so, which news sources do you recommend?

Sad truth is, there aren't really any unbiased mainstream news sources in the UK; it's divided between a small handful of heavily left-wing outlets (The Guardian, the Daily Mirror, The Independent, the BBC to some extent) and everything else is heavily right-wing.

Looks like everybody fears the effects of Brexit on both sides of the Northern Irish border - except the DUP leadership.

Ugh, The Guardian is not a good media outlet.  Where the Daily Mail in the UK is an awful right wing biased and often incorrect news source, the Guardian is just the same but Left instead of right.

They use the same tabloid style unsubstantiated personal hit pieces twinned with scaremongering opinion pieces.  Never use them as a source for anything.

They really aren't that bad, and nowhere near the levels of the Daily Mail when it comes to using factual and properly sourced information (of which I'm not sure the Daily Mail even bother with). The Guardian have a definite left wing bias and have a strong tendency towards emotionally charged words but their investigative pieces tend to be well researched and they'll generally use factually correct and sourced information.

There are a lot worse publications out there.

I suspect the UK is just going to hard crash out of the EU.
A boarder wall will be built in Ireland, and scotland seeks independence.

If I was a UK citizen I wouldnt have any confidence in my PM anymore, magically solveing the issues when she just wasted 2,5years.

Those of us with out rose tinted glasses knew the were going to be problems from the first week following the vote when the back peddling had already started and Cameron fled to Spain, fact is only one way was going to competently handle this situation but the PM was too scared to do it and wanted to come across as some tough guy MP and failed spectacularly to the point Corbyn has barely had to do anything but let her hang herself even with the entire Tory media spin doctors trying to bring him down they've collapse in huge fashion. What the daft bat should have done is have all these current talks before triggering article 51 while further research is done once all the information is on deck she should have come back to the people with all the information in and had a second referendum if yes then she triggers A51 with a plan in hand.

At this point I wouldn't be surprised if they extend the period and eventually do a U turn.

A good video about democracy at the example of the Brexit vote.

If Theresa May has planned for a World Trade Brexit from the start, she's one of the smartest politicians of all time. If she hasn't and we are to take her at her word, she's probably the dumbest politician in our history.

Either the law stands and we 'crash out' (lol) on the 29th or we're kept in and in 5-10yrs, the English (2M+ Brexit majority) declare independence from the UK.

I'm happy either way.

Don't Play Stationary 4 ever. Switch!

Bill Cash, Steve Baker and Douglas Carswell were our only MPs who opposed/questioned the bank bailouts.

All 3 are in favour of Brexit.

Things could get ugly if there isn’t a deal in place for a soft border in Ireland, and I have no clue how close they are to a trade deal with the EU. Honestly, it’s been a fucking disaster based off of my observations, but it’s not like they can call another referendum without pissing people off. Not a good look for the Tories.



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

They're miles away from a trade deal. Even the withdrawal agreement is only a temporary holder whilst an actual trade deal is thrashed out over the next few years. Even after the UK actually leaves (no matter how that looks), they'll be dealing with brexit negotiations for years to come.

If any of them actually had a deal they felt they could get behind then a second, ratification referendum would be a no brainer. The Tories have been an absolute shit-show these last few years.

Not sure what your point is considering they're two unrelated topics and you could find a lot of topics where they've demonstrated their ignorance.

Also, pretty sure if you went back through the records you'd find a lot more MPs questioning the bailing out of banks. I find it hard to believe only 3/650 MPs were opposed.
