Brexit, for once some facts.

Thank you.
"My tower" was actually Mauchline Castle (Abbot Hunter’s Tower), Mauchline. Adjacent to Gavin Hamilton's House in which I lived in 1961. Absolutely loved the place despite it not being in the best of condition. But not so desperately far from Blackethouse - about 75 miles.

The caption should read

brexit metaphors in the Indy:
- Brexit is like when you decide to go through a fast food drive-thru and you get to the second window and realise that you’ve forgotten your wallet except now there is a car behind you and a car in front so you can’t get out.
- Brexit is like when you go into a shop and take something to the till and it ends up being more expensive than you thought but you’re too awkward to say anything so you just end up paying over the odds for a bottle of wine you didn’t need anyway.
- Brexit is like when you lose your phone and you accuse everyone around you of stealing it before you discover that it was actually in the bottom of your bag the whole time but you’re too proud to say anything so you alienate a group of your friends with your false accusations.
- Brexit is like being Dr Alex on Love Island and rejecting every woman that comes into the villa but kicking off when a woman rejects you.
- Brexit is like sinking your fancy pants yacht because you don’t want “foreign” staff to be able to work on it.
- Brexit is like when those people build outhouses in their garden except they didn’t ask for planning permission and the council find out and they have to knock the whole thing down just to ask for planning permission so they can build it again.
- Brexit is like in Eurovision when we psych ourselves up for a win but then we have to sit there for an extended period of time while all the countries around us tell us we’re s**t.
- Brexit is like when you’re at the dentist and the dentist in charge, who has all the dental knowledge, asks you a pertinent and important question but you can’t answer because said dentist has their fingers in your mouth.
Mine is more topical
Brexit is like watching your Mother in law going backwards over a cliff in your new car, because she forgot to engage the handbrake, and she was busy looking under the seat to find where she had dropped the ignition key.
If I was Theresa May I would put a vote to either parliament or the people....most agree that no deal would be a disaster.....so the vote should have only 2 options.....
1. Support the leave deal that I have negotiated based upon Chequers.
Or....
2. We ask the EU to remain.
Be interesting what the Brexiters would vote for?
Be interesting what Labour would vote for?
KudosDave

This little film clip was made 75 years ago and today, the world is once again under threat from the fascist hordes while the mainstream media, as in the 1930s, demonstrate support for these evil people.
I am sick to death of these 'Brexit' proponents, brainwashed from birth by the same media that lauded praise on the Mosley blackshirts in the 1930s, replicating their support today for the vile fascists here in the UK, in America and elsewhere around the world.
Some present themselves in this forum, unable to explain how we may benefit from 'Brexit' but happy to discuss mythical propaganda, condemning the Labour Party and claiming that there exists an anti-semitic element therein, uncontrolled by, or only partly suppressed by Jeremy Corbyn. Those people have never accepted their part in, or taken responsibility for the vicious murder of Jo Cox and even now, maintain their support and adulation of all those liars who have attempted to wrest power away from the British people through deceit, pretending that an unprepared public voted once, thereby providing the fascists who gave rise to Thomas Mair, carte blanche.
The British people need to have the opportunity to cancel 'Brexit' before this once-great country is reduced to a mere shell, unable to fend for itself in the big, wide, 21st century world, only able to earn insufficient income by selling weapons and war machinery to other evil regimes overseas.
As we draw near to the point of no return, it is important that those who wish to leave the EU understand exactly what is happening and what will most certainly come to pass if they fail to heed the words of Martin Niemöller:
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

It would appear even the right wing press are beginning to see something is wrong
The Telegraph this morning
"
Forget stockpiling food – I’m going to be growing my own in the Brexit post-apocalypse

Really? this is about as unrealistic as anything yet, when people really tried doing this during wartime it was only a help, and they really put in a lot of work trying.
If this is what Brexit means, we are doomed.
What a feeble "Call to Arms" for holy Brexit!

More brexit metaphors:
- Brexit has been the parliamentary equivalent of putting diesel into an unleaded car and it’s broken the engine.
-I'm going to cancel Netflix and negotiate with each film producer separately, to get the best deal for me and my family. Maybe bundle each service together into one package similar to Netflix but don't call it Netflix.
-brexit: what we don’t want to find is that at the first tap it falls apart like a Chocolate Orange. It needs to be coming through like a cricket ball.
Fast and dangerous with a likelihood of breaking car windows and skulls.

It’s Project Fear all over again! Brexiteers blast warnings over leaving EU with no deal
BREXIT campaigners last night slammed "Project Fear" doomsday warnings by Government planners about the potential impact of leaving the European Union without a deal.."
And what is the problem? the Government has made plans for emergency action if Brexit causes shortages.
So this is Project Fear, Brexiteers don't accept even the possibiltiy of their nonsense going wrong and would prefer all hell to break out if it does?

Sky poll:
Do you think there should or should not be a referendum on whether the UK should leave the EU on the terms suggested by the government, leave the EU without a deal with the EU, or not leave the EU?
Should: 50%, Should not: 40%,
Don't know: 10%
If there were a referendum, what would be your first preference?
Remain: 48%, No deal: 27%, Chequers: 13%,
won't vote: 8%. don't know: 4%

Brilliant analogy 'Woosh'! However, I suspect Netflix's lawyers will have included provision to stymie that contingency in the small print.

When I was little, there was a statue of a man with a beard in my local public park. I asked my dad why he was famous and my dad told me the story of the beginnings of the Labour movement.
That man was Keir Hardie and these two infographics illustrate the difference between the decent, hardworking people whose toil created all that is good in the UK and the parasitic ruling class, whose parliamentary representatives, propaganda merchants and appointed judges conspire at every turn to ensure there is no interruption to the status quo, keeping their unearned wealth supply out of the clutches of those who seek a fairer distribution:

Perhaps you, or anyone else who supports such nasty posts, would please explain Labour's stance on Brexit. (Bearing in mind the Topic of the thread is Brexit and not some class war, which even if correct and well meaning, is utterly irrelevant and especially so listening to Corbyn's opinion on EU.
He, s actually more of Euro sceptic than May.
Had your glorious Labour movement actually opposed the government we wouldn't be in this mess. They are equally to blame for this predicament as the tories.
it seems that way to me too.
Labour's six tests are impossible.
I'll explain Labour's stance on Brexit
They are a clueless set of prats who are like the Tories playing party politics and seeking to apply nonsensical arguments to excuse their behaviour.
Quite simple really
They have no real idea of what they are doing, or rather failing to do, and Corbyn has completely lost the plot
or they could play the game 'reduction to absurdity'.
the silent majority of MPs gently reduce the choices to just no deal or remain, it's obvious that remainers outnumber hard brexiters by 2:1.
If TM went for EFTA, the negotiation would have been completed by now.
