"Prime Minister Theresa May has called off Tuesday's crucial vote on her Brexit deal so she can go back to Brussels and ask for changes to it.

"As it stands the deal 'would be rejected by a significant margin' if MPs voted on it, she admitted."

The biggest stumbling block appears to be the issue between Ireland and Northern Ireland. In particular, what the borders will look like in terms of what people and goods will need to do or not do in order to cross it.

    Yet leave voters are the ones who are called "thick" and "fascistic"?

    The loudest ones in any group are generally either one or the other, or both.

    But given that almost as many people voted to remain as did to leave, I could justifiably call the absolute refusal of many leave voters to accept any kind of compromise "thick" and/or "fascistic".
