Why would you put a thrice defeated/ thrashed deal in front of the public? What Boris is doing has to be tried imo. The remainer HOC has blocked progress from day 1. A brexiteer should be given a chance to get a deal and there is a chance that threatening no deal could work. We seem to be heading f...

What a terrible proposal. None of those are any use, especially May's deal, which just about pisses off everyone. I voted leave and would again but would rather remain for now than hand all the cards to the EU. A GE must happen now but labour are worried about the outcome. Bet they wished they had ...

Maybe not, but it's an example of a falsehood or misrepresentation quietly slipped by in an attempt to justify an argument. Far to many of those around.

What I'm trying to say is that anyone who believed and believes that the UK will be financially better off post-Brexit is virtually certain to be someone who is temperamnetally and politically opposed to the EU anyway. I doubt that many people who tend towards liking the EU and thinking that the EU...

The UK government and civil service, lead by the Chancellor and Prime Minister, gave all sorts of detailed and confident predictions of the immediate financial meltdown that would follow a Brexit vote. On the other hand, as you point out, some optimists pointed to intangible and incalculable benefi...

For another, pre-referendum the UK voted to leave for political reasons while the EU wanted us to stay for both political and economic reasons; but post-referendum, the UK wants a financial deal that is good for both parties but the EU wants a financial deal that is bad for the UK. As you and many ...

I'd be happy with an election on the 1st November, it makes perfect sense. Shelve Brexit for a month or two and then use a GE to break the deadlock. As Brexit will be the only real issue in the GE someone should emerge with a consensus be it deal, no deal or remain or people's vote. I would prefer ...

Leave means the just same as when the PM , David Cameron said Leave meant ,BEFORE , everybody voted. Ending free movement of people. Ending the jurisdiction of the ECJ Leaving the single market. Leaving the customs union. Why do remoaners want to rewrite what everybody knew Leave meant AFTER the re...

Rees-Mogg has likely made a killing from Brexit and stands to make a lot more.

That sounds reasonable a ballot paper of remain or 6 different options of leaving. Do you think by splitting the vote youd have a chance to win? As I said to aggi, there is now way of wording it, other than it was, that doesn't undermine leave. Well if all the options were being campaigned for whic...

Don't you also think it odd that with all this talk of regaining Sovereignty of our Parliament the EU are completely powerless to do anything regarding events in the last few days? They way Brexiteers talk, you'd think the EU has the power to control the things we do in the House of Commons. We're ...

CombatClaret

there was no other way of wording the ballot paper, that wouldnt have served to undermine the leave vote. By presenting the many different and often mutually exclusive options all of which were campaigned for (with the exception of a No Deal) at once. Many said it was flawed from the beginning and ...

If you truly believe that, why didn't you say something before the vote, or were you just stupid. Many many people said before the vote that a lot of the thing being promised were incompatible, it was a common cause for concern. I haven't heard anyone who voted to leave saying they only wanted to l...

The red lines were not on the ballot paper, neither was No Deal or Norway + etc.
That's why we're in this mess, because the only thing Brexit means is... Brexit..?

1, The government didn't produce leaked documents of an expected scenario, but a wrost-case scenario done on the basis that no preparations were made.

Hardly a threat. More of a statement - "This deal is so bad that every party in the House of Commons opposes it. If further negotiations don't lead to anything better, or further negotiations don't even happen, then we won't have a deal". If someone tries to sell you a car at a ridiculous price, an...

I’m talking about the two years when Davies was minister and zero progress was made. The actual deal was cut when May realised that the ‘no deal is better than a bad deal’ approach the government was taking was going to lead to exactly that, no deal. The facts are as they have been from day one, Le...

Could you point out just one single occurrence where the leave campaign suggested voting to leave meant a no deal Brexit? Theresa May herself said No deal was better than a bad deal, and she is a remainer. If negotiations had been carried out by some who believed in Brexit we wouldnt even be having...

Combat, you are one of few leave voters who are happy with what has gone on in Parliament over the last 3 years so forgive me if I disregard your comment as trivial Sorry I was playing the role of a leave voter. Just pointing out no deal was never campaigned on, nor is there is no mandate for it. S...

Someone told me in 2016 we've have an excellent free trade deal like Norway or Switzerland, it was Nigel Farage in fact, I never heard about this 'no deal' so I voted to leave. Is that right?

It would not be fitting to let this day pass without posting a big 'Thank You', to Boris Johnson. It has been great to read all the desperate quotes from MPs and others who have been allowed to think they can stop what 17.4 million clearly voted for.

How’s VAR to blame? Didn’t the ref give the pen? Or are we whinging in general? I'd argue that VAR is to blame because it's clear this season they are backing referee penalty decision, so far, 100% of the time. Making it almost redundant with the exception of the offside checks. They said themselve...

For clubs like us, I believe VAR is more fair to us. The big club bias we've seen against us appears to be something that VAR can remove from the game. It's the main reason I am personally for VAR. So when VAR said at the start of the season they would set a "high bar" on overturning decisions, ess...

Course it was a penalty.. VAR check all angles.. it's not a inplay instant judgment decision. Like said above if that was us, we would be fuming if it wasn't given.
