It won't do anything but a petition is already at Ofer 150k signatures.
Exactly. Unless there is agreement not to stand against each other.Johnson and Farage will be a powerful combination to a lot of the country, but at the same measure, induce horror in some of the electorate. The remain parties will have to be very careful- there's an opportunity for the Lib Dems to snatch the more moderate conservative voters, but that'll only go so far unless we get some election pacts for seats going on.
But I feel a lot of Labour supporters wouldn't vote LD even on a tactical basis, and vice versa, so we might just be fucked.

Corbyn writing to the Queen now. We're getting into some very dicey territory.
Yeah I don't want tuition fees trebled again. £27,000 a year's a bit much, sorry.But I feel a lot of Labour supporters wouldn't vote LD even on a tactical basis, and vice versa, so we might just be fucked.

The last march had over a million people and still achieved nothing
Pretty much.The last march had over a million people and still achieved nothing
I have said it before and I'll say it again, I will miss Scotland being part of the union if you become independent, but with the way things are I say go for it if you get another chance.I'm worried for Scotland's future. These people will have no qualms closing down our parliament and even putting tanks back on the streets again.
I hope we get independence very soon. Fuck the state of English politics.

Pretty much.
Marching doesn't really achieve anything unfortunately.
Whilst I am sure Boris would prefer BXP to stand aside, even if they don't, their platform has been co-opted. Why would you vote for BXP if the Tories are promising you no-deal anyway?I still can't see a BXP/Tory alliance. The personalities involved dislike and distrust each other too much, and I'm not sure Farage really wants to play second fiddle.

The calculus is this:I don't understand what Boris is trying to achieve. If he organises an election for after a no deal Brexit, then when everything goes to shit surely he'll lose terribly? Or is he hoping that if its on November 1st there won't be time for anything to go wrong?
I think the majority of Brexit voters also don't want no deal Brexit, so if he pushes that through in this way surely he's just fucking himself with everybody except the hardcore Brexit nutters?
Contacting your MP is probably far better idea at this time.It won't do anything but a petition is already at Ofer 150k signatures.

with Jeremy Corbyn leading the opposition? LOL Labour has picked the WORST leader for dealing with Brexit because Corbyn at his hear is anti-trade
HKers were willing to do what it takes. I'm not so sure many UK people are. It's easy to protest on a weekend, but will people march in in the tens of thousands every day? Will they stop the government from being able to function?
I don't see it ever happening. The UK will crash out, people will take to Twitter and Facebook to vent their anger and they'll slowly resign themselves to the new reality. Countries like the UK and US don't know how to protest anymore.
Not to be snarky but there'll be more than just a "tough few months" in Ulster if no deal happensI like how so many people are making a huge thing out of nothing - it was pretty obvious for a long time now that from the British side a no-deal was going to happen (too much difference between parties). The only hope was that the EU would meet them half-way and make a deal - but the EU is quite arrogant too.
This is just like all that 'doom hype' back when the vote to leave EU happened. Life will go on, there will be a few tough months whilst things get sorted out, but ultimately things will go back to how they were. London isn't going to lose it's Financial hub of the world status just because it's leaving the EU, and anyone who says so just plain doesn't understand how the world works tbh.
I left in 2015 and even back then there were a lot of people not happy with the EU (though I was in the Midlands, not London).
Edit: Not a British citizen, I could be wrong - can't believe I have to state it implicitly, but these are my personal views only.
Because a significant proportion of the BXP vote won't vote Tory for tribal reasons. The Tories co-opted UKIP's platform at points but UKIP still was a geographical anchor.
#GeneralStrike now trending on Twitter. Good job Bojo. If he wants civil unrest he will fucking well get it.

I wouldn't have said that's a significant proportion but only time will tell. Put it this way, Boris wouldn't be smashing pell mell towards an election if he thought he was going to be out on his ear.
I mean, people will die, but for those don't, they'll still be alive.Not to be snarky but there'll be more than just a "tough few months" in Ulster if no deal happens
All over bar the shouting.
I mean that literally. The only option left is civil disobedience.
no no no, several posters on Era have informed me that they'll all be jolly good mates after this is all said and done.I mean, people will die, but for those don't, they'll still be alive.
My MP is non other than Mark "neck grabber" Field 😢Contacting your MP is probably far better idea at this time.
This petition is pointless considering there will be no one in Parliament to debate it...

Bojo only cares about staying in power. There's no norm he won't shit all over to ensure that happens and no position he wouldn't throw out the window either. If tomorrow, the polls somehow showed him that his best chance of staying in power was to withdraw article 50, he would.
Portsmouth...I'm not sure what you are referring to here? The local elections?
I still can't see a BXP/Tory alliance. The personalities involved dislike and distrust each other too much, and I'm not sure Farage really wants to play second fiddle.

No point writing to him.
Why not both?How about instead of getting rid of the Royal Family we decommission Trident. Something that has cost this country billions upon billions of pounds, far more than the Royal Family ever has in modern times.
People need a sense of perspective.
