There isn't a need for all of them from everyone, but if you and I are debating, it is useful to know what each others views are. Apparently, immigration is not a major issue for most of you, but it might be the most important thing for you.

As a majority in some polls say they want no deal, we may have to face the fact that the majority of the public are thick, or at least not using their heads.

You need to factor in the (apparently very significant) proportion of respondents to those polls, who mistakenly think that 'no deal' means cancelling the whole thing.

I think they can also be lumped in as thick or not using their heads too, even the remainy ones it's hard news to miss, you would have to actively avoid it, yet still want to talk to someone doing a survey on it.
There are some people who want it for Machiavellian reasons, these people are not thick, they are heartless *****.

Councils warned of school meals planning for no deal.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-49397728

Other councils, such as North Tyneside, report that "special dietary requirements may be difficult to meet" and that "if fresh produce is difficult to come by" schools should "increase use of tins and frozen goods".

Many councils say that prices for school meals will rise, and central government funding for free school meals will have to increase.

Some also mention the possible use of food banks. Slough has contacted food banks in its area to check contingency plans for food shortages, and some Scottish councils have already increased funding for extra provision from food banks.

So, if Jezza had whipped his comrades into line and they'd voted for May, would it have passed?

Yes it would, but in every practical sense your point is illogical. The opposition, which is in a minority, has a position on Brexit which differs from the government's. You cannot blame it for not abandoning its position in order to support a government that, by virtue of the fact it has a majority, should have been able to get its own bills through on its own.

The government failed to do so because of Brexiteer rebels in its own ranks.

I am not, incidentally, defending the Labour Party's policy on Brexit.

Plus of course 'no deal' is a misnomer. The question is not whether or not there will be a deal, but whether the deal will be struck before or after our departure.

If it's the latter then the UK will have to negotiate from a position of terrible relative weakness... In a corner... short of time... devoid of options. In a far, far worse position than it would be if a deal was genuinely pursued while we are members. And the EU knows it.

This is the state of absolute nakedness that the self-styled no deal hard men want to drive our country into. To compare our situation with that of a card player is amateur and foolish.

No Brexit didn't cost my wife her job. All I'm saying is that there is work, there will always be work.

Will there? In Redcar, and in Jarrow, and in Neath? After a further economic turn-down? Once those on the fringes of 'managing' take second jobs? Once people with depleted pension pots each choose / need to work an extra year or two?

That's a relief then.
