I'm on record here as predicting the title of Anthony Horowitz's second Bond novel as Frau De'ath. I got that one wrong...
Is that like "Castle De'ath" in what I think was the fourth season of The Avengers? I mean the REAL Avengers, not the superhero stuff.
Yep, saw that one years ago. Gordon Jackson was in it, I recall. De'ath is actually a real surname too. I recall a letter written into The Times where a man revealed his son, a GP, was actually named Dr De'ath! I think it'd make a good Bond villain name, though it may be a tad too obvious!
And why is this on the Brexit discussion thread? I had meant to stay clear of that.
Nah, that's her front, she's not really married, and deep inside she was working for a communist resurgence, as the new Stalin. She's got the real Klebb-shoes as well.
Or Boris Johnson is the evil genius, but I've come tired of all the traitors within MI6 and other government positions of the Craig era.
I dunno. We kind of segued into a discussion of Bond villain names! Still, it's more entertaining than Brexit...
“It is my considered opinion,” one of the characters declares to Nat, “that for Britain and Europe, and for liberal democracy across the entire world as a whole, Britain’s departure from the European Union in the time of Donald Trump, and Britain’s consequent unqualified dependence on the United States in an era when the US is heading straight down the road to institutional racism and neo-fascism, is an unmitigated clusterf bar none.”

Another voice of reason. Britain has chosen the wrong friends, while also choosing leadership--symbolic or otherwise--from a bunch of class A bullies with interests perpendicular to those communicated to the people.
But it matters little. Many leavers are so convinced they have chosen the right path, they'll just have to feel the mess they were plunged in by cheap demagogues to realise this epic and historical mistake.

Yep, seems the british public is getting tired of this whole farce, to the point Sky News is launching a new channel, with nothing Brexit-related on.
The interesting part is probably which Brexit headline you'll wake up to on the 1st of November...
True, but all I am hearing is that tonight a legal text must be agreed by midnight tonight?
The Daily Star has already thought of this idea, not that that means very much of course as they're a celebrity obsessed newspaper. I don't read it by the way but have seen the "Brexit free zone" tag on the newspaper at work.
And you're right that the British public is indeed tired of this whole sorry farce. One can't really overstate how fed up people are by this stage in the proceedings. People now just want it done and dusted so that we can move on to other pressing matters of which there are many.

I also think the scaremongering about leaving with no deal is not going to be as bad as predicted. It's been created by the Remain elite who don't want to accept the result of the referendum, working in conjunction with the EU who don't want us to leave either, in case it kick-starts the collapse of the EU.
I'm sure it won't go smoothly if we leave with no deal, but once the politicians move aside and start letting things happen, business somehow find a way. We adapt and move forward, like we've always done.
I don't think a second referendum is likely, mainly because of the prolonged paralysis to the country (another 9 months away at least), and then the potential fallout afterwards.
If Leave win again, then Parliament and the elite will still do its upmost to block it, as they don't want to leave. If Remain win, then Leave will want a best of three. That won't be the end of this, as Leavers won't take that result lying down, as the first result wasn't respected and implemented.
Because we live in a democracy, somehow Brexit has to be seen to be implemented for the survival of the UK. I think that is what is more at stake, than us leaving the EU with or without a deal.

Sadly it seems likely the UK Parliament will vote the deal down, as the DUP made it clear it won't support this deal. Johnson will struggle hard to find a majority without the DUP.
Yes I just read your link....its going to be interesting for sure.
Now its gone from an EU battle to a domestic battle,especially with Northern Ireland as well.
Brexit = the end of the UK anyway.
Scotland likely to vote for independence and Irish reunification looking more and more likely.
Little old England and Wales will be left looking like billy no mates.
Whatever happens its a colossal mess. Anyone who thinks Boris passing his deal means the end of this nightmare is sadly deluded. This is just the withdrawal agreement. Then start the negotiations on the future relationship with the EU and decades of trying to patch together our wrecked global trading relationships.
I don't think we will be getting Irish reunification any time soon for sure.
As for Scotland,they are always threatening independence and themselves when the time comes.
And even if they do,it's no big loss.
The UK decides to withdraw from the EU in 2016.
Brexit is the reason Scotland want independance? Do you want to tell William Wallace, or shall I?
As for Wales, as someone that thinks of themself as both Welsh and British, I am against Welsh independace.
I heard some bloke saying on the TV in some pub where Farage was stinking up the air with his farts, going on about wanting the Empire back. Seriously the the level of thickness amongst some people that voted to leave is beyond me.
Except that all the resulting downsides will hit real people struggling to make ends meet and not those nits.
