    I’m torn between thinking there will be a really **** deal compared to what we had that Johnson tells you is great and is therefore declared as some glorious victory as we win WWIII and that they really are going for it with the grift and will go through with it, leaving some poor ****s to be in a really bad place through no fault of their own and a load of flag-shaggers shouting about how it’s the EU’s fault when people literally die as a result.

    Hope you’re right anyway.

    I think there will be a deal. Johnson will cave on the LPF and they'll let us have our fishies back.

    Re fishing, I read that we currently export most of what we catch and import most of what we eat. Bonkers much?

    There is unfortunately no good plausible outcome as someone who doesn’t shag flags or sing Land of Hope and Glory during sex but there is one very **** outcome even if not for me personally.

    You shouldn't keep saying that people who voted for Brexit are some sort of thick racist flag shaggers. Otherwise you are knocking over 17m people? Plenty of thick anti everything British people out there who do nothing but knock the country all the time?

    You shouldn’t conflate people who wanted one of the many vague ideas of Brexit all simultaneously promised four years ago and those still demanding the car crash we find ourselves in now. How many of those 17m can really be arsed with it now? Not all thick racist flag shaggers as you put it at all, but it certainly helps.

    Vague for you but plenty of people here and over Europe feel the same. Even Emperor Macron said if France had a Frexit Vote people would leave. Same in Italy. You are confusing peoples right of choice to your unfounded doomsday view. You don't know what will happen Watford, you are just scaremongering.
    You need to remember the people of a country have one voice, a platform where they can have a say... it's called a vote. If this democratic process is damaged or blocked then the country might as well become a banana republic. Now I understand that you and the likes of Femi, the limps and some others don't believe that people of this country can be trusted to vote 'the right way', however I have more faith and respect for some thick tattooed flag shagger from Grimsby than some of the 2222's I have witnessed over the last 4 years trying to thwart a democratic vote. You and your ilk may have contempt for these people but without them this country wouldn't work. Maybe if all the experts who know better would have stopped siding with the EU we may have been in a better position now?

    Mate, what a ****ing load of righteous nonsense that is. Nobody voted for the mess your party has made of this and people were sold what have been proven to be utter lies to get the vote over line which isn’t what democracy is meant to be. We’re out of the EU, so the vote has been delivered. What a brilliant textbook case study in the stupidity of asking such a simple question for such a complex issue.

    The economic damage and deaths will be on your lot. You can own the growth, reduced inequality and improved health of the nation that results directly from Brexit too if it happens to go that way to go along with all the other benefits of Brexit.

    I'm glad you have a crystal ball. Weren't we told if we didn't stay in the ERM we would all be broke 5 years later?
    Sorry mate you don't have a Scooby about what's going to happen. You take your political view add your negativity to it and come up with disaster. Heard all this argument before and we are still here. Best to come back when we are not.

    Will be difficult to come back when we aren’t here. Remaining in existence isn’t a great ambition IMO. It would’ve been a less effective slogan for the campaign.

    that's why I wrote that. It's meaning is correct... Let's come back and call it a disaster if it ever is? Until then people don't know.

    So let’s never look at a forecast or plan for realistic scenarios on anything ever again because nobody can predict the future so we might as well blindly hope for the outcome we like no matter how unlikely it is.

    I would like nothing more for brexit to be a success, unfortunately, Johnsons natural habit of lying, his incompetence in the handling of coronavirus, his own parties fears over a 'no deal', his blustering and bullshit just doesnt inspire much confidence in it becoming a success. We will see.

    And for those that don't understand the ’what they really mean’ an Aussie deal = no deal.
    The EU has blinked but I still see a stubborn France and an unpopular Emperor Macron trying to get some popularity for his future election. Germany are as pragmatic as ever. Sometimes you have to admire a modern Germany. I am sure Merkle will ( or already has) told Barnier to sort his life out or she will take over. Deals have already been signed to keep things going however both sides need to avoid chaos and sign the full deal. I'm not sure why Gove told MPs ’that's it, we are walking’ then I hear Barnier is now coming over? I guess I missed that move?

    They didn't vote for this crock of **** where I live, and a No Deal scenario will hand the momentum to your best pal Sturgeon. I fear this could be the end of the Union if a deal isn't sorted.

    I thought our voting system was together? maybe I was wrong? Sturgeon was going for independence Brexit or not. If the people of Scotland decide to split from us then good luck but they shouldn't expect anymore money. They will last about 5 minutes. The last thing the EU needs is another country that will cost them money. Saying all that I like Scotland and hope the people see that SNP are... well SNP and represent nothing else.
