"On message". The groundswell that fuelled Brexit hasn`t gone away, if anything it has become stronger, and the more silly stories that are put about of the dire consequences of leaving the more people are going to say "Let`s go for it" IMO.

Great, bring on that second Referendum and we can find out. I am pretty sure that is the way it will go now, if only so TM can CYA.

The EU cannot throw Eire to the wolves. Eire is a member state of the EU.........

I actually don't think it can either unless Ireland is happy to play along in private in order to give some prospect of a trade deal, Ireland is obviously the one EU nation which is very vulnerable economically to Brexit, but to be honest I doubt it really wants to compromise too much if the thin gruel on offer is a Canda style deal anyway which does little to help it with its economic fallout

My fear is the Tory party splits on the issue may make it impossible for them to come up with anything in the end.

Then it comes down to whether the EU is willing to throw Ireland to the wolves and fudge the border issue to get a Canada style deal, not that a simple Canada style FTA deal will solve most of the Brexit related economic issues anywya, but it would be better than nothing.

Well it won't belong before we find out I personally think that if we do crash out it will not be good especially in short term but I'm not convinced it will the absolute doom laden scenario some people are predicting.

Does this answer your question?

No. It's a BS argument. Those not working include those with no wish to work, people between jobs and those who are on the unemployed register but not claiming benefits. To lump these people together is absurd.

Obligatory listen for the 'WTO is fine' brigade.



But I suspect it will be met with the usual response:

Interesting how other countries when faced with potentially mass immigration shy away.
