Different times indeed. Even at today's low interest rates, all those £££ on deposit by the government for a number of days would probably pay for Dominic Cummings for a couple of hours, so they can't afford to ignore the trick.

This is interesting. Perhaps not accurate, and I'm sure polls can be made to prove black is white, but I sense some truth in the findings....

Hmm, perhaps we shall see since the EU is now saying no extension unless its for a GE or Referendum and Jezza says he's ready to permit it on Oct 21.

My own sense is that Leave would win a second referendum, but as referendums are clearly a waste of time, why bother holding a second? |

If they asked further questions they might find that "the people" would prefer to be "governed" by just about anyone not currently closely associated with the machinations of Westminster. Moreover if people are accepting the message from Extinction Rebellion it (life) will be all over in about 10 years so nothing matters anyway. Even in the deepest days of the publicised threats surrounding the Nuclear Cold War I cannot recall anything like the sense of incredulity and pointlessness towards our politicians that so many seem to be trading on today. The EU as a business area seems to be heading into a slump that is as great ad anywhere else in the world. The so called powerhouse economies, notably Germany in Europe and not so many of the others, is very much tied in to a Carbon based economy that will take some shifting to satisfy the demands of those who would like to replace it and to whom the politicians are listening. Few seem to understand how it ALL works, some understand, maybe bits of. They want the UK's economy, being still currently among the top ten it seems, to join in mainly because they seem some potential to suck something out of it before it disappears up its own orifice of its own making since it is being run by idiots at the political level and and greed, mostly, at the corporate level. Not all of that greed is home grown. Indeed one might argue that most of it is not home grown. (We import a lot in the name of 'recruiting the best' and 'return on shareholder funds'.) The Empire of the West shows many signs of heading towards its inevitable end. It's old enough to fit into the pattern of degeneration. Ultimately none of this nonsense may matter at all. Perhaps the only effect one can hope for is that things don't get too personally frustrating in one's own lifetime. The kids will have to deal with whatever they find as they live their lives - which is how it has always been, despite the creation of the Thunberg message, and in reality is how they expect it to be. Presumably, Europe Wide, such changes would also include significant changes to to the principles and policies of the EU. In which case no generation or poll today can think of themselves as siding with a known and consistent institution to guide them through the type of future they think they are supporting. Quite clearly the EU controls nothing except its membership lists. That's not much of a club benefit to make it worth justifying the membership subscription during its declining years. |

I said it’s interesting, not that I believed or agreed with it!
Maybe we’ll get the chance to vote again, as Peter says...... |

What would be most interesting would be to combine the question about Brexit or NoBrexit with a question about the abilities of current politicians and whether home grown or external management would offer the best options to guide the country in the next decade or two. Remember that "Voting again" uncovered the "correct" vote in Eire - which may be why they are so keen to be seen to be doing the "right" guidance now rather than being reminded of their failure to escape and the battles they face having seemingly quite successfully (but only by breaking the "rules") attracted investment that has so far fended of utter economic collapse. |

I've always thought there would be a second referendum following the Irish model. I have no doubt the result will be to remain.
It's taken longer than I thought to gather such strength, and support for the idea has certainly come from a strange place with Jezza taking up the cause. Conspiracy theorists may think that the EU has let us get deeper into the mire as punishment for wanting to leave. Now the end is in sight the same theorists may conclude that the EU is forcing the referendum pace. Bauble we certainly do need a second referendum. And a third. And a General Election. Happy days!

So, lots of optimism after BJ and (Irish PM) LV talks. But isn’t it the countries to the east and south if us that will be need to be won over?

Not really. They will do what they're told. The EU has weaponised the Irish border. If you look at the border between Sweden and Norway, you'll see that a hard border is not necessary. Same with Switzerland and France, iItaly etc.

Mmm but aren't they in some kind of customs union? Or so I think I read

Norway isn't. Sweden is part of the EFTA so comes under the EU rules but not Norway.

Norway has a few benefits to negotiate with by comparison to the UK. Although potential inbound trade volumes may not be so great due to a small population thier control of North Sea Oil and Gas (for now), some aspects of Fishing, considerable potential for Hydro generation of Electricity to help balance the North Sea installations and anything being built in Germany (via Denmark) are all reasons to be nice to the Norwegians. As would be their supply of thorium should those people developing generation capabilities that are based on thorium ever manage to complete their development work. Plus they are sort of semi-joined at the hip with the Swedes - although the Swedes buy many fewer Teslas and have a less extensive Supercharger network. The Norway Option could have been a solution at some points in the past few years but it seemed people were not interested perhaps because they did not really know how to look at it. There again if the Norwegian social Model might end up being the result of the package it would mane the State has extreme control (with a leftist perspective) over how much people are both paid and taxed and just about all that they do. All of which seems to result in things being very expensive for some reason. Right now I think Germany, and possibly France, might be concerned about losing their volume of engineering products sales into the UK. Especially high value items like cars and plant. How long that position lasts is anyone's guess. Ultimately It may not even be a real concern |

So, going back to the big issue of customs clearance in and out of the UK if it’s ‘leave without a deal’, I thought I’d be clever this trip and use the ‘Duplicate list’ procedure for temporary export.
The forms need a customs stamp, but guess what- there’s no manned customs office at Portsmouth docks...... |

I repost this from Martin Short who I often see as he has a home near us in Spain.
· “To appreciate quite how draconian the behaviour of the Spanish state has been, conduct this little thought experiment. Imagine for a moment that it was Nicola Sturgeon of the SNP who had been forced to flee Scotland after running an impromptu poll. Try to contemplate a scenario under which Ian Blackford MP had been sentenced to time in Wormwood Scrubs”....I know..... it’s sounds great right? But seriously, no, it’s unimaginable in our country, but while the EU screams comment on our politics, describing a special place in hell for brexiteers, they say NOTHING on the locking up of these Catalonians........ independence is a dirty word in Brussels. Apologies for a political post but this situation, in Europe , is simply unbelievable. The EU's spineless leaders, always vocal about Brexit, have gone strangely silent on Catalonia |

Who he? However, let's wait until next year and see if the SNP try to get the House of Commons agree to let Scotland have yet another referendum (after the once in a lifetime one) on independence. And when permission is denied, whether they try to run one anyway. |
