Is Brexit actually going to happen?

Will we have a brexit?

A future parliament clearly could rescind the current deal (or any other) if it so chose, provided they could stomach the consequences
Not on its own it couldn't. Haven't caught much of today's twattary, more important things to do but I caught that bit
 
so what? I just think it's funny. No idea whether we will slink back, but the weary smile on Junker's face will be pure meme gold.
Sorry, a bit brusque. I was wondering what you thought the political results of the EU being pissed off at the UK might be? I'd guess nothing much really.
 
I was just wondering about that. If somehow Brexit were averted, what would relations be like between Britain and the rest of the EU going forward. Would we just quietly try and sweep it all under the carpet, or would there be consequences?
How can there not be consequences,whatever the outcome? That’s been the case since the day after the referendum. I doubt we can say any more than that at this point - other than its not going to be any better for us - it all depends where we end up in a few months time and who’s in power.
 
The EU will be fucking chuffed if we slink back; if the UK can't leave no other country will even think about it ---> full steam ahead Federal States of Europe.

Most countries don't have a Northern Ireland situation though. Any country that was willing and able to leave with a hard border would probably have less trouble.

There have already been consequences with agencies and companies moving or registering outside of the UK and announcements of many job losses.

It certainly wouldn't be unreasonable for the EU to get rid of some of the UK's current opt-outs. UK opt-outs from EU legislation

(and notice "The UK is not a member of the Schengen border-free area, retaining control overs its own borders. (Protocol 19)")

They all have borders though, yes there is no GFA but all the rest of the same problems would still exist.
