Is Brexit actually going to happen?

My beliefs are my beliefs.

ah! you ARE a fan of the mayism

People in Congress have already said no trade deal if gfa fucked with. And no deal fucks with gfa. A trade deal is not in the gift of trump

It'll take until well beyond Trump's tenure to make any kind of deal anyways.

 

[philosophical]

How?

That is their problem.
However in order to be a bit helpful I would advise them to stop using the term 'backstop' and use the term Good Friday Agreement instead.

 

[philosophical]

Leaving no doubt and leaving the country to the likes of philosophical

Lol.
'The likes of'.
No superiority complex there then.

 

[danny la rouge]

That is their problem.

I don’t mean what should the solution be. I understand you think that’s up to them. I mean, by what mechanism should voters come up with a plan and get it implemented?

I’m all for direct democracy. But we don’t have it.

I am not a fan of Theresa May.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Hey philosophical have you ever voted in an election - General or local - where you didn't end up a loser?

well spotted.

he'd be very unhappy if he had.

 

[philosophical]

He couldn't sort out his books by author so sorting out the border by Skype is something of a big ask

Yes it is a big ask because I don't have Skype, or Facebook or twitter either.

easily resolved: Skype | Communication tool for free calls and chat

we already have a sufficiency of muppets

A surfeit, even

Depends how winning and losing are defined.

 

[cupid_stunt]

Copied over from the polling thread...

Majority of Britons support 'Brexit by any means'

"A ComRes opinion poll showed 54% of respondents said they agreed with the statement: “Boris (Johnson) needs to deliver Brexit by any means, including suspending parliament if necessary, in order to prevent MPs (Members of Parliament) from stopping it.”"

You voted for the winning candidate

That is only Skype.
Not the others.
I am kind of surprised you have urged big business on me, but I am going to decline.
For the reasons that I don't want to associate with Bill Zukerberg or whoever, and my technical skills are limited.

 

[philosophical]

You forgot to add 'it is what it is'.

 

[philosophical]

You voted for the winning candidate

Did I?
When?

 

[Steel Icarus]

Did I?
When?

Did you ever vote in an election for a candidate that won that election?

If only someone hadn't helped philosophical register with this bulletin board, all these insights would be lost to the internet.

it would have been one of the occasions on which ignorance truly was bliss

 

[philosophical]

Did you ever vote in an election for a candidate that won that election?

Yes.
Won the most votes then yes.
Won in terms of doing what they thought they could do is more complex.

Thanks for the compliment, but please no more, I am uneasy having fans.

Like with Brexit?
If you've ever voted for a winning political party it would be unfair to level their many disasters at your door personally for voting for them. You're trying to do that with people who voted Leave.

 

[philosophical]

I must have misunderstood your post which contained a link to a big business.

 

[Steel Icarus]

You must have an incredibly unperturbed existence.

Rest easy then.

Yes I am.
It is because I see the referendum vote in a very particular way, and it wasn't supposed to be for a particular party but a particular action...leaving.
If it was party political maybe it was about leave voters aspiring to get into bed with a party politician like Boris Johnson.
