All seems to indicate that it's now crunch time for the UK. In the style of another active thread, I'd like to ask you all what you'd go for if given a binary choice between No Deal at all with the EU or Remain.
No blame game or mud slinging, just simple polite answers please.

As for the Irish border, as someone who has regularly travelled across the Swiss/French border I get really angry that people are making such an issue about it

This is a parody, right? No-one could type such utter tripe in earnest.

Got to be one!
Everyone else must learn to think outside of the box.

Just imagine if the whole EU thing falls apart because other countries realise that they too can run their own show.

Did someone just compare the Irish border to cheese? Wtf?

God it’s even worse when you put it like that. I despair.

Japonicaisstillahorsygirl · 05/10/2018 20:10

No deal

Benjaminbuttonschild · 05/10/2018 20:14

Silvercollie - I can't even be bothered to signify that with a response - it's been done to death.

EnthusiasmIsDisturbed · 05/10/2018 20:15

Remain

But accepted the referendum result

I do have reservations about the EU but it’s a working progress and we are no longer part of that

We should never have had a referendum I put the blame on MP’s for supporting the referendum knowing that the result was going to be stood by without even bothering to debate it what utter incompetence of them all

BunsyGirl · 05/10/2018 20:15

Bumbkeymummy. Don’t WTF me. It is a possible solution and I know that it is not about driving across a border. The Swiss model offers a very soft form of a hard border. It’s a compromise. That’s what we have to do. Instead, the answer to everything on here seems to be to insult someone if you do not agree with their opinion.

MummatoaMunchin · 05/10/2018 20:15

Remain

FabulousTomatoes · 05/10/2018 20:16

Glovesick · 05/10/2018 20:21

BubblegumFactory · 05/10/2018 20:22

Remain
And can we just remain now and all this leave bollocks just go away?
Like today
Right now

Ye Talk Shite Did someone just compare the Irish border to cheese? Wtf?

Stop insulting me and read the article in the Irish independent that did just that.

Meinmytree · 05/10/2018 20:23

Remain. Always was, always will be.

The EU has personally helped me. I have a degree in French and Spanish, for which a year abroad was compulsory. I was able to afford this thanks to EU funding. Without this, I couldn't have afforded it, and therefore would have been unable to complete my degree.

So much of the leave campaign was based on lies. £350m a week extra for the NHS? Sounds like a lot of money. But when you then compare it to the amount we spend on other things, it's peanuts.

I know one person who voted leave because she thought it was a vote to get rid of David Cameron! That definitely wasn't a well thought out vote, and a vote that helped to seriously screw up our country. People voted to halt immigration. The immigrants they're mainly referring to are those coming from outside the EU, how is leaving the EU going to make a difference there?

And now we're stuck with someone trying to get us a "deal" who couldn't negotiate her way out of a paper bag.

Before the referendum I couldn't understand the point, I was certain that it would be a remain vote, and we'd carry on as normal. I was shocked when the results were announced. I then hoped that we'd end up like, say, Norway.

I'm now getting more and more scared about what will happen, and I really do hope that someone, somewhere will find a reason as to why we have to call the whole thing off. I've even just sent an email to the EU about it. But as it gets closer, I'm despairing more and more.

Can the last one to flee the wreck of our country please turn out the lights.

Yes, multilateralism is down to countries not being able to 'run their own show'.

God, it's painful.

BubblegumFactory · 05/10/2018 20:24

Oh and comparing NI / Ireland border to Switzerland / France is deeply insulting to anyone who lived in any way with the consequences of the troubles.
Seriously, please do some reading on the issue if you don’t get it

Benjaminbuttonschild · 05/10/2018 20:25

Stop getting uptight @BunsyGirl. Asking wtf isn't an insult it's a question.

SmiledWithTheRisingSun · 05/10/2018 20:28

NotBeforeCoffee · 05/10/2018 20:29

As about 10 percent of the electricity used in the UK comes from France, they can turn it off remotely!
