For the thousandth time... could you just TRY to read past the headline? If you were to do that, you'd see that "MV3" is nowhere near the same as MVs 1 and 2. And that satisfies the conditions for a new vote.

I'm sure all the parents here will remember when they resorted to 'hiding' healthy food in a child's dinner to make sure they ate well. This is a backdoor MV1 or 2 and they'll all get shafted.

What headline?

	Ironically, Brexit has probably strengthened the EU. Remember how bad things initially looked for the EU following the result? The truth of PT Barnum's adage strikes again: 'Any kind of publicity is good publicity as long as they spell your name right'.

I also think that, but it's not because of the bad publicity...it just made a lot of people reflect on this issue and reconsider their opinions in regards with why EU, and how would Europe look like without EU, and frankly it doesn't look good at all.

You can't trust some nations alone to mantain peace. Yes, I know you all take peace and civilisation for granted. It is not, Brexit was an awful reminder of that.

What on earth are you on about? Despite the divisions in the country, an incompetent government and the stuttering of Brexit there's not been one sniff of violence.

Meanwhile, Paris is getting torched every weekend.

That's a joke right? Do you have any idea of how NATO actually works?

One of its members Turkey has been daily violating Greek airspace for decades and threatening war. And that's between NATO members...

I'd say the murder of Jo Cox by a right wing extremist shouting "Britain First!" might just squeak in as "a sniff of violence".

A tragedy, but you’ll always get individual nutters, I think...

Undoubtedly. But "not a sniff of violence" was an incorrect assessment of the period since the Referendum. That was all.

Blueangel · #**19435** 29.03.2019, 09:01

Do not downgrade a vicious murder to 'a tragedy'.

Accidental death is a tragedy. Murder is violence. There's a vital legal distinction between the two.

Happened before the Brexit vote too.

Not a fan of Varoufakis, but he's absolutely spot on on Question Time last night.

UK politicians have weaseled the country into staying in for another couple of weeks at least. But no matter, today is 2019 and I identify as having left
