It's what we want that does. Who judges that?

The government or Parliament?

You know my answer!

The problem with this logic is that “we” consist of “I” and “you”.
How is public opinion ever judged?

I trust you mean that Johnson's project is "shyte"!

I came across this article from 2016 whilst researching how Article 50 is actually implemented. As it comes from the "European Law Monitor" I think it probably approaches things pretty objectively, as the other articles there seem to confirm. I think it's worth reading now as it seems to be the blueprint followed by the ultra Brexiteers. Many of the claims identified there as untrue are now held, and repeated endlessly as fact, by those who support a "no deal" Brexit. As the "leave" campaign was masterminded by Cummings who is now masterminding the Johnson approach it isn't too hard to see the common thread.

Whatever your view of the EU this kind of approach to informing the people needs to be condemned. Employing a propagandist to mislead is resonant of the 1930s.

Having perused the 'Link' I have concluded that one can be stunned into slack-jawed somnolence perusing such typical remainer hogwash.Festering pots of cider have more fizz than what I have read.Bitter remainer humbug.

17.4 million people voted to LEAVE - Get over it !

No mention there of George Osborne's statement that if the leavers won the vote the economy would collapse straight away and he would have to have an emergency budget

Hear Hear!

A forensic examination of the remainer propaganda failed to reveal any such "Collapse".

An unexpectedly strident post. Is the end of the Willo tether being reached?

There is still an option for the UK to stay in and negotiate its concerns, it may be a better time than when Cameron tried it.

Article 50 would have to be cancelled, the EU cannot stop this.

That would keep the UK at the top table, undeservedly so and importantly with its veto intact.

Then off to the Brussels boozer with all our old mates.

And endless jokes about Spurs....

I do feel that the general public have come to the end of their tether with this failure to deliver Brexit.

It would have happened already if Johnson and his ERG mob hadn't kept voting against the deal his own party had got.
