He seems to think that no deal might be bad enough to provoke such a revolution.

Disaster Socialism has been attempted in quite a few places over the years. Its never ended well

@exsee

A genuine question* -

the people will unite when bubbles get popped👊 like a phoenix from the ashes🦃

How do you think that will happen? What will the 'people uniting' look like or how will it affect politics, business, economics etc.

*I am on record here that despite being anti-brexit, despite being pessimistic about the next few years, despite my lack of trust in our Westminster government, I do think that long term we will bounce back. I do wonder what change we will see, and I am too much of an optimist in life to not think that.

Without a doubt Matt, The EU will get blamed for everything, while plucky little Britain fights away like some kind of Commando war time comic character.

Some of these nitwits need to be fed some of that shit sandwich, even if they’re completely ignorant as to who the chef was.

Mon tae **** Nicola, get us oot of here!!!

The EU already is being blamed for everything while good old Boris just does his best in difficult circumstances. Try reading, really reading, the tory poison press for a couple of weeks.

When Scotland leaves the UK after this utter crapfest... save me a place.

Exsee’s forelock-tugging working classe friends will continue to vote for their (and our) doom.

If that's really what you and other remainers think then you have your answer as to why brexit is happening. As clumsy as he is in expressing it, exsee does have a point about the hubris, arrogance and complacency displayed by those who really should have known better. Brexit won't cause a revolution, but it might wake some up to the fact that their own comfort and wealth is not as secure as they thought it was.

Just for balance, I've found it very annoying listening to the know-it-alls posting their offensive tripe for the last few years, barely a peep from the troll hunters or fair minded stw massive, leave voters are fair game on here and it's bloody offensive regardless of how you voted.
Now the truth gets posted and suddenly it's all 'no, no you mustn't blame the apathetic know-it-alls', bless, don't get all snowflakey stw. If ya dish it, expect it back💩
Humblee pie is the only thing on the menu I'm afraid. Nom nom nom🍕🍕

I think people should make an effort to buddy up with a few oaps, help them through the next few months, all the better if they voted differently to you👍👊
Unite the people, trust the polls, time for change🌈

What is "the truth"...? That the damage heading our way is the fault of those openly calling for that damage, such as you? Or those that wanted to avoid it, and still would like it mitigated as much as possible, rather than wishing for it to be maximised by rejecting a deal with the EU... because "big change".

I just really feel for those people, in their millions, who voted for Brexit because we would get a new better relationship with the EU, where we're still part of the largest free trade area in the world, but with more political autonomy and more money to spend in the NHS. That they have to hear people openly calling for No Deal, using the mandate they helped provide, is depressing for many of them, and me.

All that knowledge and what the **** do the know-it-alls use it for?
Blaming everyone else that's what, they think their joining the elites😱 it's unforgivable, they should be ashamed.
Divide and conquer has worked an absolute treat💩

I'm so angry, I need to vent but please try not to make these pages all about little old meeeeeeee.🐮

Scotland supports my point. In Scotland you voted for a government which maintained the social contract between the government and the people, rather than the governing party assuming they could get away with anything they wanted and still keep power. The result as we saw was the opposite of the rest of the UK, where the working class and middle class came together to vote to stay in the EU, whereas in England the working class (it wasn't just the working class tbf, but they tipped the balance) decided they had no common ground with middle class metropolitan remainers so voted accordingly.

@exsee - I have asked a question of you. Your opportunity to explain some more detail of your vision for how things will be.

Please do reply and engage in discussion - you are flinging more mud and more unsubstantiated ideas around than anyone at the moment.

Well there's a lovely analysis about 2016... with plenty of truth to it... but that's long gone... we are no longer an EU country... now, how is that relevant to exsee calling for No Deal with the EU now, and the "big" but detail free "change" they are hoping will come from it?

Ah yes, it's not the fault of the Tory party, it's not the fault of the people stupid enough to vote for this, it is now apparently the fault of people who Didn't vote for this.....
**** right off. I've said this was a stupid idea from the start, it's not my fault if you've voted for something that will ruin your life.

It's soooo frustrating, how do we get the know-it-alls to engage in society.
They've been sold an absolute dud but won't even consider that they are the problem.

I'm hoping the EU turn the screws and force a no deal, the bubbles need popping now or we're screwed💩

If you read my post properly you'll see I'm agreeing with you. I'm absolutely saying its the fault of the tory party and the people who voted for them. Where were the 48% in 2015 when all this could easily have been prevented? Some of them were obviously voting tory as we wouldn't have ended up with them in power.

But all the posts are quite content free.

What exactly would you like them to do?
What is the change you would like to see?
What have you personally done to try and prevent the situation we now find ourselves in?

Answer those, @exsee, and then maybe you might achieve something more than just annoying people.

Bit of a sticky wicket for Boris. Congenitally wired to screw people over, he is at a point where he can either screw over the dark capitalist forces behind Leave who want the fully disaster no-deal situation OR he can screw over the people of country who don't want a no-deal.

Sadly, he can't screw everybody over, so someone (not Boris) will get what they want.

And therein lies the problem with telling different lies to different people out of can-kicking expediency and/or political expediency.

This would make a great morality tale than even a three year old could understand, but it is a strange way to map a (formerly) important country's future for the next decade +.

Whichever way this goes in the short term there are going to be an awful lot of people realising they were sold a pup. My worry is they go full post-truth, anti-vax, batshit mental double-down and we go down some 1930s plughole.

For the people who think "it could never happen here and not in this day and age" just think about how many ordinary German folk were saying that in 1929/30.

Germany you say… I think the 2030s will be interesting…

https://www.faz.net/aktuell/politik/ausland/schottlands-regierungschefin-nicola-sturgeon-will-zurueck-in-eu-17108331.html

Dodgy Beta Apple translation…

Scottish head of government Nicola Sturgeon continues to stick to her plans for Scotland's accession to the EU. After the independence referendum she sought, she will quickly lead her nation into the European Union, Sturgeon said in an interview with the daily newspaper Die Welt and other European media. According to recent surveys, more than half of the Scots want independence. I am confident that the Scots will say yes in the next referendum.

An independent Scotland will then immediately apply for EU membership. In their opinion, Scotland is "a unique case for rapid accession to the EU". Scotland's accession is "not enlargement". As part of the United Kingdom, Scotland was finally a member for over 40 years. Scotland is coming home, this is not a new beginning.

Actually, that's a really good translation, isn't it. Well done Apple.

Boris is apparently wanging on about fish again. He's still sticking to this as being the thing he's using to scupper any deal.

Meanwhile the idiots idiot, Michael Gove, with his best poker face is telling the EU that if there is no deal by the 1st Jan deadline then the UK will definitely not be returning to try and get any form of FTA with the EU after that and we'll be happy on WTO rules with no trade agreement.

Their reaction wasn't documented, but I should imagine...

It is more when he disappears for half an hour every so often to check up on respondents to his Fair Fuel survey that it becomes really obvious. I wonder if anyone has actually donated any cash at the end.

Exsee and Howard Cox have never been seen in the same room together - makes you think....

Question… do we think that, right now, the British population want a deal with the EU? If so, how would a No Deal outcome be respecting the will of the people? And I mean the will of us, the people, now, at the tail end of 2020, not us at a point in time in 2016. (Although I’d argue there has been no point in the last 20 years when a No Deal situation had public backing, even during the brief periods where Brexit was popular).

Oh, just seen this…

It is more that these twunts still have the time and energy for ****ing parlour games when we are at 60,000+ deaths from covid, cases on the rise again, ICUs getting full and just about to have a Christmas free for all superspreader event temporary relaxation in the rules.

As well as about to press the big red 'press here to flush your economy down the khazi' Brexit button.

At some point in the future, please, please, please, there needs to be some kind of reckoning for the likes of Farage, Cummings, Johnson, Gove et al. One where they end up wearing pyjamas and breaking rocks for 18 hours a day.

It won't happen, of course. They'll probably end up being viewed as 'moderates' when the idiots keep voting for more and more nasty fantasists rather than face up to their own stupidity.

Does anyone else get the impression that the English are using fishing as a way to sabotage a deal? Basically;

1. de Pfeffel Johnson goes over there to hardtalk the EU
2. agrees to everything except "selling out our brave fisherman" yada yaha. (0.12% of the economy?)
3. the EU cannot accept.
4. blame the EU for no deal when that was the deal all along.
5. come back, deflect, abdicate, deny all responsibiltiy.

Job done.

@Kalvin, to me that looks like the malignant press of the UK colliding with the chemotherapy of reality.

How many years before we're back in the SM? 3,5 or 10?

I am English, but please do not put it like that. Please don't lump me in with Johnson and his rabble.

They do not represent me, never have never will and they make me thoroughly ashamed to be English.
