In my humble opinion. ;)

The longer Brexit goes on without any real thought or reason, the more I'm utterly convinced that the ONLY reason it's still going ahead is because of the Anti Tax Avoidance Directive that the European Commission will bring into power in 2019.

I genuinely cannot think of any other reason. A quick Google of "brexit tax avoidance" gives a great deal of information and confirmation of this.

This "will of the people" bollocks is... well, bollocks. It's a phrase designed to give us the illusion of choice. A second referendum now we have facts and figures - and even a total lack of facts and figures in many places - would resolve this and give us a more realistic result. And no - it's nothing to do with wanting to keep voting until I get the result I want. This is yet more bullshit being fed to the gullible by the Leave campaign. Please don't demean yourself by pretending you knew what you were voting for because it's no secret that nobody knows what's happening even now.

Edit: I hasten to add this is not a direct reply to Captain Starlet, whom I believe is on the same page regarding Brexit. It just happens to be the post I added my reply to. :)

Here's the report from the Electoral Commission into Vote Leave.

Robert Peston this afternoon:

".@theresa_may says 70 "technical notices" for businesses and households will be published in Aug and Sept setting out how we can all prepare for a no-deal Brexit (should that be what happens). Yikes"

I thought it was all sunny uplands, easiest trade deals and unicorns for everyone? Perhaps that's it, we have to be told to prepare for receipt of our unicorns.
