Britain is a hugely divided nation, I don't think that can be disputed. To an extent, this goes back to the attempts to understand who voters were, and what they were voting for that we discussed earlier. Those attempts did, by and large, show that leave voters were more likely to be older, small town/rural dwellers without a university education. That doesn't explain all of course, but it's difficult to try and understand the vote AND then deliver policy interventions based upon this understanding without doing so in general terms. If there's a better way of doing it, I'd love to hear it.
i am afraid we are in for turbulent times Bruce going to take a hell of a long time to recover any chance of coming together as a country in any general sense.
There will obviously be a deal by tomorrow and everyone involved will try to polish the turd that it'd be to get it through parliament.
It's all a game to these idiots. These faux deadlines and such, playing with people's lives just to save face. Whole thing is disgusting.

Bisto owner plans Brexit stockpile
Premier Foods has said it intends to stockpile raw materials in the run-up to Brexit as fears grow over gridlock at UK ports.
The firm, which owns Bisto, Oxo and Mr Kipling, said it was taking steps "in the absence of certainty over the arrangements for the UK's departure from the EU".
Premier Foods said it expected to spend up to £10m on the preparations.
It also hopes to sell its Ambrosia custard and creamed rice business.
It said it was having "discussions with third parties regarding the potential disposal" of the brand, as well as the factory in Devon where the products are made.
Premier Foods said it had seen lower sales of custard products because of the hot summer and had reduced its promotional investment in the brand.
The company's shares were up more than 2% in Tuesday morning trading.
Delays risk
"The group shortly intends to start a process of building stocks of raw materials to protect the company against the risk of delays at ports," Premier Foods said.
The firm said this had the potential to cause "an adverse movement of up to £10m in working capital", but it hoped to compensate for that outlay in the next financial year.
Premier Foods said that "like all businesses", it had spent several months planning on "a range of scenarios subject to the nature of any Brexit deal that is reached".
"As part of this, Premier Foods have a cross-functional team in place which continues to keep the possible implications to our business under review," it added.
"This is purely a precautionary measure as Premier Foods, like all companies, ensures it's prepared for any Brexit scenario."

To be fair, the Norway model was pretty set in stone a year ago.
I have been thinking the last week or so if all this posturing is just a show to play to the audience, when a deal has already been done and dusted behind closed doors, put it down to being a cynical but might have some truth to it.
Edit ;just seen Boris say the same thing so I must be wrong

It was a post from over a year ago Joe, long before you got so wound up about name tags. Now, that vexes you far more than calling women cows.
It might not be for you but it is an opportunity for plenty.
As a member of the EU it's the right of each citizen to live wherever they want within the union. Outside the EU that decision is made by foreign governments.
Whether or not living somewhere else in the union is for you, by supporting Brexit, you are depriving others of that opportunity.
Analysis shows that areas with a larger proportion of men also had a higher percentage of leave votes. Funny, I must have missed all those articles calling for men to lose the right to vote.
It wouldn't be in the Guardian if there wasn't the obligatory anti-male comment.
It's all down to deindustrialisation and the emancipation of society innit, with traditional masculine jobs like bashing stuff and digging things up replaced by more feminine jobs like stroking people and telling them what jeans to buy. Men just don't like it. They need things to bash.

-and although you undoubtedly have issues, there's plenty of bashing jobs to be had, if only the government didn't discriminate in the favour of corporate lobbyists.
