Spot on. Amusing to see people who are brazenly partisan, contemptous and dismissive of all things Brexit suddenly bemoaning the lack of concensus building

She's gone by Thursday night.
Maybe even after the vote today.

Because they had planned to stay, and then Japan got a deal with the EU that meant they could export to the EU without tariffs.

How are you remoaners explaining this?

Remoaners? I didn't think you were a brexiteer? Are you just coining their phrase or have you politically shifted?

No idea.Is that the third or fourth time you have predicted her demise?
Not even the limpet can survive this week.

For a vote of this magnitude and on a day this critical to see the Tory benches not packed to the rafters behind their PM, it makes you wonder.

Also GM closing plants in the US , Ford closing facilities in Germany, France and many other manufacturers are restructuring but don't tell the remoaners because by god they will find a link to Brexit!
I like to try and just look at the facts. Brexit is a shit show, completely cocked up by our MPs. But that doesn't mean we should attribute things that aren't because of Brexit, to Brexit. The facts speak for themselves, throwing in other crap takes away from the anti-Brexit argument. It's just the same as calling everyone who's in favour of Brexit thick. That's no way to win an argument or persuade others of your argument, yet that's most of what we read here.

Certainly looks likely now.
Is there a 3-line whip for the Labour Party tonight, or is this a free vote ?
Some, like Caroline Flint (and 30 odd others) seemed to imply last week they would be voting for it.
Oh for sure, there have been some deplorable people on the Remain side too. But ultimately the Remain camp haven't been the ones who've found themselves having to be in a position to build consensus for their decision, the Leave side were. And they blew it. Spectacularly.

Fair enough. Not sure using he term "remoaner" is the best way to go about that though. It comes across as favouring one (of the two extreme) side and thus contributes to the very thing you are trying to mitigates against in bold above.
Whatever transpires, this has been an epic cock-up of Pythonesque proportions. I have seen colleagues at work fall out over this (some of our well-respected -or so I thought - European workers, were visibly hurt/upset/angry at the gloating of the Leave camp), I myself have blocked (and been blocked) by so-called friends on social media.
Yet, here we are, still none the wiser (if we ever were) and still at each other's throats.
This referendum was akin to chucking a loaded pistol inbetween two infants and waiting to see what happened.
I just think it's all so, so sad.
