It's your inability to even accept the truth in the face of glaring evidence that proves that brexit is just going to be terrible.

The good thing is that remain voters who can understand what is happening and make informed decisions will be able to cope.

But at least you "won" right.

Or make some money out of it? Plenty to be made from the collapse in the £ for the 'well off' with foreign investments. Not so much in it for the poor folk of Sunderland.

For some maybe, but for Joe Bloggs and all the other 'average Joe's, who don't live in the South East and don't have a diet containing fresh food (with short shelf life) sourced primarily/exclusively from the remaining EU27**, how much difference do you think they're likely to notice?

I'm fully expecting food prices to rise. Even if there aren't any cost increases, the supermarkets are unlikely to miss an opportunity like this to sneak in some price hikes in the name of Brexit. But aside from that what difference will we notice? The biggest difference I'm expecting is the lack of people asking 'has it finished yet?'

Maybe if you could convince us with some specific examples that will have a more than a token negative effect on our lives.


** I don't even know if there are currently issues with the border. I thought I'd read that the EU were going to unilaterally let things keep flowing as they do now, but I've switched off the news for the last few weeks. (and life is far more enjoyable as a result)

It's the uncertainty that is more damaging than a no deal hard brexit that should have happened today.

If it's still going to end up no deal brexit at the end of all the detentions then everybody will wish we no deal left today

10% rise in new car prices will trickle down to 2nd hand car market.

My old banger is actually going to go up in resale vale. But if I want another car it will also go up.

Anyway, it's wrong to say you won't notice, the fallout from this brexit disaster will affect everybody, no matter what happens.

This I the only thing we can be sure of, everything else in uncertainty

It's the uncertainty that is more damaging than a no deal hard brexit that should have happened today

Happy Independence Day everybody!

I'll be celebrating with a chicken & mushroom pot noodle sprinkled with paprika Pringles.

well having polled 600+ expert chefs it now appears that both pringles on noodles and noodles on pringles are incorrect, regardless of what you do with the sachet

I think the only way forward now is blend the lot, smear it all over your naked body and roll around at the beach

So...May's deal rejected for a 3rd time. What now?

Another humiliation for the worst PM this country has ever seen. Surely she is toast now.

Going forward IMO -

Best bet for labour - second referendum
Best bet for tories - general election

Let's hope no police officers or innocent bystanders get hurt.

Not much point in trying to convince you either. You've had your head firmly stuck in the sand for the last three years.

I've been trying to get you to show me something credible and convincing for 3 years, and you've failed miserably to do so. I'm so close to being on your side, if only you can give me any details.

It's supposed to be a short delay and a general election on Mays defeat? This farce is going to run on forever.
