Now look at this instead.
All regions except London prefer no deal.

Strange the Telegraph publishing that . . .

ERG are the only group in the commons respecting the referendum and manifesto.

That is hilarious, how people try to rewrite history. Nowhere was it stated that a no-deal was the preferred option. That tweet listed by Stolly shows so many comments and statements (including in the official referendum document itself) about different trade deal options. No deal was never the preferred option. It is very much a case of now that the unicorn deal has not materialized people are retrospectively deciding that No-deal was the will of the people.

Not as hilarious as the Para's using a picture of Corbyn as target practice. Only thing missing was a picture of Dianne Abbot alongside it.

[DrPatrickBarry]

That is not even remotely funny. I am amazed you could write something like that. One person shoots at targets, somebody else shoots at real people. After Jo Cox, we know only too well how true that it.

I am not quoting it and if I were you I would delete it.

By the same account, it was also never stated that "leaving" meant "leaving with a deal" (a deal that is always going to be skewed in favour of the EU.

Coming from a relatively impartial viewpoint (i did not vote in the referendum, i don't think it will matter a jot if we are in or out, given the clowns on all sides of government) i think the claims that people didn't vote to leave with a clean break, is pretty far-fetched. That's certainly how i interpreted it at the time.

Simplified politics post no.3

When Theresa May sticks to her guns, and refuses to budge in negotiations with the EU, and also with other parties in our government, she is "burying her head in the sand" "ignorant and arrogant" "and a terrible negotiator"

Yet when the EU appear to employ the same tactics, and appear to refuse to budge on their negotiated deal, the same accusations are not levelled at them...

They most definitly did vote that way. But so many people thought in doing so they would also be able to keep many of the benefits of the single market becasue the UK is so important to the EU that the EU would bend all the rules to minimise the damage.

Some of the comments lower down are probably the most important. Piers Morgan, along with many other idiotic Brexiteers will just stick his fingers in his ears and go La, La, La, when somebody tries to hightlight how wrong they are.

He voted Remain apparently but thinks the referendum result should be respected and enacted. Such a shame so many other Remainers can't do the same.

I wonder what the benefits of the single market are.

not a lot to argue with here.
