That's a great article.

But again people have been warned about this. He makes it very concrete though which is good. Numbers can be good.

I always found it baffling the EU was setup as this big evil ran by bosses thing while looking around and seeing the state of the UK. Easy blame game for the leaders here... :/

I would like a black armband with 28 stars on it that I could wear on the 29th March and, potentially, every day for the next two years.

a) does anyone else fancy doing this?
b) where can I get them?
c) alternatively, who could make them?

There's a lady that knits EU hats, maybe she's interested? If knitted is OK.

I can 250 rubber wristbands done, for about 50p each.

Black with yellow text: "R.I.P EU" followed by 28 stars.

Hmmm, that's quite a lot to shift.

Optimistic list?

1.) mashton

commemorative plate?

Not sure it's the end of the EU?

I've seen some stuff with a tear between the UK and EU. Eg, one star separate from the rest?
28 together... 1 by itself

slowly fading...space wind blowing... er sorry getting carried away there :P

like tears in raininess?

Forwarded to me by a colleague - this is terrifying:

Propaganda state, anyone?

that fatuous arse farage has been consistently on pretty much every bbc news output programme for the past 4 years spouting his ignorant, divise twaddle largely unchallenged. wind your neck in whittingdale.

Only if we can also have beams ;)

"The MPs, who included 60 from the Conservative Party, accused the corporation of portraying the UK as a "xenophobic" nation ....

Hahahahahahahah
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I think everybody is complaining about the BBC ATM, so that means they -may- be in the middle. Some of their programs are good, some utter shite and biased. He's full of it though.

But I am hoping the Regulator will go "meh". If they fine the BBC, it's a seriously bad sign :(

Gina Millar fights on :)

So basically she's concerned parliament will be bypassed when new laws, to replace EU laws, have to be voted in. Wouldn't surprise me either if that happens, and she's willing to go to court.

Why have you gone with 1.) rather than 1. or 1)
?

This is the whole point of the "Great Repeal Bill" - it is likely to give the Government the ability to repeal legislation by delegated legislation with minimal Parliamentary intervention
Very non-democratic, predicted before the referendum but didn't seem to bother most Brexiters/guardians of democracy I raised this with

Dumb question*

Who / which groups in the Conservative party is TM trying to placate with a hard brexit and why are they so important?

I would guess it's less the Conservative party but more the fear of losing voters to UKIP and the like.

Yep, and I understand that, and groups like 38degrees are also mobilizing people.

Ah I gave up, it all seems to come back to "but the EU" and I frankly don't have the energy. But, it seems some brexiters are now getting pretty unhappy about the xenophobia/lack of oversight/way EU nationals are treated.

They may still want the brexit, but in those things they have common aims with many others.

My vote is for 'LIVEUSTRONG', I think it's more powerful.

It's always heart-warming to read robust and informed criticism of Liz Truss

Leavers want moon on a stick/have their cake and eat it/etc. etc.

No, fortunately.

Just hope the NHS survived, otherwise I and many others will be fucked.

Can't tell if...

Why not?
