    It doesn't sound that scary... (unless you're a bedwetter).

    are you on drugs? business adjusting to a global embargo like Brexit? how did it work last time that happened? you know during the war, it was an economic success for sure !!!

    look at globalization and how businesses have adjusted? how did it work for you? is that why you have to live now in Korea instead of England like the majority of young English people do with skills?

    As I surmised sometime ago, whereas the poisonous Goebbels-like antics of BoJo's SPAD, Cummings, might have been seen to be cleverly immoral but acceptable behaviour in hoodwinking a gullible and stupid electorate into voting for Brexit, his strategy in pitting the howling mob against the oldest parliamentary democracy in the world is not getting the same adulation and is backfiring on all fronts. He is looking more and more Gollum-like as the weeks progress and failure upon failure is heaped on his master BoJo.

    In the end, you have to have something to offer and this ERG rabble have nothing in their locker except cheap rhetoric, a vacuous doctrine and political failure. From the DUP to the EU negotiators, from the dumbest northern twat to the dimmest Devon/Somerst yokel, from mainstream Tory backbenchers to maverick Labour nutjobs,everyone now is beginning to realise that Brexit was not a political force of any merit, but was simply a dribbling wet fart discharged from the rump of the flabby right wing Tory dinosaurs reaching the end of their withered public lives.

    No one wants this government and the next GE will kill it dead. Brexit is Ebola, there is no cure for it other than eradication.

    What a shame that the 50+% of the voting populous who voted for Brexit, and continue to want it despite endless propaganda, won't just vanish into thin air... How inconvenient...

    They weren't born Brexiteers, they were deluded into it by demagoguery, lies and vacuous rhetoric. The truth will set them free from the chains of credulous naivety and when the scales finally fall away the Brexit movement will be seen for what is a, a bigoted, cynical, racist cabal serving the interests of corporate shills, the xenophobic and Putin.

    ~ 52% of 72% of the electorate would be more precise.

    ...with no indication of whether that figure still holds true 3+ years later, and it wasn't a referendum on 'no deal' in any case.

    Why wouldn't any BREXITer welcome Ref2 to confirm their superior numbers, unless they feared the result.

    What would be the effect of Parliament saying we cancel the previous referendum? It would be the end of confidence in the UK political system. Where would it end. SNP keep having referendums until they obtain a result in their favor and immediately there would be a call to cancel that and vote again. You can't stiff the electorate without very severe repercussions.

    French champagne makers stockpiling in UK to avoid 'Christmas crisis' after Brexit

    It is claimed there is enough champagne stockpiled in the UK to meet demand for at least a year and avoid a Christmas shortage.



    Whatever hardships a no-deal Brexit might inflict on Britain, a champagne drought will not be one of them, according to French makers of the drink.

    Producers of the sparkling wine say they have been stockpiling large numbers of bottles in the UK ahead of potential disruption if the country leaves the EU without a deal on 31 October.

    Britain is champagne's largest export market, ahead of the United States, with a share of 17% and the UK imported a volume equal to 26.8 million bottles in 2018.

    Champagne makers' trade body CIVC has not revealed how many extra bottles have been shipped to the UK, but spokesman Thibaut Le Mailloux said: "Growers and houses have overstocked in Great Britain to fill a possible border closure if it were to occur."

    Wine critic Antoine Gerbelle said there was enough champagne stockpiled to meet British demand for at least a year.

    The president of French champagne maker Taittinger said "the English have loved champagne for 300 years and, Brexit or no Brexit, they will continue to like it".

    they didn't really need it in the first place, gave those loons any right-wing cause and they will follow them blindly

    next cause, promote concentration camps for illegal immigrants as an alternative to hard Brexit

    An agreed withdrawal from the EU, which was claimed to be straightforward and without any adverse effects. Yellowhammer suggests a withdrawal without an agreement would not be too clever.

    ^^ Oh dear Betty. Still believing polls that are conducted to achieve the wanted answer...

    Representative democracy not populist democracy, the one that has served the UK well for a number of centuries.

    I will ask again, what would happen to a country that put percentage income tax to the vote and allowed a no tax option. The no tax win would effectively destroy the country but you would allow it and try to implement it. That's how foolhardy no deal brexit is. The May agreement is not a lot better and so we are left with the option the majority don't want.

    Stop trying to defend a bad option just because a majority voted for it 3 years ago without enough information. At least have a confirmation that it is still the wish of the majority.

    Fine - all the information is available now.

    No Deal Leave Today or Remain.

    But, the remoaners have already said: 1) they won't accept the result if they lose; 2) No Deal Leave won't be offered because they know that'll win big... The only referendum the remoaners accept is one with two questions: remain or remain. They have proven themselves to be liars and cheats time after time - they want another vote because they lost the first one, but won't accept the outcome unless they win, oh, and they don't want an election either because they might lose that too...

    Until the losers start accepting they lost, get over it and move on then we have an ongoing saga because a minority endlessly behave like children throwing their dummy out of the pram.

    Betty, you sound desperate and trying to claw desperately on that vote 3 years ago as it was Gospel,

    people change, the world change, and Brexit has certainly changed England like never before

    time for a new REF on the matter,

    ^^ A lot of comments about those 'orrible Turks and East Europeans, considering afterwards when so many deny immigration was a major factor.

    The point is, it's just a forum thread with the same people arguing their side. That thread or this thread will not make the slightest bit of difference to what will happen.

    Maybe some Brits here will have changed their minds and vote differently if there is a second referendum.
