Just for once it would be nice the hear some criticism of the EU from the Remain side, I'm not holding my breath.

"Four legs good two legs bad" (repeat).

An unusually forthright Angele Merkel who clearly has had enough of Brexit and the UK.

Unless the UK revokes then hopefully it is over.

It is more likely an extension will be offered, but 3 months is no help, really at least 2/4 years are necessary to let the UK have its elections and referendums.

A fundamental independent review of brexit to discover what its aims are and if they are deliverable, as most normal businesses do before a new project.

To be fair, I am not sure the EU deserve any criticism. Look at it from their point of view. They are an organisation in crisis. Their single currency project has proven to be disastrous, they are beset with 'populist' movements who want to throw collective spanners in the works and then the UK decides to up sticks and leave. The result on June 23rd 2016 was a HUGE blow to them. Massive.

And they have to look at the bigger picture which is essentially trying to keep the rest of their Union together. Hence why they had no choice but to try and f*** us over from the beginning. That I get. Strategically they had no choice.

What I struggle with is why our own politicians have played along with that. Our ire should be kept firmly on those who share our nationality.

A clean break Brexit should have been the default position from day one. No ifs, no buts, no pretence that a deal could be obtained. Just a simple understanding that whilst a free trade deal would be a great thing to achieve, it was highly unlikely to happen. And to be fair, the EU dangled that option.

I have nothing but the utmost respect, at least in terms of the politicking involved, for the EU in the main. My own disgust really is with Varadkar. A stupid, vain man in my opinion who failed to grasp that when trying to deal with a border issue which involves 85% of your own exports having to cross, as opposed to less than 0.5% coming the other way, then perhaps you might need to be a tad more accommodating.

But instead, that chip on the shoulder came to the fore and now he is right in the s***. Because the Irish border, in the greater scheme of things, is merely a blip to the UK.

I suspect that when the vast reams of analysis are written about this entire s***-storm then poor old Leo is going to come out badly because he has not played his cards well. All very well trying to show off to your European friends but when your entire economy is effectively dependent on us nasty Brits continuing to buy your beef and dairy products along with allowing your exports to cross into a country with a modern infrastructure, pissing off Downing Street is not the best of tactics.

But fingers crossed this can all be sorted out.

And who the phuck would you see as "independent" at this point?

If he is still the PM, which is a big if, then I agree he might try, the likely candidate being Hungary. However, just imagine what might happen after that. The pressure put by the other 26 on Hungary would be intense and the consequences of them not falling into line could be severe for them.

There is no replacement no one in their right mind wants Corbyn running an interim Government, so not really a big if.

Intense pressure ? why would the EU member states do that? The only reason I can think of would be to force us back to the table, which kind of tells me the EU is hell bent on us staying. Why would that be do you think ?

As for the consequences to Hungry comment that just shows that you also see the EU as a playground bully nicking everyone's lunch money

Should it succeed what would happen? There would be a period of "no deal" but also a vote of no confidence followed by a GE. Could he win that then, with the reality of a "no deal" being felt? If he didn't win the GE then a new government could try to suspend the "no deal" by reapplying and starting the negotiations again.

Which all sounds very doom and gloom, however you are forgetting the 17,500,000 that voted to leave will more than likely vote for Boris, so any attempt at no confidence and calling a general election would in all likely hood blow up in the remain camps faces, which is why Steptoe has declined the invitation all ready.

Much more likely in my view that he would try to avoid such a scenario and allow the extension to happen, blaming the EU, Parliament and the Flying Spaghetti Monster for causing the "people" all this trouble.

Yes 17,500,000 thousand people voted to leave, and the remainer's in Parliament continue to do there level best to thwart us leaving the EU, something which remain gloss over in their "scenario's" which lets be honest are based on pure speculation and nothing else.
