EU Membership Referendum (Brexit)

[Euler]

Press conference about to take place. Fingers at the ready.

[Dallas]

In her opening few lines I thought she was getting ready to resign

[jimibt]

to lay, or not to lay - that is the question

(lay it is!)

[edit] and out on scratch (too twitchy)

[BetScalper]

I think the phrase is “Deadman walking”.

Put your money on no deal and WTO rules.

The UK should not be told what todo by 2 countries who we have had the most wars with. That’s why many voted to leave in the first place.

If the decision is somehow overturned then they better start building prisons ASAP.

Just 1% of 17 million is allot of pissed of people who could potentially do allot of harm.

[to75ne]

that 1% would need someone to unite them and lead them not with words but action; none of the main players seem to me to have to the charisma let alone the bottle to lead from the front and break the law.

Where is Guyfawkes, I blame him and his co conspiriters for failing....

But he got off lightly as his mates were hanged, drawn and quartered while still alive.

He on the other hand slipped on the ladder to his fate, broke his neck and suffered no pain.

That 1% doesn’t need a leader, I imagine they could cause allot of mayhem on there own.

Time will tell....

If we assume all police officers were armed and they had the full backing of every armed soldier then they would still be out numbered by 9 to 1 given there are currently 1.3 million civilians with a firearms certificate (FAC).

Shooters or gun owners tend to be right of centre and therefore more likely to make up a good percentage of that 1%.

Let’s hope that 1% doesn’t turn into 2, 3, 4 or more percent otherwise the country would potentially be in suicide mode.

Hopefully all the police and armed forces are remainders otherwise the percentages and stats get worse the more you think about it.

Could civil war happen again within the UK in the 21st century ? Most sensible people would say NO.

But then, who thought the UK would vote to leave and DT become president.

We live in strange, very uncertain times....

Theresa May under pressure after Gove rejects Brexit secretary job (6 hours ago BBC)

"Larry the Cat declines Brexit job (Twitter yesterday)

"This event starts in five minutes, five minutes" Peter Webb all bloody day today

I've been watching them for the last few years - something to do while waiting on the geegees starting.

I'm going to back Larry the cat for PM.

[Dallas]

This week could be an interesting one for a number of political markets

[Euler]

I've been busy scanning all markets to see what potential there is for some trading positions.

[LeTiss]

Just had a little touch on the Brexit vote - safe to say it's not a volatile market!.........the price is heading one-way, I just jumped on the back

[Jukebox]

There should be some very safe lays on the 106 name list for next Tory leader

[Euler]

It's difficult to see how the impasse will be broken.

Labour won't vote for anything as they want power. It could be a vote for a pie and a pint, but if it doesn't help get elected it's not being voted for.
DUP won't vote for anything unless they get what they want.
The SNP won't vote for it as they want independence but also want to belong to a non-independent Union 600 miles away.
1/2 the Conservatives want to remain
1/2 want a full-blooded departure
The EU wants to make it as difficult as possible so nobody else leaves.

So basically nobody is in agreement about anything at all. Meanwhile, the populace is fed up of politicians bickering and being self-important.

Whoever gets into power next will blame Brexit. So the quagmire will continue for at least 10 years.

[LeTiss]

Brexit was simply a result of the EU, and what they have become -

Look at the events in France, as people call for Frexit - Macron's approval plummets, whilst Le Pen's gathers pace.
Look at the rise of the AfD in Germany
Look at the status of Matteo Salvini in Italy...........he's walking around like a pop star right now

The AfD, Le Pen, Salvini all have something in common - they all despise the EU

Politics is changing in Europe, and Brexit was just a little part of that

[Emmson]

No buyer's remorse here or anywhere.

[ShaunWhite]

the populace is fed up of politicians bickering and being self-important.

And no doubt a few politicians are fed up with having careers ruined by dealing with the bickering and self-importance of the populace.
