They'll be doing us a favour.
Any 'deal' with Trump will involve him telling Boris to bend over, and Boris asking "how far?"

The main take away from Boris's (farewell?) tour of the UK, according to the people he's met with, is that he has no detailed plan for No-deal. He seems to be placing all his faith in blind optimism and promising to 'turbo charge' everything.
I'm not sure he even knows what turbo charging is. I once had a machine with a n/a engine that I thought would benefit from more power, so I got it turbo'd.
It did make a big difference and it ran like a dream... for about 6 months. Then it dropped a valve and blew up...

What's your smart money on then?

I honestly think Labour will not win a GE and proberly lose a lot of seats in the North that voted leave only hope is Farage

^God I hope they win, I've had enough of this shite

If our economy is heading for a recession as many are either saying will happen as a result of a no deal Brexit, I'm wondering if it would be worse and deeper than the 2008 financial crisis, thr I would lay blame firmly at the Tories' door, as they have dithered with Brexit for nigh on three years and the May deal was their best attempt? I wouldn't trust Labour to even get a deal that works either.

Also I wish someone would JUST tell Blair to stop poking his fucking nose in this, he's got bigger shit to deal with in the Middle East IMO.

I sometimes wish Boris would drop a turd and blow up especially as he thinks we need the crassness of Trump getting a deal done and the backstop would probably most likely be part of any new deal.

Maybe to help cover the costs of the up to £30bn loses that are being projected by financial institutions, the Government could come up with No Deal Bonds.

Every person who voted for Brexit would buy into these bonds, if it is going to be the raging success they say it is then those bonds will mature and they will make a killing. If it turns out that the financial institutions are correct we will have the money to cover those loses. Brexiteers are always saying we need to be more optimistic and believe in our country will this is their chance to demonstrate that belief and invest in Brexit. Remortgage your homes and release some equity, draw early from your pensions up to £100K, dip into your savings, sell shares in your companies.

Mr Martin, Mr Dyson, Mr Rees Mogg, Mr Tice, Mr Banks, Mr Farage how much in bonds can we put you down for?

Brexiteers put your money where your mouth is or be exposed as lying cowards and let Parliament revoke Article 50
