Brexited | the worst threads live the longest

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

Interesting... I'm not sure it will be that bad a defeat but it does show that they are (in the words of a conservative MP) going to get smashed.
Also if labour switched to backing a second referendum as official policy the numbers might be there to get over the 50% assuming a few soft brexit types would also back that
 
Chaos.

If you've got ardent Brexiters and ardent Remainers voting for the same thing, you know there's a serious problem.
If you were a betting man, do you reckon a second Referendum is most likely, or something else?

I've tried to read as many articles as possible around the topic, but I can't find any commentators willing to put their money where their mouth is. Plus, the whole situation is in such flux that everything I read is out of date by the time I get to the end of it.

Any informed opinions would be appreciated!

There are so many weird things happening the outcome could be anything but I'd see May string it out as long as possible. Favourite for me at the moment is No Deal. Not preference - I'd like to see Brexit cancelled but don't see how.

Thanks, mate. Appreciate it.
 
So are any of you guys going to / have already started to stockpile foodstuff?

My head tells me that there shouldn’t be a need to panic buy but stories of people doing so seem to be gathering pace and I wonder if I’m sticking my head in the ground trying to ignore the pending madness.

I saw people practically scrapping for marked down ready meals in Tesco yesterday and I dread to think what it would be like if food was genuinely in short suppply.
 
They believed they could follow the centuries old doctrine used in days of empire...namely divide and rule.

They thought they could get the EU to fight like ferrets in a sack and win the day...have their cake etc.

What they don't seem to have twigged is that the British also have a centuries old reputation for reneging on treaties when it suits them.

The masterstroke pulled by the EU was to set up a separate line of authority between Barnier and Tusk so the British idea of buttering up the Italian ambassador became irrelevant.

Ironic that Brexit negotiations mark the dancing on the grave of the British Empire
Actually the masterstroke is that the people in the country where i live are annoyed that the economy will get fecked cos of brexit, who is listening to them? Not the eu. Four freedoms no flexability.
 
I think I'm with you. I don't know what it would take for this woman to actually resign.

I doubt she's got a mission beyond brexit. If it passes she'll hand over thinking her self a success and if it's a referendum or GE she'll stand down.

If we go down the path of renegotiation i could see her clinging on perhaps. I still don't know which way the vote of no confidence will go

I think she will survive the confidence motion as the dup have said they will back her
 
Stockpiling food FFS. It's not nuclear war.

I mean if sense prevails we'll avoid all that stuff but we've already seen prospective problems with vital medicines in the case of a No Deal Brexit. Some people don't seem to understand how genuinely disastrous a No Deal Brexit could actually be.

I am not sure there are truly informed opinions as so much is up in the air. Certainly the markets are in wait and see mode. May’s deal won’t pass tomorrow and it’s all about the scale of the defeat. Personally I think we’ll see an extension of the March deadline by a few more months.

Could be a good plan for the government, just continually kick Brexit down the road until everyone forgets about it in 2039 or something.:lol:

That’s why I asked the question. I would hope that it’s not that bad, but do any of us know just how bad a No Deal Brexit would be...?

Well it's looking increasingly likely that there will be one, but I've no idea who would win either. Presumably it will be down to the DUP, and how safe they think they are in their own seats, anyone with a clue on that?

Difficult to tell but we'd essentially be losing most of the frameworks within which we operate while currently in the EU and would have absolutely nothing to replace them with at all.
 
What I find disturbing is that Brexiters are happy for the agreement to be voted down and Remainers are happy for it to be voted down, both sides thinking it means good news for them , one of those opinions is definitely wrong .

Which side is being conned yet again.

Have about two weeks worth of custard creams in my cupboard.

Have you noticed any common sense in UK politics in the past three years?

Part of me would rather have the deal accepted, despite being a Remainer. I can't see a second Referendum and can see no deal scenario coming. Absolutely masochistic.

Who will the French blame when their economy suffers with no deal?
