Is Brexit actually going to happen?

[danny la rouge]

Choose between

A) Leave with no deal
B) Stay

It’s hard to tell when people are joking. Is that a serious answer?

 

[gosub]

Power failure in the room she's due to make the speech in. A vision of post-Brexit Britain?

On top of flying into Stansted.. Civil service can be very subtle

 

[Pickman's model]

Unless she is there to commit hara-kiri I won't be watching

Would you settle for her against a wall and a firing squad?

 

[DexterTCN]

She's said fuck all. Insists the EU must adapt or come up with something that suits the UK better.

No deal here we come.

Lectern's out in Downing St. for a May statement in 25m. BBC cameras only. Anyone taking bets? Chequers blinkers on? No Deal? GE?

A defiant Mrs May added: "I will not overturn the result of the referendum nor will I break up my country."

...OK great, but how exactly is that gonna work? Because no deal will cost you Scotland and quite possibly Northern Ireland and the only deal currently on the table is, um, no deal.

Maybe she's priming us for accepting whatever deal the EU offers however galling to the brexiteers or just plain crap for everyone. More likely she's just completely delusional.

Make the right noises before accepting a border, er inspection zone down the Irish sea.

Can you get crossbows off of Amazon?

I've already got the leather stuff.

Love to see her get that past the DUP.

There's no strategy is there? She makes winnie the pooh look like machiavelli. Its just short term can kicking all the way with her - and yeah - to the point of delusion. Shes like a David Brent - just comes out with whatever crap will get her out of her immediate mess - with no thought to the consequences.
So we've just had a load of bluster cos tory party conference. But there is no way she can go for no deal - the entire political, business, administrative and media establishment will be screaming "NO!" - the pound has already taken a tumble. She will have to fold or resign or both.

That type of Brexit sees Scotland follow NI out of the the UK in under 10 years...

You could, but they mysteriously sold out earlier today. Razor wire supplies are also looking perilous.

It's going to be in Holyhead. The island I live on is going to become one huge fucking car park for lorries.

If you're serious the pound will rally next week as they'll (uk govt) buy up as much as they can to increase the value.

Suits me as I get paid next week.

Although at this rate I might as well get paid in seashells.

Corbyn calling on EU to stop their political games.

"The political games from both the EU and our Government need to end"

Is he just fucking stupid? Can't he see this open goal? Why is he backing up Tory spin?

 

[andysays]

I'd be interested in seeing the thought behind both of those. They may be possibilities, but neither are automatic consequences, IMO.
And neither are necessarily a bad thing, TBH...

Queen will do her nut.

Cheery picking bits of the UK that have a stronger tie to EU, especially NI which has stronger affinity with Scotland than other bits of the UK, and Sturgeon will be calling for the same deal ...England then doesn't oblige giving indy Scot the boost it needed to get over the line, in the referendum SNP would call claiming situation was now substantially different than when last one was had

I wish I could have bought my retirement Euros in early 2016 ...

No.

No.

Ok. No EU shenanigans. OK.

And then Blighty is encircled! I see what the Hun is up to.

Not very convincing

My mum bought a shitload before the referendum. Canny old bat that one.

He's calling out both sides as far as I can see.

Tusk is being a right cunt here, that much is beyond doubt. Look at the policies of his own government and you'll see that 'cunt' is his one and only setting.
