    Who's exploring option 6 and locked Mr Sausages out of Speakers Corner?

    What the Some gormless, has prevented me from posting on Speakers Corner.

    And it's quite hypocritical given their very rude and gratuitously offensive posts directed at me remain unexpurgated.

    Poor show all round.

    Nope. Have, current tense. Difficult to judge the future, especially with brexit. Stop making things up to suit your argument.

    Indeed. Yet so many remainers seem to believe their predictions are facts.

    Dominic Cummings tells MPs: you've missed your chance to stop no-deal Brexit

    PS are too late to prevent a no-deal Brexit, Boris Johnson’s most senior aide has said. Dominic Cummings told ministers and officials that the Prime Minister will honour his October 31 pledge even if Jeremy Corbyn and pro-Remain [at]Conservatives succeed in forcing a general election.

    In a series of explosive briefings last week, Mr Cummings suggested that the Labour leader had missed his [at]opportunity to secure an election before the UK’s intended departure date from the EU.

    If Mr Johnson loses a no-confidence vote when the Commons returns in September, potentially leading to a general election, the Prime Minister would have the power to schedule the poll for after Hallowe’en, Mr [at]Cummings disclosed.

    ^ There's something about that article that makes it sound more spiteful than good judgement. I would hope the Tory party is above such antics if a GE is indeed the outcome.

    Antics? You mean delivering something that we voted for over 3 years ago and has been thwarted at every turn by people who refuse to accept the result. Boris has no option but to deliver Brexit by Oct 31 or he and the Tory party are finished. I'm not adverse to Sir Nigel of Farage as PM but are you?

    Perhaps because it was written and published by the BBC. They are biased against Brexit.

    Trouble the BBC and print journos have got themselves into is that if we leave with no deal and the world doesn't end no one is going to believe anything they say or write again.

    and the UK economy is in such a great shape, with a collapsing GBP, falling GDP and raising interest rates

    facing total economic collapse and lecturing others in a self-righteous manner, so frigging British

    British politicians have decimated our industrial sector due to poor policies; not particularly connected with the EU. Unfortunately, in Britain, we fight two groups: the EU and our own useless government. It's hard to imagine Corbyn doing anything other than an absolutely terrible job - even the majority of Labour politicians seem to hate him (although those Blairites are even worse, imho).
    and guess which one is more toxic? EU or your own people?

    EU was trying to save you from yourself, now you will have no-one to blame when you fail miserably in a hard Brexit

    oh please, just fuck off

    Brexit: UK calls on EU to renegotiate or face no deal
    https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-49223319

    EU leaders must give their chief negotiator the mandate to revise the UK's withdrawal agreement, otherwise a no-deal Brexit is "coming down the tracks", the Brexit secretary has said.

    Writing in the Mail on Sunday, Stephen Barclay said "political realities" had changed after May's European elections.

    New MEPs were elected in 61% of seats, he said, marking a "fundamental shift".

    He called on EU leaders to allow Michel Barnier to negotiate in a way that finds "common ground" with the UK.

    Brussels has consistently insisted that the withdrawal agreement - one of two main elements of Theresa May's Brexit deal, which was resoundingly rejected by MPs - cannot be renegotiated.

    We want to fuck off and would have done if Macron hadn't agreed to an extension.

    stop blaming him like a desperate child, he was alone in that meeting against the extension, everyone else had voted for it

    he had no veto power, so the compromise was 6 months instead of the 2 years they voted for

    Yes he did have veto power, all 27 countries had to agree or no extension.

    If Farage ever becomes PM I will renounce my UK citizenship the same day. He is nothing but a vulture picking at the entrails of a dead Tory party caused by the brexit referendum.

    Don't need to make anything up. The facts are all in the open, unless you're determined to hide from them.

    And become a citizen of where? Normally a good idea to have citizenship of another country before renouncing your UK citizenship.

    Indeed they are and they show Germany, France and Italy manufacturing is bigger than that of the UK. All, including the UK, are in decline.

    You having a laugh, he would decimate the economy by taxing business and individuals more meaning everyone would relocate, there would be no one left to tax and we'd be bankrupt with mass social unrest. Ask anyone in business what they fear most a no deal Brexit or a Corbyn government and they will all say a Corbyn Gov.

    You'd go through the process of obtaining Thai citizenship, good luck with that, I'd rather hack my left bollock off.
