Brexit just seems like BDA trying to break fear in 2011.

Wipes and wipes and wipes and no loot [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Imagine if BDA had devs and rogean in their guild and they purposely wiped everyone at zone in every time because they had alts in the other guild. That’s a little bit closer to the situation.

Yea, Corbyn is a long term Eurosceptic.

May was a Europhile, even voted remain. Took on the task of leadership/Brexit after Cameron resigned because no other Conservative was willing to take the poisoned chalice. Note Boris didn't even try for leadership back then despite having backed the leave campaign.

Prior to the leave campaign Boris was a Europhile. I already linked the video where he came out on the side of leave and his justification of his position flip.
Boris was going to try for the leadership, but the wind was taken out of his sails somewhat by being stabbed in the back by ally Michael Gove, who did run for the leadership. There's nothing wrong with changing your mind either, I used to be in favour of the EU too, until they humiliated our PM once too often and it saw it for what it was - a bureaucratic-driven, anti-democratic, federal super-state with no mandate.

I don't know who funded him then, but I hear in his recent leadership campaign he was funded a 6 figure amount by hedgefund billionaires who are essentially gambling on the value of the pound tanking. More tier two elites I guess?
This seems to be an increasingly popular conspiracy theory pushed by the likes of Guardian activist Carole 'Correction' Cadwalladr. Unless you know the long positions of these funds as well, you can't at all say what their motives/hopes/expectations are. Short selling is often used as a hedge against long positions not paying off.

Agreed; changing your mind on things is a good sign, and Johnsons reasons were convincing arguments, even if i struggle to believe him as a person.

Scottish Conservative Party reverses position on Brexit, now in favour of no deal. We are the UNITED Kingdom.

Boris Johnson's 'secret Irish border plans' dismissed as non-starter.

Boris Johnson’s secret plans to solve the Irish border Brexit challenge involve customs sites on both sides of the border and real-time tracking devices on lorries, it has been reported. The idea of permanent clearance sites on both sides of the border, even five to 10 miles away, and real-time tracking of the movements of goods are unlikely to be supported by the Irish government.

I hear twinklings that Gove may be planning another Boris backstab.
