JRM would struggle.

OBrien obviously has good researchers, Mogg relys on using his class, exagerating his posh accent, that triggers the forelock tuggers into unquestioningly believing what he says.

His comments on QT often get facchecked & demolished on Twitter, he regularly retweets fakenews about wto tarifs & trade. He tries to use historical references that often contradict his arguments- he doesn't have Johnson's depth of knowledge & recall, even tho he pretends he does.

His popularity has crashed lately as people become aware of his BS

If a general election result means that we don’t leave then wouldn’t that then be ‘democracy’ and ‘the will of the people’?

Apparently the best way to prevent Remainers "destroying democracy" is to stop voting on stuff.

From looking at the news, the fact that all the right wing loons are completely losing their shit and screaming about Brexit Betrayal, can only be a good thing, surely?

I love the fact that they've resurrected the 'paint it down the side of a bus' narrative, while also discovering their previously dormant social consciences. They've now said that any additional money paid to Brussels (during any extended transition period)  should be spent alleviating the hardship of benefits claimants about to get hammered by Universal Credit instead?

Because the likes of IDS, Boris and Rees Mogg have always been famously concerned about the plight of the poor, haven't they?

or

If a backstop is such a good idea to sort the border issue why do we not go for a backstop around the entire Europe then Irish Republic can be part of it too

Great idea. Let's just stay in until someone can come up with a plan with works.

I'll say one thing for May. She's like a sponge for abuse. Its all water off a ducks back

If I'd received a letter of demands from the likes of David Davies and Boris Johnson - 2 people who totally and abjectly failed in their jobs associated with the Brexit process, before resigning so they could throw eggs from the sidelines - I'd be convening a press conference specifically to deliver an expletive-laden tirade telling them exactly how far they could **** right off with their 'demands'!

Either that or having a quiet word with the security forces to se if they could be dealt with in the same way the Saudi's just dealt with that journalist?

“Why would the PM appear to commit near political suicide by flaunting a transition extension? Because, I'm told, she thinks it may be the only way to re-engage Barnier. Appears No10 are now v worried that EU27 are close to pulling the plug entirely, and ready to go for no deal.”

WTO would be interesting… imagine when New Zealand, the US or perhaps Brazil veto subsidies for British farmers to help boost sales of their meat. Or India says no to our steel products unless we remove visa requirements… you are entering a negotiation where you are not among People with a mostly shared value system and we can’t even execute that properly.

Of course that depends on us being able to join WTO.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-10-17/how-tiny-moldova-s-brexit-grudge-could-cost-u-k-1-7-trillion

"Why the hold-up? Corina Cojocaru, Moldova’s economic counselor to the WTO, and her team were denied entry to the U.K. last year when they wanted to discuss their future relationship with Britain after it leaves the European Union."

But i thought there was nothing to fear, they need us more than we need them etc.

Just been reading in The Metro (aka "Mail-lite") that those nasty Frenchies are planning on "punishing" the UK, in the event of No Deal, by demanding visas from holidaymakers and sending UK nationals back home.

Sigh.

I thought a tightening of borders and immigration was something that was the "will of the people" - or do they expect it to only apply in one direction?

This is the bit I really don't understand about this whole shambles. All the people who voted to leave so we could stop free movement, moaning that their free movement is stopping... yes, because that's what you voted for?!

A caller on Jame O Brien's show -

We are being punished by the EU because they are making us abide by the same rules as everyone else, and we are not the same as everyone else, we are exceptional

The mind really does boggle.

Im worried about Maybot, she may be stuck in a logic loop,

from her press statement....

"What has now emerged is the idea that an option to extend the implementation period could be a further solution to this issue of the backstop in Northern Ireland... We are not standing here proposing an extension to the implementation period"

its schrodingers brexit

One of our neighbours is full on anti EU bonkers, You should see his house, covered in EU flags with stop signs plastered across them, and UKIP flags. He was handing some leaflet in the village at the weekend, and he tried to give one to Sara (gf), she has  a mate trying to do a phd in some maths bollocks, who has had a research place application turned down by a German Uni, saying that thy're turning down all UK applications at the minute, and to reapply when the situation calmed down and everyone knows what going on.

Anyway, gf can get a bit "fighty" she asked one old perv a few years ago if he wanted fisting, and it all kicked off on the green. there was a bit of effing and jeffing haha We're getting started at quite a lot by the WI brigade now...which is pretty funny, if it wasn't all a bit bloody sad.

If you want a snapshot of where we are from the view of the Great British public then turn on LBC with Farage in the evening.

One Brexit bulldog wanted to bring back hanging for Treason - relating to what I haven't got a clue.

However Farage still called the remainers fanatics!

Very depressing.

That's for the remainers.  Opposing brexit is treason, apparently.

What is treasonous is Jacob Cream Cracker wanting to shackle us to the WTO.

An unelected set of foreign beaureaucrats that will force us to put our prices up.

How dare he wave the white flag to those war dodging nazi sympathisers. Where were they in our darkest hour?

The **** should be thrown in the tower and then hung drawn and quartered. I tell you he would never betray this country again after that.

Harsh but fair.

I can see a future in a few small Miss Marple villages where borderline brexiteers might be dunked into the water to see if they drown.

The document says: 'In the event of withdrawal from the United Kingdom without agreement, British nationals who enjoy the right of free movement and free establishment throughout the European Union, as well as members of their family, will become nationals of third parties and will therefore in principle be subject to common law, that is to say to the requirement to present a visa to enter the French territory and to justify a residence permit to stay there.
'In case of withdrawal from the United Kingdom of the European Union without agreement, British nationals currently residing in France and their family members would be staying illegally.'

Anyone else vaguely tickled by the prospect of Ninfan getting deported and  British illegals wailing on tv and to papers that like to routinely demonise migrants in this country?

Project fear / no price is too high / we knew what we were voting for etc etc.
