    No idea about the first part. Some of them, definitely.
    All of them for the last part, which gives remainers hope. Non-accountability ftw
    Realistically if the commons are forced to vote on it they will vote yes.

    If the lords try to block it then it will be forced through anyway.

    However that will slow the process down and may even force a general election.

    At which time, Lineker can leap to the fore.

    I'm just going to take your word for all of this. If I don't express an opinion either way then it can't whip-crack across my face and beat down my spirit like an errant step-child.
    I plan on beating him to death with his kids. I'll use them as a bludgeon on his face. -

    I wonder if the Brits have already realized what leaving the EU means in view of the extra costs it will bring and the isolation that will cause... Or is it still too early?

    I think a lot of people vote a certain way just for spite. That usually just makes things worse. The USA is proof of that right now.

    You can not really blame them. This is down to the naivety of the government; first the Labour Party and then the Conservatives. If you allow freedom of movement and allow 3 million Eastern Europeans into the country over 10 years.then Brexit is more likely than not.

    You can't blame the Eastern Europeans either, if you get £2/hour for your job but can do the same job a £40, 2 hour plane ride away and get paid a minimum of £7.50 for a similar job then that's a great incentive to try it out.

    Oh come one, if you want to engage in Trumpian math then at least scale the true number up by a factor of 10. Make it huge! Like, the biggest ever!

    Brexit, the bigest clownery in the world's history. But the best question is: to get to where?
    Old shit was here. Now it's gone.

    The current US white house administration takes the cake for biggest clownery in the world's history. Brexit is second.
