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

If Leave ever held the democratic high ground, Cummings and Johnson have surrendered it with this act of cowardice.

They are in deadlock about May’s deal that doesn’t mean the nation wants a no deal
It means there has to be another deal but there is no alternative deal .

How you jump to no deal that will cause damage of whatever scale you believe is totally wrong imo.

Great news is for the 48% we are still in Europe at the moment with absolutely zero damage to our country.

No dealers want to risk hardships onto our nation. For what exactly? and for what plan?

We have three on here that have had the guts to come out in a direct call for a no deal

Will you ?

I've said for a long time (Stroller will know) that the only way forward is no deal. If we go that route, there's a very high likelihood that there will be a deal, because the EU will start talking again.

I'd rather have a deal than no deal

I'd rather have no deal than have this embarrassing Parliamentary impasse go on after October 31

Try getting insulin, or HRT treatment, or prednisolone, all of which are marketed abroad and are currently in short supply, even though British companies are trying to stockpile...The dark forces have already realised that they can make a killing in November if they limit the market now

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.

I agree however what is being played out to the media however its not what is really happening behind the scenes however

That’s three howevers
When the seagulls follow the trawler ...

The pin-stripped, ****-rich bankers of the City of London were overwhelmingly Remain. They are quaking in their Mayfair properties that a No Deal may affect their gross bonuses. But they have a new champion. Jeremy Corbyn
Wrong. Following Brexit and no deal there will be fiscal dumping and the real beneficiaries will be the rich remainers. Loose / loose situation for the average leaver.

I know of people personally that are having issues getting supplies of insulin and prednisolone. What Beth days is 100% right.

Accusing those of us aware of the issues of needing "tin foil hats" just shows there's really no argument against what she says.

If you say so mate.
Just for your info....we haven’t left yet.

That is the WHOLE of my point Stainsey. We haven't left yet, but people are already manipulating the situation so they can make big money out of the suffering of the less fortunate. Think what it will be like when there are hold ups at the docks or airports. People will be be forced (if they are monetarly able) to pay well over the odds just to keep themselves healthy and alive. Some people cannot afford to............

I can live without my occasional avocado as a treat... but many people cannot live without insulin or prednisilone.

And this is just a small, small area about something I know about. I do not know what will happen when the input of steel stalls or microprocessors from Germany stop coming or Oil stops flowing or Electricity from France suddenly costs 50% more due to tariffs
