What will happen if Boris says: There may be a new law, but I'm simply going to lie in a ditch instead of going to Brussels.
1. VONC
2. Caretaker PM who will obey the law
3. EU Extension anyway“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.
Belief in myths allows the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.”

I don't see how an extension can be avoided now, but what will that achieve at best hung parliament with the can being pushed down the road or a Tory Government and no deal a strong Possibility.0 -

Be interesting to see the EU's view. At what point do they want closure to the matter. With the matters talked to death is there an agreeable solution?0 -

The eu must be pishing themselves laughing at that bunch of cretins in parliament!
Bet they cant believe their luck at having to deal with such a bunch of muppets in the uk.

When half the country voted for it and half against, that was never going to happen.
Easy to say in hindsight but if a threshold of, say, 66% (i.e. a super-majority or two-thirds of voters) was needed to enact change we wouldn't be in the mess we are now.Every generation blames the one before...

The majority voted to leave. If Corbyn is elected with 30% of the vote. Does that mean we should have a rerun.........0
