At least I am grateful for my job so I can be ready for the crash. It's folk like you that I feel sorry for (not you particularly, you're a racist shithead) but folk in your position who live on benefits. It's all out of your hands really. You have to take what you're given.

The immediate act of crashing out is gonna be very tough on benefit claimants' purse strings but the following years of people like Mogg and the new secretary for welfare who are hell bent on, if not dismantling the welfare system then certainly freezing payments and for those on disability benefit....Gawd help you.

So yes, I'm ready IF we crash out. More than ready. As for you, well I suppose you can only hope the next government take pity on you.


Deficit in Funds?
OK Nibble i take pity on you for being totally clueless :dunce:

Ireland is in perfect agreement with 26 other countries, so why should they help Britain?
They haven't started this, nor do they want it. They don't have to be realistic.

The arrogance of the British think they can break an international treaty ratified at the UN, just because they can.
You could help Britain by falling in line

So what happens to the border if there's no deal?

Are you suggesting that the EU gave a positive response in private prior to the proposal being made public and then changed their opinion today?

yes, as an unpalatable but practical solution. its not happening now so who knows what's next.

Where are you getting this from? The non-papers were sent 9 working days before the 'proposal' and were immediately kicked out of the park.

They weren't around for 'weeks' and weren't 'acceptable' to anyone. I'm sorry but your post is complete and utter bollox :facepalm:
how's that Norway style Brexit going that you were so confident about , also have you given up banging on about tariffs as well ?

I am also coming to the conclusion that we will end up with a second referendum. But where does that get us?

Let's say it goes 52:48 to Remain. What then? The Tories and Brexit Party will be mobilising to try again to Leave. Right wing nutjobs out on the streets.

I voted to Leave and if I had LOST the referendum I would have just accepted it and moved on. Many other Leave voters would have done the same. Why? Because we believe in democracy. We had a democratic process and I believe you have to accept the majority decision.

I voted to change the voting system some years ago. I lost and the country is lumbered with FPTP - and look at how well that has worked. But I haven't been marching on the streets to overturn a decision that was made democratically.

Yes, I think we will end up with a second referendum and Remain may well win. But where does that really get us other to make a total mockery of our democracy?

Now who's going to be first with the "thick racist fascist" riposte? Ready.........Steady............GO!!!
The problem is caused by the each side trying to totally vanquish the other completely.

I fully believe that 48%/52% of the vote does not give 100% of the say.

A compromise is the only long term solution.

Leave the EU, re-join EFTA, stay in the CU with paid for single market access until such a time ( 10 years +) as a Switzerland type deal has been negotiated, or we decide to stick with the EEA access arrangement.


Bad losers, bad winners, and 'winner takes all' are the 3 real 'enemies of the people'.

So true BV, so true. It requires a high level of EQ

As you can't give me an answer, you've just proved my point. (Don't forget, LV needs to be realistic! [emoji3])

Varadkar is being realistic as he's taking Dublin's legal obligations under the Belfast and Anglo-Irish Agreements seriously, whereas Johnson seemingly couldn't care less about London's.

Mnnnnnnaaah.....

I think Boris is confident he is in a win win win situation. Were I a leaver I'd be quite relaxed right now. Instead I'm disappointed. Oh well.

You don't know what is going to happen any more than I do. Enjoy the point scoring on a football forum.

C4 news, apparently the chair of the Brexit Steering Group at the EP was expecting proposals about watering down the Backstop, and they were prepared to move with that. Johnson's proposals have come as a bit of a shock apparently

If there is a second ref I actually think you need 2

All the options on the first one

The top 2 on the second.

That way you can actually see what the people want.

If there's a no deal Brexit, the border situation will be worse. LV needs to be realistic.

And the deal leaves the ERG to decide in the future whether the border situation goes back to square one.

Do keep up.

Bloody Worthing!
I know both sides might fall foul of Selective Memory Syndrome but as we totter towards the edge of a cliff largely because of the Irish border issue, I'm trying to recall anyone in the 2016 campaign spending a second yet alone a minute on this. Did no-one see this coming? I can see why the Brexit camp might have been happy for this to escape the radar, but surely someone from the Remain camp might have anticipated such an enormous issue?
