You couldn't make this up  :eek

I try to hear about him as little as possible 
When Article 50 is (inevitably) postponed, and his party does stand, it's a win/win situation. Either the electorate will now be wise to him and he'll fail miserably, or it will split the Tory vote.
Looking forward to it  :rollin

Because that's his name (and hopefully it pisses him off) If I start calling myself Valentino Rossi, that doesn't make me Valentino Rossi.

Postponed for what purpose though?. I can't see a bit of extra time breaking the deadlock can you?.


I've got the solution. We stay in the EU, but we hold Remain to their word that the EU is as wonderful as they say.


The minute there's any economic down turn, job losses, factory closures etc etc...we leave the EU immediately.


Currently every bit of bad news is being blamed on Brexit, so it follows that if we stay in every bit of bad news will be the EU's fault.


Deal?

Postponed, just to avoid crossing the deadline with No Deal. Deadlock will break at some point. Either May will persuade ERG to accept backstop (with slightly changed wording) or she'll do a deal with some of Labour. Just don't think she'll get it done by 29/3.
I'm tempted by your deal, but then you'll be blaming every bit of bad news on Remaining, even if it's nothing to do with the EU

Incidentally, this is how you do [brackets]

That's exactly what the Remainers are already doing with regards to Leave and we haven't even left yet!

1.      NO DEAL BREXIT – which will be economically devastating for the UK and throw us into a long term recession.  Motorcycle prices will soar. :eek :eek


 
2.      May’s deal with a tweak here and there – at the end of the day May’s withdrawal agreement is just about kicking the can down the road, it will leave the UK stuck in BREXIT mode for many years to come.  The backstop cannot be removed nor a time limit placed on it.




3.      A Norway Type deal – EFTA-EEA membership.  Which basically means single market access, but we would be able to leave common fisheries and Common Agricultural Policy (I presume this will require some negotiation).  It allows a generally quick settled position to be reached.  Business confidence can potentially be restored, and the government can go back to being a government again.




4.      A second referendum – I think this one is now dead.




5.      A general election – It could happen – what we have right now is a government in opposition.  This is a situation that cannot continue indefinitely.  Lifeless just now but............



6.      Cancel article 50.  The best option of all, but perhaps now the least likely of all.  Pretty much dead.



So what do people want?  Those I think are the main options.  If I have missed something then do let me know.
Me?  I’ll have option 6 please.
