Interesting stats from Pew Research:- [Link] 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!)

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!)

(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.

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). Red and Blue Army!

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.

Originally posted by becky 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. 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.
