Brexited | the worst threads live the longest

Do you think there will be a Deal or No Deal?

If one wants to honour the vote then yes, it's kind of always been the case unless the EU want to undermine themselves for one country so to speak.

EU have put up a very strong position and have left options of calling the whole thing off, the option of a soft brexit which is actually is worse than staying a full member and utterly pointless or agreeing to a WA and getting hammered in the trade negotiations and becoming trapped in limbo.

The only way is to leave on a no deal and hope we can recover and ride the hit and there's pressure from other EU countries to make a trade deal.

EU don't want any kind of favourable deal as it could lead to more leaving. They were never going to help us leaving.

While I'm in favour of remaining a full member, we've been a stick in the mud for a while. EU are always calling for deeper integration of the policies. Is there a chance in 5-10 years UK might have to leave anyway? UK has always favoured the EU just being an economic trade area. Is the UK best off starting now rather than leaving in 10 years?

Why does that quote have my name on? I didn't say that.

No idea, I must have fecked up the quoting somehow. Fixed it now.

Mike, I am sure you are not at all mad. I have no idea how that post was attributed to me.
I certainly didn't post any such thing.

Mystery solved?
 
Laura Kuenssberg, BBC:
'Whispers this morning that clerks in Commons have made it clear to govt that Bercow would not allow them to bring back the deal for another vote - one source says this is a 'BIG PROBLEM' - with capital letters - BUT Speaker's office says not decided yet - let's see.'
 
Not sure that I understand but thank you for the information.

I should have been more explicit. The issue with languages that aren't first languages, english in the UK or french in France isn't new and not so long ago it was even institutionalized. The type of sentiment that Farage exacerbates is dangerous and it's part of the history of a lot of EU countries and it's something that we don't really want to go back to.
 
How anyone can look at that and their first instinct be to blame Labour is beyond me.

Labour are the progressive party. They are the party of the people. They are abstaining on giving the option back to the people to decide. People like fecking Lisa Nandy who despite all her bullshit waffle has just shown herself when its crunch time to be just a career politician. I hope she and the rest of the feckwits who abstained or voted against 2nd ref yesterday get fecking decimated in the upcoming polls.

Labour whipped to support it. I agree on those who abstained or rebelled but that's a criticism of the members not the party.

Still a footnote in comparison to the Tories which was the point
 
You should send him an email telling him how dissatisfied you are.
I have done it many times to my Tory MP. Suffice it to say that he has stopped responding but at least I am telling him directly what I think of him.
I think i will - although no doubt his inbox is full of gammons demanding this and that.

That's not good enough the same people from Friday pretty much abstained or voted against. They need to put real pressure on the MPs to get the votes needed. It is quite clear they just care about their seats so threaten them with taking the whip away or not supporting them with their local association then you will see how they will all fall in line. I have no issues with the Tories because they are very open about wanting to have a small government, small public service sector and quite frankly want to turn this country into a tax haven. This is why my problem is with Labour. They need to get a real fecking grip!
 
When does the Queen start getting involved?
Pfft, May won't let anyone from the outside world into her inner circle.

That sounds a bit rude, actually...
 
We won’t be leaving with no deal. It’s been ruled out over and over, May simply wouldn’t do it. We’ll be taking part in the EU elections and getting a long extension. I wish they would just stick the customs union on to her deal and pass the damn thing already.
They haven't actually removed no deal as the default and yes I think she would do it.
 
Head of civil service warns ministers of dire impact of leaving EU without deal
And, yet, apparently May saying she will choose no deal if it comes down to a choice between it and revocation. At some level this is treasonous, surely? It is all very well for an ill-informed Joe down the pub to choose no deal, but the cabinet have seen the data on this. How can they willingly choose no deal?

Yeah, it is stupid beyond belief.

The only potential gain I can see of Brexit is that the fallout from it will be so catastrophic that the British people will not fall for this sort of con so easily again.

Or the whole deconstruction of the British political and economic system. The death of both the Tory and Labour party and the current neo-liberal economic system.

That would be good too. Inadvertently, Brexit could be the resetting event the system needs. It is certainly not working well.

Wouldn't get your hopes up, The Conservatives have been around for years and they always weasel their way back after destruction like cockroaches.
 
Interesting thread. Apparently none of the major parties apart from the Conservative's and indirectly the DUP ever advertised No Deal as a good thing in their manifesto's.

If a no confidence motion was called tomorrow... and the ERG didnt back May then I believe there is a period of 14 days to form a government... but presuming one can not be formed that commands a majority on the house then we have no government for 14 days and there is nobody to stop the legal default of no deal?

or is there a safeguard against that... otherwise that must be a realistic prospect?

Unfortunately I don't see this in Britain or anywhere else. Politicians/rulers keep using the same tricks to fool people all the time. Keeps working and will keep working IMO.

I'm assuming parliament would be able to pass motions to continue doing business, but in truth who the feck knows any more. This stuff is totally unprecedented. If the ERG try it though, they're traitors pure and simple.
 
Things could be worse, there's a fair few places in the world where the army would be preparing to settle the matter about now. Fortunately there's still a fair degree of respect for democracy here, dwindling as it sadly is.

I will be storming the Bastille if that happens.
 
Bercow did say he would only entertain a fourth vote if it had significant changes . So unless something miraculous come forward in the coming days , it could be a no deal.
