to want a no deal Brexit NOW

I honestly think that a no-deal Brexit followed by recession, blockades, rotting food, empty supermarkets, disappearing multi-natiionals, factories and banks relocating abroad, job losses, more job losses in the hundreds of thousands, civil unrest, rationing and power cuts are the ONLY way to get people to sit up and realise that "the will of the people" was a complete con based on lies and deception and that we actually should be in the EU.

I've often thought about this. But in reality what will happen is brexiters will then either blame the EU or remainers for the resulting problems. At no point will they accept any responsibility for them. You'll have some whinging that they'd been mislead and some who'll still maintain it's for the greater good. I don't think they'll ever be at peace though and will inexplicably probably stay angry forever.

Have you written to your mp? If not stop boring the rest of us with your nonsense and put your 51 days to good use.

Yes, she's been busy 'negotiating'.

All this arguing over Brexit and whose to blame and the vitriol and back biting between the rival factions.

From what I can see, the areas of the UK who voted for Brexit are the poorer ones. You have to ask why those people voted in this way? Could it be due to austerity and feeling disenfranchised?

The politicians never for a moment thought that Leave would win. I was working a night shift on the night of the results and everyone was incredulous when the results started to make it apparent that Leave were going to win.

I think Brexit is a symptom of how fragmented the UK is. Each side calling each other terrible names just demonstrates how far the poorer areas of the UK have fallen behind the richer ones and now things have become worse.

Blame Westminster for this mess, not one another.

MouseUtopia what I don’t understand though, is why vote to leave the EU because of austerity. If anything the poorer parts of the UK received more money in grants from the EU than the UK government, particularly the Tories would have ever spent. I’m thinking of Liverpool as a prime example. Liverpool was majority remain, I’m just using it as an example of an area often neglected by national government, but who received large EU grants. Cornwall is another one that springs to mind

As a non British person living elsewhere, I'm absolutely astounded that NOT KNOWING WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO YOUR COUNTRY is used as an argument for a no deal leaving by Brexiteers.

Absurd, crazy, stupid, arrogant ... I can go on.

I met two 'no dealers' today. They both said they couldn't wait, and that the EU will soon come begging for a deal when we leave, just let them sweat for a bit. One of them actually said 'we all know the EU need us more than we need them'.

If you fancy donating a bit of money, I love these billboards.
