Mark Francois, being interviewed on the BBC, seems to believe that a new leader will take us out of the EU on 31st October with no deal.

I wonder if he was bullied at school for having a foreign sounding name?


That sort of thing could scar you for life.......

There are some morally bankrupt politicians that would vote for a no deal brexit, but I would hope there wouldn't be enough for it to pass.

It might not be up to our politicians if the EU finally gets fed up with us faffing about.


Mind you, personally I think they should have forced us into a decision at the end of March. They should have said "Accept May's deal; leave with No Deal or stay & forget all about it. No pressure either way. No extensions. Just choose one & do it."

I think only a minority of people want full on Brexit now. Well those who have not been aware of the billions already spent on planning (nothing ) so far.

But hey Farage will deliver for them, then he will exit stage left to enjoy the spoils of his benefactors.

The rest of us will not benefit at all.

So no, I think Parliament for all their faults realise the project is doomed.

That's how the EU leaders meetings work though. A constant muddle of compromise. Every country present has it's own vested interests to look after.

Definitely. There are 27.5 countries worth of people working together and 0.5 of country trying to leave because they don't play well with others.

Let's have a general election

If Brexit party wins = no deal Brexit
If LibDem wins = stay in EU
If Labour or Conservative wins = half in half out (what does that mean?)

Simple

I'm still waiting for the civil war we were promised. If Farage fulfil his obligation before the end of Article 50 then it should be withdrawn

We all know that this cannot last forever. (In this context I'm referring to serious divisions within the other 27)

The lemmings will listen, and he has to pay back Aaron Banks, or Vice versa, it’s all just ridiculous now.

But some people love this kind of rhetoric, without looking behind it at all. Sigh.

Heard the Brexit outfit is not a Party but a Company and therefore is outside the ethics and donations to public office rules. That is not right if true?

Why are other bona fide parties not questioning this?

I don't think that is true.
