      I think project fear was invented to by eu and fed to us to change our minds, we prospered before the eu and we’ll prosper after it.
      Next will be the sour grape brigade moaning about all, for pities sake country pull together and make the United Kingdom great again.

        I still feel an extension coming on.
        He is going to have to ask for an extension one way or the other.

        Hope I'm wrong but I cant see any other outcome.

          Bit in the grauniad (guardian) about bojo going to write and ask for extension. Bit disappointed in that but also hopeful of a deal that actually gets it all done

              He had better not give in and give those money grabbers our 39 Billion pounds!

              Thats our money and the people all across this Island need it spending here to make a vast number of peoples lives just that little bit easier.

                Well, yes, but I think we all know that wont happen, if you believe that you are taking the Brexit promises at face value.
                Yes we would get to keep out 39 billion but we wont get the money we now receive from the EU, so we might be better off, but not by 39 billion.;)

                I still want us to leave but I'm not expecting any real massive increase in wealth, just want to be free from EU shackles.:smile:

                    All a bit familiar isn’t it. There simply is not a deal that a majority of parties will support (without huge concessions and/or bungs)

                      So a deal has been agreed... And two minutes later -
                      BBC News - Legal bid at Court of Session to stop MPs debating Brexit deal
                      Legal bid to stop MPs debating Brexit deal

                      I don't want No Deal, I want a deal! No, not that one I think that's illegal?!

                      Reckon that the legal challenge will get kicked to the curb but you have to wonder at these idiots

                          EU could have offered a gold plated, guilt edged, 5 star deal and the politicians still would have rejected it lol

                            That made me laugh, it appears to stuff all fhose who voted for the 'Benn Act'.

                            Juncker said no extension if their 'deal' is rejected, but what about if the court prevents Parliament from voting? This is getting confusing.
