Brexit and the waning days of the United Kingdom

[Iormlund]

It's like talking to a tired toddler.

"Do you want to go home?" - "NO!"
"Do you want to to stay here?" - "NO!"
"Do you want to go somewhere else?" - "NO!"
"Then what do you want?" - "NO!"

Now that we know what the British don't want, it will be interesting to see how the British government plans to find out what they want instead. .

Almost three fucking years ago.

The week gets better. Big victory for delaying Brexit.

Good thing Cameron held the referendum to settle this controversial topic once and for all. 

A fact that is sorely underreported.

What's the point?  Will the situation be different a few months down the line?

[Tamas]

Corbyn (and Labour) seem to be actively trying to trigger a no deal Brexit, but have the Conservatives take the blame for it.

Yes

I was wrong.

Can successfully booted down the road.

Can successfully booted down the road.

Not at all. There needs to be a reason for said extension. So far there is none.

The longer we delay brexit the more kids get a chance of starting their lives and the more the  demographics and general attitudes shift against brexit ever happening.

Do you really expect the EU to say "no"?

[The Brain]

The UK might one day be deemed fit to rejoin the brotherhood of nations. I'm optimistic like that.

[Iormlund]

Do you really expect the EU to say "no"?

There's not reason not to. We're going to get blamed regardless.

And in the end, it makes no difference. If we give another two months, May will run down the clock and present a fourth, a fifth, a sixth "meaningful" vote. Just get it over with.

[Tamas]

The full text of today's... thing goes something like this: If the Commons finally accept's May deal on the 20th, May will ask for a short extension so the deal can be implemented. If they refuse for the 3rd time as well, May will be asking for a long extension so that the UK will have to participate in the EU elections as punishment for the Commons' impudence.

[Josquius]

It makes no sense at all. Her deal was already rejected. Time to implement it was never the issue.
I guess from her POV she'll be hoping the hard right will recognise no deal isn't happening and her deal is as good as it gets. But I don't think....I hope.....their numbers won't be enough to force it through.

Nicer weather?

Not at all. There needs to be a reason for said extension. .

Oh come now that's just being unfair.

They already rejected a second referendum.  Brexit it will happen.
