One of them asked how May can represent the U.K. in negotiations when she has no power or authority. They have a point.

Nah, I don’t think we should have a King and Queen, an elected Head if state is the way forward.
It’s all about democracy, these days.

I'm sure the police would prefer to be drafted to Traffic Duty in Kent, than Security Duty in Northern Ireland.

Exactly right, it is not the same question. This time you would be voting on an agreement reached between the UK Government and the EU. There is a clear choice, rather than the vague indeterminate notion we voted on before.
The fact is parliament is not able to resolve this issue, there is no majority in the house for may's deal, there is no majority for no-deal, and I very much doubt there is any majority for Labour's proposed Brexit either (although testing it in on last time may not be a bad thing). We are at an impasse that parliament seems to be unable to break, I cannot see how this can resolved without with either a confirmatory vote or a general election that changes the players in the game.
May has totally messed this up, leaving aside the early painting of the red lines, the waste of the last four months has been not only scandalous but irresponsible in that we are left with such a short amount of time to sort this mess out.

I cannot respect the result of a referendum that has been proved to be corrupt with VoteLeave breaking the law.

I like this analogy, one of the better ones out there.
We can leave, of course we can. We can close the border with NI, and do our own thing as best we can.
But of course most people want to both LEAVE and be GREAT Britain with all the wondrous things that being GREAT Britain means.
I will always beleive that people didn't really vote for Britain to leave the EU, but for the EU itself to be disbanded. So much of what was promised to us by the Leave campaign would only be possible if the EU itself didn't exist. Farage would continually talk about the end of the EU project and about how it is failing, because Britain being a successful non-EU nation is only really possible in a world where the EU doesn't exist.
I woke up this morning with the radio interviewing some tw@t saying the we would be alright "cause there lots of rabbits and we can grow vegetables in the garden"
So I decided that the radio will be off and streaming a play list while I work from home, will help my sanity

Revoke Article 50. We don't need anyone's approval for that.
Then if the government think they can produce a deal, after a general election, produce a deal, get it through Parliament, and then invoke Article 50 again.
The poll suggests otherwise.

Starting to get very depressed with this whole shambles. I did vote remain but just want the leaving process sorted as soon as possible.
Having a decent income, savings & investments build up over 40 years, most changes that will result from our leaving will not affect me unduly.
Yes, I will probably have to pay more for the goods imported from Europe with the loss of the single market benefits, but without sounding smug, I can afford it. What's sad to me is it's likely to be the poorest in our communities that are going to get hit the hardest and who I genuinely feel sorry for as if often the case.
Just hoping some sensible compromise can be made so at least we leave on decent terms.

If the Brexiteer Tory MP's don't want the Brexit deal ask the public for ratification. We've been in this position since July 2018. Europe has had enough of our internal nationalist tantrum...

What is the point in extending Article 50 if the EU have said that's it ?
I'm guessing that the government will keep trying for 'meaningful votes until they get the result.
There's an irony here when it comes to attacking those wanting a second referendum.

Tory Brexiters holding May to ransom - https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politic...-dozen-eurosceptic-ministers-could-quit-back/ over something the EU has said is not acceptable.
Brilliant.

when have “the poorest in our communities” ever been a concern for the Tory party though?

The NSC poll? Certainly as unrepresentive as the first Brexit poll was!
