A question no one can answer with any confidence until the vote takes place.

It could be. The big questions are whether the hard line Brexiteers will decide it's too risky to vote against and whether Theresa May can pursuade the DUP to stick with her.

If she slips them some money to keep Bombadier from making all those redundancies - that might help! :D

If she wants to remain anyway, she won’t need offer anyone any money.

It seems I got lost and confused somewhere between pages 27 and 230 (approx) because I thought we'd voted to leave the EU.

Now I'm reading that we're thinking of paying a large wad of cash to the EU so we can stay in it, but are actually out of it :shrug: :sulk:

Like any legal agreement, there are fees and charges if you leave early to cover outstanding costs incurred.

Simples...

It appears that Slovakians living in the UK have taken to whipping local residents in Sheffield; I wonder if this is connected to Brexit??

Yup, almost certainly. It's page 4 of the agreement actually.

Part of May's appeasement: Compulsory whipping of all UK residents by Slovakians daily. :D

The French may also hold us in contempt but no more than a true Brit already holds themselves in contempt, So win for May there.

I used to love the Telegraph website back in the day when they used to publish a ton of columnist blogs every day. The below-the-line comments were always a riot (and made me seem like a hand-wringing liberal) :D

The Telegraph used to be a pretty good newspaper to read before it followed the way of other newspapers and became too politicised.

They fired a lot of the journalists and turned into a clickbait driven commentary site. It's a shame because it was a Conservative paper but took itself seriously but now it's just a mess. All papers have been declining to an extent but the destruction at The Telegraph is still dramatic.
