    I'm suspicious that was the pact Johnstone had with Farage....you withdraw your candidates and reduce splitting the vote, I'll fabricate a no deal

    I feel your pain. Nothing we can do. All we can do in this one is sit back and watch the car crash.

    Unfortunately the car crash involves us and all our loved ones....

    Possibly, although I think this was Johnson’s plan for a while.

    The way I see it is that Corbyn was Puel, Johnson was Pellegrino.

    With Puel you would get boring stability but no-one would be happy and the other is a buffoon and clueless.

    The country actually voted against it 47% to 53% in the popular vote but our **** electoral system came up with a Tory landslide. That is the real tragedy.

    Moaning about things is not unfortunately going to help. We have to accept the bad with the good. Let’s not be the reason things fail let’s at least give it a go. At least then we’ll have something genuine to moan about. <laugh>

    Same for me.
    I would sooner live with years of impasse and arguments, safe in the knowledge that we were still part of the EU, being protected by it’s standards and having freedom of movement etc, than have what we now have.
    I really think that big business will fill it’s boots at the expense of the workforce, whose rights are under serious threat.

    I know what you mean, but now the voting’s done and dusted we don’t really have much choice but to accept the results, and try and make sense of what happens next. I’m sure we won’t have to wait long for something to fail!

    Not to mention that my retirement plan to Spain will not happen now, owing to freedom of movement ending with Brexit.

    Don't give up on it Badge, check all the criteria for residence and see what applies to your situation.

    Boris Johnson is going to pass a law making it illegal for councils to trade or deal with anyone who boycotts Israel.

    The world is going to hell when a nation tricks the world into thinking it is racist to oppose its policies...
