Brexited | the worst threads live the longest

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

Exactly half a century of EU integration can't be undone without massive disruption.

3 years later and loads still think it's really simple to leave, look at Warnock the other day.
The Warnocks and the like can have their colonial days - put them on a wooden boat and ship them to Australia
 
Trains? The trains wont be running, the lines are blocked by all the lorries backing up from Dover.
So we'll walk everywhere in our animal hides. Stick that on your battle bus.

For those who need trains, have faith in Chris Grayling. He knows exactly what he's doing.
 
If they have a second referendum they must let 16 year old votes for it like the Scottish referendum. I’m still worried about a stalemate and then a no deal.
If they want to ensure a win for remain, they should let the 3m BN(O) holders in Hong Kong vote. It’ll be 95%+ remain out of those.
 
It was a binary choice initially, Leave or Remain and nothing has really changed, except we have had two years or more of smoke and mirrors from the whole UK Parliament (all sides) who found itself blindsided by the outcome of the referendum and no idea what to do!

The whole idea of any 'deal' was a nonsense dreamed up, by mainly UK politicians to placate the public. In fairness the EU made it clear from the outset there would not be any discussions, or negotiations on trade until the UK had left the EU.

We will Leave on the 29th March without any deal, unless May's Government cancels Brexit completely and we Remain in the EU.

Its still a binary choice
 
The EU have stated they will allow an extension of the article 50 deadline to facilitate a 2nd referendum.

That is kind of them (not).
The EU will almost anything to stop the UK leaving.

I voted to remain but I fully accept the vote and see no reason for a second referendum.

Really??? Our agreement negotiations have been pathetic and there are splits all over the place and you are blaming the EU for stopping us leaving? We can leave whenever we want, its whether its with a deal or not. They have been consistent with their negotiations and their stance.

And lets not forget, there is a Police investigation with regard to overspending and false spending returns for Vote Leave in terms of the first referendum. The risks of brexit have just not gotten through to the electorate, the majority of people seem to be worried about immigration and that by leaving the EU, that will somehow magically solve that issue, it won't.

Woahhhhh don’t go bringing that up! That’s far to politically sensitive to be discussed.

Can you even name one thing they've done to frustrate brexit so far? Or a feasible action they could have taken to help that they haven't?

They could give us all the benefits of membership, without asking us to pay a penny for it, or follow any of the rules. Because we are Britain, goddamit, we used to rule the bloody world.
 
The problem seems to be everyone is forgetting about it (conveniently in some groups) and yet its one of the biggest breaks of electoral law.

It’s not forgotten about, it’s buried. May made sure of that. Identical situation to the Republicans covering for Trump. She will have had huge pressure from the Leave section of her party to quash it because it would have been hugely damaging to their Brexit mandate.

Well hopefully when the convictions get dished out, people will get their just desserts, including that pillock Darren Grimes!
 
No no no no no, they arent talking about THE customs union, theyre talking about A customs union. A new, bespoke customs union that they will be totally happy to agree with us because theyll be nicer to them in the meetings.

Its a completely rational strategy that makes perfect sense.

Yes of course, and they'll let the UK do their own trade deals at completely different tariffs with completely different standards.

I think the issue some people have is that they seem to think the EU are some sort of emotion driven morons like a lot of our own politicians, and the electorate they hoodwinked.

It's unfathomable to these people that organisations like the EU work on a set of terms and conditions. If you want a slice of the pie you accept them, if you don't like the terms you go somewhere else. Somehow our politicians have managed to convince people that they could get the EU to change their own terms for our benefit.

Maybe but it may be necessary for there to be a second referendum, if parliament is incapable of deciding how to leave. Someone has to decide.

May's wretched red lines are the reason why we are having so much trouble leaving, not the EU. The UK screwed this one up.
 
There shouldn’t be another Referendum

Yep.

Why a true “People’s Vote” is unworkable

In hindsight it's easy to come to that conclusion, but at least in theory I don't think this was the inevitable outcome. We/you got here, because politicians from all sides are fundamentally dishonest and sold out their country for personal gain. The hardcore Brexiters with their "project fear", "it's going to be fine", "they need us more than we need them", "we've got the whole world to trade with" delusions designed to mislead the public. May/the goverment in negotiating a hopeless deal and wasting another month by postponing the vote (I'd really like to know at what point they knew her deal was stillborn and just kept going on with it regardless). Labour by pretending they can somehow just re-negotiate a better deal and from what it seems mainly being interested in forcing an election to put themselves in power.

That logic may look good on paper but it's politically untenable.

Very few voted in the expectation we'd crash out and that's explicitly not what was promised - so leaving like that doesn't respect the vote. And staying in doesn't respect the result. if Parliament can;t pick a solution then someone else has to decide.
 
The EU will negotiate for a sensible solution but the backstop is not going to change. No unicorns from Corbyn.

Which means they stay in the customs union and/or Single Market but of course paying and being subject to the necessary rules, and we know what they are.

In other words parliament have got to come to an agreement to decide what it wants.

Good luck with that.

Adding the single market and customs union and free movement to the deal makes it just remaining without an exit clause or votes in how the union operates. No need for the backstop as the whole UK will be permanently in anyway. People who want Brexit will see straight through it and remainers will say why even bother?

Just another farce like the WA so politicians can say we "delivered Brexit" whilst lying through there teeth!

Hopefully that will be debated out in parliament and ultimately it will come down to no deal v withdrawing article 50.
 
What pisses me off is that while I totally understand people's desire to send a protest vote against a system they consider deeply unfair, the stupid cnuts then keep repeatedly voting the Tories back into power.
Couldn’t agree more, and what’s worse than the stupidity of the general public is that when asked to clarify why, it’s allways trash like “Corbyn is unelectable” without stating why. I’m really starting to detest my country at this point.

Seems like the everyday joe is becoming more than just a useful idiot of the right’s propaganda machine but actually managing to further the narrative.
 
Merkel saying there's still time to negotiate

The rest of the sentence is the most important:"but we are now waiting to see what the British Prime Minister proposes.".

Yes agreed. It all boils down at the end of the day to No Deal v No Brexit - Who will revoke A50 though - don't notice any likely candidates.

Yeah it's already been established that they've got the best deal they can... with May's ridiculous red lines. The EU would be open to negotiate if they felt it was an actual negotiation and not May standing firm on her demands and expecting the EU to concede on other things.

Because he’s a horrible terrorist supporting creep of a man who has no idea how to run the Labour Party let alone the country. As for his his is right hand man McDonnell, well a few pages back are a couple of links.
As for Tom Watson, enough said. He is kept very quiet, do you really want to travel back to the 70’s?
That is why labour are not fit to be voted in and I couldn’t vote for them until they are gone. Also can you honestly see Abbot holding office? They are a bloody laughing stock.

The Tories are a shambles as well mind you and both parties need a damn good clear out, I’ve never seen such a shower in Westminster in all my life. I might, for the first time ever not bother voting next time, a sad time in politics.
