Which again poses the question, why didn't he just let the vote go ahead on Saturday? He probably would have won!

I don't think it would be that challenging to identify large deceased posh ex-PMs recumbent in a ditch...

This is a bit disappointing to read.

He was certainly vilified by people post referendum...I do wonder if he is quite the strategic genius he has been sold as by some, or just a bit of a bully and the Tories have been keeping him in their back-pocket as a scapegoat should they fail...gawd knows.

The closer Halloween gets the less likely it seems we will be leaving...so now we are gonna have to deal with a blimming GE and all the ****e that brings. Maybe.

Another waste of money because of Brexit!

WTF do we need commemorative coins anyway?

And why are they wasting money still showing the get ready for Brexit advert?

It doesn't mean that he will implement any laws such as these - Is this not project fear? You could argue that if we stay, the EU could implement laws in the future which could hamper people in the UK.

In any event, you can have your say on what rules you want to have during a general election.

If the article is correct then I'm not sure you can label a leaked document as project fear?

Lolz, come on Felix as if any GE promises mean anything post election, that's just naive.

Alexander will do whatever he thinks will keep him in power and has no care for the fall out he causes...do you honestly think he will improve your lot?

Great - so another 3 month delay whilst they can work out how to apply for a further 'short' delay after January
Then that delay can be further extended whilst they negotiate why they had a delay in the first place - so they may as well delay it so more

I suggest nothing really constructive will happen between now and January and we will be back to square one again
