Does the spirit of the blitz even exist in modern Britain? Britain now has people who call 999 when the local KFC shuts down. Seems fanatstical; more likely is a humongous national meltdown.

The Blitz spirit was so focused. There was a clear enemy and you needed to withstand for your children and your children's children. I think everyone was on the same wavelength at that time.
Brexit is far more complex IMHO. Nobody really knows what to focus on and how to drum up blanket national support for this. The population is pretty much 50/50 as are the UK member states with Wales and England wanting to leave but Scotland and NI wanting to remain. I would always say that spirit exists but you need the right circumstances and leaders to channel this spirit. I think the right circumstances are coming in the form of an Economic downturn and further austerity so all you need is the enigmatic leader to emerge to bring you out of the doldrums..............enter Jeremey stage left................
Which anyone with a brain already knew to be the case.
We'll have a wall of our own in this country soon and it'll be around London.
in the comments section Corbyn is referred to as 'The High Sparrow'. Great nickname. I guess that makes May Cersei Lannister?
Well that livened up my lunchtime.
I've started identifying more as Canadian recently, as I have dual-citizenship
"I'm a lumberjack and I'm alright..." so you wont get left Stateless whatever happens!
Quick wank in the toilet?
Jacob Rees-Mogget
Do you know what.
I really don't care what you think.
I don’t doubt that you may be a reasonably intelligent individual. But you are most certainly not the only person on this forum who is so and your views are just that; your views.
And by the way I find your posts extremely condescending. You have a bad habit of continually belittling other people's views and if you wish to be taken seriously, you should correct that.
I offer you my apologies for that.
Apology accepted and I hope I didn't sound overly aggressive.
Christ, no.
Consider.... This fecking guy.
Brexit: Amber Rudd, David Gauke and Greg Clarke issue delay warning
I don't see how any MP could support the current "deal" without changes to the text of the agreement to remove the backstop. That won't happen.
The 3 options are still the same.
Cabinet ministers peeling off already saying they want an extension and won't allow no deal, the same goes for 500+ MPs and always has done. EU fully aware of this I think and just waiting. No need to offer anything.

Nothing changed since December. Just May's desperation. If she did ask for an extension to A50 EU could say no or put conditions. Could she even resign, finally?
Sometimes I think the EU will be better off when it doesn’t have to deal with twats like this any more.
Which anyone with a brain already knew to be the case.
We'll have a wall of our own in this country soon and it'll be around London.
She is more of a selyse Baratheon ie she feels entitled for the crown despite having the means to actually claim it. Rees mogg would be the perfect Stannis.

There is a phrase I've heard on a few episodes of brexitcast which is giving some of the erg a ladder high enough to climb off their horse
Apparently a few of them far more concerned about winning the war (future deal being more WTO / Canada and getting a brexiteer to take over from may) than this particular battle... And if there was a codicil tagged on to the end that allowed Cox to change his legal advice that might be a big enough ladder to get some of them off their high horses.
It wouldn't involve changing the deal... Rather some fluff attached saying it won't be a permanent solution...

Speaking of vassalage, wasn’t Hunt comparing the EU to the Soviet Union recently?
Christ. He is what his name rhymes with.
Our foreign secretary right there. We are an embarrassment.
In fact, how can you be that bad? I was in year fecking 9 when I learnt about General Tito.

What do you think the other times
?At this point it's become perfectly clear that a lot of tories don't give a flying feck about the EU, which is why they never care to actually read about anything (granted we all have idiots like that in every country, but usually they aren't ministers, usually). Whether it's the rules of the community or the history of it's member states, they just don't care. We'll miss the Brits as a society, but I don't think anyone will miss these tories politicians.
Their incompetence has been in Europe's spotlight these past few years. To think these people thought themselves capable of predicting the future of the EURO
For proper reference of how stupid this is: he was in his mid 20s when Yugoslavia split. This is recent history, it's not like being ignorant of an obscure national history or custom that you have to study.
Its utterly pathetic that someone that ignorant is the foreign secretary but surely theres someone working for him who can stop him making a total cnut of himself.
Yeah I don't get it either. Clearly he's incredibly dim, but surely he has a support team that prep him for these occasions?
No, not at the moment, all his Foreign Office minions have been seconded to working on a 'managed' No Deal...no need to worry then!
The same PM has appointed Hunt, Grayling, McVey and Johnson among others.
In her defence it's a pretty shallow pool of talent she has at her disposal and quite a few of the semi competent lot probably wouldn't take a job off her anyway as they couldn't sign up to the collective cabinet resoncibility
You left out Davies though... The man who negotiated the backstop and was then shocked at what was in it
I intentionally left our the brexit secretaries. Those are a special breed.
...and they signed Sanchez.
Definitely a future Tory party leader.
Someone needs to teach him about the wonder of google then.
Worrying thing is that there are actually so many worse candidates still, eg Johnson, Raab etc...
Isnt that referendum's result was done with the intention to crash out of EU completely?
Why backtracking when they are so close at this moment?
No deal could make many food items much more expensive. Not suprising but a bit worrying to see it quantified.

<- this was a quote that should also include that the EU has demanded 100% inspections on products

Only when the deer are in the headlights does reality start to set in. As many here would be about to guess, i think they should revoke Art. 50 and stay in the EU. The simple reality is, if you are going to leave, you need to put in about 10 years of work BEFORE triggering the article.
This display of arrogance and stupidity is now aiming to burn the country down to "trigger remainers" online. It's a farce.
Watching Gove on Marr.
I know he gets a pretty bad rap on here, but he's surprising honest in his responses. A politician who answers a straight question with a straight answer.
