'Increasingly likely' or 50/50? So a 50% chance it won't?

Another reason never to vote labour again.

I know JITW and he's sensible. My PhD student, a lifelong tory voter (in her short life, admittedly) told me today she's voting labour. It seems that although we can't rerun the referendum, people feel we can take revenge. And this is despite everything (the shadow home secretary in particular). May has misjudged the electrorate. Back to Brexit, we are up against the entire rest of them over there. They may take pity on us, but would you, seriously? We have behaved like children, and we will get a smack before bedtime, not a warm drink, a cuddle and a story
Using aviation as an example, because JITW likes to go on about it. Too many powerful people will lose a lot of money if planes aren't allowed to land in the UK because of a certificate. If that even becomes a remote possibly the money men will flex their muscle and force the politicians to come up with a solution, even if it's temporary. Politicians don't rule the world, money does.

Looks like he's just bought the Sun and a 6 pack of super T!
Looks like the bloke in the grubby house at the end of the street that you would tell your kids never to talk to, and to tell another adult if he approaches them.

It's the coverage of the mail and sun that make me so proud of the campaign my party has run. They probably won't win of course but in the face of this pathetic coverage, they've done an amazing job.
On the subjective point - You know the Mail et all would like to return to Thatcherite approach to terrorism and we all know how well that went. About as well as May's latest sledgehammer tactics.
Fantastic. The landscape after Brexit (if 'hard') will be dictated by the money men. You are probably correct. That's the problem.

Exciting and an opportunity, indeed.
Just think if Mrs May walks away with no deal and therefore we have to trade with the rest of the world under WT terms. Tariffs on exports and imports are applied, but this is where the excitement and opportunity arises.
WT terms are not just tariffs but they involve quotas, and guess what the UKs quota comes under the umbrella of the EUs quota, therefore what quota applies to the UK once it is fully divorced from the EU. No one knows, so we may not even be able to trade with the rest of the world as we have no quota, and how long will this take to resolve, what fun and a great opportunity to be able to set our new quota,
Roll on 2019

Yep. Wellthickwoody strikes again.
Talks about his own life as if that was the case for everyone in the country and assumes that the youth of today are all clearing off to Vegas and driving around in 20k cars.
It is so far from the truth it's incredible.
Narrow minded numb nuts.

Don't wait for me!
The right wing tax haven press are so desperate for a dictatorship. Shame so many ignorant voters will pander to it. The lack of empathy in this country depresses me.
Better start saving up your pennies for a doctors appointment, as the (Tory drooled) Naylor report will kill the NHS.

Today's Mail and Express headlines have shown a new level of desperation and bitterness today. Almost libel in fact. But, they will get away with it as usual.

Spot on glad some on here are seeing through all this for what it is, a desperate attempt by May to gain a late advantage with nationalistic rectoric to appeal to the ignoramuses. Her Brexit plans in this area won't make us safer with restricted access to key information on European databases. Clegg hits the nail on the head

No deal isn't an option
Notice the Tories still aren't talking about the economy in this election. OK, understandably security has been high everyone's minds but they've avoided it for 6 weeks, Labour pretty much the same.
Meanwhile er have staggering growth of just 0.2% in last quarter, 3 months of falling house prices in a row, rising inflation and falling living standards. This election was supposed to be all about Brexit, but its the elephant in the room that nobody wants to talk about.

We can start with the Mail headline, I cannot be bothered to read beyond the first lie.
Maybe it should read, individuals with a more enlightened approach on how to deal with terrorism? As I said earlier - The right wing media, May and many on here see only one Thatcher style blunt approach to terrorism and we know it doesn't work, has never worked and never will work. Corbyn, as many here have been only too willing to point out, was in dialogue with Sinn Fein, that's a success story not something to beat him with. Corbyn was condemning Saddam while Thatcher was selling him weapons, the Mail et al are strangely quiet about such things.
And May is busy selling Arms to the Saudis.

You get gree healthcare. You get free education. YOu have the right to travel!!
What are you moaning about?
If you want what your parents, go and ****ing work for it, because I think you will you find your parents generation worked a lot harder than this one.
Let the Children have their day!!! Are you for real. Labour will cripple your children with more and more debt. Can people like you not understand you need to pay for things, and if you turn to the rich and screw everything out of them, they will **** off somewhere else before you can bleed them completely dry.

No not at all. Just the ones that stop us attacking against terrorists. But then I think you already knew that but had to have a comeback.
