    Are there differing official stances on Brexit? Can we exploit any fractions?

    There have been a few concerns/complaints from lobbyists and the like, but the eu that we have to negotiate with seem absolutely agreed. We can't rely on a few businesses or industries saving us at the last moment.

    That is quite hilarious. Now for the sake of balance, can someone please post remainer Bingo?

    I am struggling to find one, can only think that Brexiters have better things to do with their time than to create petty little games like the remainers do.
    What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare

    :T
    Which in itself disproves the alleged demographics of the referendum, doesn't it? With remainers supposedly being younger, better-educated and working.
    If that was true we wouldn't see the quantity of posts that we do from these remainers in this thread, would we?
    They would presumably be hard at work.

    Indeed.
    Most leave voters have moved on, its only the more bitter Remainers bothering with such things.

    You put is so well.
    Brexiters voted and moved on leaving their created disaster behind.
    A huge number of people who voted for Brexit did so for so many reasons NOT to do with the EU.
    They have now moved on, in fact completely forgetting what they did in June 2016 and just like the outgoing tide leaving only a small number of wrong but committed leavers fighting to justify the economic and status destroying Brexit that is the Brexit.
    There will be no Brexit dividend for Britain.

    I was writing about frippery like 'Brexiteer bingo'. :)
    What's this disaster you're writing about?

    Remain would loose a second referendum.
    The Government would be batting for Leave, there'd be no Obama fake queue threat, Project Fear is now largely discredited, very few of the Armageddon predictions such as 500,000 job losses by the end of 2016 came true, there is now no status-quo option, this time Remainers would be selling a very different EU given all the latest speeches coming out of Brussels to include calls to centralise more and double the budget - -
    Tajani called for a substantial increase in the EU’s budget, saying €140 billion a year was not enough.
    “We will need twice as much as today,” he said
    Then you'd have Leave warning of potential lurches to the far right as seen right across disgruntled populations in the EU.

    Independent England referendum would be sought if Brexit gets cancelled. At the 2016 referendum 53.38% of English populace voted out.

    Mifid2 2018 regs already harming the City (many reports on this), so again, remaining is not a status quo option.

    What sort of Remain do you want? Remain would have to spell-out very awkward stuff such as how much our contributions will be over the coming 2 decades and what bits of all the new centralisation plans we intend to embrace / reject.
    I can see Leave posters now; WE'LL BE PAYING £15BN A YEAR BY 2025 IN RETURN FOR A £70BN TRADE LOSS.
