So we're reaching total melt-down on Brexit. As anyone sane had predicted.

Boris, egged on by Farage, is making Brussels the scapegoat, and the great masses are baying for no-deal... the US trade deal from Trump and his nutters as some panacea to our woes. Whitehall and local government are in melt down over readiness and budgets for readiness are insufficient, immigration and customs processes are years from being fit for purpose. The Irish border and renewed border and sectarian tensions seem completely insurmountable, technology a red-herring.

Business, academia, and the vast majority of experts state no-deal is extremely damaging; period. The benefits for leaving even after many years of bedding in our exit, looks flawed.

Brazil rain forests, Iran, the Russia threat, being stronger in a trading block rather than alone against large scale emerging economies, makes the well-informed think we should be align with our forward thinking European neighbours, rather than the loony populists such as Trump.

Now the saner voices in Parliament are aligning with the lefty voices in Corbyn's 'opposition' to stop the madness, but they will be demonised by the right wing press as 'stopping democracy'... and uproar commences. Parliament slated - the populist conspiracy theorists become ascendant.

All the while Boris (often likeable) b@llsh!ts and you have to wonder is there enough uproar to him lying to the British people, and following the Trumpean model.

In short - it is very very messy; and of course time slips by, and even if we did get some concessions from EU (unlikely given the disarray the EU see before them), we haven't even started the trade negotiations with our most important market - the EU!

Thank God for a resurgent ITFC.

Doesn't matter if it's a matter of public record, does it. He's just given his supporters their own 'truth'. We live in strange times.

I think you're approaching a meltdown the amount of times you post about Trump and Brexit.
Maybe go for a walk instead?

Equally if armageddon never happens the left will be left massive eggs on their faces over this too. Not that they would care, they'd just change the narrative again and Corbyn would suddenly become Brexiteer in chief again depending on what was popular that day.

It is because we care and it is so clearly inevitable we are worried about it.

It is your head-in-the-sand determination that a no-deal Brexit won't lead to any problems that concerns us. The fact there are a significant number of MPs who either agree with you or simply don't care worries us too.

Of course, if it doesn't happen we will be pleased. Not least because we will be able to enjoy all the benefits of the close relationship with the EU continuing.

Have a pat on the head. Now please, we would like to discuss something relevant to us without your constant need to try and distract from anything that casts Trump in a bad light. A very concerning pattern is developing with you.

Trouble with this narrative here is that in your world 'the left' is basically anyone who doesn't think that severing all ties with our largest trading partner, potentially throwing northern Ireland into chaos, the likely massive devaluation of the pound and a 'privatise the sh1t out of everything'. Or, people from Ken Clarke, to James O'Brien. It's as simplistic and ill-informed as, well, people's reason's for voting 'leave'.

Well you do seem compelled to post the same old drivel on every post mentioning Trump but I wouldn't exactly call it stalking.

Yep. But we seem to be sleepwalking towards that without any real sense of concern. Corbyn is correct when he states that Britain is becoming just a vassal state to the US. Brexiteers get very exercised over any loss of sovereignty to Brussels but are silent when our ambassador in Washington has to resign due to the infantile rantings of the orange face loon in the White House.
