..to ask all Leave supporters ( and anyone else) to write to their MP and say you will accept an NI only backstop so that we can leave the EU in an orderly way on 31 October 2019?

Just that. We could leave on that basis . The EU is up for it. Are you?

Why do you want a No Deal Brexit? What are the advantages?

StrippingTheVelvet · 10/08/2019 20:51

@bellinisurge I would. It's the only way forward, TM knew this years ago when in initial talks with the EU. Serious question though, my MP is from SF, is it pointless to write to her as she doesn't sit?

isadoradancing123 · 10/08/2019 21:03

Flouncy fanny, for fuck sake, you cant have a northern ireland backstop, its in the republic of ireland

Whatafackinliberty · 10/08/2019 21:05

Nah if we're leaving I now want it to be No Deal.

I want the knuckle dragging drongos who voted for this to suffer.

bellinisurge · 10/08/2019 21:05

@Chocolatepeanuts , how about writing to the PM himself?

bellinisurge · 10/08/2019 21:07

@isadoradancing123 NI is not in the Republic. The "yet" is silent if we No Deal. Or am I misunderstanding you?

SF will not take their seats. It’s against the whole mandate of the party.

Chocolatepeanuts · 10/08/2019 21:12

@bellinisurge ha I don't think the PM would take much notice of a letter from me! I am disgusted with hiw this has gone, and I have learnt so much from yourself and other posters but I'm not good at putting my strong feelings and opinions into words on paper

@flouncyfanny I think if SF haven't taken their seats by now they never will. Part of me thinks at this point they want this to go to the wire to push for a border poll asap.

isadoradancing123 · 10/08/2019 21:12

I know its not in the republic, but the republic will remain in the EU , and its the only country in the eu with a land border therefore you cant have a hard backstop for northern ireland

WiseUpJanetWeiss · 10/08/2019 21:16

No I would not like to see the UK split up like that and I dont think people from N.Ireland would like violence to return if we did

The backstop is dead it would be madness to bring it back a 4th time. All this angst trying to stop us leaving the EU is destroying the UK. Its to late to turn back, the people and parliament voted to leave so we need to leave the EU in October and start to bring the people of the UK back together

I have no words.

isadoradancing123 · 10/08/2019 21:16

I dont need a map to know that there is a land border which is crossed by many people several times a day,

Sunflowers11 · 10/08/2019 21:18

Oh another Brexit thread Biscuit

isadoradancing123 · 10/08/2019 21:18

A border poll, most people in the republic do not want a united 32 county ireland, a border poll would have to work both ways

hobnobsaremyfavourite · 10/08/2019 21:18

You can't cure stupid

mummmy2017 · 10/08/2019 21:19

Please explain what the violence will be about. Has life and people not move on, are you really saying people will have so little self control.
Also technology has moved on from where it was, there is CCTV, hiding will be harder.

I do wonder what people will find to talk / argue about when it's all done and dusted.

Do you really think that that it will all be over if we leave/remain in October? Think again. The country will remain split with remainers wanting to rejoin if we've left and Brexiteers demanding to leave if we haven't. And many Brexiteers demanding a no deal if we've left with any sort of a deal at all.

This will not be over for a generation - if ever :(

Iggly · 10/08/2019 21:22

I’d like to know why people have a problem with the back stop.

Idiots.
