Cable Forum - Brexit (Old)

I don’t think you’ll find I have suggested any such thing on this forum.

It was also merely an observation on Corbyn’s next steps. I’ve always said MPs want to remain but not get the blame for it.

So UKIP and Leave supporters aren't negatively reported on, harassed, etc?

There are countless examples of where leave supporters are "attacked" one way or another.

Love to know where the examples are of UKIP/leave supporters being treated positively.

Nigel Farage was forced to cancel an appearance in Northampton today, as tensions flared ahead of his visit....
A group of around 30 activists chanting 'refugees are welcome here' and carrying banners saying 'no to Ukip' blocked the entrance to the Market Square, where Farage was expected to arrive as part of his Brexit bus tour of the UK.

...
A Ukip spokesperson insisted Farage wasn't afraid to face the protesters but that with "a wet ground and many pensioners" it seemed silly to take the risk. He added that the "masked anarchists were clearly not up for debate".
While the protesters claimed it was a victory for the town, some Brexit supporters were angered by the decision.
"I'm disgusted that it's been cancelled just because of that little group of protesters," one said, as news spread that the event was being cancelled.

Re: Brexit

I think it's more likely a version of May's Deal with some Labour amendments, such as a customs union, is gonna pass.

Every one has the right to change their mind but he did say "what's worse is there was no appetite amongst the public for it until Dave called the referendum"
How can a former UKIP supporter suggest there was no appetite for it until Dave called for a referendum,leaving the EU was UKIP'S sole aim , admittedly they had a smaller share of the vote but they did muster 4 million supporters ,and he was once one of them.

Are teenage dreams so hard to beat
Everytime she walks down the street
Another girl in the neighbourhood
Wish she was mine, she looks so good

I wanna hold her wanna hold her tight
Get teenage kicks right through the night ................... :p::p:

Far from it. A search of the forum you’ll see I’ve laid out the paths to remain. All require perpetual parliamentary impasse and an extension. A general election risks solving that. Unlikely to, but possible.

This vote was always going to go down party lines. It’s Parliament’s next steps that are important. Corbyn’s are interesting because he has to come out for something sooner or later. The Labour Party were never going to solve this crisis on their own.

Re: Brexit

Well we would still be substantially less connected to the EU than before. Not in the full single market, no freedom of movement and no ECJ rulings. TBH Considering the Parliamentary maths and that they cannot get rid of May I am still surprised the ERG didn't back May's deal which had the above and really only the backstop which in theory would go eventually. That way Brexit would be done and once out it's much harder to get back in than it currently would be to stay in.

Any deal now is likely to be closer to the EU than May's deal was.

I think the whole process has made people less willing to compromise on anything. I think if you offered May's deal in the aftermath of the election Brexiters would have taken it no problem.
