Do you remember a TV game show hosted by Robert Kilroy-Silk called Shafted? That’s the game you are playing and you are going to get royally shafted.

Why do you have such a problem with lying when you rely on Boris Johnson for your future? I don’t understand.

But there is no Brexit house. The Brexit house is about as real as your support for leaving the EU. You come onto this thread for the entertainment you derive by pretending to hold an opposing view to the majority. That’s ok, I can see the point in doing that, it can be fun.

..... means disappointment, means it ain’t happenin’. He’s lying to you when he says we are out on31/10. You will wake up on 1 November, eagerly switch on your wireless and you will hear Boris blaming the EU for keeping us in it.

The whole 75 million is in a Santander Easy Access Account earning 1% before tax, because he’s just like the rest of us.

In the face of a battle, you need a leader that you can trust. Your leader promised you the following and then broke every single one of them. Only a complete idiot would continue to follow him into battle. But I guess that’s the problem. And to pile more stupid on top of the baseline idiocy...

Given below is a series of promises, guarantees if you like, made prior to the referendum by Boris Johnson, David Davis, John Redwood & Michael Gove. Will one of the Brexidiots please step forward and point out which of the promises has been honoured? Will one of the Brexidiots please give us...

Am I missing something? If Bojo resigns, can’t someone else send the letter on behalf of the U.K. in order to comply with the law? I mean, how difficult can it be? The letter has been written, it only need putting in an envelope and a stamp licking.

Won’t they just say, “fill yer boots and put the bins out at No 10 as you leave, it’s collection day tomoz.” Someone else can send the letter. It only needs an envelope and a stamp.

In that case, I cannot see a good outcome for him. If he asks for an extension, Brexiters will never forgive him and they will flock to Farage and split the Conservative vote in two. The other option will be a re-heated May’s deal sold as a victory. Can’t see that getting through HoC. Third...

I would have thought he would be moderating his language by now, softening the Brexiters up for the disappointment on not leaving on 31/10. Instead, he seems to be setting himself up for a massive fall, from which I doubt he could recover if we don’t leave.

Maybe he’s hoping to find a loophole that will enable him to defy the Benn Act then?

Albania? The local Albanians do an ace job of washing my 17 year old Subaru Forester, but I’m not sure that nation as a whole will be able to plug the financial gap left by the U.K.’s departure, if it happens, which I hope it doesn’t.

I’m not too sure about that.

Johnson has something up his sleeve. I think one of the countries vetoing the extension is the most likely. There are some dodgy nations amongst the 27, throw them a bit of cash and they will dance to any tune you care to play, as demonstrated by Ireland. Perhaps the Benn act should have...

This sounds dangerous, especially if the power to veto disappears. This is the sort of information which needs presenting to the public.

I’ve not read all the posts relating to this, but I would have thought a formula to allocate MEPs by population would be sensible. For example: If the population of the EU is 760 million and there are 760 MEP places, 1 MEP per 1 million population would make sense. Maybe that’s how it works...

I don’t know about the skills Syrian refugees posses. For example, out of 100 Syrians, I wouldn’t have any idea how many would have skills which the U.K. need. Of course, not all immigrants come from Syria.

Maybe some numbers on someone’s spreadsheet somewhere back up what you are saying. I’m just saying what I’ve experienced first hand through contact with a small number of working immigrants. They are quite happy, and have no plans to leave. I think this side topic was kicked off by someone...

OG did offer a very nice apology, which I accepted, and I then granted him my forgiveness. ;-)
