I believe Morgan are the largest British-owned car maker. Last time I looked they were still made partly out of wood. Rule Britannia.

More likely, I think this could get cross party support and probably the DUP
The Brexiteers would hate it as we get to keep our FOM rights, but they are essentially only 15% of MP's, a similar % of the public want the extreme Brexit they favour

I've edited my question so you can understand it.
"I'd say that the Leave option you favour (ie - not the Norway option, Chequers, or May's current offering but something much 'harder') was almost certainly not supported by a majority of voters in 2016 and it surely isn't now. Do you claim otherwise?
I’m not sure if you know how my post came about but during a discussion about US imports [MENTION=14132]Two Professors[/MENTION] stated, “American beef” is better than U.K. Numerous posts followed stating the quality, or lack of, mass produced US beef. He then tried to claim he was talking about Argentinian beef. I actually felt sorry for him as he tried to dig his way out of his hole...publicly making himself look even more stupid, not to mention dishonest.

Can anyone help me with this? I don't understand why 2p thinks a Morgan car might mine my head.

Because it was deliberately vague, if they had said at the start we would either leave the EU completely and be stuck on WTO terms for a long while, or we would get a deal that looks like the one May has served up, it wouldn't have won.

A remainer trying to make Brexiteers look stunningly thick maybe?

I think two profs may be employed by Bozza to make all NSC posters feel good about themselves (even Ppf). He can't be real, Shirley

The big problem is that *no deal* doesn't have to go through, it just happens.
Parliament cannot stop it - the Government has to stop it. Sure Parliament can vote to stop it, but no cigar if the Government doesn't bring forward the legislation.
If DisMay gets ousted and a Zealot takes over then they just run the clock down - barring a 2/3rds vote for collapsing the Government. Even DisMay could choose to run down the clock to disaster - and we all know she is a *bloody difficult woman*.

That is now *the dream*, but depends on who is PM. Would need the Government to collapse and a cross-party Government to be formed - but who would be PM ?
What you say is true but I wouldn't be so sure about no deal being the inevitable consequence. If May's proposal is voted down (which it probably will be), it's not clear what would happen. But, the idea that a hard Brexiteer could take over and push ahead with no deal has complications. First of all, there are several Tories who have said they will leave the party if that happens - it only needs half a dozen to do this and the government has no majority and is in danger of a no confidence vote.
And it's not the prominent rebels. No deal would be an economic disaster for the country and most MPs (save a few head bangers) know this. So, a rebellion may not be contained to the small group of Tory Remainers (Clarke, Soubry, Grieve etc) who have protested so far. They may not actually leave the party but may make life really difficult for the leader.
I'm not totally convinced a zealot would win the leadership either. As the vast majority of MPs don't want to leave on WTO terms, they may be reluctant to vote in someone whose inclination is to do that. I suspect that a new leader would be far more emollient towards Labour as he or she will want to get some sort of deal done.

So actually trump is right...under the back stop, we are not allowed to trade with anyone other than the EU due to customs regs etc.
I never thought I would ever say that! I feel dirty.

A Brexiteer in the present cabinet you'd think - Javid, Gove or the nakedly ambitious Hunt.
