You couldn't make this stuff up
Project Fear has been rebranded Project Vote, and they are re-running the same lies we had in the referendum campaign.
Treasury forecasts, a report from Mark Carney later today, and that will no doubt be followed by the CBI, the IMF, Uncle Tom Cobley and anyone else they can get to weigh in with some anti-Brexit propaganda.
We had the vote in 2016. We were told of the possible economic problems of No Deal over and over again in fine detail, but 17.4 million people gave the government an overwhelming mandate to take us out.
On my ballot paper it was either leave or remain, there was no mention of leaving, but only if we get 'the best possible deal for the British people'. That was spun into the political rhetoric as soon as May got into No 10 and this whole process of conning the British public out of what they'd voted for began.
She's lied through her teeth for 2+years and now she is going against an unopposed vote in the House of commons by not publishing the final and full legal advice on her deal given by the Attorney General.
Spending taxpayer's money on overturning a democratic process, unbelievable the sooner she's kicked out the better
If she's kicked out, there's a good chance you won't get any Brexit at all as no-one will support a "no deal" exit. The EU may be willing to make a few more minor concessions to another leader, but nothing significant - to all intents and purposes this is as good as it gets given the reality of the situation. I honestly don't know what you were expecting to happen once the fantasies and delusions of ardent Brexiteers crashed into how the real world works.
Way back on this thread, early in 2016, I said that it was effectively an In/In referendum as it would be voted down in the House of Commons. Since then I've watched the whole elaborate charade being played out. Brexit means Brexit, no deal is better than a bad deal, etc, but now, after she's purposely run the clock down, we find that the deal on offer is far worse than staying in as it leaves us in a state of permanent vassalage to the EU.
Hopefully it will be voted down by a massive majority and May will walk.
Trouble is there's so many spineless career politicians being worked on at the moment, it could well be only a small majority. If this is the case May will stay on and we will get another referendum IMO. We will be asked to vote for either May's deal, or to remain, and by this time the reality of how bad May's deal really is will have sunk in.
Best case scenario is if my 2016 prediction is proven to be wrong. May goes, we get a PM who actually wants to leave, and we leave on 29th March under a managed no deal arrangement while negotiations continue along the lines of a Canada style deal. The talk of 'the negotiations being over, take it or leave it' is just patronising crap from May, Robbins, and their EU buddies.
Negotiations are only over until they start negotiating again, everything is agreed until nothing is agreed, and by 12th December nothing will be agreed.
