Re: Brexit: The Naked Truth
Words matter Darth.
You want to believe that people want Brexiteers dead. So you do.
Fair enough
Like you say, we got far bigger things to worry about at the moment.

Re: Brexit: The Naked Truth
The Polly Toynbee article is a strange one, because she quotes an article by Charles Moore that she clearly hasn't read. (Nor had the headline writer, which is why the headline doesn't represent the rest of the article.) Moore doesn't recommend that Brexit supporters boycott the proposed second referendum; he speculates as to what would be the result if they did, but makes no recommendation.
The problem with the second referendum is that it appears to be asking a completely different question. The suggested options to the follow-up question appear to be likely to be May's deal, or Remain. There will be no option to leave on sensible terms - the only option for leave will be under a deal that everyone (apart from May) hates. That is obviously an unfair question.

Some of us have been banging on about our “first Informed referendum” for most if not all of that 3 years as some of you know so I very hope the It comes to fruition.
By the way for any Little Englanders that still want us out I am assuming that if the referendum vote now will be to stay, where will you be emigrating too?
A) Stay In.
B) Leave.
The sooner we get this organised the better as there will be no “relevant” reason not too.

It's not an editorial, incidentally. The BBC reporter has used the wrong word. It's a commentary.

Re: Brexit: The Naked Truth
All things said, the best thing now is to take May’s deal after the EU offer more concessions tomorrow. It’s naff, but it solves the NI problem and gives reassurances that other solutions can kick in to stop the backstop.
Thinks its too late for that deal now Crosspool.
But who knows?

Exactly. We are well informed what the EU is like, and we are well informed that there will be no deal coming from them that the House of Commons thinks we should support; so why put it on the ballot?South West Claret. wrote:Further more the “first informed referendum” should consist of the original questions

That fine.
Its definitely a trend!
Would you like me to bring up all the twitter posts (and there are a hell of a lot) from brexiteers who are also massive racists and homophobes, or who want remainers shot for treason?
I don't, because I recognise that its nowhere near the majority.
This is pure Ringo btw. And like Ringo, you don't come out of it well.

You see when a guy claims "I have the fortunate habit of always being right" is proven wrong. It shatters the lofty holier than though delusion.
Back to your point.
Remoaners clearly have a ghoulish fetish about the passing of leave voters. You pointing it out simply holds a mirror up to them.

So they can't keep asking for another one, especially as May can't keep asking for votes on the same deal she's tabled before..
Also, I thought legally we can leave without a deal regardless of the parliamentary vote on it recently?
I could be wrong, but if we don't agree one and the EU don't grant an extension then we can literally leave as we are.

I think, in the nicest possible way Sid, that your expertise on every single topic on here is wobbling slightly.
Changes can happen so both Mays deal and others can still be proposed.

No, that is quite correct, we leave on March 29th. But a "No deal" has been rejected by parliament and the its not what was promised and would be a disaster, so everyone is trying to avoid it.Also, I thought legally we can leave without a deal regardless of the parliamentary vote on it recently?

Ok then.
As for this, I'm well aware of my shortcomings in knowledge, but then again the experts were shown up when the world didn't collapse after the referendum so I'm in good company it seems.

Claim
Before the EU referendum George Osborne claimed up to 820,000 jobs could be lost within two years if Britain chose to leave.
Conclusion
Correct. Mr Osborne did claim this. He was referring to Treasury analysis which said the worst case scenario following a leave vote could increase the number of unemployed people by 820,000.

Hope not. It's good news that it might mean the tactics of delay and confusion will stop on 29th March. But knowing how much our MPs like delay and confusion, I doubt that.
