The simple thing with brexit is just simply to dis-continue.

I had an outraged tory poster berate me for the 'post-brexit disaster world' caused by me voting labour.

I replied that there could not be a post-brexit disaster world if there was no brexit.

Simples.

No reply of course.

Are you (and others) raking up the anti semetism thing because the Labour conference went well and you can't think of any critiques of policy.

Lots of apologies online for the final solution gaffe if you look.

Hahahahaha. Yeah. From the Grauniad of all places....a stopped clock, and all that:

Oh, yes. Sure. We're "raking up the anti-semitism thing". I mean, this comes entirely from a vacuum. No, nothing to see here. Perhaps you need another whitewash to clear the party's name, hmm? Another peerage for a job well-done? Maybe Livingstone can write it up this time? About time Labour rewarded him with a peerage, right?

PS: The journo in the article is a woman - go do your thing, Labour thugs.

The prominent lawyer Jessica Simor QC, from Matrix chambers, has written to May asking her to release the legal advice under the Freedom of Information Act. Simor says she has been told by “two good sources” that the prime minister has been advised “that the article 50 notification can be withdrawn by the UK at any time before 29 March 2019 resulting in the UK remaining in the EU on its current favourable terms.

“Such advice would also accord with the view of Lord Kerr, who was involved in drafting article 50, of Jean-Claude Piris, former director general of the EU council’s legal service, and of Martin Selmayr, a lawyer and head of cabinet to the European commission president.” She says “there is no time to waste” and adds: “It is important that this advice is made available to the British public and their representatives in parliament as soon as possible.”

Is Brexit really cut and dried?

Yes, unless you want a civil war.

Afraid so Nick the whole article explains what COULD happen if we the people decide otherwise by that date.
I think the non brexit people would be clutching at straws trying to reverse the decision.

As a "remainer", I have to agree with Susmik et al here. Although I would expect a media operation that would make the antics in the general election look like an exercise in utopian fairness and balance if the tories went ahead and tried to reverse the Brexit decision, it would be the final death of the illusion of representative democracy in the UK and political suicide for them.

David Cameron has a lot to answer for in committing to the referendum to shore up his short-term power base and the likes of Boris, Nige and the frothing-mouth elements in the media are equally culpable.

What's more likely is an ongoing campaign of stalling and pleas for extensions / limited exemptions until after the next general election, when the next government will have to take all the fallout whichever course of action they take.

They're still advising the Gov on a way out if they want it. That's the issue. But if you want to engage in patheticness, fill yer boots.

I'd agree with all of that apart from the criticism of Cameron in this regard....though we know why he did it.

Now I've always been a heavy critic of Camerson and the blue rinsers in the party who put the pretty boy ad man there....I was a Davis fan myself.

But on the question of the referendum on the EU.....This was a vote that had been delayed and denied for decades....The constitutional changes to the EU relationship had been undergone by both Tory and Labour parties far beyond its original conception and a referendum vote on leaving or remaining was most definitely in the democratic interest.

What I have learnt since about the outcome is just how a proportion of people within the country actually don't really care much about democracy. I'm not arguing here about those who criticise the prospect of Brexit....But I am criticising those who are seriously suggesting that the British people should have continued to have been denied a vote on this massive constitutional reality.

Self determination should be a fundamental......The EU isn't much interested in that...as its support for the Spanish government's action attest to.....as its urging for second votes when ever a vote against its integrationist ideas occur....as its happy acceptance for no votes to actually occur about its state at all.

For a teacher,I would think you would have come across the word irony.
Why should she go against a majority decision,that's what democracy is all about.
Whether it was right or wrong,that's what the winning side got what they voted for.

And on a side note,you really are the king of " if it doesn't suit my agenda",you snip at everyone who doesn't agree with you,yet when someone pulls you up...you come out with patheticness...ha ha ha.

And pray tell why anyone should take notice of that shower of trendy"Islington dinning set lawyers" at Matrix chambers.

Good work Sherlock. Does this mean the research they quote is null and void?

I notice how you have a knack of putting words in peoples mouths? But I'll answer. Probably not 'Null & Void' but very likely heavily Biased.
In much the same way that If someone who worked in the Oil industry said global warming didn't exist.
