Also, it appears Ireland have accepted May's version of the backstop idea.

Can we now stop talking about Brexit until 2021?

No, we must have another referendum.......for no reason that I've quite worked out

We don't need another referendum, just an acceptance that we were on our time of the month when the last one happened and voted a bit rashly but we've calmed down a bit and realised it was just a bad idea. Let's just leave things as they are. I mean, you can't seriously think it is still a good thing, can you ?

Had I realised that no one actually had a ****ing clue, then I wouldn't have voted at all. I still think that done correctly, leaving is the best option

Hold on, I'm sure... wait a minute, let me check... yes, I thought so! We had a big vote about this la, everyone went down to their local primary school and made a cross on a piece of paper, and the majority of people voted for us to leave the EU.

Glad to clear that up for you mate :thumbup:

You assume I believe in democracy, sir c. I mean letting "people" decide - never a good idea. I mean they might all soon vote for Jeremy

Oh, I quite agree. But we've gone and done it now. We've given hoi polloi their chance and they have spoken. :shrug:

That's the thing though - if a clear path to leave was spelt out in the referendum, the result would have been comprehensively in favour of leaving, but people effectively voted for chaos. Two years on and they still haven't produced workable plan. For all their long words and use of Latin, Rees Mogg and Johnson are absolutely ****ing thick ****s, yet they are popular :shrug:

And Eddie Jones hasn't picked Cipriani ffs

Yes, don't get not taking Cipriani at all. Pleased Ashton is back, though

Well, I think any sane person knows that the public should never have been allowed to vote on this. Bad enough we even get to vote for politicians

Quite.

I try not to follow all this angst too closely because it's depressing and unnecessary but from what I have seen and read, I'm really struggling to see how we end up out of the customs union without a hard border somewhere; either in Ireland or between Ireland and England.

All of which leads me to believe that we will end up with some sort of fudge which keeps no one happy.

Some of your politicians clearly don't know what they are talking about either so in the absence of the public and the elected politicians who should be allowed to vote?

It does seem to be a gang that is hard to leave, once you're in.

I am a simpleton but I suspect more delays until there is some sort of election and the newbies will have a new vote.

One good thing about having a new manager is people focus on the football more, I think, rather than *other factors* :-\
