years ago based on a spectacularly dishonest campaign. Do what you can to make it clear that there's as many unwilling participants as possible. Go through the motions and do your part, it'll encourage MP's to do their part and vote for the best outcome for their citizens.
Cmon man you know they arent going to do that. It would devalue them as a political entity instantly. They were voted for as an abstention party. Besides the UK is doing a good enough job wrecking itself.
No, no it won’t
Just read the average Flemish person would lose 149€ per year in case of a No deal brexit.
Give me my money back!
Give me my money back!
Stubborn as a mule
Best one yet
If this is real, I think either;
a) May scares enough MPs into voting for her deal.
b) It fails, May is forced out of No. 10. And then...? The stat posted today that 70ish% of Tories now prefer a no deal outcome terrifies in all honesty. Could be dreadful at this point.
It's upto 1.8m now.
Holding my bae Nicola extra close these days.
She’s hilarious, in a terrifying, terrifying way.
Me too mate! The whole thing is a shower of shite.
This analogy of her being like an AI which is programmed for one task is becoming increasingly true. Has anyone tried to unscrew the back of her and check if it's all in working order?
Sheffield voted to leave mate. Lie in your bed.
Absolutely terrifying, i hope the EU have balls of steel.
Yes its a very good analogy!
Take the batteries out of the fecking thing!
Why? Theres endless evidence of them murdering people amongst other pretty grim stuff. They have no place in a peaceful, decent society
Destroy the Maybot before she destroys the world.
No uncertainty is one issue. The main issue is if we leave with no deal we will be royally screwed. Not maybe screwed absolutely screwed.
Number one, we’re getting off topic in this thread but go to another one if you wish, number two that was during an armed conflict, number three you are confusing Sinn Fein with the IRA, and four plenty of those killings were right plenty were wrong, but killings were happening on both sides.
I'm going off topic here, but by all accounts, I've heard Paisley was a fantastic constituency politician, who would have gone to all lengths to help any Catholic that came to him with an individual case, while still going out to preach Never Never Never about the Anti-Christ Pope the very next day.
May only listens to the Daily Mail owners. Not her whips.
If that's the case for them, it's also the case for the DUP. And the Tories for that matter!
We all know how completely fecked the Tories are with all of this, but I'm still utterly dumbfounded at how poorly Labour have handled this as the opposition.
Corbyn has been a complete doormat during the whole thing, and surely has lost the vast majority of the support he once had by failing to do literally anything? There have been multiple stages during this that Labour could have come out and completely opposed Brexit, offering a real alternative to the shitshow we're currently, and are likely to continue enduring.
The referendum being advisory only has barely been mentioned.
The proven underhandedness of the Leave campaign has barely been mentioned.
The swinging poll numbers on the matter have barely been mentioned.
The closeness of the actual vote has barely been mentioned.
The option of revoking Article 50, even to do some proper, in-depth impact assessments on the various possible outcomes, has barely been mentioned.
The fact that even those that want to leave, can't even agree on how has barely been mentioned.
They've just been a bunch of nodding dogs, occasionally piping up with something vaguely resembling a dissenting voice, but not really, once a month.
Most infuriatingly, there has also barely been any challenge to the stubborn, bone-headedness of the "we need to get on with it, it's the will of the people" nonsense that keeps being spouted, not just by known garbage mouth-pieces like Farage, but by May herself. It's infuriating.
We've currently got one of the worst sitting governments ever, propped up by a band of bought, shithouse, religious lunatics, and somehow Labour can't leave a scratch on them because they're being led by a man who now seems more concerned with trying to become PM himself than the imminent shitstorm the country is about to find itself in.
We've seen from that farce of a march Farage 'organised' that there won't be riots if we don't leave, so why has no one got the backbone to just acknowledge that we can actually pump the brakes on this?
Being an advisory referendum, surely the result was actually, "Leave if it's best for the country" and not, "Leave whatever"?

I agree and I wonder what the thinking is. I'd still much much much rather have him in charge though.
Pretty much.
Oh absolutely. At least he doesn't hate the poor or the disabled. May's got a lot of blood on her hands.
I was a big fan of his for quite a while, but he's lost me a fair bit with this. It's too big for him to have just shrugged off.
Petition will hit 2m by the end of the night, very impressive (although meaningless).
