    Not too sure you know how healthcare works between the member countries of the EU as it looks like all those old farts in Spain will soon be coming back to put a further drain on the NHS...
    Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

      Out of interest, do you support the WA? That also satisfies your position of “the critical thing is that we leave”.

      So you lied when you said the critical thing is we leave. To you and your cultists, the critical thing is we leave and cause the most damage to both the EU and the UK. It's no longer about leaving the EU for the fanatics.

        Just in case you weren't aware, the WA doesn't mean actually leaving. We'd be in the lap of the Gods (or the EU if you prefer) as to when we actually leave, which could be never (and if you want to tap my cynical side, I suspect will actually be never).

          The Withdrawal Agreement fulfils both the vote, and the red lines set by May and cheered on by the Brexiters.

          Legally, the U.K. will have left the EU. It’s not in dispute, it’s not “doesn’t mean actually leaving”, it’s a fact - once the WA is approved and the relevant legislation is passed, the U.K. will no longer be in the EU.

          You’ve said you want to leave the EU by any means possible, this is one of those means.

            Back on topic. Looks like the ending of FoM on 31st October will no longer happen.

            Also looks like the Government is continuing its policy of speaking first, thinking later....

              Let's just leave then, without any agreement. Let all those poorer areas, who were sold the lie that we will be better off outside the EU, reap what they sow. Brexit voters deserve a hard brexit. You only have to leave voters interviewed on TV to understand how they were so easily duped. And before someone accuses me of being arrogant .... no, just more intelligent than those who voted out

              Come on guys ... hard Brexit now

                If the UK doesn't leave the EU all the leave MP's threaten to cut their wrists and overdose on Paracetamol; it will be the EUs fault.

                      I had come round to the idea of remain. But if that would be the outcome I might have to switch back to leave.
