Brexit - or Article 50: the Phoenix!

I see in their 'No Deal' contingency plans the EU and Ireland have declared they will not put a hard border between Ireland and NI but will use 'alternative means' - interesting in that they have told the UK there are no alternative means hence their back stop intransigence.

I would be entering a legal contract whereby I am entitled to steak and chips.

A manifesto is not a legal contract.

Thanks for highlighting my point. You’re maybe finally getting this!

You mean like going into a restaurant and asking for steak, waiter disappears then comes back and says they are out of steak but can do you an omelette?

Thats an odd way to look at it. If you ordered a Steak and Chips in a restaurant and the waiter brought you an omelette and garnish would you be happy if they told you the menu wasn't legal.

Doesn't that analogy work equally for Brexit? The Leave campaign promised filet mignon, lobster and a 1959 Chateau Lafite but have actually delivered a dog turd sandwich and a glass of warm piss to your table.

Your analogy doesn't work at all because nothing has been delivered yet 😉

if the menu wasn't legal and say they were serving horse steak then I'd quite like to get an omelette instead. And can I have chips with the omelette instead of garnish? Proper thick cut British chips, none of your French fries rubbish.

And a nice knitted Yogurt for desert.

You would get out and find a restaurant that treated you better and didn't insist you could only eat there if the waiter could live in your house.

I’d happily accept the discounts for him living there rather than make the poor guy homeless

Menu entering a legal contract. 😂

You didn’t say menu. You said ordered.

I really think you must be a child pretending to be an adult, such is the low level of your comprehension of complex concepts and even highlighted by your pathetic grasp of similes. You’re doing the leave campaign no favours to convince us remainers that you aren’t ignorant “gammons”.

Try harder, thats a pretty rubbish putdown 🙄
You really do have an attitude issue and I would like an intellectual debate with you but that would be unfair with you being unarmed 👍

The Govt formal response to the petitioners... apparently will break trust and Breakfast means Breakfast - irrespective of the fact you ordered breakfast or if it is on the menu

Government responded:
This Government will not revoke Article 50. We will honour the result of the 2016 referendum and work with Parliament to deliver a deal that ensures we leave the European Union.​
It remains the Government’s firm policy not to revoke Article 50. We will honour the outcome of the 2016 referendum and work to deliver an exit which benefits everyone, whether they voted to Leave or to Remain.
Revoking Article 50, and thereby remaining in the European Union, would undermine both our democracy and the trust that millions of voters have placed in Government.
The Government acknowledges the considerable number of people who have signed this petition. However, close to three quarters of the electorate took part in the 2016 referendum, trusting that the result would be respected. This Government wrote to every household prior to the referendum, promising that the outcome of the referendum would be implemented. 17.4 million people then voted to leave the European Union, providing the biggest democratic mandate for any course of action ever directed at UK Government.
British people cast their votes once again in the 2017 General Election where over 80% of those who voted, voted for parties, including the Opposition, who committed in their manifestos to upholding the result of the referendum.
This Government stands by this commitment.
Revoking Article 50 would break the promises made by Government to the British people, disrespect the clear instruction from a democratic vote, and in turn, reduce confidence in our democracy. As the Prime Minister has said, failing to deliver Brexit would cause “potentially irreparable damage to public trust”, and it is imperative that people can trust their Government to respect their votes and deliver the best outcome for them.​

Can one of the democracy deniers please explain what they don’t agree with in this statement?
