This insanity has to stop. It can ONLY end in tears. Britain's position is ridiculous and mad. We need a strong government that says - scrap the stupid referendum result; we are staying in the EU after all and dropping the enormous cost of bigotry. We need the money for health, education and improving the broken judicial system.

you are all going to Hell in a Handbasket !!!

Puzzled by Jeremy Corbyn's stance on this but I think there may be a strategy in play in appealing to the (once deluded & now de-moralised) UKIP nutters and working class voters who once they realise they won't be able to afford a Full English Breakfast on the beach front at Torremolinos and have to wait 4 hours to get on RyanAir flight (pass the sick bag Alice)will suddenly change their minds and become rabid REMOANERS.

Yes I wish Corbyn would bite the bullet and announce that Labour, if elected, will abandon Brexit and get on with constructing a fair (and better funded) society in the UK as a part of the EU.

An individual wishing is a waste of time, and typing!

Corbyn supports Brexit - remember?


The funding you alude to is also mysterious - should we borrow more -

or ask others to do so, on our behalf?

No the funding I alluded to is the cash we won't have to pay the EU if we cancel stupid Brexit.

It is fairly widely accepted that a hard brexit would cost us £66 billion - reducing GDP by 10%...

And what exactly are we supposed to gain?

Let's just get this right - so now there will be Freedom of Movement between Ireland and Northern Ireland (the UK). So all those would-be immigrants just have to get from France or Spain or wherever to Ireland; then they can walk into Great Britain? Sounds sensible - but why not just abandon Brexit?

The border on the island of Ireland is famously unsecure - except on the few main roads, between the two countries.

When the prices of goods differ significanly in the two, smuggling became a major issue in the past.

Pork prices ensured the growth of pig smuggling for many years - with piglets waking up in another jurisdiction, after nocturnal travel.

Many large farms straddle the border - making such activity easier, and simple to extend to humans.

I like this...

If Jeremy Corbyn had wanted to oppose Brexit he could have done so during the referendum campaign. He said the EU was 7/10, gave only half-hearted support to the Labour In campaign (Labour sources quoted in "All Out War: How Brexit sank Britain's political class" even felt that the leader's office had tried to sabotage it) and zero support to the official Remain campaign. A lot of natural Labour voters had apparently been unaware which side the party was supporting. People aren't stupid, they can read between the lines and interpret his lukewarm support as a sop to EU-supporting Labour voters and a wink to UKIP supporters.

Yes I think he should change.
