Hmm similar approach, but I recall the site I'm thinking about being more specific about the EU in general rather than brexit. For example, mythbusting stories about the old bendy/straight Bananas furore from the 2000s.

So surely Labour are going to back a second referendum at their conference. That would give quite a likely path to a second referendum in my opinion, as the Tory government is likely to fall over the absolute cluster strawberry float they are making of it.

EDIT: Another GE would be bad news for the tories in a lot of ways, Labour are far more likely to unite around the Europe issue and I can see the Tories being torn apart.

Some good news


The members have motioned that Brexit/second referendum is tabled for major discussion on Tuesday. Looks like it’s actually the unions that dot want a second vote, not momentum which has built up major support within the party for the last few months. Preparations for a snap GE in November.


3 blokes and an MP - Environment
- Food coming from further distances = higher carbon footprint
- Farm land area having to increase = hedges replaced with fence/barbed wire = less habitats for wildlife
- Banned eu chemicals to protect insects/workers etc will be allowed again
- Keeping refrigeration trucks running while queuing for customs
- Live animals shiting and pissing. Disease
- clean beaches that were possible from eu regulations. Gone
- from what I can make out it was with a room full of Lib Dems preparing for a second refendum and campaign tactics

He can say that because he knows the party conference won't be set up a formal vote to make 2nd Referendum party policy he has to follow

Everyone vote labour please (if it leads to a 2nd Referendum)

One Labour delegate inside the room told The Independent: “There were endless speeches from all sides of the debate, a lot of push and pull. But the majority who wanted the support for a referendum strengthened won out.”

An early draft of the motion put forward by the Labour leadership was six pages long and only mentioned a new public vote on Brexit as an option to be considered, but a more tightly worded version was proposed by the Remain-supporting TSSA union boss Manuel Cortes.

Even if my vote did make a difference, I couldn't bring myself to vote for that shower of shite.

If we ignore the issue it will go away.

Corbyn has been a very outspoken Euro skeptic his entire political career so why, and I'm not talking about folk here when I ask this, is there this belief across the interwebs that he is somehow going to be the man to save us from Brexit?

Because he is a big leftie and leftie idiots are blind to the fact he is a euros epic because they are so hard at the idea of a full on leftie labour leader.

I think it's more to do with his move to make the party more democratic, so he will be bound by what the membership agrees.

Because he (obviously bregrudingly) campaigned for Remain.
He leads a party that's mostly remain (although they're busy courting the Gammon vote and assuming others will vote for them anyway)
He's meant to be opposing the government (unfortunately to him this means the position "You can't deliver the Brexit Unicorn. Labor will!")

He's the only one realistically positioned to pull up Brexit (possibly with SNP support) and people are clinging to hope

Can't let anything get in the way of that socialist utopia the EU is holding us back from
