Brexit: What do you think will happen?

[M.C]

Every news network (still) seems to be saying something different, but apparently the EU's perspective on this is that although we can revoke article 50 at anytime, extending it would require a good reason like a general election.

I think hope even the staunchest remainer can see how revoking article 50 would be a bad thing*, and cause a major backlash, but as I said before it's mainly a question of how they fudge the 'democracy' angle.

Well. I've just dropped a note through my MPs door saying about how so many people are clueless and don't even know what's happening, let alone understand any of it. Perhaps there'll be a "Brexit for Dummies Guide" on the government website. Shrug. Bit late now.

Val I'm neutral politically. I also bear no grudge towards you. But...

Have you ever been dragged off the factory floor and forced to be present at something like that? I have. I was on bonus and losing money by the second. I also wanted to go to the toilet but they wouldn't let me because 'security'. I was not a happy person. It wasn't a simple attend whilst the speech happened either - I was interviewed by security and literally forced to attend. I was in the room for over two fucking hours.
It was fucking Tony Blair - I hated the man before he became famous to the whole country..

Article 50, illegality and all the other treason bollox. MPs etc are (mostly) protected in parliament. They're given extra permissions to push boundaries and overstep things - it's how it works that's all.
Do you honestly think that should May do something 'illegal' they'll lock her up? Do you think she cares if she does something 'illegal' and she's struck from office? Nah - she's going home with a fat cheque, mega pension and lifetime security is May. She doesn't give a shit what she does - her real job here is to delay and stall things.

I think Val's idea of democracy is that we ignore referendum results, in which case there isn't any point in ever holding one

Anyone seen the video doing the rounds of Channel 4's epic fail called "Bexit Inbetweeners"? Should bring a bit of humour to a dark subject.

In typical Remain propaganda style, Channel 4 and Snow try to create a show of young people bashing leaving the EU, but seem to have an audience of people who want to leave.

Quite funny seeing Snow desperate to push his agenda.

"So you're all leavers?"

As I recall, the 'advisory' aspect was buried in a Parliamentary Briefing document and was never spoken of until - surprise! we voted the wrong way. The government's own leaflet was discussed in Parliament and its clear statement that, "We will implement what you decide" wasn't disputed.

Val can make the argument of it not being legally binding, he is accurate. You can and in fact do argue this is a technicality yet it doesn't falsify his claim.

Do tell me the point of holding a referendum if you ignore the result then?

2.5 years on and it's the same tired arguments
