National general strike to prevent a No-Deal Brexit

[itsnotarace]

Would that work? If not, why not?

The Conservatives are back tracking on their Withdrawal Agreement so it was leaked last night. This will lead to either a united Ireland or a border wall between north and south. If that happens what was the point of the Good Friday agreement?

Because the vast majority would not join it.

Then we have a border wall and divided families aka East / West Germany

Is that preferable?

Because most people wouldnt join it as they are not terminally thick.

It's all a game of chess but you maybe on your own on a march. Don't forget your mask and coat it's going to be a cold winter I think.

I doubt they'd be in their own.

But until they get 17.6m marching it means SFA.

Just 3.5% actually

I noticed the 3.5% is the latest fashion amongst the twitterati

Are those on furlough likely to strike? Or those concerned about their near-future employment prospects? I think not.

Rubbish. East Germany locked it's citizens in. I have had no trouble visiting EU or non EU countries where a "hard" border exists. Are you seriouisly suggesting either the EU/Ireland or the UK would stop their citizens travelling?

like all those other big protests and marches they had, which achieved absolutely nothing.

Most of the people that do actual jobs voted Leave.

How many of those wanted no deal and a hard Ireland border?

Can people not change their minds when faced with the reality?

They were lied to, repeatedly

Iirc at the time there was fuss because so many retired people voted leave, wasn't there?

Near enough 2 million adults needed in the UK, and no significant movements in the opposite direction to offset that. You'd probably get 2 million to "sign" a petition on change.org but I don't think slacktivism is what the BBC are talking about here.
