Is Brexit actually going to happen?

Will we have a brexit?

In seeking to get the EU to wobble on the agreed Northern Ireland backstop, Theresa May shows no regard or awareness for:

1) The Republic's sovereignty and the broad support among parties in The Dail for opposing the move.

2) The EU's responsibility to act in the interests of the state that will be remaining with them.

The EU giving way would look very weak. I doubt they will.
 
I said Jacob, don't you ever crave
To appear on the front of the Daily Mail
Dressed in your nanny’s bridal veil?
Oh...
And so, I checked all the registered historical facts
And I was shocked into shame to discover
That you’re the eighteenth pale descendant
Of some old queen or other

His real aristocracy is that which he married into.

He is a pretty much a vulgar fraud in aristo terms.

anyone else's interests

corrected for you
 
Its been May's strategy all along to try and run the clock down and then propose her deal or no deal as the only two options. The last few weeks had seem to thwart that but it now looks like she is trying it again. Its absolutely rotten and shows how utterly bereft of ideas she is and what contempt she hold parliament and the population in.
 
This is interesting


Is it? Old Kev just sounding like a bank manager, showing the intellectual poverty of Sinn Fein. What you get is a history lesson, and nowt else beyond a call for a border poll. Same old Shinners. If, Kev had talked about opposing a border through civil disobedience or reaching out and engaging with WC loyalists to persuade them of breaking with the DUP, then that would've been interesting.

However dull and robotic she is, I've never subscribed to the view she's an idiot. In as much as she'd deployed tactics, they've just about come off, at least as much as they could*. However in normal circumstances she'd have been booted out long ago. Weirdly, the very parliamentary arithmetic (in the house and her own party) that has stopped her getting anything through is the same arithmetic that stops her getting booted out. A perfect storm of/for inertia. The clock is just about the only thing driving this now.

* domestically, that is. Tactics with the EU not quite as successful...
 
black for the tommeh leavers

I knew this would happen...put a logical, well thought-through proposal to sort things out and all you get on Urban is harping & bickering.;)

So let's start again...
1. 'Royal' Blue (with stick-on yellow stars obvs) for the remainarians,
2. Purple for the Tommeh leavists...because they're UKIP now!,
3. Red for the few 'Lexit' folk,
4. 'Navy' Blue for supporters of May's 'deal' (tories/red tories?)
5.
'Lime' Green for...the Greens, I suppose
6. Black for Tarquin and the rest of the bloc

any takers for pink, white, maroon, sky blue or raspberry red?

I'm assuming that Labour remainers in and around my neck of the woods could turn up in their Palace shirts?

Could be quite colourful events, the riots of 2019.

Why do leavers get to choose from 5 colours but remainers only get one? :(
 
Theyre quite right to be preparing for no deal, it's what they should have done since day one, whatever you think of Brexit an whichever way you voted. Gonna take quite a few billion more though - to be saved off the 39 billion magic money tree maybe.

You cant get a good deal from the EU through reasonable negotiation on the inside - look at how the Greeks tried and failed. And look at the consequences of that. At least if the Tories/whoever runs the shitshow next year are prepared for the chance of no deal they might have the chance of some kind of "deal" on 28th March next year. It's testimony to their ruthless incompetence and arrogance that theyve spent 2 years fucking around achieving ziltch, burning the best cards left right and centre.

Even a pissed up staggering Juncker on the podium, chucking around nébuleux while France burns, the far-right organise and European economies are sliding slowly into recession seems calm and in control in comparison.
