I wish I could dismiss this report as clearly nonsense. Unfortunately, I can't.

Whilst I still think that Corbyn has some sympathy for Brexit, my scepticism behind this specific quote is that the source for it is from somebody from the Vote Leave campaign, which as we all know, was incredibly fastidious with the truth throughout the referendum campaign.

What is it exactly you are looking forward to? We are still no nearer to knowing what will actually happen.

 

1. Leaving the EU

 

2. At least y.ou admit that - many Remainers claim to 'know' what will happen

I like how even Buzzjack's most fervent politicos have tuned out of Brexit chat despite No Deal being on the horizon within 48 hours.

I hold very little hope that anything will come of the negotiations and no politician seems willing to grow a back bone against a glorified opinion poll with a tiny margin of victory achieved only by the shattering of electoral law. As for on here, it's the same old same old constantly and I can't keep going round in the same circle with vidcapper for the sake of my own sanity. I can't keep engaging with a f***wit who refuses to back any of their outlandish claims with a shred of evidentiary support.

 

So i'm conserving my energy now for the fight for the restoration of sovereignty to the Kingdom of Scotland. I expect all brexiteers to support us in this quest after all they keep shouting Sovereignty at the top of their lungs.

I don't think I'm quite *that* bad... ;)

You want Scotland to become a KINGDOM if it gains independence? Do you have a prospective Queen or King in mind?

Remain a Kingdom. Scotland has been a Kingdom since the 9th century and the current monarchy of the UK has been the monarchy of the Kingdom of Scotland and seperately of the Kingdom of England since the 1600’s. The current Royal family was our Royal family first so we’ll have them tyvm. Scotland would become another Commonwealth realm like Canada, Australia and New Zealand

Yes but why are you so excited about leaving the EU? What are you expecting to be good about it?

EU rejects the Italian budget: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-45954022

 

*Grabs popcorn*

 

The EU's treatment of some high-debt countries, like Greece, have been used by some on the far-left Eurosceptics to explain their support of Brexit (and I imagine that Corbyn is of that mindset too), so it will be interesting to see the reaction to this.

Indeed. It will be interesting to see how this progresses; the EU can't impose any fines unless the budget deficit exceeds 3 % of GDP (and even when France and Germany did exceed this threshold they fought NOT to impose any fine!)

Plus, imposing a fine on a country already in financial trouble is hardly going to help matters!

The Daily Mail, not known for its habit of questioning the credentials of Leave campaigners, is reporting that an investigation into Arron Banks (who gave almost £10m to UKIP and the Leave campaign) in 2016 was halted by none other than the Home Secretary of the day, one Theresa May. This allegation had previously been made by Labour deputy leader Tom Watson.
Meanwhile, the Tory police COINCIDENTALLY!! start an investigation into the massively overblown vlaims of Labour antisemitism the day after the Brexit and Banks investigations begin. Tories obviously had a word in their ear eh! They will then get Murdoch and the BBtory to run headline after headline about one, but ignore the other ;)

A major new Survation poll gives remain a lead of 8 pts: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/polit...e-a8619431.html

 

It is worth noting that Survation performed the best at predicting the result of the 2017 General Election, however I don't think much can be read into the poll other than noting that the nation continues to be extremely polarised and the result of any future referendum would be too close to call.

The problem with polls on this topic is that they are somewhat meaningless unless there is an actual 2nd referendum rather that a hypothetical one. As much as one would like to see a 2nd vote where Remain wins, once the hypothetical campaigning gets under way, things will once again tilt to the Leave side, as I have little to no trust in the Remain side being able to effective propagandise if such a thing was to take place, even after the mistakes of the first one.

Yes, and Survation predicted a 4 point win for Remain originally (back in June 2016)-

 

Anyway, on actual Brexit news: Latest rumours are that the UK and the EU are close to a deal, possibly by the end of the week with a summit to follow in late November, followed shortly after by a vote in Parliament (27th November?)

The Brexit Secretary admitted yesterday to vastly underestimating just how reliant we are as a country on the Dover-Calais crossing.

 

 

Superb job of this our government are doing.

Dover & Calais will still be there, even after Brexit... ;)

And David Davis, the man eho failed to deliver even a SUPER shit Brexit, was on bbc radio claiming hoe grrat it will be to be in the unelected bureaucratic organisation WTO and how people have spoken in the advisory opinion poll. The BBC didn't challenge him on how he said one time a democracy that can't change its mind is not a democracy and didn't challenge him on what the WTO rules would mean. It sounded like a friendltly old boy chat around a fire. So partisan!!

 

I am sick of these rich posh boys with no clue ruining the country.
