There is no time or procedure to stop it happening. The default position is to leave on 31st Oct.

What parliament did earlier in the year is not applicable now.

Even Oliver Letwin, a staunch remainer and who took over parliament has conceded, that he and his quisling friends have no chance of stopping a NO deal

Do you really think EU gives two monkeys about the GFA? I doubt even Dublin is honestly that interested in it.

Strange of you to reply to but not to quote my post, no problem, I spotted it anyway. 

 

Your first point, assumption. 

 

Your second, A) yes B) you’re wrong.

What does the Good Friday Agreement say about a hard border?

A lot less than you might think. The only place in which it alludes to infrastructure at the border is in the section on security.

During the Troubles there were heavily fortified army barracks, police stations and watchtowers along the border. They were frequently attacked by Republican paramilitaries.

Part of the peace deal involved the UK government agreeing to a process of removing those installations in what became known as "demilitarisation".

The agreement states that "the development of a peaceful environment... can and should mean a normalisation of security arrangements and practices."

The government committed to "as early a return as possible to normal security arrangements in Northern Ireland, consistent with the level of threat".

That included "the removal of security installations". That is as far as the text goes.

The Good Friday Agreement is far more complex than brexiteers, such as yourself, would have us believe. 

 

Oh, and don’t lecture me about the situation in NI during the troubles.

Can you read? That is taken from the GFA and is all it has to say about borders. Nothing else whatsoever.

It's just used a tactic from remoaners to garner support

The Good Friday Agreement is about much more than borders. 

 

Why not read it.

I've read it and extracted the part about borders. Nothing more, nothing less

What more is there to understand in this context regarding Brexit?

You are making an issue for the sake of it.

Oh and it was the govt of Eire that moved to protect it from the effects of brexit and raised the issue with every govt of the EU, not me.

It’s the reason Eire raised the issue with every govt in the EU to ensure it formed part of the negotiations with the uk. 

[Basil B]

They have just agreed to spend £2.1 billion on plans for Boris's "one million to one" long shot...

That's about £100 for every household in the UK, more ferry contracts for friends of friends who would not know Port from Starboard.????

There are only three ways no deal can be prevented on October 31. Either parliament approves a Brexit deal; or the UK and EU agree an extension; or the government revokes Article 50 altogether. If none of these three things happens, then the legal default is no deal and Britain slides off the cliff edge.

Nope, the poster I quoted was happy to accept parliament rejecting mays deal but doesn’t seem to accept it rejecting a no deal.. I was exploring this apparent contradiction. 

[HHTel]

People think that as parliament rejected a no deal scenario that it can't happen.  If there is no extension and an agreement hasn't been reached by Oct 31st, then the UK will crash out without a deal by default and parliament can do nothing about it.

Can't the EU postpone the date? Or does it need positive UK acquiescence?

Parliament enacted (with a huge majority) article 50 which stipulates leaving Deal or No deal.

 

Parliament rejected May's deal 3 times by record margins.

 

Hope that clears it up.

A slight correction.

It was Juncker's deal, May just went there to listen & sign.

She doesn't deserve any credit for anything in the

last 3 years.

It's not just about the GFA. No one apart from the extreme Brexiters, wants a hard border between the UK and Eire in the North of Ireland.

 

Again, those political leaders pushing for a no-deal probably have plans to financially benefit by creating one.

Wrong. Brexiteers don’t want a border.
EU Ireland and Remainers want the threat of one to try and prevent Brexit. Well that threat is not working. Have you ordered those bricks yet?

Unlikely to be politicians who benefit, unless they are connected to Irish smugglers.
