I think that some people were told they had nothing left to lose. I also think that they may soon find out the truth.

The worrying thing for me is that someone rich really wants a hard brexit, without being honest about who they are.

Meanwhile Theresa May seems intent on upsetting as many MPs and EU members as she can. The biggest upset will be to the UK population, the remain voters are already upset. The Leave voters will be upset when they find out that brexit is just an empty box and all they have given up is gone forever too

Someone has said that there are only two types of people who want a No Deal Brexit. Millionaires & Idiots. Check your bank balance if you are not sure which you are.

Isn't it a laugh watching people that just don't learn from past mistakes, because insulting loads of people has obviously worked so well up until now. It's not like it's one big reason why we're headed for this No Deal Brexit they're so worried about in the first place.

I agree there are lots of reasons. Prejudice, greed, looking for an easy fix sold by a liar.

Just us what we can do to shock you into realising that you made a terrible mistake, because nothing else has worked & we need to save you from yourselves.

You would be surprised at how many people think no deal is reverting back to pre referendum status.

What happened to the thread on the Article 50 petition?

No deal is just more torture as it's only the first step and she can't even get it voted on at the moment. Long term stress is going to cause health issues which will be a huge drain on the NHS, another thing putting the brexit dividend further into negative territory.

It's also surprising to think that many people believe that we can use a No Deal exit as an "experiment" & reapply to join if it all goes wrong.


We would never again be allowed to opt out of the Euro, have a veto on laws we don't like, be exempt from Schengen. We already have the deal deal of any of the current members and we are about to give that up.

Coincidently, Blood in the Street was the name of a book co-authored by Jacob Rees-Mogg's father telling how to engineer a stock market crash & make a fortune from the ensuing misery.

As Jacob told the Times in 2015: “My father, with whom I discussed all aspects of politics and finance, was the greatest influence in my professional life.”

No, it tells how to spot market trends and profit from them, and how to asses "value" and if companies may be under-valued, as well as a lot of deep historical and technical reading. I believe Rees-Mogg senior was also connected to a well know mail-order course on investing which called it really wrong on the outlook for property in the 2000`s, so to try and portray these guys as James Bond villans with the power to crash world markets really is more of the same stuff that shut people off to the Remain camp and their fear stories in the first place. The media are running the "drug shortage" meme a lot at the moment, which is looking increasingly desperate as we near Reality Time.
