I for one certainly hope that this talk of ''respecting the referendum result'' is simply an electoral tactic, and that with regards to the EU, sanity will be resumed with a Corbyn victory- after all, a sufficiently bad Brexit is likely to sink Labour's manifesto spending pledges when the pound tanks, trade deficit widens, inflation rises and tax receipts plummet. Brexit is going to happen.

OwlFancier posted:They probably could but it would likely cost them an election as any win would likely be very fragile. I also rather doubt Corbyn would if he had any say in the matter. So what are Brits like me, committed to remaining EU citizens supposed to do? Who, with any credibility, has our back (not Farron re: credibility)?

I would suggest that regardless of Brexit a Labour government has your back far more than any of the other options. Or I guess you could move to Germany.

As an American I burst out laughing when the Tory lady said Britain should use its influence to keep Trump from pulling the U.S. out of the Paris climate accords.

Legally, yes - one of the few things that the EU have been pretty unanimous on is that a change of leadership would be one of the criteria that would let them stop the A50 process unilaterally. Politically, gently caress no.

Hoops posted:Do you remember Corbyn three-line whipped for the Article 50 vote right? He's not pro-EU. There's as many Tory MPs who are Remainers as Labour ones (including for example the Prime Minister) and nobody's quietly putting Brexit to bed there. Most of the Tory remainers are fair weather remainers, or RINOs (Remainer in Name Only). Labour is full of true believers- both the membership and back benches. As for Corbyn, I wouldn't necessarily call him 'anti-EU', rather he is an 'EU Agnostic'.

Owlkill posted:I just had a quick google of "WW2 monopoly set" and it looks like there might have been versions manufactured with wood and paper pieces in the war rather than metal, so maybe it was one of those and the story got somehow twisted to your grandparents donating the metal pieces directly rather than the manufacturer stopping using metal during wartime? This suddenly rings a bell I think you are right. I am sorry to you for googling for me, other posters for doing the legwork to estimate how many spitfires my grandparent's board games could have helped build and indeed my parents who probably never told me that and I reimagined the story in a way that sounded cooler. Much like how I told all my school mates my dad was the same as james bond because, under intensive needling, he estimated that he was roughly equivalent to a commander in the royal navy in his position as a civilian scientist in the admiralty.
