BREXIT

[mtread]

Great stuff, but I still think the picture of a grumpy Nigel being twatted with an EU flag is better

I agree it's a terrible idea, and our (current) government has decided they are going to do it as well anyway.

No, I don’t much fancy it either, but our government is already looking at adopting it.


On the other hand, 1793 people died on our roads in 2017.  There were 170,993 casualties. 



It’s one thing blasting about on your bike, but hopefully doing so with your eyes pealed and with consideration to others.  But I am sure everyday you, like me, see people driving without any regard whatsoever for others. 



So there is some inevitability that tighter controls, which are enabled by modern technology, will be introduced.

 Oh the petitions,


Revoke article 50 is now 5,881,298 and still rising as I type this.
The we want NO DEAL petition is 581,777
 
With a petition approaching 6 million and some one million people taking to the streets of London last weekend.  Well it is clear people want their say.  And there is no thirst whatsoever in the country for NO DEAL.

Tusk had the audacity to stand up in the EU parliment as say "You can not betray the 6 million who marched and signed the petition to revoke article 50" 
The shear brass neck and arrogance of the man. (betray 6 million BETRAY !!! ) what about the 17 million Tusk     

Are you remainers really happy to live under these kind of people --- really

Latest news. May offers to resign if they back her deal. Tories again putting their party before country.

[VNA - BMW Wank]

It's all about the Tories.

[Grayo]

Tories again putting their party before country.

But all parties do that. As I've said before, all Politicians are thieves and liars. All Politicians are in it for their own personal gain. There is not one Party or Politician who really gives a flying fuck about the hard working man on the street as long as they are doing very nicely out of it. The usual case of "Fuck you Jack, I'm alright."

Yes - so why on earth would someone want and extra layer of politicians within the EU

Thats so she can say afterwards that it was nothing to do with her.

I read it that she was off if ANY further negotiations were needed so actually, not off it they accepted her deal.

Because they're a foc site better than the crap we currently have in the UK

No, I can’t agree with that.


In recent times I believe the Lib Dems put country before party when they joined in coalition with the Conservatives.  I also believe that was a huge mistake for them and subsequently they have paid a price.


I am even prepared to accept that there are some, a few, misguided souls in the Tory party who actually care about the country and it’s people.
But on the whole the Tories exist to rule, and do whatever they can to rule, and rule to look after their own interests.  And yes they will put party first, they will always put themselves before anything else.


But most MP’s try to do their job, some of them well, some of them not so well.


And it goes without saying – well we elect them.



Obviously as a Scot it’s extremely frustrating to have a Tory government – there are few Tories in Scotland – and also to be suffering a BREXIT we never as a country voted for. 



But yeah when it comes to elections, if anybody asks me how to vote, I’ll tell them choose the best candidate, and don’t whatever you do vote Tory.  Never ever vote Tory.

27 countries that can reach agreement.
27 countries that are now trying to help us - though ironically, considering it is BREXIT, by setting the agenda in our parliament.
You couldn't make this up.

People's vote defeated, but the smallest defeat of all options.
The Troies want to bring back May's deal.  But that had the biggest defeat in pariamentary history.  The ERG looks like it might now back it and bring others with them.  The DUP will not support it.   However the deal cannot, or should not be brought back for a third vote unchanged.
So the way forward - tonight looks like this.
2nd referednum - and the question is clearly;
May's Deal
or
Ditch BREXIT
 

[YamFazFan]

So what happens on Monday?. Do they have another go at this?

[VNA - BMW Wank]

 Not sure YamFazFan.
I think yes, they have another go at it.  But they need to ditch No Deal and Malt house.  Those were most heavily defeated.  So, and I’m guessing, it’s a process of elimination.
As for May’s deal.  I fear it could be brought back as these are exceptional circumstances.  But I hope that Bercow will stand firm.
Also, those who don’t want May’s deal, can now see other options that could get across the line.  So, if it does come back from the dead, they can see a way forward if they bury it for a third and final time.
What we can still be sure of, with a great degree of certainty, is that nobody really knows what will happen next.
Ah well, time to sit doon wi a dram, and see if Newsnight can enlighten me a wee bit.
At least there is some sort of very basic progress.

A lot of Troies are going to come in behind May's deal.  But hopefully not all.
The fact is they have lost control, they are not in government as we know it.They hate this - but they brought it upon themselves.

So what happens on Monday?. Do they have another go at this?

I think (although I'm not certain) it will be a "Preferential Vote", so instead of just ticking "Aye" or "No" to a proposal, MPs rank them in order of 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc and the lowest one is eliminated.

The votes from those who put it in first place are then redistributed according to their second choice etc until one comes out on top.

The man has no shame.....

A spokesperson for number 10 trying to tell Bercow that May's deal has passed his test that it has significantly changed, because :
1. The leaving date has been put back
2. Something might change on the backstop


As we say down sarf 'They're having a larf!'

 So 8 ways to leave the EU and the idiots still can not come up with any ideas that will pass.

There must be more ways than that to leave the EU.

The problem is all inside your head, May said to me
The answer is easy if you take it Farage-ley
Rudd like to help you in your struggle to be free
There must be fifty ways to leave the EU

She said it's really not my Hammond to intrude
Further more I hope my meaning won't be lost or Chris-construed
So I repeat myself, at the risk of being Claude
There must be fifty ways to leave the EU   

Just slip out the back, Jean, make a new plan, Ann
Don't need to be coy, Gove, just listen to Mogg
Hop on the bus, Boris, don't need to discuss Tusk
Just drop off the key, Jeremy, and let us be free

She said it Grieve’s me so to see you in such pain
I wish there was something I could do to make you Vote again
I said, I appreciate that, then would you please explain about the fifty ways
She said, why don't we both just sleep on it tonight.
And I believe, in the Corbin you'll begin to see the light
And then she kissed me and I realized she probably was Raab
There must be fifty ways the EU
