To an extent... And if there is a 2nd ref and the remain campaign go for a smug we told you so approach then they better not rely on too many people changing their mind
I am also bemused by this . Are they really that arrogant ?
Yeah it's a tough one for remain to choose what arguments to target really as most will be predictions which is always countered with project fear bullshit
Mark Rutte, total kunt, i hate him and so do most people i speak to.
That isn't a binary option.
so, martial law huh?
Well, sounds like he's got my back so feck all the people you speak to, signed Ireland.
Really cranking up the blame game now. Numpties will lap it up.
Read some of the replies, clearly a common viewpoint
Oh well that's all the evidence you need clearly.
Try clicking on some of the profiles. I'd question whether many of them were ever remainers.
I mean, the hard border issue necessitates what he said. You'd have to be a strange kind of remainer to have that put you off.
Someone who liked it on my TL voted remain. I genuinely think many people are really are lapping this stuff up from both sides whether you like it or not.
Junk is a proper drunken turd that should feck off now
We all know that creating an enemy to deflect blame is what the Tories are best at they've been doing it for decades after all.
This latest 'Freedom clause' (lol) is a prime example of it. I mean all we want is our freedom why won't they give us our freedom damn eu

I don't get this. The UK wants out. The EU had been quite accommodating waiting for the UK to decide what deal it wants and working within the red lines May had set to come out with a deal. Now they want to reopen everything again. Is it within the EU prerogative to say no?
Brexiters seems to be unable to understand the EU has to protect it´s own interests first and foremost in any negotiation. Brexiters really need to drop those illusions of grandeur that the United Kingdom has the divine right to bulldoze every other country´s interests and plans, and that everyone should bow down to the United Kingdoms demands no matter how ridiculous they are to the side on the other half of the negotiation table. The far right are slowly destroying both the US and the UK with their extremist blind nationalism based propaganda and agenda in both countries. The form of nationalism they are pushing are venomous to any society as it making people into zealots where all reason and logic no longer has much effect on them. A country run by a void of logic and science based facts will destroy it self in the long term.
So as expected the Tories are going to feck the country, having managed to set up the EU as the ones to blame. Let's see how well that works when the disasterous effects of no-deal crash into people's reality.
Which is why I said 'numpties are lapping it up'. I never said there wasn't a shortage of them in this country.
My bad, I misread that as you thinking we don't have many numpties in this country

I reckon at least 52%. Probably more now.
We're still in fantasy land.
Brexit backstop amendment would give May 'enormous firepower'
Theresa May would go back to Brussels with “enormous firepower” to renegotiate her Brexit deal if the Commons backed an amendment watering down the Irish backstop provision, a senior Conservative backbencher has said before a crucial series of votes.
Graham Brady said he was hopeful of ministerial support for his amendment, which says the backstop should be replaced by “alternative arrangements to avoid a hard border”, even though Ireland has repeatedly stressed such a change cannot happen.

Now what do Labour do here?
Vote against it and they'll be the Brexit blockers ruining the plan to get a deal.
Or
Vote for it to avoid negative press knowing it'll never get past the EU, however they'd be giving May a victory and strengthening anti-eu sentiment.
Fixed for you, Grauniad.
they vote against it I think - though probably 10 MP's from other parties (labour & libs) might vote for it (plus the DUP probably will)
In theory that's enough for it to pass but equally I suspect some conservatives (20?) will vote against it meaning it fails by a handful of votes
in a similar vein I think the cooper ammendment will also be pretty close - perhaps just passing by a handful of votes
Then yeah its the "will of the people" vs the "will of parliament"
What depressing choices. It feels like the chances of a second referendum are ebbing away by the minute.
UK still negotiating with itself.
Tuesday, the day of meaningless amendments.
Everyone, media, parliament and people all with their fingers in their ears singing "la,la, la, can't hear you."

What does 'alternative amendments to avoid a hard border' even mean? Is it quantifiable or just literally that sentence on a bit of paper?
It's something that's going to be invented in 20 years time.
I'm convinced some European leader stole your dummy when you were a baby.
its something they can say they are trying to do for around 4 to 6 weeks before saying the EU are nasty bullys now we have to leave with no deal and its all their fault
I think we're back to the magical invisible border using technology that doesn't even exist yet
Nothing changed since December. The withdrawal agreement is still dreadful. The backstop still won't be removed unless we negate it and agree to permanently join the customs union and probably single market as well. Desperate times for the government and the conservative party.
The cooper amendment is the only thing interesting happening, let's see if it passes and if it does by how many votes.
There is also this:
This pretty much sums up the negotiation "strategy" for the last two years
May has been a total and complete disaster as PM.

It's like they've seen those Microsoft and IBM adverts about smart cities and AI and they think it's just round the corner.
I'm still bemused they haven't taken any kind of action to confirm the feasibility of such an endeavour in the 2 years they've had.
well if they did that they would also then have to admit it wont work (or at least not until long after the transition agreement and as such the backstop would come into force) - as I was once told by a previous manager - don't ask a question you don't want the answer to as you gain a problem and you loose plausible deniability
