  1. The choice has always been deceptively simple: leave without a deal, crashout - or revoke Article 50. There simply is no in-between, no compromise that will please enough people. Either you're a hypernationalist and think that the economic disruption is worth "restoring our sovereignty", or you're like everybody else who breathes air, drinks water and eats food, and realise that sticking two fingers up to your closest trading partners when you depend on them for your daily necessities is not a bright idea. The vote in the House of Commons that almost got through, proposing to leave the European Union but remain within the Customs Union is a dead end, just like May's deal. It's the plan with the least flesh on its bones, and the least clarity about what it would actually mean in practical terms. It would please none of the Brexiters who wanted Brexit in the first place, since it leaves us firmly in the EU's sphere of influence, and it pleases none of us Remainers who want to continue to have a say in the future of Europe and how it is governed (and yes, I realise how ironic that is, given the sheer incompetence of our government, but there you go). In short: revoke Article 50, or put it to a People's Vote (which amounts to the same thing).

  2. If it's a three-leg flag on a red background you're looking at, it's actually an Isle of Man flag. Don't ask me why that one keeps cropping up at Brexit rallies though - it's not a Nazi symbol but it's very strange to see being used at a political demonstration, to say the least. If somebody showed up to a rally bearing my home city's crest on it, I'd take them for a loon.

  3. Okay - I only answered based off having seen that flag in another C4 video a couple of days ago, and nearly making a fool of myself mistaking it for a Nazi flag. I'm seriously disturbed by how many far-righters show up at Leave rallies though - I think it speaks volumes about what those voters really think.  @martycrow
