I thought that this joke was going down the lines of 'let me watch the race', his horse wins and he pays the bill... But I'm on the wrong thread for that...

Every poll now says that we want to remain. Why are we trying so hard to shoot ourselves in the foot?
Two questions:
Also, shooting oneself in the foot does not mean what you think it means.
- which polls?
- why would we believe any polls when they have been so very wrong so many times (Trump, Brexit, Thatcher third election.....)
Somebody at the Evening Standard says so.
School day - what does shooting yourself in the foot mean?
Shoot Yourself in the Foot—An Expression of Self-Destruction
Shooting yourself in the foot is an idiom that signifies self-sabotage or committing a foolish mistake that can have detrimental consequences. For example, “If we don’t sign up for this special deal, we’re essentially shootinggrammarist.com
Notice, it was all about trade - nothing else like an army or immigration etc
Was that not called a Common Market?
Brexit was only about an Army or immigration if you listened to Farage.
Anyone else feel these last minute panic talks are totally futile....bit like the queens speech.
Deal seems to be some sort of re-hash of a May suggestion months ago that was rejected by all, DUP clearly ain't on board at this time which means NI is hung out to dry somewhat, Brexiteers look unimpressed..... which all means Parliament is gonna take one look at it and say no.
Cannot see Labour, LIBs and SNP supporting it in any shape or form- look at Sturgeons remarks in Aberdeen!
At least Johnson has had a go with one hand tied behind his back. He's managed to re-nogotiate a deal (even if rejected) that a few weeks ago wasn't renogiateable according to the Eu.
Clearly one was...unless the withdrawal agreement still stands.....but no-ones mentioned this.
Wonder what he could have achieved if everyone was onside and the Eu thought he would walk away?
If this is rejected again by Mp's and by the way if its a sh1t deal, it should be kicked out what on earth will happen next?
I've not seen the deal, but sounds like May's just with different words and probably even worse if the EU are ok with it. But I suspect that's what BJ wants....o I tried but it got rejected it's on all of you for not backing it yadayada.Anyone else feel these last minute panic talks are totally futile....bit like the queens speech.
