Given the current mess, an extension is the best thing. And EU citizens in the UK will continue to be democratically represented in the European parliament.Comment

Originally posted by Yorkie62 View PostFine, then let us own it. Let us leave this Friday with or without a deal. It is the remainers in parliament that refuse to let the Brexiteers own the decision. It is the remainers that are without doubt to blame for the current abomination. If you want Brexiteers to own Brexit then let us leave on Friday. Let me know if you want Brexiteers to own this problem or are you happy to continue with the status quo.
