Is Brexit actually going to happen?

[killer b]

No vote; no Grieve amendment.
Game on again for the Brextremist Atlanticist loons.

So maybe parliament will force a vote to get the Grieve amendment through?

When/if they vote on something/some other thing, there'll be a very real chance of MPs wandering into the wrong lobby. Bit like me pissed on holiday trying to get in the wrong room. That's it, that's British politics - me, sunburned and pissed.

Utter May Hmmm!

Strange days when even an arse like Hodges can say something amusing...

Someone needs to take that wanker to task for using urban brackets. I’ve been sucked in by that a few times, it makes his name impossible not to like.

We were ensconced in Greece when the referendum result came through. We have often wished we had just stopped there.

I'm listening to the Revolutions podcast (which is excellent btw) at the moment. At this point in the narrative there are usually crowds in the street, regimes trembling behind palace gates, and everything just one "and then someone, nobody knows who, fired their gun" away from barricades, provisional governments and madame la guillotine.

Meanwhile Paris burns.

 

[HoratioCuthbert]

This covers it perfectly at this point. What the fuck is going on? Why aren't we in the streets? We don't have a government!

Get out on the streets FFS us rural no marks depend on youse for opportunities like this.

Just seen somebody from telegraph, mentioned in grauniad thread, speculating that she could put the vote off till New Year to allow 'meaningful negotiations' with the EU. 100% speculation, but if anything like that is true it (obviously) gives the lie to her claim that no further negotiations were possible. That's at the level of 'you shameless fucking liar', something that in itself should lead to her being booted out.

I thought on wider internet it meant something anti semitic

It’s a bit nippy, chance of rain.

Apparently there needs to be a vote in parliament to approve the vote being pulled... which the government could lose, and the vote go ahead anyway (and they'd then lose that).

They might as well just play the Laurel & Hardy theme tune over the PA system in parliament.

It is a bit wet and cold outside though.

Thank you Mr. Speaker may I say my pantaloons are dripping wet!

But a Spartacus act when done to one's own Twitter name:

"some Twitter users, including Jews and non-Jews, intentionally put triple parentheses around their usernames in an act of solidarity"

apparently there's a workaround. hmph.

(even if it did get forced they could filibuster)

"After her success with Brexit, the United Nations has put Theresa May in charge of sorting out climate change, ISIS and the ever thorny issue of cheese vs beans"

Astonishing!

I'd say its the opposite ...the problem is the government we do have, and the reason for not taking to the streets is it would further embolden the wingnuts ....Still trying to work out how Islam is responsible for EU

WTFK any more!

 

[Wookey]

The idea that, under a different government, the only deal available is the one negotiated by the previous government is laughable. Of course they'd renegotiate.

That's not a one-way street though is it? Spain had only just got its arse into gear over Gib before the deal was finalised - many countries would be asking for improvements to the deal from their perspective. It could end up being unrecognisable from the current deal, the idea that they will tinker with the backstop and change nothing else is fantasy.

This is getting like the Blackadder episode with his pants on his head and pencils up his nose.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Genuine option, or just more politicking?

 

[Sasaferrato]

Absolutely fucking outrageous. This simpering fucking half-wit, the worst PM I have ever seen, Is trying to save her own fucking miserable skin,

Resign now you fucking lying bastard.

The DUP have already said they'd back the government. Its dead in the water unless they just fancy some showboating.
