Most people were for staying in the Common Market - it was Tony Benn and the unions who were against.

If it had remained just that, ie a Common Market, then I have no doubt the result of the 2016 referendum, had there been the need for one, would have been to stay in it. As has been said many times, what we voted to stay in back in 1975 bears no resemblance to what we voted to leave in 2016.

Of course, but in 1975 there was no single market, Mrs Thatchers achievement. (The pic above your bed!).

Yes I voted stay in 1975, the way the things changed out of recognition is a shame - there are those within who'd like to see it even more Federal than it already is - not for me and I'm very glad we're nearly out.

A very respectable couple I work for have a full gimpsuit and Maggie T rubber mask none too well hidden on top of their wardrobe in bedroom.

on a more serious note, I would have shot her in the 80s, now I've given up & regret my labour ways and would welcome her back if still alive to push a full brexit through.

Mrs T was an implacable foe of referendums 'demagouges'.

The idea that she would ever entertain brexit is laughable.

You bigging up Thatcher in an argument. Now I have seen it all.
Just concede and save yourself further humiliation.

Brexit will be a disaster by definition, as Westminster are running it.

From The authors of Universal Credit we bring you more of the same only 100 times worse and never to end.

I'll certainly try not to worry about Italian bond yields.

I think I will find that quite easy............

A dramatic day for brexit as the PM gets tough over the calorific content of pizzas.

That will show Johnny Foreigner we mean business.

After the latest rumours I think she should change her song from Dancing Queen to Hotel California. Brexit feels like you can checkout anytime but you can never leave.

Brexit Speculation:

A big week for the PM I am interested in what you think is going to happen, whether you are a remainer or leaver. Note this is what you think will happen not what you want to happen.

I start with the assumption the deal means we stay in the customs union for a minimum of 3 years.

My speculation:

1. Some cabinet ministers will resign.
2. DUP say they will vote against the deal.
3. Labour and other parties say they will vote against the deal.
4. PM is told if she doesn't withdraw the bill Tory rebels will force a leadership election. She does the maths and realises they have more than 40 votes (doesn't mean they will win but they can call a leadership vote) she decides to plough on.
5. She loses the EU deal vote in the commons and Corbyn calls for a vote of no confidence in the government. Tory rebels are told to vote for May or face losing a GE. Tory rebels agree to support the government's no confidence motion provided May steps down afterwards.
6. Tories just win no confidence vote and May announces her resignation. Britain is heading for a no deal Brexit with a new Tory leader.
7. The EU petrified that a staunch leaver will be the new leader offer concessions in the hope this will persuade the Tories to vote for a soft Brexit leader.
8. The whole saga continues ad nauseum.

A lot of speculation there and light on facts. Over to you.

Dead right.

It is important though for us to realise that brexit is a UK issue of zero interest to anybody else.

I have just had the fundamental realisation that brexit doesn't matter a toss to anyone outside the UK.

How I envy the rest of the world.

Ireland trade and border. Plus whole EU to lose large percentage of funding. Likely to affect Euro and Pound badly.

You know you could move and breathe it permanently Steely.

You could join the joke ranks of that Holer who complained bitterly about Brexit and the right wing and then moved to Austria.
