Maybe people from civilised countries will be tempted back when no more English holidaygoers are wrecking the place.

British surely?
Or don’t the Scots, Welsh and Irish cause any aggro?

If only the English could follow the fine example set by the Scots.

Too early. You need to give it a week.

Telling friends in the UK about expats in Switzerland who voted for Brexit - and their reaction was 'hope they come back to face the consequences' ... so glad to hear you are doing the honest thing

Aww, we have some special English snowflakes in tonight. I thought this is what you guys called banter. Political correctness gone mad, i tells ya.

P.S. For the hard of humour, yes we have plenty of eejits too, see the Rangers lot smashing up Manchester a few years ago, for example.

	It will happen at some point as no union in history has lasted forever. I just wonder how long the cocktail of youth unemployment, high debts, low or no economic growth despite the ECB pumping lots of money into the economy, migration problems and lack of democratic control with plans about european armies etc that nobody wants can continue in the EU. Or maybe I'm just too pessimistic.

	Spot on -bravo More people marched in London for a #peoplesvote than there are in the populations of the EU countries of Luxembourg and Malta. And almost as many as in Cyprus. That is a country size out marching - wish I could have been there.

Well this is awkward:

People's Vote march was attended by a third of number that organisers claimed, official estimate says

In December, the Independent handed in a petition carrying more than one million names demanding the British public be given a final say on the outcome of Brexit along with another one including more than 337,000 names collected by the People’s Vote initiative.

Just proves people will sign anything

Anybody else excited about May losing the vote?

I start to think it's all a ruse to make it look like they did something for 2 years and they want this vote to fail spectacularly. At what end, I am not sure.

Probably a No Deal scenario. I can't see a People's vote happening, it takes 3 months to setup and there's no support for it from that scoundrel Corbyn even when 80% of his voters want one.

Lots of crying will follow afterwards but the EU will be able to use this as a deterrent to anyone else thinking about it. If anything, it has the opposite effect so far.

while it's tempting to think that this was some conspiracy to get us to the point of a no-deal vs cancel-brexit binary choice by managing to construct a 'deal' that is worse than no-deal. i really doubt that politicians were competent enough to do that. they weren't even competent enough to rig the brexit referendum (all it needed was to have multiple choices: remain, no deal brexit, norway option, etc. and the brexiters would have been fragmented).

I just feel hollow and empty, particularly after watching her on Marr yesterday. He kept pushing her on what her plan B will be if/when her plan is voted down, but she wouldn't reveal anything. There must be dozens of plans to account for all scenarios... Any logical person would have multiple back up plans in place, but with May, I've got a weird feeling that perhaps there aren't any.

By nature, I'm curious about everything, and if I don't know something, I have to find out. My only OCD compulsion is that I have to know where everything is in the home. The 'not knowing' aspect of so many things, puts my spidey senses on alert. I would absolutely hate the be the business leader of a UK company right now.
