People have perhaps realised that we obviously are better together and may be hopeful of future EU Reform which seems likely.

    I could go on?
    The biggest factor by far when it came to determining how people voted was education. 68% of people with university degrees voted to Remain, 70% of those with no more than O levels voted to Leave. That hasn't changed, Rich, so neither would the vote.

    And note Burney's point about how Leave voters are very likely to become entrenched given the way they would feel about their vote having been ignored. How many Leave voters do you think voted Leave assuming we would get a great deal as part of Brexit, or because they didn't actually think we would do it? Those numbers are pretty small, I expect, and more than likely to be offset by a number of Remain voters who have been put off by the attitude of the EU.

    The vote would be more or less the same, and the country would be even more divided. It's time for no deal, I've said that for some time. Remain or no deal are the only options that are justifiable in my view, and we voted against the former so it's time to get on with the latter.

    Brexit was cancelled the day of the referendum.

    They were never, ever going to let it happen. Our political masters are perfectly happy with the status quo, thank you.

    Think so?

    Have you seen the text of tomorrow’s motion?

    It says this House declines to leave without a deal, but acknowledges that no deal is the default option should no deal be reached that is ratified by Parliament and the EU.

    So basically ‘No deal is not what this house wants but it is what will happen because the law’.

    She’s gonna come back with the same deal right up against the deadline and then it’ll be shít or bust.

    Either way we’re leaving.

    Nah. They will vote against no deal, then vote for an extension. Once the extension is agreed, the fix is in. A period of seeking a different deal. An extension to the extension. Failure to find a new deal. A second referendum...

    That does not seem likely to me. The British peoples are now alive to the work of Russian trolls, and the Brexit campaign was the work of Russians plus some old people.

    The British will now come to their senses and remain in the EU. Eastern European prostitutes will continue to ply their trade in Albion, unimpeded.

    No need for Commie troll money, e. Britain would've happily supported Brexit for free. Something to do with about five hundred years of history.

    I love the idea that Russia and its piddling little economy (smaller than Australia's) managed to financially out-muscle a campaign that was backed by the UK government, the Bank of England, the US President, the World Bank, the CBI, Goldman Sachs, etc.

    It is fùcking laughable.
