Britain will probably never leave the EU. After all the noise and posturing is over reality will prevail and a compromise will be reached,

This is exactly what you'd expect, when dogma and ideology replace reason and logic!

Theresa should be grateful for the chance to review this diabolically dumb decision, and founded on the worst possible anti migrant grounds!

And demonstrable disaster going somewhere to happen, when first proposed by, the son of a migrant turk, Boris Johnson, now waiting in the wings as potentially the next conservative leader?

And a very clever if divisive (Boris Johnson) plan coming to full fruition?

If the last election told Theresa anything, it told her that the people were maybe having some serious second thoughts about the divorce, and she should grab the extended lifeline and allow a second referendum, as proposed by the Scots, while she still has time and some remaining, European goodwill!!

Rather than sacrificing her leadership and political career, trying to play the role of a latter day recalcitrant (the lady is not for turning) Maggie Thatcher?

And given a reversal, use that as leverage to regain total border control, all that the brits really really want, which no doubt would find agreement and ultimate support throughout most of Europe!?

The Brexit vote wasn't a referendum but a plebiscite since it wasn't legally binding on the UK government. So there's plenty of scope for procrastination and any later government could simply ignore the Brexit vote. It doesn't seem plausible that the country's political and economic elites will ever accept Brexit. It will probably be at least 5 years before it's certain whether or not the UK has left the EU.

Of course the EU leaders want the UK to stay, they have been ripping offthe poor silly UK tax payers unmercifully for decades. It is the UK tax payers who pay for all the idiot subsidies that keep French farmers in comfort.

Hopefully Boris will now see it is important to take over the leadership & kick the disgusting EU, the trial run for world government, the hell back to wherever their rotten bureaucrats came from. The silly girl in the job is no iron lady.

Rule by bureaucrat is about the worst form of government possible, & the EU reflects that in spades.

Napoleon , Adolf and Mussolini lost . Scotland seems to want Europe and may be the new entry for illegals . So Hadrian's wall may get a coat of paint and new machine guns. Charles looked silly in a kilt anyway.

I think if you subtracted all the Muslim votes from the British election
Teresa May would have won by a mile.
