After even Collaborator Oliver Letwin declared he'd rather no deal than let Agent Cob into No 10, is Jezza getting desparate?

I haven't read all the thread, but the most damaging part is the uncertainty and delays. Even if I had been in charge and got us out, we would be back on the up by now. We just need someone in power who actually believes in the country.

//...but the most damaging part is the uncertainty and delays.//

Spot on, pixie. I don't know when our pathetic politicians will realise this. The latest proposal from those who simply refuse to accept that we are leaving the EU is to delay and prevaricate even further. They need to be brought to heel.

No body voted for a hard Brexit.
We were told brexit would really easy and painless.
When the food and drugs run out - there will be riots.

Where did you get those facts from grom?

"When the food and drugs run out - there will be riots."

You will be rioting - or somebody else?

//No body voted for a hard Brexit.//

And nobody voted for a Brexit In Name Only. We' were not given the choice. Strangely only the Remain campaigners seem to insist that enjoy the privilege of various degrees of "Leaving" which they can endlessly bore us with. I can't imagine, had the vote gone the other way, that Leavers would have enjoyed various versions of Remaining.


//We were told brexit would really easy and painless.//

Were we? I don't remember being told that and if I had I most certainly would not have believed it. Silly you if you did.

//When the food and drugs run out...//

Salmon will leave in trees and eat pencils.

Most people voted for a "hard Brexit". There was no alternative given anyway on the form.

Was it Emily Maitlis who got you worried about your drugs?

The same Maitlis who hit an all-time low recently when she adopted the tactic of using evidence-free contention, stating that ‘doctors are worried about the availability of cancer drugs’ after Brexit?
Her claim that doctors are warning about drug shortages dates back to February, when a non-story entered the news echo chamber know as the Brexit Bubbler.
In February a former regulator put out a statement that the movement of drugs might be affected if Britain withdrew from the EU’s medicines regulator.
A BBC online reporter duly made the most extreme interpretation available, that the supply of cancer drugs could be affected. But at least he acknowledged that it was speculation. Then as is the Beep Beep See's modus operandi the story then entered the echo chamber’s spin cycle – known in cyberspace as a Bleak Hole – in which all nuance, qualifying statements and caution were removed, and became fact for the short of rational thought. Farmer Giles was of course the source of the food shortage scaremongering, when he declared that "this week I am eating mostly yellow".

There will be no coup.
The timing no longer works, and politically it would be counter productive for Corbyn and Labour.
Boris has taken the poisoned chalice, Labour should just bide its time and watch him choke.

Meanwhile...

Stephen Barclay, the Brexit Secretary, has now signed the “commencement order” that will trigger the end of the supremacy of EU law in the UK on Hallowe’en, in a major moment on the path to the country’s exit. That is the precise moment to banish an evil spirit is it not?

But...very but..
More than 100 MPs have written to the prime minister demanding that he recall parliament from the summer recess, claiming the country faces “a national emergency”.
The leader of the Liberal Democrats, Jo Swinson, the Westminster leaders of the Scottish National Party and Plaid Cymru and scores of Labour MPs have signed the letter to Boris Johnson, along with the Change UK leader, Anna Soubry, and rebel Tory MPs Guto Bebb and Dominic Grieve. Notice the names once again? The same coterie that were active in thwarting Brexit from day 1 and who are responsible for the near impasse that Boris is working to untie just like Alexander The Great "untied" the Gordian Knot.

'Round up the usual suspects' A new level of hysteria appears to have been reached. They really will make themselves sick at this rate. Meanwhile, we'll carry on stoically. How many times does it need saying? We voted to Leave the EU, nothing about deals; which would have been forthcoming if May, Hammond et al had not encouraged the EU to think that we wouldn't just leave - they are the ones to blame for the problems we will now face. These are, however, surmountable if the 'worst case' scenario is shortages for 6 mths. - a small price to pay for everlasting freedom. The 'worst case' won't happen, however. There will be hiccups and I always expected that as the new systems set in. Once out, the EU will deal on individual items. I repeat, the 'usual suspects' are the ones who will have caused any hardships by encouraging the EU to believe we didn't really mean it and would like to come back in, Sir, please Sir!

"this week I am eating mostly yellow".

That was just a reference to the leaked provisional plans, by a "former" cabinet minister about Operation Yellowhammer. You will read more about it this week. No one will tell you that it was a worse case scenario exchange of ideas but the usual suspects will try to tell you that it is a given event. Don't believe their twisted, sleight of hand, rhetoric. OTB now....sweet dreams.
