Should've gone straight for a referendum on May's deal once parliament couldn't solve it. Even now, should cut out the negotiation and go for a referendum on the current deal. Renegotiation reads to certain meatheads as a devious attempt to delay before revoking, it's also overly complex. Playing for a quick (relatively!) resolution would play better with the general electorate, I feel.

By legally binding do you mean by passing parliament? That’s illegal isn’t it?

Yeah I’d accept that personally, but then you’d be saying they’ll implement a deal they’ve spent the last three years saying is shit and will damage the country.

You’ve posted a fact check to defend Corbyn which pretty much gives up on defending his independence regarding the IRA

in the end the British public are far more considered than you fine them credit for and will deliver a verdict on Mr Corbyn in December

then we will see who is correct on this

Do you ever stop deflecting? Answer directly-were you wrong with your 2017 prediction?

So we should ignore the 2016 referendum because we got an answer in the 70s?

Don’t be silly.

We should have a say on what Brexit looks like. Even if it’s just soft vs hard and no Remain. Cameron fucked us all, no sense is pretending that isn’t true.

The most popular Leave option and Revoke. Though since 'Leave means Leave', personally I'd have No Deal against Revoke but to avoid any complaints of foul play I'd be fine with whatever the Leave side agreed on.

Come on. At worst you can say he’s a naive leftie who tries too hard to back the underdogs. He wasn’t out there with bombs FFS. Also, again, 30 odd years ago. The fact you have to go back that far suggests it’s not the strongest argument.

What are you afraid he’ll do?

1, Why is it always the terrorist that he has sympathy for?

2, Why did he always show sympathy for terrorists killed even when they were planting bombs but always refused to show sympathy for those who were totally innocent including women and children killed by bombs and guns?

with respect you have been deflecting - we were discussing mr Corbyn and his links to terrorist organisations. Dom raised it and I supplied some links and you also provided one that agrees he supports an organisation that endorsed mass murderer in the uk

1) One man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter. Powerful states don’t tend to need to resort to guerilla tactics.

2) This is baseless.

This is as silly as saying why does Johnson support killing Muslim babies.

Campaigning on that but also committing to implement it aren't necessarily contradictory however.

but then a general election could follow and a party has a view that the referendum was flawed and would immediately withdraw again if elected?

With respect this is bullshit. I asked him for direct comments from Corbyn and he provided none-nor have you. You try to use guilt by association but don't apply the same principle to other politicians. The link provides no such evidence.

Corbyn has been the subject of more bogus media stories than any other UK politician since he became Labour leader. Claims have had to be retracted because to all intents and purposes they were libellous. There are so much better arguments against him than these efforts to paint him as an IRA lieutenant

If you think that the public still wants it you'll have no objection to another vote. If you want some finality to this bullshit you'll also have no objection.

Oh it’s the media again

The Jewish community are thick it’s the media

The working class who have an opinion different to yours are thick it’s the media

the unionist population of Ireland are thick - it’s the media

Perhaps you should be the only person allowed a vote. Makes sense

I can't see any renegotiation happening. What has been offered is all that will be offered. Take it or leave it. Leave it means leave without an agreement/revoke article 50/another referendum. Take it means leave the EU then start talking about a deal.

I already mentioned my concerns with that approach (over complexity, not playing well to an electorate as it seems you're trying to do something behind their back), and that doesn't mean the current position is contradictory, either. it does mean it's hard to explain and sell. It's not the Grendels of this world you need to sell it to, it's the middle of the roaders and if they don't get it, they won't vote for it.

Keep it simple stupid is what you need.

tbf they also said May's deal was the definitive final answer. If some of the red lines were relaxed (as with dumping on NI and the DUP, this time around) the EU might be amenable, especially with a different make-up of parliament.

But as I said, I don't think it plays well at all for getting a message across, so should be dumped. It also depends on taking the leap of faith that a different government could come up with this holy grail of a Brexit to end all Brexits too!

That would be for a later date when negotiations finally start. That would be after leaving. What I said is I can't see any more changing of the agreement to us leaving. Not unless it was to stop us from leaving without an agreement. And I can't see that happening. I don't even think we will leave.
