This is how it’s going to go. Not long after the Easter recess, Theresa May will offer her minimally changed “deal” to Parliament yet again and, yet again, it will be defeated. In supposed desperation – but, in fact, in line with a strategy in which that result was fully anticipated – the Government will then offer Parliament a series of votes on a number of alternative proposals. These will be along the same lines as the indicative votes that famously got us nowhere. Only this time they will be for real, not just a bit of parliamentary whimsy and, crucially, they will include one that opts to stay in the customs union, which is what Labour now officially favours. That is the only option that will gain a majority, because Labour – on a whipped vote – will have to support it and the DUP probably will, too, because it alleviates (but does not eliminate) the Irish border problem

The plan is obvious...
Stall, stall, stall, stall....
Re-vote...
Stall, stall, stall, stall
Re-vote
You know, until the “little people” get the vote “right”...
I mean politicians are so honest, right?
If it were me I would be livid but im a simple Texan so doubt y’all care....nor should u
But y’all are getting hosed by a bunch of liberal elites who “know best” for the unwashed masses..
Socialists/Liberals/Leftists must control every aspect of life....
Don’t like a vote?
Bring in immigrants till the “wrong voters” are colossally outnumbered...

At this point the EU does not want an UK as a member who would be a desaster, an unwanted and unwanting part of the EU.
Right now we do not trust you anymore.

It depends on what the question is going to be.
I don't think a multiple choice referendum will work, so that leave us with either...
- Remain vs. Leave
- Remain vs. parliaments deal
- Leave vs. parliaments deal
...and I got a horrible feeling it will be the middle one, which will keep us tied into the EU somehow, whichever way we vote.
What they going to do if Leave wins again?

They are trying so desperately to stoke fear in England to hopefully change the vote if there is a second referendum (which they are pushing for). This whole charade has been a ploy to get GB to stay in the EU so they can continue with the "replacement" agenda, because if they leave, it would be much harder for them to flood England with invaders. This is all 100% planned (except the Brexit vote, IMHO). They want to scare anyone else form leaving in the future as well.
I say take a no-deal and be done with it. It will hurt less the sooner you accept that. It would be best for Ireland to jump on board with Engalnd and work with them and round up all their invaders and send them packing back where they came from.
All of this is an assualt by the politicians against the citizens of each country. The people are starting to see this and there are going to be streets of politicians hanging from light posts if the people finally wake up.

The fear is strong with this one.
Yes, parliament has made a right pigs ear out of Brexit (as predicted by many), yes if we don't leave we should all unite and march on parliament to show our discontent at the will of the people being ignored, despite their promise it would be upheld and we should let them know we have no confidence in them to lead Iead us anymore.
But this isn't a plan by the EU to flood us with migrants. By all means get riled up, despite voting remain I'm getting peeved at the way they have mishandled the whole thing but direct your ire in the right direction, join together with other peeved off people on both sides of the Referendum and do something about it, otherwise you're gonna go off half cocked pursuing your own agenda and chasing bogeymen.
The fear coming from the Brexiteers now is palpabable. I really hope this clusterphuq is over soon, I'm sick of it.
Sick of being labelled a traitor on here for being a remainer.
Sick of this issue wasting so much of our parliament hours when there is real issues they need to work on.
Sick of Farage finding platforms.
Sick of hearing from Brexoteers whose MP is a Remainer and isn't listening to their constituents when I live in a Remain County who have since gone Tory and our MP (despite not voting in the Referendum because it was too confusing and did a political u-turn after she voted in a way that hurt her family farm in the county) is a Brexiteer and keeps ignoring the will of her county (needless to say it's a case of Hair today, gone tomorrow).
Sick of seeing it on the news.
Almost as sick of it being discussed on here as I am Trump.
Sick of seeing members I used to respect come out with ludicrous things (in the vein of Remainers being traitors).
Sick of hearing about how 52% of the people voted for Brexit when only 36% of the UK did, the people who didn't vote don't just disappear so you can tout this as a factual figure. In the grand scheme of things it was a marginal victory and the dissatisfaction would be the same in Brexiteers if the vote count was swapped.
Sick of people dodging the Irish issue.
Sick of writing like a certain vocal Brexiteers member (whose posts I ignore because of the extra effort needed to navigate the paragraph breaks
in the middle of sentences)...
At this point the EU does not want an UK as a member

Came across this online today and I cannot agree more with this entire article! THIS IS EXACTLY the plan... It is so clever yet so very simple with the eventual goal being the second referendum.

As a resident of the UK who has never been able to afford a holiday, let alone a trip abroad and thus couldn't afford to leave then UK if the mishandling of this situation continues post-Brexit, I have no choice but to be in this for the long haul. I already struggle to get by, any negative impact on my income (which includes tax hikes, price rises and all that lovely stuff) is going to send me and my family into poverty. I'm sure from the way most Brexiteers on here talk they don't face such hardship. I'm a very hard working guy but there are reasons, that I don't want to go into again, that I can't go out and generate income.
I'm basically sitting, waiting for the financial bullet that will cripple me...
