Latest post of the previous page:

Indeed. It's almost as if Brexiteers are trying to divert attention away from their failing fantasy by blaming anyone and everyone for their own inadequacies.

There are three fundamental questions for anyone advocating Brexit:

1. What, precisely, are the significant and tangible benefits of leaving the EU?
2. What damage to the UK and its citizens is an acceptable price to pay for those benefits?
3. Which ruling of the ECJ is most persuasive of the need to leave its jurisdiction?

Do you think May should publish it all, coffee? That is what Parliament instructed her to do. Any idea why she might be a tad reticent in publishing it in full?

Yup. Let’s be honest about what’s really driving Brexit: bigotry
Beneath all the talk of “control” and “global Britain”, there is the germ of an extremely unpleasant nativism. Again, we pesky centrists are told to be quiet and to heed the concerns of those who have been “left behind”. But since there is not a shred of respectable evidence that immigration has had more than a marginal impact upon public service capacity, wage levels or net welfare costs, I am forced to conclude that there is now a sufficiency of Britons who just don’t much like people of foreign extraction, and certainly don’t want many more of them around the place.

So often one hears that the British people “were not consulted” about immigration levels. To which the answer is: oh yes you damn well were. Every time you insisted on a properly staffed NHS, on social care that was halfway decent, on a service economy that worked, on affordable decorators, on your Tesco and Amazon deliveries arriving on time. Each time you took that landscape for granted, you were complicit in the immigration policy that preceded the Brexit vote.

We live in a world defined by the economic, social and cultural interdependence of nation states. And those who promise that leaving the EU will deliver “control” are really promising something quite specific: a social and cultural reboot. As well as being morally contemptible, of course, this is also a complete impossibility. But those who pose as our leaders have allowed this absurd and horrible vision of Britain’s future to take root. Let us be honest about what this is all about. And then let those who are responsible take full ownership of whatever consequences lie ahead.
Call it bigotry. Call it xenophobia. Call it downright racism. But if the racist Brexiters don't like the white-skinned east Europeans coming over here and doing all those jobs that no one wants to do, they sure ain't going to like the Asians and Africans that we'll need to replace them with.

What good's that going to do? There is no better deal on offer - even if the EU did concede a few cosmetic changes. The only way out of this fucking Tory mess is to just withdraw Article 50 and undo the damage that they've already caused.

it would give some time for a second referendum, surely. which (assuming that Remain won, and the MPs need to get No-Deal removed from the options before such a vote) would appear more democratic than a simple denial by MPs of the people's vote in 2016

i get a bit tired of the non-communication here. Coffee, and I think I can reasonably expect a simple answer to this question: do you approve of the May-EU deal? I would think that you do so, as the UK would, after the Transition Period and in the Age of the Backstop, not be compelled to conform to the EU's free movement of people principle
