Brexit slowly becoming a Farce.

No it's not.

It's a moot point anyway because the youngsters don't carry cash these days.

Seriously though, a fifth of the total tax take isn't something something that can easily be scrapped. Your Farages etc were using this line pre referendum as well. Another massive piece of bullshit they used to win over the hard of thinking.

Most seats:  

Labour 5/4    

Conservatives 9/4  

Brexit party 4/1 

UKIP   8/1  

Change UK 12/1  

Lib Dems 25/1  

Greens 100/1   

Value has to be on Brexit party at 4's who're standing in 70/73 areas ( not NI).

Make up your own punchline.

Looks like the Tory zealots are using this weekend to pile pressure on May.

They may be correct that many Tory voters will feel betrayed if Brexit doesn’t happen soon.  I wonder how voters as a whole would feel if these people were able to expose them to the clusterfuck of a No Deal Brexit.

Just as well we won’t find out.

Can May ask the HOC to vote between her deal or remain to force her deal through now that no deal is off the table?

Is that not how it works?

What do you reckon is going to happen GD?

[John Lambies Doos]

I feel like the UK ruling out no deal is a bit like me running straight at a wall and ruling out hurting myself

Did they though. I thought the legislation only forced TM to ask for an extension if she couldn't agree a deal before 12th April?

If it's true that the ERG are demanding a VOC in Theresa May then what happens next?

She tells them to GTF, they called one in December and lost so they have to wait a year to do it again.

They can't for another 8 months. They spunked far too early.

The biggest betrayal is the 48% who voted Remain being ignored for the racist tail of the Leave campaign.

I watched Mogg’s interview on Sophie Ridge this morning.  The one question that he and his ilk should be getting asked in every interview is “do you realise the the present Conservative government is a minority government?”

Why?

It's a petulant and irrelevant question other than to have a wee meaningless ego-driven dig. You get a few minutes to interview these guys. Why spunk a minute or so on childish nonsense?

They may be a minority government but there isn't another option right now. I don't see any other groups working together to produce a big enough mass of MPs to take over from them do you?

I forget how thick you are until you post and remind me.

Its a central question because Mogg et co act as if May can simply implement their interpretation of the Conservative manifesto.

Even if every Tory MP voted with her there’s no guarantee that would happen because it’s a MINORITY GOVERNMENT.

The manifesto was roundly rejected. I don't hear Brexiters going on about the need to implement the dementia tax because it was in the manifesto.

We had a GE because of Brexit, the GE was about nothing else.

One here for all the psychologists on these threads, ( I know there are quite a few)

I've mentioned this before during the past 12 months or so, since I came to live in the north of England. 

I seem to frequently encounter sinister mutterings from Brexit supporters, involving threats of violence if Brexit doesn't materialize. 

Why don't I hear similar threats emanating from Remainers if Brexit does materialise? Will they just quietly and peacefully accept that situation?

Probably because they lost a democratic vote.

I’d ignore the sinister muttering, that’s all they are.

The 2 main parties had nearly identical policies on Brexit, 82.3% of voters did not choose Brexit. The vote was about the lesser of 2 evils.

Getting a proper Brexit on time should have been a penalty kick after the GE election, I reckon we'd still be fighting for independence if we'd voted YES, I'm sure we'd all be quite happy just staying in the UK if we'd voted 52/48 YES, there's no way these pages would be full of tears and snotters from all the ragers if that was the case.
