Purely speculative.

Is that the case? Hopefully you will all be out of your misery soon.
Yup - and we don't leave at all. If we are stupid enough to crash out without a deal then IMO the misery is going to get a whole lot worse.

It's ironical that "Remainers" should be dubbed "Remoaners".

All that critics of the EU have done for the past 30-odd years (especially some Tory backbenchers) is . . . well, moan.

Talk about a pot calling a kettle black!

And when it came to putting their vote where their mouths were, these 'brave' leavers, didn't have the cojones and collapsed in a heap on May's deal. Luckily there were sufficient number of of so called 'remoaners' who were able to toss May's 'deal' back into the trash can where it belongs.

You know you have something there, I would rather stay in than be half in half out with no escape. At least if we stay in we can in future trigger article 50 again and this time do it properly by triggering article 24 shortly after. Get out properly without all mess we have now. Just needs a few years a couple of elections and we could do it.

They predictably I guess voted along party lines and saved their own skins. Sadly I thought some of them had more to them than that. I over estimated their bravery.

You do know the EU is preparing legislation that a member can invoke article 50 only every 25 years?

Julie darlin', I keep saying this - the vast majority of these gutless 'Leavers' are scumbag 'nasty party' members - which should say all there is needed to say about them.

No I didn't but if they do that I think it will hasten their end as if you don't have a proper leave point people will jump ship without it or it might even cause violence. They really do seem to want to do the most anti democratic things and model themselves on despotic rulers who won't give up no matter what.

I know some-one who has a T.34 tank with all the ammunition still in the rack and in full working order when it was first found, as too is the gun. I think I might just have to take it for a ride through the tunnel to Bruxelles !!!
