There is very little Boris can do if the EU won't renegotiate a deal, they have pushed us into a corner and they are not bothered who it hurts, including themselves.

Boris can do very little indeed.  Per terms of the European Union Withdrawal Act 2018 he cannot, for example, take the UK out of the EU unless Parliament passes an additional act approving the terms of withdrawal which can only be the terms that Parliament has already rejected three times, since the EU has announced that no new terms will be agreed.  The letter under Article 50 of the LIsbon treaty merely announced the UK's intention to withdraw and does not effect the actual withdrawal itself.  

 

The UK will remain in the EU.

Boris doesn't have to do anything, it is in British law that we leave on the 31st of Oct, have you forgot that the majority of parliament voted to leave by triggering Art50.

However if it reassures you believing such nonsense, you keep believing it.

No it's European Law - parliament has not yet passed the withdrawal act, so we could end up in the situation where we are out of the EU according to EU law but not have any UK legislation ready to enable this!

No new laws, hardly a big deal.

No need for any new laws at all in reality, everything is already covered.

IMHO we should just roll back to the ten commandments, no need for any other laws.

Then we could just shoot the whole of the legal profession and live in a better world.

But for the poster to suggest that "the UK will remain in the EU" is pie in the sky, not impossible, but highly improbable. It would take parliament to pass a law for us to remain in the EU to which parliament looks very reluclant to do at the time.

Time is not on the remainers side to start their over turning of the referendum.

Would this be a fair assumption?

Unfortunately, Britain thinks it can negotiate a deal that the EU doesn't want to give it. The EU is holding all the cards.

The only only cards that the EU will be holding are its citizens P45s.

30% of Germany's car exports go to the UK.

If there's no deal, Germany will be left holding all the cards!

This comes from the poster who suggested to nuke to Irish troublemakers (including N Ireland).

Should we become scared now?

What a quality poster.... counterarguments are futile.
