Not sure I believe that the backstop is the only problem with Parliament voting through May's deal. But a plan is basically something that recognises the mutual incompatibility of leaving the UK whilst maintaining an open border with the EU because of the gfa. A solution should have been found before the referendum was called or article 50 invoked. Otherwise we're committed to achieving the impossible.

Agree with your assessment of automation, but a successful Brexit will trigger other countries wanting to follow us. I agree that at the stage we're at, any action in attempting to prevent the world going in the distopian way it's heading is a fairly long shot, but it's better than giving in to it.

I think the point is that we made it tough for ourselves by not acknowledging how difficult it would be and planning accordingly. Alternatively you can just blame someone else. After all we aren't nasty & self serving are we? We're lovely and cuddly.

It is inevitable, and therefore I'd rather not waste my time working against it. I'd rather work with it and prepare for it, get ahead if you will. That will be far more beneficial than getting any temporary, misguided sense of satisfaction or 'at least I did my bit' from throwing an acorn at a charging elephant and subsequently being trampled. Again, on this specific topic, I just don't see the logic in trying to change something you have no control over. Your energy would be much better spent elsewhere. I do see the logic if you've become indoctrinated into thinking you can actually make a difference. Or if you are successfully attempting to create an organised, coherent global movement/revolt against the system.

When France and Germany broke post-war bread with the aim of restoring sustainable peace, we were rightly supportive of this partnership. But it has morphed in an all consuming, bullying, anti-democratic monstrosity. Even the disgraced, pro-EU sycophant Tony Blair admitted in 2014 that: 'The EU is no longer about peace, it is about power'. We must take this opportunity to leave now.

Power corrupts and wealth dictates. In the post atom bomb world, a desire for more unity and ultimately, a virtual world government has become a realistic goal.
