The letter boils down to Johnson v Parliament. Dictatorship v Democracy.
To those who are sick of it and just want it done, I wonder what they would have thought if there had been a similar sentiment during the War. i.e. 'This has been going on for three years we've had enough, we surrender.'
Has there ever been time limits on the big events in history?
What's the rush. Get an extension and get a better deal, one that serves the public interests instead of the dictatorship's.

Thought it was 55% who voted, so that's 11 out of every 20 of us voted to stay governed by that shower

Dr Philippa Whitford put it perfectly in saying, if someone was on a ledge contemplating suicide, would we say we've had enough of trying to save you so jump?
Of course not. This "Get Brexit done" narrative is very dangerous.

Thought 62% of the electorate who could be bothered to vote in 2016 voted to remain in the EU??

Indeed which means 38% voted to leave the EU. Only a meagre 7% less than voted for Scotland to be an independent nation.
And although my eyes were open
They just might as well be closed

They did...they're the 2 in 3 (approx.). So if you add all that together you get 1. Do I need to continue the lesson in fractions?
My point is you're suggesting the Irish (N.Irish) and Scottish are somehow better yet we still had nearly a third of the country vote to go. So not as smart as we like to think we are.

Not necessarily better, just see it differently from our masters.

That's it AAPS. Not only that, dare I say, those who are so sick of it they just want it done sound like the real white flag brigade. Hasn't anyone pointed that out in Parliament or in the media when Big Jaw and Real-Smug were doing their 'surrender' and 'chicken' routines?
It needs toughing out and staying power so as to get the best deal, not bottling like the 'we're sick of it and just want it done' wimps.
Didn't I hear that if this deal passes, Big Jessie can push through 'no deal' because the backstop has gone? Get wise people. You really think you could trust jumped-up-Johnson with the futures of the UK and public?

With his debonair, patrician charm Michel Barnier, the EU Chief Negotiator, has a striking resemblance to another man well used to calamity and catastrophe: Scotsportâs former anchor man the late Arthur Montford. At the moment Barnier is hurriedly trying to make sense of three contradictory letters sent from the Mother of Parliaments, but Arthur often faced much worse than that when midweek football film was caught in traffic, or was being developed in haste while the programme was already on air.
That creaky Scotsport theme tune, which sounded as though it was being cranked by hand, set the tone. Many a time the phone on the Scotsport desk rang with bad news which Arthur responded to in his unflappable style. I remember one night they filmed at Shawfield from the top of a Bovril hut positioned behind the corner flag. Another time, in a seven goal thriller at Brockville, Arthurâs commentary was slightly ahead of the film, so that he was roaring âWhat a goal!â just as the ball was leaving the playerâs foot. One Saturday night I came home expecting to see highlights of a Dundee v Celtic game but shouts of âCome on Stennyâ alerted me to a change of plan; fearing the Dens Park game would be postponed due to frosty conditions the STV unit had settled for the safer bet of an Arbroath v Stenhousemuir clash at Gayfield.
But for all that Arthur usually managed to deliver some sort of package for Scottish football fans, so I hope Mr. Barnier can manage the same. Politics of course has even more stramashes and disasters than football, but this photo of Arthur explaining to a famous Raith Rovers supporter why his team wonât win the league suggests Arthur knew both worlds.

Always remember Arthurâs jacket, mesmerising black and white check. Well,everything was b/w on the telly those days
And when he rather shyly informed the Scotsport viewers that his allegiance was to a certain ream in Greenock, thus puncturing the allegations of bias from the supporters of certain other bigger clubs.

I gave a letter to the euro postman
He put it his sack
but I refused to sign it
So he brought my letter back
Angela wrote upon it
Return to sender, heidcase unknown
No such deal you lied to the Throne
We had a quarrel, a commons spat
I wrote without signing an my letter keeps coming back
So then I dropped it in the euro inbox
And sent it to Junker before his tea
Bright in early next morning
It came right back to me
Jean-Claude wrote upon it
Return to sender, heidcase unknown
No such deal , you lied to the Throne
This time I'm gonna take it myself
And put it right in her hand
I only hope Jeniffer will understand
And if it comes back the very next day
Then I'll leave without a deal anyway
Return to sender, heidcase unknown
No such deal you lied to the Throne
We are forever shaped by the Children we once were

Itâs expanding relentlessly.
Australia will get swallowed up sometime. As songs need be totally off the wall daft they would have strolled it in the past. Billabongs, didgeridoos, kangaroos..such a load of cobblers for cobbers to draw on.
One a more somber note The pub with no beer would have brought a tear to anyoneâs eye.
