Yh, just had a look at it.
Realistically, I can't get excited about something I can't see happening. It's either Customs Union or No Deal.
Brexited | the worst threads live the longest

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.

Even though I can't see it, it's fun looking at brexiteers squeel at the thought of another referendum.
It is pretty staggering that a movement, that has seemingly chosen Blair and Ali Campbell to be its most frequent on air representatives, is trying to make the argument that large marches through London shouldn't be ignored.
Then again it is also a movement trying to make out that it's concerned about austerity after Brexit, whilst marching alongside politicians who have been in favour of it for the best part of a decade.

British empire...
Militarily imposing our will on less developed countries and then taking advantage of its people and resource... Whilst making some cushy jobs for the boys generally living it up and living like a king...
Hummmm fire up the gunboats and let's head to the Maldives... My application for high commissioner is in the post!
Not sure what the UN would make of our empire stuff these days but hey we have a security council veto so let's go for it

He missed out the 'Careful Now' at the bottom.And the award for worse sign goes to..................
Have many of Labour's current frontline figures have actually backed the idea of a second vote?
If I was a British remainer I would want the current opposition to be reacting to the shambles that Brexit has become by actually opposing Brexit and demanding a second vote. Watching the likes of Campbell and Blair lead the way would make me wonder why less objectionable Labour figures aren't fronting the campaign if they actually represent my concerns.
A quick look at the leader of the opposition's twitter feed shows him speaking about his role in the campaign against Pinochet twenty years ago but saying nothing about the campaign against Brexit that has seen hundreds of thousands of people marching in his nation's capital today. That can't be right.

The march will be futile in the end. Tories, who won't call an election would be committing suicide calling for another vote.
Honestly feel they would rather crash the country than harm the party.
People should have informed themselves of what was at stake before the referendum.

There definitely wasn't ever billions in the British Empire. He should at least get his jingoistic statistics right.
Remember when >2% of the population turned out in London to protest against the Iraq war and were ignored and then barely a decade later their reservations were proved to be absolutely right?
Yeah good times, let’s do it all over again.

Historians and statisticians are among the experts who shan't be listened to when the revolution comes.
And yet maybe if they'd have listened to that march they wouldn't have dragged the UK into a disastrous decision that roughly half the country supported at the time....but strangely enough you'll find almost no one who admits to supporting it now.
The mere fact that renowned chancer Boris Johnson was involved should've led people to choose any other option bar his self-interested scam de jour.
Feckin Independent!
Now they’ve finally come out with the 2nd referendum talk.
I don’t care one way or the other about Brexit, that’s the UK choice, but the Independent has been bang out of order for quite a while now.

You're right. Perhaps the leader of the opposition could have found some time to do some opposing?
I assume the silence from yer man from California is because he's off reading about the GFA and how the EU works?
If the Brexit voters had done the same the UK wouldn't be in the sh!t it is now.
The response by paddy Kielty yesterday explaining the Irish border was brilliant
Lib Dem barely above UKIP
Lib Dems are a busted flush. I've voted LD before but the Clegg farce, Farron and his backwards religious stance, missing the most important vote on Brexit that they vowed to oppose... They might as well fold at this stage.
If the opposition wasn't led by a limp lettuce they wouldn't be.
Interesting pov from Mason as always.
Brexit has broken this country beyond repair imo. At the moment, we are ungovernable.

Tories still ahead after 8 years of austerity.
Well they might be making a mess of it, but there's zero to suggest that Labour wouldn't just make the exact same mess given anytime they're pushed on Brexit they just fall back on offering similarly unachievable positions on brexit.
Labour's chance to prosper was to offer a coherent alternative. Doesn't help that Corbyn is never, ever going to attract remain supporting Tories either of course.
This isn't necessarily true - some of Labour's gains in traditionally Tory London areas last year suggests he's at least partially capable of winning over some fairly liberal Tories who disagree with him economically but can't stand the Tories continual veer to the right. Albeit that's probably being increasingly undermined by Corbyn's insipid opposition to Brexit.
Interesting in a way, but he is still just glibly saying things like this with no explanation of how the impossible will be achieved though.
True. Ultimately one side wants to either remain in the EU or in the customs union, while the other side wants to reduce immigration. These two positions aren't compatible with each other and aren't going to be.
Being just in the EEA does not solve the problem.
Labour's policy is to have the same benefits of the customs union and the single market, there's only one way, being in the EU.
He's worried about Brexiters getting aggressive while Remainers just sit back and let the country go to the dogs?
A soft Brexit is BINO.
But yes there are millions of other problems which will all be aggravated by any form of Brexit.
Gordon Bennett!
Yeah it really is. I guess there are more rich toffs in uk then i thought. Too many people that like low taxes and shit services. Some might call them idiots but not me.
There is an anti brexit party mate, the only party that seems to have lost points. Maybe people like brexit more than you think or cant vote lib dems because they cant vote for a party based on 1 policy.
When was the last time a Liberal party got elected on their own to head the British parliament, over 100 years ago.
There is another party who are anti-Brexit, just that the leader isn't. British politics need a complete overhaul.
But I was more criticising the journalist and the sleepwalking of the anti-Brexiters towards accepting their fate so meekly.
Tell you what though, if there is a poll this time next year if the UK leaves with no deal - I guarantee that Brexit would not lead the poll. People will have discovered what they voted for.
