Totally agree with Puddle here.
Britain stands on the precipice of losing it's long standing rights and freedoms laid down by the Magna Carta and Common Law and Declaration Of Rights.
This is no longer simply about BrExit and whether we stay of leave the EU.
This is now far more fundamental.
It is now about whether UK politics, whether government will respect and deliver the wishes of a majority democratic vote.
In this respect it doesn't really matter what that vote is, whether it's BrExit or a General Election or whatever.
The point at which government seeks to subvert a democratic referendum is the point at which our entire democratic process is put in jeopardy.
THAT can not go unchallenged and I truly believe it would not go unchallenged.
If this EU controlled government attempts to either:
1) Keep us in the EU via shady stealthy deals (as May is trying her best to do)
2) Offers a second referendum with a Remain option
3) By any other means, fails to take us out of the EU
Then there absolutely WILL be a civil revolution.
The riots seen in London a few years ago as a result of police shooting someone, which saw mass rioting, shop looting and many properties burned to the ground, will be absolutely nothing compared to the fury unleashed by a totalitarian dictatorship approach by government.
In London, police officers from all around the country had to be drafted in to cope with the scale and extent of the problem.
If this country sees the same kind of riots happening simultaneously in all major cities, London, Leeds, Manchester, Birmingham, Nottingham, Oxford, Cambridge, etc etc then there is absolutely 100% no way that our police forces could do anything except stand and watch on the side lines.
The military would have to be drafted in, curfews put in place and lethal force likely used.
That would finally underline the fact that we in fact live in a totalitarian dictatorship which is growing as a Police State. That is the EU model that has started to infect the UK.
Do you want to live in a Police State?
Do you want our ancient hard fought freedoms of Habeus Corpus (Innocent Until Proved Guilty) replaced with the EU's totalitarian Corpus Juris (Guilty Until You Prove Your Own Innocence . . . whilst locked up!) ?
I certainly don't which is why I am resolved that we MUST leave the EU as soon as humanly possible and in a manner that is total, complete, irrefutable and irreversible without massive change and the need for referendums.
We must leave the EU
We must restore the British Constitution and establish it in firm law
NO DEAL is now the only tangible way.
