Well done Craig.
Honesty can be hard but fair play to you.
I used to drink in the swan as lived on shrublands.
Me n my mate could get 5 pints of krony each for a score.
Then a long walk home.
I miss my youth but seeing where you are brings it back.
Thank you.

Know the Swan well not been in there for a while though was run by a bloke called Mick last time I was there. Palace pub but not really my cup of tea. Kept a good cellar though. Not really my manor anymore I have to say. Just in the middle of moving to Oxfordshire where we've got family and have lots of work.

On their own that seems true but the UK Parliament can do much more than just cancel, so long as the EU agree to it, which is very likely as they too don't want a "no deal" exit.

So long as those opposed to a "no deal" get their ducks in a row, and don't get hung up on the political infighting, we should be able to get some sense back onto the table, install an interim government with the specific aim of asking for a further extension during which a GE can be held, and a new Parliament elected.

As the primary issue in front of the people at such a GE would be whether they still wanted a Brexit and if so what kind, we can be sure that would deliver a clear mandate and the MPs to see it through.

I don't see what anyone has to fear from such an event, excepting those MPs who would lose their seats and my expectation that it would result in a hung Parliament which might take some time to resolve before some kind of compromise is worked out that the EU would accept.

It has though to be better than this rush to commit suicide.

Critical days for our democracy lay ahead.

Yet you wasted 2 minutes of you're time responding?
Actually I find most of your responses drivel at best & contradictory trolling at worst.
All if most of the Government data released has been so off kilter in their predictions that know wonder people are so sceptical.
Me I have a business to run so can't be arsed spending hours on here responding to every critique.
May I suggest you stick to Carabao & Crown Green Bowls because I'm willing to bet that your predictions of doom, gloom & food running out & the other myriad of crap you think will happen erm' actually won't.

I wonder if that would actually suit Corbyn as well as Johnson. Corbyn is currently in a bind but a GE after 31st Oct gets him off the hook. He gets his GE which he wants but after we have left. He can then point the finger at the Tories for Brexit whilst claiming the votes of the Remainers?

I must admit I do not understand the position of the waverers it doesn't seem logically. They are saying we must take no deal off the table yet the EU is refusing to re-negotiate so if they are sincere the only options are May's deal which has been defeated 3 time or a no deal.

Until the EU show a willingness to compromise no deal is the only logical option assuming you respect the referendum result.

As for the Tory Remainer rebels if they side with a unity government they will be expelled from the Tory party and most will lose their seats at the next GE. Ken Clarke may not care as he is 79 but how many of the others are prepared to bin their political careers?

I still think Johnson will get a no deal through by a very narrow margin and then call a GE at which point he will wipe the floor with Corbyn.

Ridiculous, they would never retire to the Red Lion too down market for the likes of them. You may have a point about the rest of your statement.

My "predictions of doom and gloom" aren't mine at all! They are where the consensus of export opinion lies.

Actually I am far less worried about the short term issues. No doubt there will be some disruption but we will muddle through as we always do. Where there is a will and way will be found.

I am much more concerned about the long term implications of separating ourselves from the EU regulatory regime and the power that such a big organisation brings to trade agreements and in world affairs. The regulatory regime aspect of this is hardly ever discussed but is actually one of the biggest downsides of us leaving.

The latest look at the odds suggests that Brexit is most likely this year - well duh! - but then odds for a post 2020 Brexit are still not massive at 6/5. I suppose it's as result of it being uncharted territory.

Also a 2019 No Deal Brexit at 13/10 is still seen to be less likely to happen than a Deal at 4/7 even this late in the day. Will the EU buckle, or BoJo? Or No-one? It's worth stating that the NO to No deal odds include multiple outcomes though - a ratified withdrawl agreement, and extended article 50.

Do you include Mark Carney who changed his mind?
