Go It Alone United Kingdom!

We can/will stand with them

Honestly, the people that voted to leave probably haven't consider the repercussion in doing so. While they ultimately might know what they think they want, getting there with the least amount of problems, might be difficult.
England's entire economy is tied up in the EU. An exit would be quite interesting, as the EU could literally hold them hostage for economic deals. The alternative for the English would be to seek deals abroad. FAR abroad, making already expensive goods, more so. England ain't the United States; it can't stand on its own.

Go figure.

That could be why a republic is superior to a democracy.


I don't see the harm in a re-vote given the public is now much better informed.

Unless it has to do with NATO.

Like I said, it being hard doesn't mean it shouldn't or couldn't be done. I'm not overly well informed on the issue, but the last few things I've read on the subject make it seem like it's a matter of democracy and independence, something we should applaud. Instead of being ruled by appointed politicos in Brussels, Brits want to be ruled by elected officials in their own country. Makes a good deal of sense to me, though I realize it's not that simple. I know, as with most things in life there is some good and some bad with exiting the EU. Hopefully there's enough good to it that it will be overall beneficial to the country, if it's ever done.

For Britons there entry into the EU was poorly crafted in the first place. As the second strongest economy in the EU they should have leveraged barriers on a number of things the rest of the EU members were subject to. Immigration and the EU's interference in domestic policies first among them.

Hi, Bug.

But without a doubt if it has to do with rocky, windswept islands off the coast of Argentina

No argument here.

And if Remain fails to win, schedule another vote? At some point, it's time to lock up the engineers and put the sucker into production

The 1st and 5th largest economies, the 1st and 2nd most powerful militaries, and the 1st and 2nd most important economic centers in the world - together again in special relationship 2.0! What's not to like?

I remember 1999, when we were all warned about the terror of massive computer failure due to the internal programming not going beyond 1999. Come New Years Day there would be mass pandemonium. Street lights would fail, hospital machines would stop working, factory automation would shut down. On and on an on the fear mongers went.

What happened? I think a town somewhere out west did have problems with their streetlights. I believe there was a hiccup with a factory up in Michigan. Maybe...?

The terror of a no deal Brexit is exactly the same kind of fearmongering as occurred in 1999. It will be nowhere near as bad as they say, but they will have issues.

Doug

What really happened was only a few tin-hat nutters were really that concerned. There was a lot of work done in advance and a lot of code review.


The difference is that was handled by a lot of competent engineers, whereas this is being handled by bungling politicians.


And there's probably more lines of text in those legal documents that need sorted out than there were lines of code to review.

There are probably only a bare handful of INGO'ers, (other than you and I and T-Lex) who are even aware of this issue. Not on most people's radar and, (if you follow Trumps lead on it) most haven't a clue.

Count me as one of the INGO'ers that knows & understands the Brexit issue. I hope that the MP's hold firm on a "no-deal" (no sellout) Brexit, give Theresa May the boot, and get rid of the globalists in their midst. I worry that if the deadline passes, there might be a forced 2nd referendum which would probably kill Brexit and restore globalist control over the UK. So much can go wrong when your country is disarmed and traitors within are unafraid to sell everyone out for the sake of the "new world order".

Did they tell you all about it at your QAnon meeting?

Ignoring the globalist thing, you do realize that the post you replied to was over two years old, right?

By now, pretty much every INGO'er is aware.

May survives. Starting meetings with other MPs to see what can be done to make a compromise and get a cleaner Brexit.

I never doubted it. She's the sacrificial lamb in this. If they pulled her, someone else would have to put their head on the block. I'm guessing the list of volunteers was ... short

The biggest thing is that Labour doesn't have a viable PM. His own party really hates him and the Conservatives aren't going to shoot down their own government.

They could have gone with Boris, but I doubt he wanted to join the Light Brigade at this point in the charge. He'll be looking to pick up the pieces after the dust settles, though. I don't know what to make of him. He kind of reminds me of a British Gary Hart, he doesn't seem to take anything seriously

Boris really is close to Bill Clinton. He knows which way the wind is blowing and tries to get in front of it. He jumped ship once he saw that the lift was too hard.

Well... you do know nothing happened y2k, because there was a **** ton of work done in the years before that.
