Utter drivel. The entire visual media is pro Euro and they have the biggest influence. That's just your perception. It isn't mine.
They did and they faced an uphill battle. It's always harder to sell the status quo than the unseen promise of sunshine over the hill. The idea that we voted Leave because of indoctrination is so ludicrous that it barely deserves a response. Pay attention! Not you. I suspect you would have voted to leave well before any information was published. However you don't speak for all the 52% who voted to leave so cannot say why "we" voted as they did. It's the influence on the swing voters that was critical.
I am not saying anything of the kind. I am saying that some of the "information" available that way is tainted and not reliable, as has been proven time and again. This is a phenomenon which won't be easily cured but must be addressed. Bonkers. I agree. Your comment was indeed bonkers. So at least you are being consistent.

We are much further down the road now and the deal is not exactly the same. Yes it looks like a few labour MPs are now saying they're going to vote for it. I can see it narrowly passing.

The last line is desperate. Let me put it another way. In 2016 I hadn't really considered that the break up of the UK might be the ultimate outcome but the more I think about it I feel it could be. When I really think deeply about the history of the Union, and the war of independence in Ireland which resulted in it's partition, it seems that Brexit could easily be the plug hole down which it all drains away. I just asked if anyone on the leave side had thought about this and if they agreed that this was a possibility whether they thought this was a price worth paying. Seems a reasonable question to me.

I'm gonna say this once. If BJ gets this over the line and we - at least technically - leave before the end of the month the Tories will regroup and keep power for some time. BJ will have earned it. Labour will implode as all their factions combust corbyn gets ousted and the moderate parliamentary party spend the next 5 years in opposition wrestling power from the fruitloop left. Meanwhile the lib dems moment will have gone and they will disappear into the political abyss. That said things wont go entirely as the ultra right posters on here would hope. BJ works for BJ and he cannot continue to operate as a voice for the ERG and the rest of the swivel eyed loons. They will have served their purpose and will be conveniently sidelined as he pursues an esssentially liberal agenda. Those hoping that leaving will result in the working population moving into a low wage zero hours market living purely to pay taxes to fund their generous pensions and other benefits will be sorely disappointed. Immigration will be bearly touched as most of the economic migrants you detest are non EU and the issue was never free movement or laissez faire regulations but our under resourced sieve like border controls. That issue will grumble on. There is also the risk that us remoaners were right all along and that our predictions of doom were not just project fear. Sadly unless a sensible centrist labour party emerges thank of effective opposition will mean more years of hung parliaments and political stasis. One thing is certain - none of the other 27 would be dondaft as to follow our lead unless there is a clear and obvious surge in our economy and living standards.

Amazing that May's deal was defeated by huge majorities, Johnson was in full cry 'slavery' 'vassal state' etc. Yet now 95% the same and it is 'Johnson's deal'. Enough mugs to support it too, typical 'back end of a fag-packet' UK. Amazing that the remoaners always said voters can change their mind but then get angry when politicians do. I'll enjoy my gammon tonight xx

What has that got to do with my posts? I suggest that you DO get back in your box Wissy and keep your head down....really low!
Supported Palace for over 69 years since the age of 7 and have seen all the ups and downs and will probably see many more ups and downs before I go up to the big football club in the sky. |

Do you not think it could be the emotional link to the UK that caused leavers to vote leave.

I find your post quite insulting as I wouldn't wear anything from Asda even if I was desperate and I certainly don't drink lager as it's a girl's drink Re. lager, a positive. However it is not aimed at you specifically. There are a few uber-specimens on here that it certainly could refer to but as contradictory as you can be you're not one of them. Most are out in the wild, somehow managing to maintain enough cells to generate something that barely resembles an existence.
