Re: Brexit

I see these possibilities (in no particular order):

1) No Deal
2) May's Plan with Customs Union and some minor stuff like dynamic alignment with EU worker directives (which is unenforceable but meh)
3) Article 50 extended and a general election either at the Governments request or because a Vote of No Confidence has been lost
4) EEA or EFTA
5) War with Spain

Re: Brexit

I don't want to be tied in to any union with the corupt EU.

If the nightmare of a no brexit, I'll never vote again, I will go to vote but spoil my paper along with the millions of other robbed leavers.

But as a exlabour vote, I'm backing May to get us out (Yes I know she was a remainer).

Corbyn is the biggest block ATM to our exit, he told all his MPs not to partake with Mays deal.

Re: Brexit

Latest William Hill odds. Odds changing on everything except a deal.
Article 50 extended 3/10 (Yesterday 1/4)
Article 50 revoked 12/1 (Yesterday 16/1)
Leave with a deal 6/1 (Yesterday 6/1)
Leave without a deal 5/1 (Yesterday 6/1)

think you'll find Corbyn is a bit of an irrelevance.

How has 'EU corruption' affected you? What if our expense fiddling, cash for questions, MPs are more corrupt?

What are if leaving the EU means losing your job, lower living standards and higher prices? What if it means the NHS can't get the staff and isn't there when you need it? Is that ok? Who will you blame when the EU is gone and things are no better/ worse? What if you've been lied to ? Unlike a General Election they'll be no turning back. Be careful what you wish for.

The Dutch press don't seem to like May.

Re: Brexit

It’s a mock-up - the original word (verslagen*) had letters before and after ‘slag’...

Too much white space under the picture, no newspaper would do that.

Anyway I think we have to wait until Monday now to see what May has planned.
He does carry a substantial block of votes but any new deal, an extension or a second referendum can get to 318(?) without him necessarily actively campaigning for any of the options.

https://www.theguardian.com/politics...s-peoples-vote

The party faces a problem. All roads to remain are via an extension anyway, so there’s no need to come out for a PV yet. Leave the Tory divisions to play out for a little longer.

Re: Brexit

I can't see this ending well, May needs to go and we need some who voted to leave to run us leaving the EU.

Entertainingly your most frequent contribution to this thread is wrong. It’s out by an hour, you are counting down to 00:00 on 30th March 2019, and not 23:00 on 29th March 2019.

Re: Brexit

I like the way you selectively edited out in your quote my bit pointing out your countdown is out by an hour.

I’ll keep you right with the countdown to the revised time when there’s an extension.

What do you base your statement about being "the greatest nation" on?

Also, your claim we are the most diverse nation on the planet is factually incorrect - https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/...the-world.html

If by diverse, you mean by immigration
Quote:
US, 45.8 Million
Russia, 11 Million
Germany, 9.8 Million
Saudi Arabia, 9.1 Million
UAE, 7.8 Million
UK, 7.8 Million
France, 7.4 Million
Canada, 7.3 Million

That's the top 8 countries hosting immigrants from different racial background and religions
