Since 2016 I’ve always maintained that I didn’t want any of those who voted for Brexit to suffer the consequences, just as I didn’t want remain voters to either.

Reading some of the scoffing at no deal warnings and the obnoxiousness towards those leading in our industries and in government, who are making the warnings and are saying they’re very serious, makes me think that those who are adamant on pushing no deal and dismiss the information presented to them actually deserve it.
I can totally sympathise with that view tbh, but I think that some of the remain lies/exaggerations of the past are to blame for these genuine warnings going unheeded.
 
whichever way it went that would not be the end - the rift has been opened and will take some closing. Lets say Remain come out on top. Do you think Leave will fall in line?

That risk is live for all options on the table. What we need now is certainty.

Whomever loses can campaign at future elections for their will. The issue will cool down. If you look at graphs of voted concerns over the past 30 years they EU was minimal until UKIP got a bit of traction

Agreed mate. Come No Deal I will be getting the popcorn out and waiting for the usual suspects to regale us with their tales of woe as jobs go, as the cost of living goes up as cars get repossessed - sounds harsh but I am afraid there have been many who genuinely are too stupid to understand or wilfully dismiss as they don't want to know the truth and if its the worst case scenario they will find their champions - Johnson, JRM etc comfortable enough to ride it out or living in France or Gibraltar telling them they just have to keep a stiff upper lip because they are British...............even their cheap trainers from abroad will have gone up thanks to the collapse in the pound.
 
Lib Dem have to campaign on revoke. They need to break clear of Labour as the remain option and this could well do it.

If they return a parliamentary majority, as is the political backbone of our country being a parliamentary democracy, with revoke as their main policy then that is a mandate to take forward and stop Brexit immediately.

Yes, exactly. I still think that, if push comes to shove, Labour will have to argue for revoke too. If not, they will implode as a party. That leaves the tories to decide what they want to do. Pushing for Brexit now will guarantee defeat for them and spell the end of the party, I suspect.
 
How is an "exit" of potentially a matter of weeks more disruptive than a no deal Brexit? And it provides certainty!

Because any ‘no-deal’ would only last a matter of weeks anyway. The UK would be back cap-in-hand asking for a trade deal. To which the EU would reply, “of course we can discuss trade, just after you sign the WA which we spent 3 years negotiating and drawing up” - no deal isn’t the end, it’s the start. But we would be starting from a very weak position. The EU know this, as do our politicians but ours are just pretending it is not the case

Behave - those things you call exaggerations/lies are what will come to pass thus causing their issues - if it happens it wouldn't be a lie now would it?

Quite possibly but that was Cameron and Osbourne who quite frankly are the biggest pair of cunts going for calling that referendum, in the manner it was done.

I don’t think exaggerations/lies on the remain side have touched a fraction of what leave has done.
 
Pure and utter scaremongering about a no deal Brexit being disastrous for the country, nobody has a scooby.

It is a matter of fact that in a no-deal scenario that tariffs would be imposed. As a result the UK will lose jobs - that is not scaremongering, it is a consequence of an action

Whatever happens the next 8 weeks will be the most frightening but also exciting politics seen outside of war time, in any of our lives.

There is no certainty and won't be for ages. What don't you get? Deal or No Deal we then enter into a period of months probably years negotiating trade deals with the EU and the rest of the world. It will both cool and heat up at times but the idea this ends soon is laughable.

Well we might get to see on Oct 31st, everything is up in the air re this no deal scenario, it needs sorting asap and all parties need to come together and stop the back biting.

You'll have seen from my posts what I want to happen. But if I don't get what I want then at least the issue of leaving/remaining/leaving with a deal is settled and we can move on to whatever happens next. Even the Benn Bill just kicks that can down the road for a few more months. We've had 3 years of this now. The impasse needs to be broken.

My biggest concern is that on the day labour announced two policies that would genuinely change our society we end up debating the machinations of some power hungry etonian aristocrats. That's your problem, not remaining/leaving.

Either way we have years of this now - fucking years of neighbour against neighbour - colleague against colleague and family feuding. And the country poorer. Mega.

I honestly think there's about a rizla width between them. The fact that remain has never had the confidence to just say yes - these things might be better if we leave, but on balance the EU is ok, is at least part of the problem.
