Is Brexit actually going to happen?

[Bahnhof Strasse]

Wasn't he quoted as being out of work and broke recently?

Didn't understand that, he has his MEP's salary (and gilt-edged pension come March 2019), he has a show on LBC four nights a week + plenty of people lining up to interview him now the Tories are making such a dog's dinner of Brexit.

 

[DotCommunist]

there was a Mail reacharound that took the angle of nige going 'I'm middle age, single and broke'. Bullshit is he broke.

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

The guy actually has no shame.

'my mind is actually changing on this'

Nigel Farage: Maybe there should be a second Brexit referendum

His mind is only changing on the calls for a second referendum, he thinks that if it were run again leave would gain a larger % of the vote and the Guardian would vanish up it's hole.

 

[mauvais]

Yeah, my first thought was 'bit of a gamble'

That's how we got Brexit in the first place, so why not?

 

[Slo-mo]

I can't see any point in a second referendum until we actually have a deal to vote on.

I think a referendum on the final deal would be a political lifeline to most of the parties. I'm sure the EU would agree to wait for that to happen they could hold it Feb 2019.

there won't be a second referendum as there will be a fudge deal

I tried Yorkshire tea once, but despite the name it's neither bitter nor cheap.

 

[Slo-mo]

Well that's precisely why I want a referendum on the deal, to stop them fudging it!

 

[SpookyFrank]

Well that's precisely why I want a referendum on the deal, to stop them fudging it!

Presumably the referendum question would be: Do you want this fudge or an even more hastily cobbled-together fudge created by the exact same idiots?

yeh. but it's precisely why you won't get a referendum on the deal

 

[MightyTibberton]

May has said that any vote in Parliament will be a take-it-or-leave-it on the deal with the default answer being "Brexit with no deal" hasn't she?

I do think Farage is playing personal games though. I very much doubt that he's anywhere near "skint" in any normal definition of the word, but I also doubt he's anywhere near as rich as he thinks he ought to be.

 

[Ranbay]

May with nothing going on anymore says somethig to try and stay relevant shocker....

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

If that were proposed the EU would just state that terms of the trade deal are that the UK has access to the single market upon paying £700m a week and taking 100,000 Romanians an hour.

 

[Ranbay]

And i mean that about Badgers also.

The Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union today attacked the EU for “unfairly” ensuring they are prepared for the no deal Brexit he threatened was a very real possibility.

Speaking today, Mr Davis said, “Myself and other Brexit supporting ministers have been consistent in saying that no deal is better than a bad deal. It’s kind of my motto.

“Indeed, many of my erstwhile colleagues have argued that we should just leave the European Union today, without paying them a penny.

“So you can imagine how furious it has made me, finding out that the European Union has taken these comments and actually begun to prepare for such an outcome, should the things I said might happen, actually happen.

“It is unfair. It is not something we have prepared for; in fact we haven’t prepared for anything at all, and it is that state of unpreparedness that we assumed would be mirrored by the Commission.

“This is typical of EU bureaucrats, diligently going about their business, doing their jobs, and ensuring they stand up for the remaining members of the EU.

“There are a growing number of instances where the UK is now being treated differently. Treated as if we are about to leave the European Union.

“I didn’t want it to come to this, but if the EU continues to act professionally and show us up for the incompetents we are, the UK government will be forced to implement sanctions against them.

“We have a lot of leverage, with the banning of the exports of homemade jams being the nuclear option.”

If we do have a second vote, i think it should only be the for people that could be bothered to vote in the first ballot.

How would you police that?

He's lost the crowd completely. If you click on this you can see his followers tweeting their incredulity and suspicion that maybe Soros got to him too.

Voting records.

what about people who wanted to vote but were too young?

Yes give them a vote too.

 

[Pickman's model]

Yes give them a vote too.

that shows a good spirit

 

[sealion]

Should have stated that anyway

 

[sealion]

Reading the comments in todays guardian article, he seems to have gained some new friends to level things up. The liberals have now got a soft spot for ' the nasty little racist'

 

[Slo-mo]

Voting records.

Do we keep such records? If we do we probably shouldn't.

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

Should have stated that anyway

And folk who were banged up in June 2016.

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

Do we keep such records? If we do we probably shouldn't.

Yes they do. Each person has a number and it is ticked off when they hand you the voting card.

No record of how you vote is kept of course, as no one can know unless you choose to tell them.

I take it you're posting with your Brexit-favouring hat on there ....
