Just a point regarding our elected representatives - some people have made the point that Parliament doesn't belong to Boris, it belongs to the people. Our sickening elected representatives have made a mockery of that principle recently, by ignoring THE people's vote to leave the EU and then deliberately voting down any move to leave under any circumstances. Most of the Commons were elected on the promise to leave, most of the Commons voted to trigger Article 50, but when it comes to the crunch, the majority lily-livered little darlings are desperate to remain in the EU.

That is what all the hoo-ha is about and that is why I have no time for the Houses Of Parliament. Boris and Jeremy are a complete waste of time and space, one frighteningly antagonistic and one frighteningly docile. I disagree with the next two, but at least Jo and Ian show a united front for what they believe in.

How is it possible to ignore the peoples vote AND trigger article 50 ?

Labour made it clear they couldn't support May's deal from the start. The ERG branch of the tory party wouldn't either because they want "no deal". There is a majority there for a deal with the EU but may refused to budge lest she offend the balance of her own power, that's gone now and boris is trying to force "no deal" through by quite disgraceful tactics.

I agree with you about parliament being not fit for purpose though and think that although the opposition have acted in the national interest in preventing "no deal" they really should have got their acts together earlier. But I guess it was difficult to do that with our style of politic and without knowing what kind
of brexit the government were going to follow.

The real problem was that Cameron inflicted on Britain a referendum without defining what Brexit meant. I think another vote is the only way to repair that.
