    Not sure why there is all these posts, it seems clear to me that there is a plot between remain MPs and the EU.
    The Mps, Parliament, will never vote for any so called deal, should the EU offer a different one.
    They have it in law that we cannot leave without a deal.

    The EU will just keep granting extensions, even though they might make noises to the effect that they dont like to.
    But they want our money.

    I'm more and more seeing this as a scam by MPs and the EU to appear to be carrying out the result of the referendum, but at the same time stopping it happening.

    In 30yrs time we might find out the truth.;)

        Well there has been over a thousand landed in Kent from small boats this year up to now, they are not EU citizens but they are people that the leaky EU borders have allowed in.

        @KFF , are you suggesting these people are going to get in their rubber boats, that the traffickers sell them, sail hundreds of miles from France up to S. Ireland and then walk to N. Ireland in order to get into the UK.

        The boats that they have can hardly manage the 21 miles across the channel.

          All this business of our Prime Ministers picking up the "Poisoned Chalice" of BREXIT made me think of Danny Kay in the film the Court Jester.



          Now that's got to make you smile whether you're a remainer or leaver:dunno::heehee:

                The simple point I'm trying to make is.....


                I'll phrase it as a question this time....


                Can anyone name me any 2 independent sovereign states in the World who share a land border WITHOUT any border control..

                ( and before anyone mention the EU..... )

                  I sure can't - however, how many independent sovereign states with borders can you name that have been involved with other states to the point that those other states have decided their laws, and that have paid for significant amounts of infrastructure in those other states?

                    Yes, Lori, it was the "Vessel with the Pestle" in the 1955 film of the "Court Jester" which I saw as a Kid and it has stayed in my mind ever since:hate-shocked::heehee: Danny Kaye:love30::love30: was, in my opion, a pure genius in comedy, and was/still is a Comedy Hero of mine.

                          I think we should have a referendum on wether or not we should have a General Election and get shot of all "Members" who are destroying our democracy.

                            No, KFF, but that again is not the real issue, trading is...........can you name any independent sovereign country that places punitive trading taxes and tariffs on other countries, apart from the EU and the USA. Don't forget that by being a member of the EU, countries in effect lose their Sovereignty unable to control their borders, budgets, political decisions.

                                I think we should, Dai, have a Referendum to see if we should have a Referendum as to why we should have a Referendum to have a Referendum to decide whether or not a Referendum is needed to have a Referendum which would show that our MP's:pathd: are "Referendumb":wallbanging:
