Very true, we were mislead,many would say conned into voting to join a common trading union in 1975. Aferwhich as you well know, the establishment has since deceitfully transformed into the present day political so called E.u. However the thinking people,have woken up to the reality of this monstrosity. And we will never accept it.

ive lived in the UK for 50 years and can honestly say the UK being in a common trading union or EU has never affected any of my jobs income,standard of living,or human rights and i cannot think of anyone who has been affected,i probably speak for 99% of the population,the other 1% being a few grumpy old fisherman who must be in their 80s and 90s now,ya typical leave voters,retired folks living in the past with no money worries.

Unfortunately the 'no brexit' option is on a timer. Time people woke up to the potential outcome from the other 2 scenarios. The current 'plan' could end up in an FTA that is very similar to being in the EU but without any say, so what is to be gained.

You are only speaking out of self interest, the majority voted leave.

That must be why the majority, voted to leave this so called Union.

1% being a larger number than 52%.

 

In the event of a CETA type agreement, or probably any other agreement, the UK would swap one court for another.

 

One of the provisions of the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement between Canada and the European Union, known as CETA, was a mechanism to handle disputes between governments and investors. The International Court System (ICS), a new EU-Canadian permanent court, was created to help resolve such disputes.

This can mean only one thing. With all the extra businesses, EU will desperately need more workers. 

 

Fortunately we can import cheap immigrants from UK to do the hard work. The way Brexit is going, they'll settle with minimum salaries and possibility to eat Fish and chips.

The British people didn't get us into any mess. They were just given a binary choice and made the decision the way they did.

It's all on the politicians who have messed things up, by taking a half hearted, let's-hope-we-can-figure-a-way-out-of-actually-going-through-with-this approach, starting by appointing a leader who was a remainer.

Yah, because under a different leadership Ireland wouldn’t have been an EU member, and Northern Ireland wouldn’t have been part of the UK. 

 

Truth is: The Ireland issue exists much longer than the word Brexit. So everyone who voted for Brexit knew exactly that he was voting for what is on the table now: a hard border in Ireland or a soft Brexit to prevent such. There’s nothing in between. So, yes, the people got you into this mess. 

 

The only thing you can blame on the politicians is: first, that they actually started this whole nonsense. That’s Cameron’s fault. Second, that they didn’t learn from they mistake and actually decided to go through with it. That’s May’s fault. She could as well have called this Desaster off well before it would unfold. 

 

But then the debate probably would have turned even more populist and violent. So I guess after all it is better that people actually learn the consequences of listening to the lies of the far right.

and then all those young people who the brexiteers have denied the opportunity to have the freedom to live and work in an expanding EU will come gunning for you

 A few problems with your statement:

 

1. Youth unemployment is massive in some EU countries, unlike the UK. I posted the figures a few week ago.

2. British people will continue to be able to work and live anywhere in the world after Brexit, just as they were before the EU. Having worked in over 25 countries I'm sure of that.

3. The EU cannot expand significantly, unless it creeps into the Middle East or North Africa.

4. The largest and most rapid economic expansion is occurring outside of the EU (this has been an argument for Leave for a few years now).

in 50 years i was never once told by anyone in my family at my work or in the pub or walking down the street that we should leave the EU,a few raised eyebrows about the banana's and lbs and ounces issue's but other than that nothing,most were creaming themselves because they could bring back more cigs and booze when they travelled to the EU plus no hold ups at borders,so most actually loved it,the vote was won for leave because of a nationalistic theory that British people or more so English are better and we know how to do things better because of 2 world wars and 1966,this is mentality of a failed nation that the UK is these days,benefit scroungers and folks living in the past,i wouldnt have any faith in a brit running a bath never mind a country of 80 million,oh and just to top things of we will soon have the honour of JC as our leader....it doesnt get any worse.

This is not true. The WTO does not require a hard border. I have posted numerous politicians and commentators to that effect. There are already at least 2 soft EU borders.

 

May is a remainer, as we all know. Some say she was suckered into the backstop after a sleepless night flight to Brussels; after that trip her cabinet were apparently told that it was just political feelgood noise, not binding. These two points have been reported several times in the quality mainstream press.

 

I believe there is a 3rd possible explanation: that May wants to stay in the CU, and is using the NI border to achieve that goal. But now it's backfiring on her.

But get this through your head, even if treacherous May is successful in thwarting the will of the people. This will not go away. In fact when the Bureacrats return to implimenting their future ideas for the E.U.

the call for leaving the E.U. will only increase.

There is no "no brexit" option. May has started using this phrase in an attempt to bounce some of her PMs into supporting Chequers (or whatever she's calling her new plan). In my opinion it will backfire on her. But we'll have to wait and see. Certainly the initial Tory and Parliamentary response has not been favourable for her.

Of course, every agreement needs an arbitration mechanism, and everybody accepts that. The problem with the ECJ is that it has grown like topsy and has a much larger remit than trade disputes. Otherwise Leavers wouldn't have objected so strongly to it.

You are completely wrong about "no brexit", I'm afraid May actually told the truth on that one. The Tory MP Alistair Burt sent a twitter comment to a member of the ERG group warning him that Remainer MPs in parliament will back away from their agreement to go along with Brexit if faced with a "no deal" scenario. He is right. If they decide to work together then a second referendum will be voted through. The danger for the ERG is that if they try to force "no deal" through parliament they will end up with "no brexit". My prediction is that if a deal is not agreed with the EU (May's or some other) there will be a second vote.
