I fear it's now a game of poker as we head towards no-deal, which European business leaders do not want and will drive the 27 back to the negotiating table; along with the backdrop of the tories doing all they can to cling onto power. I've never known the nation to be so divided as it is now, and all the talk of "civil" unrest is worrying to say the least.
If there is a second referendum, without a doubt, there will be 'civil' unrest.
