Also it would be wrong to say that the problem is recalcitrant labour remainers. It is a passionately anti no deal parliament.

Nah mainly labour Chaps get with it. While brexit dominates, 2 party politics is dead. Remember, Corbyn is a leaver as are most labour grassroots supporters in the midlands and north. Uncertainty makes the story... more interesting.

There were three votes on May's deal.....Johnson, Mogg, Gove all voted for the last one......Labour and the opposition voted against on all three 'deal' brexits. The country voted 51.9 percent to leave....Yet only 25 percent of MPs did. That's why we are here now.....those simple facts. Edited by Stirlingsays (13 Sep 2019 9.40pm)

You are wrong on that one sunshine. As ALWAYS you come out with a load of bull$hit just to satisfy your one sided view. It is quite obvious you have scoured the net for some text to copy and paste yourself just to prove your point. Ok, below is a link to the treaty itself, which I won't pretend to have read in it's entirety as it's long and highly technical. I have scanned it and then read a summary, as I suspect most people have. I am not pretending to have done anything other than copy and paste references. You claim to have read it all. So please identify in the text where it says the very specific things you claim it says:-

The problem is nothing of the sort. It's not "Labour Remainers" at all. It's Parliament as a whole not being satisfied that the arrangements so far negotiated on how we exit provide us all with a safe and secure way to do so. The problem is that we now have a government which refuses to acknowledge that. What happens beyond that is an open question. The 2016 referendum is now history. That some, like you, believe it's consequences mean we must leave the EU whatever the method or cost, is not shared by everyone. Whether you constitute a majority will probably have to be determined at some time.

You are on these boards to make out that you are bright and intelligent and above all others. I have noticed however other posters have noticed like me that you are a "know it all".

You are on these boards to make out that you are bright and intelligent and above all others. I have noticed however other posters have noticed like me that you are a "know it all". I have both scanned it and read a detailed summary. I can find nothing that even comes close to supporting the claims that you made. The treaty is full of legal language so a comprehensive summary of it's implications would generally be regarded as the intelligent way to appreciate what it means. However as you claim to have read it all let's test that. I am not claiming to. I am challenging you to prove you have because from the tone of your replies I suspect that claim is bs. If what you claim is there then point out where. You have read it! It cannot be difficult. If you cannot do that, or try to find an excuse as to why you won't, I will assume, with some justification, that my suspicions are correct.

Why is then other people have read the whole thing and come up with similar to what I have said. It is not hard to see that you come back with BS every time someone posts something that you do not agree with or do not understand. I think it boils down to the fact you are a very argumentative person and can only see YOUR side of any story. If you think I am going to keep answering your BS posts then think again as I have better things to do on match day than that. What I put originally was the easy way to put into words the treaty for people like you that just cannot digest big words or technical language or even bother to read something but instead dispute someone else's post.

As I expected. You cannot back up your bs in anyway so you just resort to trying to insult me. I rest my case as I most certainly have better things to do that waste my time with the likes of you.

Well I didn't mention the Lisbon Treaty.....As far as I'm concerned each treaty since Maastricht has seen unacceptable sovereign powers given away to foreign bodies without the mandate of the public. The relevant point is that everything there certainly will happen if we don't leave.....What difference does it make which treaty includes what? Like arguing over which log goes into the fire first. You entered an exchange specifically about the Lisbon treaty and supposedly what it meant. If that’s your prediction of how things would play out, fine, but don’t dress it up as ‘I read the Lisbon treaty and this is what it said’ because it’s conpletely disingenuous - that’s what I was calling out. It’s some bulls*** copy and paste job from Facebook - no idea why you’re trying to defend it.

I already "ignore" another poster here whose comments are always so clearly loaded with bias as to make me worry about his state of mind.

Of course it was. Also, I’d bet considerable money you haven’t read the over 3000 pages of the Lisbon Treaty, so I’d suggest you should stop making that claim (no, I haven’t read it either, but then I don’t feel the need to pretend that I have).
