Just watched Andrew Marr,now if the SNP and Labour have got their red lines but are not prepared to budge on them what makes everybody think the Govt should move on theirs.
Total cock up all round if nobody wants to compromise then no deal it is because there is no other option!

Actually, there is. Be a grown up, acknowledge it for the costly, embarrassing, destructive, divisive clusterf*ck that it is and forget about the whole stupid idea.

We didn't call a boat 'Boaty McBoatface' despite the Will of the People saying we should because it was patently a stupid idea, neither should we do this. At the very least not without further consultation now YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE GETTING.

There are many other options than no deal. Stop blaming the wrong people for this cock up, it's all on the heads of Brexiteers, May, and her government.

The fact that it is, by some distance, the most sensible option and yet nobody is really championing it speaks volumes for what a mess this country is right now.

Theresa May has a difficult job but she hasn't helped herself by calling an election which shrunk her majority, she then went about the negotiations with her three amigos and pursued her own deal without getting anybody on side

It should be no surprise to anyone that in representative democracy, you have to compromise if you want to get things through. She has continually failed to understand that

She still is determined to force her deal through to preserve her own fate


I believe Farage himself has said we need a smooth transition and you only get that with a soft Brexit I'm afraid.

Those doggedly sticking to the hard Brexit scenario are being conned by people who are far too rich for it to be truly effect them, in fact in some cases, those who invest money will make good money out of the turbulence by transferring investments out of this country and into safer areas

Didn’t really try to lay the blame on anyone did I? Just said no wonder there is no compromise if they all have their red lines and no one will budge.

I honestly think that most people over 16 in the UK, given the choice of how to set about offering a Referendum on this matter IF they were forced to (which obviously Cameron & Co weren't) and how to deal with any outcome, would have

1. Required a 60%-40% majority for any change to the status quo
2. If there'd been 60%+ vote to leave, would have a) set up cross party talks to discuss the best way of achieving Brexit b) made a decision on that and c) only then invoked Article 50.

Unfortunately we lackthe political system, and hence political leaders, with the intelligence/common sense/integrity/selflessness/sense of responsibility to have gone down that route.

Agreed.

And of course if we had a national media with any real integrity, there wouldn't have been decades of propaganda and lies predominantly against the EU and in favour of right-wing Eurosceptics.

The last 3 years have been about trying to emerge from an overall ignorant and dangerous mindset to deal with reality.

So to reverse the result you say it would have to be 60 - 40 in way of remain?

Does anybody actually think that if the result was as close the other way round our politicians would have given a stuff about the minorty vote and argued that their voice has to be heard! Not on your life.

No mate, I'm the opposite of dim. It's amazing how little responsibility you Brexiteers are willing to take for the situation that you're now claiming it's the fault of remainers that leave won. It's not down to all those people who voted leave at all, no siree.

The first thing we should do is say we are staying until the current funding cycle ends in 2020. We've paid or will be paying for it so we might as well use that time to come up with something else. We would need to elect MEPs but who cares?

I do think this saga is coming to an end though (at least the most critical stage) as long as we have those indicative votes in parliament. I think parliament will vote against revoking article 50 but instead vote for a second referendum.
