"They’ve already started blaming the EU. You only have to listen to Goves latest comments. You’d think it was the EU that decided to leave the U.K.." Yep. This. Nobody's fault but those who voted Leave; who, as we are constantly reminded, knew what they were voting for. Which means the government should stop looking for someone else to blame and lay the responsibility where it actually lies. | |||

"EU, MEPs and most of our MPs well all labour MPs anyway are all on holiday. So things must be ok and nothing to worry about, if there was our so call MPs would be dealing with it. Got to laugh at our so called parliament. " Remember it is only HM Government that can recall parliament and BoJo is already exploring ways he can prorogue (dismiss) parliament in order to force a no deal brexit through without parliaments agreement. Of course the last time that was done was in 1642 by Charles 1, sparking the English Civil War which concluded on January 30th 1649 with his beheading on a scaffold erected outside the Mansion House on Whitehall. Maybe someone should remind BoJo (and his mates) of what happened to the last man who circumvented parliament to get what he wanted | |||

Why because most are not even in this country, but first to cry that they being left out. Still as long as they are having a good rest, everything is ok ffs. | |||

"so whats the answer? the uk parliament wont vote for the withdrawal agreement with the backstop in it (voted down 3 times) and the eu wont change it.If either side is not willing to talk then thats it no need for blame just walk away. " IMO the UK has to find a new position. Say what it wants not just what it wants. But back to the OP, has having no deal on the table helped move the dual the way many have suggested? To date, no. | |||

"The correct way would have been to go to the EU the following week and say, soz my lot have voted out, not what I would have done but hey ho, were leaving in six months once we've prepared to do so, if you wanna chat about a trade agreement, you know where I am.

"so whats the answer? the uk parliament wont vote for the withdrawal agreement with the backstop in it (voted down 3 times) and the eu wont change it.If either side is not willing to talk then thats it no need for blame just walk away. " How many times does it need explaining? "Just walking away" will not in any way, shape or form help the UK in the short, medium or long term. Right now as members, we retain at least some leverage but once we walk away and voluntarily put ourselves into a weaker position - any leverage that there might have been evaporates. The UK cannot afford to not have a trade deal with the EU because they are our closest neighbours - but no trade deal will be discussed until the underlying principles of a withdrawal agreement have been agreed. The more desperate we become - the more one-sided the future negotiation becomes. Let's be brutally honest here. "Walking Away" is a cataclysmic failure of British politics and Negotiation. It is an admission of complete failure in the hope (and nothing more) that something might happen in the future. This country will have failed to negotiate a Withdrawal Agreement with a friendly bloc who will remain our closest neighbours and trading partners. What fucking hope is there going to be of negotiating beneficial trade agreements with hostile nations? NONE | |||

They'll have to find a solution that fits both the republic and the North. Devolve border control and customs to the northern Irish assembly and get the parliament back up and running, offer Northern Ireland British overseers territory status where there in charge of there own borders but have freedom to travel between the two parties. As far as most people in the UK are concerned it's a local issue between the island of Ireland anyway. | |||

" Question: who was the last PM to prorogue Parliament? Answer: John Major " Not what I asked, but wrong in any case. I suspect you are referring to the accusation that John Major called a snap general election and prorogued parliament a day early to bury a damming parliamentary standards report into Neil Hamilton selling parliamentary access to Muhammad Fahad which was the'cash for questions'scandal. Now let me point out the facts for you. Firstly parliament is prorogued every year usually in March for a week or 2 before the State Opening of Parliament. It is also prorogued when a general election is called. So your claim that the last time parliament was prorogued was in 1997 is clearly wrong. Secondly, when Major prorogued parliament it was for the legitimate purpose of holding a general election and although dubious ethically it was not to directly subvert the will of parliament. thirdly I will point out that both Hamilton (the cause of the scandal) and Major (the PM) were Tories and the election was called because a judgment was made that calling the election would cause less damage to the Tories that allowing the report to be aired in parliament. This time BoJo, his fellow brexiteers and the ERG are not proposing calling a snap election as they no longer have that power due to the fixed term parliament act. What they are proposing is to prorogue parliament and keep it shut down until after the 31st October, thus forcing us out of the EU not only without the consent of parliament, but against its express instructions. To the best of my knowledge the last man to do that was Charles 1st. Finally I will point out that the 'cash for questions' scandal came close to breaking the Tory party in 97 and I suspect that will look like a childrens tea party when compared to the bloodbath facing the Tories if it does turn out to be as bad for the country as many think, especially if BoJo forces us out without the support of parliament. Guess that's why BoJo, Gove, JRM and all the rest have moved their businesses and money out of the country prior to brexit. | |||

As we're finding it also costs a lot to be out of it. And that's before any inflationary increases from tarriffs or knocks on tax receipts from lower gdp (even leavers seem to be conceding theres some hit coming especially under no deal.) Yes the eu export more than we do. But you don't just look at the chips on the table to see which player is sweating the most, you look at what is left behind. We have 40% of our chips down. They have something like 8%. Sure its bigger in pound amounts. But they have deeper pockets. And finally you can be proud and vote remain. But pride doth butter no parsnips. If attitude is all it takes, one wonders why we didn't just take a more positive attitude to being in the eu. It's a nice sentiment. But singing ones national anthem loudest doesn't overcome a lack of ability. | |||

Every MP, be they members of The Commons or Lords has to take an oath of office before taking their seat in parliament. That oath is very clear and it does not mention the electorate at all. Fact is it is an MP's sworn duty to be faithful and bear true allegiance to The Crown (state). Like it or not if an MP votes against their conscience to appease their electorate they break that oath. | |||

" Likewise, when the electorate vote in a democratic way such as they did to leave the EU, I don’t imagine for one minute they thought that whatever the outcome of their vote, it wouldn’t be exercised because MPs didn’t want to break this oath. Are we really to believe that we will be governed according to the personal belief of an MP and not by a democratic decision we made? It seems that way with your interpretation! | |||

"I do not think so in this circumstance I am correct of course it is being twisted by self serving polititions who are ordinary elected people in the main You may not think so but I am stating fact. Every MP, be they members of The Commons or Lords has to take an oath of office before taking their seat in parliament. That oath is very clear and it does not mention the electorate at all. Fact is it is an MP's sworn duty to be faithful and bear true allegiance to The Crown (state). Like it or not if an MP votes against their conscience to appease their electorate they break that oath.

It was an advisory referendum. We are leaving the EU. Brexit has proven once and for all the democratic is a sham and an illusion. | |||

A great post . The voice of reality. No deal simply means the best possible trading relationship for the UK. The EU will still be our closest trading partners and we will simply carry on trading with them, but on different terms. On a simplistic basis those who support no deal are UK citizens who have their countries best interest at heart. Can you imagine trying to buy a house and telling the buyer that you would buy it regardless. Only a fool would do that. At least we now have a cabinet who are putting the interests of the electorate first and fulfilling the results of the referendum . | |||

It's really interesting to see how far detached some people are from the reality of the world around them. People often asked, "what needs to happen before leavers will see that they're wrong". From a purely scientific or phycological perfective it's interesting to see how far this will go. | |||

"I disagree with your interpretation,many do" Then you disagree with settled law. You may also believe that the world is flat and was created 10,000 years ago, many do, they are also wrong. By the way, I will remind you that one of the reasons put forward by the leave campaign was to return power to parliament, not to the PM and government. However we now find the people who led that campaign are now demanding that parliament be ignored. As for those who say MP's should do as they are told, that is not nor has it ever been how parliament works. It is the duty of MP's to do the best for the country, if we (the electorate) don't like the job they do in our name it is up to us to vote them out of office at the next general election. One final point, if the referendum had been a legally binding plebiscite then the result would have been voided by the courts on the grounds of fraud, but it was not therefore they do not have the power to void the result and it is a decision for parliament (that is what the judges in the supreme court said). Everyone should be asking themselves why these Tory politicians are so determined to force us out of the EU while at the same time transferring their businesses and wealth out of the UK and into countries remaining in the EU? The only logical answer I can come up with is they are all betting against the UK and have their chubby little money-grubbing fingers firmly pressed down on the scales to ensure they win at our expense. | |||

"EU, MEPs and most of our MPs well all labour MPs anyway are all on holiday. So things must be ok and nothing to worry about, if there was our so call MPs would be dealing with it. Got to laugh at our so called parliament. Remember it is only HM Government that can recall parliament and BoJo is already exploring ways he can prorogue (dismiss) parliament in order to force a no deal brexit through without parliaments agreement. Of course the last time that was done was in 1642 by Charles 1, sparking the English Civil War which concluded on January 30th 1649 with his beheading on a scaffold erected outside the Mansion House on Whitehall. Maybe someone should remind BoJo (and his mates) of what happened to the last man who circumvented parliament to get what he wanted" Or even Cromwell in1655. Maybe he see s himself as a modern Cromwell. | |||

"Or even Cromwell in1655. Maybe he see s himself as a modern Cromwell. " i had forgotten that little bit of history. Thanks for the reminder. You may well be right and if so it explains why he has such a hard-on for restarting the sectarian troubles in NI and forcing those European Catholics out of England and if it does cause the NHS to collapse all the better it can be sold off to those hard working puritan exiles in the American colonies. "They know how to treat the golliwogs, piccaninnies with watermelon smiles and Muslim women who look like bank-robbers and letterboxes! And we can play wiff-waff 'On the road to Mandalay'... Appologies to any who feel offended or insulted by the above, I am reminding us all of exactly who our Prime Minister is and things he has said in public, on the record, while in high public office. | |||

You never gave any facts ,, this does by the looks of it seem to be your trait on here What you said in the Race Hate thread was: 'Hang on as your a couple am I now talking to the pretty one as opposed to the brainier ( term used very loosely) from the other day' In other words 'the woman must be stupid'. And Trump was the racist you were apologising for. .... Lol so your purely guessing I meant the woman was the pretty one and not the brains?? Sounds a little sexist to me, but that’s up to you I guess And I’m not apologising for trump or anyone, you said he was racist, I asked you what facts you had to back it up and you had none If I remember you tried to say that trump said that all Mexicans are rapi$!s and I proved to you that wasn’t what he said then you started getting all funny and defensive Please love not hate " iven your profile lists you as a straight male I'm pretty sure you who you were referring to as the less intelligent one.

Sounds a little sexist to me, but that’s up to you I guess And I’m not apologising for trump or anyone, you said he was racist, I asked you what facts you had to back it up and you had none If I remember you tried to say that trump said that all Mexicans are rapi$!s and I proved to you that wasn’t what he said then you started getting all funny and defensive Please love not hate iven your profile lists you as a straight male I'm pretty sure you who you were referring to as the less intelligent one. And no, I never said Trump said all Mexicans were r*apists. Your stance was that because he didn't say that proved he wasn't racist. At that point I didn't get defensive I just decided two could play at that game and mirrored your own behaviour. Lol really lol Well judging by the first part it sounds like I’m talking to the pretty one again, and that you may of had a drink tonight No you said your proof that trump was racist was because and I quote “ How about you start with his relatively recent comments about Mexicans being rapi$ts and work back from there. “ and I showed you the whole comment and explained how it wasn’t racist ,, my stance wasn’t so that proves he isn’t racist ,, it was more about that particular comment wasn’t racist and that you were wrong, and you were I asking if you had anything else to try and prove he was racist and that’s when you started getting stroppy Feel free to go over the thread again to see but it might be worth waiting till the morning Ha. Who's the pretty one? And I have plenty more but as I also pointed out previously you'd swear black was white so why waste my time explaining your errors?" Lol not the one with the brains obviously I said if you can provide a fact that he is I will change my mind, but I haven’t seen one yet and the one you mentioned certainly wasn’t so until you do I’ve no reason to think he is Love not hate | |||

"so whats the answer? the uk parliament wont vote for the withdrawal agreement with the backstop in it (voted down 3 times) and the eu wont change it.If either side is not willing to talk then thats it no need for blame just walk away. " The answer is simple. Just cancel article 50. | |||

"Throw the DUP under the bus and sign up to a backstop for NI only. It's an insurance policy for the Belfast Agreement, one that only comes into play if the rest of the UK begins to diverge from the single market after the 2-year transition and no alternative arrangement for NI has been found. Unfortunately, it has been weaponized by the extremists on the Tory benches whose sole objective is to sever all links with our neighbours." As far as NI is concerned the DUP have the most MPs and anyone who believes in democracy will follow their decisions and guidance. The residents of NI are very loyal to the UK and do not wish to be treated any differently to the rest of the UK. It is interesting to note that you want to throw the DUP under a bus . | |||

"Lol the people of NI voted to stay in the EU. The backstop is consistent with that and the GFA. The DUP are the ones who want neither. Dump them in a shitpile where those maggots belong." I bet you would not dare say that to the face of any DUP MP. At least the DUP are representing the interests of the residents of Northern Ireland . In addition they secured an extra £2 billion of funding for every resident of NI. At least they are putting people first. Even Sinn Fein were pleased with the additional contribution . | |||

If they decide to play silly buggers, we ramp up tariffs on their goods coming in. Sure, they will do the same to us, but as we import more than we export then they will suffer more. EU business will soon make their feelings known to the EU politicians. | |||

"Lol the people of NI voted to stay in the EU. The backstop is consistent with that and the GFA. The DUP are the ones who want neither. Dump them in a shitpile where those maggots belong." I find a slight inconsistency in both sides of the BREXIT argument when it comes to Northern Ireland. The Leave side argue that we should ignore the MPs in Parliament when it comes to BREXIT and only go by Leaves interpretation of the 'will of the people' as expressed in the 2016 referendum. However, when it comes to Northern Ireland and a possible border on the island of Ireland suddenly the 'will of the people' of Northern Ireland as expressed in the 2016 referendum and the 1998 GFA referendum no longer matters and we should only listen to their democratically elected representatives (mostly the DUP). Remainers seem to argue the two opposite positions on the same issue. Both are inconsistent. Either you believe in a parliamentary, representative democracy or you don't. You can't choose the democracy you want depending on how likely that particular version of democracy is going to get the result you want. I personally believe in representative, parliamentary democracy and that the true will of all the people of the UK is reflected and represented solely and wholy by Parliament alone. Because of this I absolutely believe that the duly elected representatives of the people, sitting in parliament, should always be listened to and that no other democratic process, especially referendum and plebiscites, has more legitimacy or is a better representative of the true 'will of ALL the people' than Parliament. In this regard, much as I disagree with them and what they say and stand for, we cannot disregard the voices of the DUP's elected MPs when it comes to the aspects of BREXIT that directly effect Northern Ireland. The people's representatives in Parliament must be heard and must ultimately be aloud to decide this whole BREXIT issue themselves. | |||

"There are 18 constituencies in Northern Ireland. The DUP hold 10. The DUP opposed the Good Friday Agreement and campaigned for Brexit. It seems obvious to me the DUP sees Brexit as an opportunity to drive a wedge into the objectives of the GFA and consolidate the position of unionists within the British state. Were it not for Mrs May's disastrous election call in 2017, which made her a captive of the extremists in her own party and the DUP, the original Withdrawal Agreement may well have scraped through Parliament, safeguarding the GFA and implementing Brexit in a way that was consistent with the majority opinion in NI (remain). " However the referendum was not for individual countries, it was for the UK as a whole. The citizens of NI are quite happy to accept the result of the referendum and in any event wish to remain aligned with the UK. The GFA is probably irrelevant now and is only being used as a tactic to obstruct Brexit. The DUP represent the interests of the citizens of NI. To state the blatantly obvious that is why they were elected . | |||

" I think with even the most basic undertaking of research you'd find that the majority of the voting public in Northern Ireland voted to remain in the EU. 44.2% of people in Northern Ireland voted to leave the EU, while 55.8% voted to remain. The 2 main political parties in Northern Ireland have polar opposite views on the union. The DUP supports the union and Sinn Féin does not. The DUP have the majority on that platform alone most probably and Brexit is of second importance as long as Brexit upholds The Good Friday Agreement. So no I do not think "The GFA is probably irrelevant" as you put it and I do not think the majority of Northern Ireland people would agree with you either. | |||

As you say they are part of the UK (when it comes to our democratic processes) So of the gfa is dead, why have no brexiteers suggested a hard border.

It will then be the EU to instructing Ireland to put up a hard border to satisfy their single market integrity. So it will be the EU that is breaking the GFA." It guess it depends on weather the UK's continued access to the single market and or customs union is part of the Good Friday Agreement. | |||

" “Elections belong to the people. It’s their decision. If they decide to turn their back on the fire and burn their behinds, then they will just have to sit on their blisters.”" But they voted for the GFA, they voted for there to be no borders, for the freedom of movement with the republic to be a primary concern, even if that means special administration processes brought in. So in essence the UK voted for the backstop and brexit. | |||

"I largely agree with the above, but am not sure I wholeyvagree with the idea the DUP are the majority voice for the Irish border. While part of the union, other than devolved matters, we have one parliament. Decisions made about the NI border can affect all borders. So sure, DUP can more strongly represent Irish views, and snp Scottish. But that doesn't mean they have a casting vote on UK wide issues. " I'm definitely not saying that any one party should have a casting or only vote or say on any issue. I am saying that all MPs as group are the best representation of the true will of all the people and none of them should be ignored in favour of some other supposed representation of the people's will. | |||

The only people who will believe that a hard border in Ireland will have been caused by anyone other than those who voted for Brexit are . . . well, the people who voted for Brexit. Everything that goes wrong with Brexit will be blamed on someone else, not those who are responsible for it. Whatever happens with Brexit it's exactly what the leavers voted for
I know this is being sarcastic. But really we knew what a cluster fuck Brexit would, and people didn't care.Dead right it will be better for this country long term.No deal is a bit of a bummer but we will get over it and become stronger.
I'm not sure where you're getting that from. UK will be poorer and worse off in every way in our life times."Oh I dunno. I think in about 40 years we will have got over it. Some of us will still be around | |||

"I disagree A disorderly exit would damage German (and eurozone) exports " Yes, it will. But not nearly as much as Brexit contagion leading to the collapse of the single market. Do I jeopardise 20 per cent of my order book or 100 per cent of my order book? Hmmm, let me think . . . | |||

"I remember that the EU was not going to give Greece any further bailouts. Absolutely positively not. Until they did right at the last minute when it looked like they might have to kick Greece out of the Euro. What it really boils down to is which side is likely to blink first. It was recently revealed that Theresa May NEVER once mentioned any possibility of us leaving without a deal to the EU - which is why we were offered such a shit deal. The EU have taken their hard line about the withdrawal agreement ever since it was first rejected by parliament on the assumption that Theresa may have somehow got it through and are continuing with this approavh in the hope that Boris will give in and because of the stalemate in parliament caused by the undemocratic remain MP's. The truth is that they still hope that we'll change our minds and cancel the whole thing." This is the world that we live in. The previous incarnation of this very same Conservative Govt legitimately and lawfully negotiated the United Kingdom's orderly exit from the European Union. It can be argued now that Theresa May should have played it differently (in fact many people did criticise the way that she played this out). Ultimately though, the responsibility for signing this mutually negotiated and manifesto aligned Withdrawal Agreement was this Conservative Government. It is completely INSANE that the Government is now saying that this same Government (albeit wearing different clothes) did not do the right thing and so we need to start all over again. NO - Take responsibility for what has been agreed. | |||

Back then it wasn't about Greece and who wins the poker game, it was simply to safe the Euro, there was way way more at stake there is with Brexit. Don't think the EU27 are highly impressed with the no deal threat, and this strategy won't result in a last minute deal to the UKs taste. | |||

"I disagree A disorderly exit would damage German (and eurozone) exports " you're right.... german GDP was down 0.1% of GDP last quarter... remember though last week... the UK GDP was down 0.3% so lets not push the "they need us more" narrative quite yet... the UK are playing a very dangerous game of russian roulette... except it's not the brexiteer MP's who stand to lose.... its going to be the common folk out there! | |||
