I never believed that the political spectrum was shaped like the globe and the crazies of the far right are closest to the crazies of the far left, somewhere all together in the middle of the Pacific by the Internation Date Line so to speak. That is until I read your posts Staines, since when I'm coming round to the view that there's a huge crowd of far Right nutters out there, but there's one at least close by who says he's far left.

So, if you’d support a no deal Brexit you must be a extremist crazy? Nice one.
 
Thank you Mr Cummings.

The people don't want No Deal and certainly didn't vote for that outcome in 2016. Johnson has in effect abandoned all pretence that his government is seeking a deal. It's a mockery of democracy.

Leave won the referendum. Article 50 was triggered by Parliament, which envisaged a no deal, if a deal was not possible. Anti-democrats in Parliament are trying to reverse the decision (Corbyn want to campaign for Remain).

Boris is not acting illegally. Get on and Leave. The EU is showing every sign that it will compromise to get an arrangement through. The anti-democrats are trying to sabotage it.

We are a Parliamentary democracy. Anti-Democrats in the government are subverting democracy. You'll be claiming next, as the liar Johnson is trying to do, that shutting down Parliament for such a time is all perfectly normal. Bullshit.

Parliament has had three years to discuss and three votes

What is a national embarrassment is not Brexit, but Parliamentary inability to make any decision. Antidemocrats hope this will result in Remain

Boris's government is determined to deliver what the majority voted for. Good on them.

I hate to say it but personally I think Johnson (or those behind him) might be playing it very clever. Turned the screw on a little bit more on the EU to come up with something.
‘No Deal’ doesn’t mean there will never ever be some kind of deal for us to leave amicably, just that until the 2 sides come up with something that suits both, we’ll keep the money and see what happens. As I said yesterday, ‘No Deal’ should never of been taken away as an option as it would only serve to weaken our hand.

Absolutely right, Stainsey. I have to say it's lovely to see the Anna Soubry's and Dominic Greive's spitting at the cameras at interviews in their frustration. I doubt they'll be around after the next GE

Do you have a hotline to (the unelected) Dominic Cummings? It's no good banging on about anti-democrats any more. Parliament is sovereign, your government is making a mockery of democracy.

If the antidemocrats think they have a case at law, they can apply for a judicial review. But they'd lose it and even they are admitting it.

Parliament is in utter deadlock. The people spoke in 2016. Parliament voted for Article 50 to give effect to the will of this majority. Boris's government is putting into effect Article 50. He has a huge amount of support

Are you number 4 ?
