Good to see you are still linking to all things EU.

Let's face it you are a secret Europhile.

Absolutely I love Europe.

I went to Poland about a month ago really enjoyed it. Very happy being called a Europhile it's the political institution called the EU I hate.

Leaving was just the start for you B, in 10 years time you will be banging on about the EU even more.

What ought to be the consequences of this bombshell?

1) Another referendum?

2) Just call the whole thing off?

3) Let the MPs decide? (some here would agree with that NOW but not back in 2016!)

I thought for a moment you were being serious then I realised it's just your sense of humour.

It looks like we may have a deal in the next few days but like many Leavers I am worried that Boris will fold quicker than someone who works in a laundry.

By the way it may have escaped your notice but the EU has a major headache as Poland and Hungary are refusing to approve the new budget package and so are holding up the EU rescue plans unless they get their way.

I'd hardly call a survey that gives no database information for this survey, done by an American organisation with a lot of globalists involved in it's work, a good basis for our politicians to reverse the democratic will of the British people.

At the so-called 'brexit' election of December 2019, there was no majority for brexit.

In fact 52% of the vote went to another referendum or cancelling brexit altogether parties.

52% where have I heard that before! Funny how sometimes that is an acceptable figure

Indeed. A bombshell ffs. Can you imagine his view of such a link had it been in support of Brexit.

You'd better panic buy according to the alarmist press. I know Stirling has enough food in his bunker but what about the rest of you?
As an Irish politician once said 'better tighten your belts' (in a seven hundred pound shirt from Paris, of course).

Should it all go pear-shaped and we all know Johnson's record, the government will simply shift the blame.

When the government was challenged on the issue in parliament last year, it claimed it was “not responsible for the supply of food and drink to the population in an emergency”. That is up to “the industry”.

Its’ the same reckless, uncaring attitude that has helped kill 50,000 people in the pandemic.

They are actually non-political and their surveys well regarded and trusted.

Don't let that though get in the way of wanting to dismiss an analysis of the current mood of the people.

I suspect the government won't dismiss it as they close in on the deal deadline. I sense another Johnson u-urn on the horizon and an extension being announced. Perhaps that being the real reason for Cummings going when he did. All speculation of course.

A true Brexit will only happen once strong men stand up, get together and decide to physically remove all our MP's and lords from office. As it stands, I can't see that's too far off.

Brexit committee exposing madness of Brexit

A ham and cheese sandwich coming into Belfast from GB (think Marks and Spencer etc) would need "two health certificates".

But problem escalates if lorry carrying the sandwiches also carrying 10 other types of sandwiches - then all need health certificates.

Deal or no deaL, Brexit will be a bureaucratic nightmare.

Because we don't have farmers who can provide ham or cheese?

Or Britain could simply decide not to bother with any of that - just say that it will then don't. A bit like how every government and the EU really works. It's not like Ireland is going to actually do anything except moan. We've our own pressing issues: the North is not one of them.
There's no 'break a deal, face the wheel': once out of the EU the rules are unenforceable, they are to many who are in the EU at the moment. Apple Tax anyone? Think they paid 81,000 rather than 13 billion - just a slight discrepancy there. Oh well, only Ireland, who cares.

Ironic really that on another thread you Slate HMG for getting expensive PPE which has saved lives.
Some are never satisfied!
When you say 'helped kill' did they make people go out socialising,not distance or not wash hands?
