I guess the stalemate could be resolved by the UK not going through with Brexit.

to me that will only make more people petition for 2nd referendum and probably even then it won't be as clear cut as the first

They won't, they have to invoke it and then negotiations, I assume they are getting a leader first.

Looks like lawyers are now getting involved according to Sky sources 1000 lawyers have signed a letter to Dodgy Dave to say Referendum vote was not "Legally Binding" Probably letter was instigated by Murdoch!!

The 4.1 million vote e-petition for a 2nd referendum was just dismissed, so don't worry too soon, mate.

Wow the remain camp are getting desperate.

It was a vote, they lost, get over it. if the leave had a lost theyed have just accepted it and there would have been an out cry from the remain camp if the leave would have challanged it.

There are 194/5 countries in the world, only 27 are in the EU.

Anybody would think a country cannot possibly exist without it, especially one of the richest most powerfull in the world.

They said they wouldn't accept it. They said the fight would go on. Farage said a close defeat would mean "unfinished business".

The pound is now rated as a less stable currency than bitcoin.

I wonder what is the bitcoin/pound conversion rate?

1 British Pound equals 0.0020 Bitcoin.

Quote:Bitcoin has long been thought to be the world’s most unstable currency – moving from being worth $2 to $1,137 in the last five years. But that wildly volatile currency is now becoming a safe refuge when compared to the fluctuations in the pound.

For a brief period this week, Bitcoin’s 10-day historical volatility – a measure of how much its price has been changing – dropped below that of the British pound.
