International Women’s Day

WFT? sexist or what? when's international Richard Herring Day?

 

[Yossarian]

i am also concerned about CRI's increasing identification with residents of the uk, as witness her frequent use of 'we' when talking about brexit

CRI has lived in Britain for many years, IIRC.

Cats and dogs don’t have bills.
Ducks do.

"After a 2020 referendum asking voters to choose between 'Another Day in Paradise' and 'Against All Odds' was inconclusive, 'Phil Collins' Greatest Hits' became the British national anthem..."

We voted for God Save the Queen, but those decidey-for-ye bastards just ignored us

against all odds is clearly the superior song.

You don't know that, nobody knows the future. Leaving with no deal is still possible, and absolutely definite without a ratified deal or extension, neither of which has majority support at present. With three weeks to go.

Look mate, I don't know what's gonna happen tomorrow but I'm pretty confident it will not rain frogs, the sky will not change colour and the Remain supporting Parliament will not vote for no deal. Not difficult is it?

It is a no deal though, that's what happens come 29-3-19.

All parliament can do is come up with a deal...which they've not managed in 2 1/2 years but you think will happen in the next 24 days?

What makes you think that...as you check the sky for frogs?

In case you've not been paying attention, Parliament will vote to force May to extend A50.

May can't force an extension.

Good choice as we are now 42 years later on and still There’s no future and England’s dreaming.

 

[Pickman's model]

anyway it's dinnertime and nothing new will have happened by the time i rejoin the fray

 

[SpackleFrog]

May can't force an extension.

OK, Parliament will vote to force May to ask for an extension.

...which will be granted. EU has already said as much. It might finally mean the end of May, though. But I've said that before...

 

[andysays]

...which will be granted. EU has already said as much. It might finally mean the end of May, though. But I've said that before...

I agree that it's very likely to be granted if requested, though there may be conditions demanded as a result.

I reckon (based on nothing more than gut feeling) that Parliament getting its act together to force May to make the request is still the bigger hurdle of the two.

 

[Teaboy]

I don't know but I have this growing feeling the deal will pass at the next vote. Its just a sense from reading around the various different media sources but I get the impression that the DUP and ERG lot are softening and throw in a few from the opposition benches that just needs enough tories to back May.

Not really, that vote is already scheduled. It seems inevitable should May's deal be voted down. They'll vote against a no deal and then vote for a request to extend.

 

[SpackleFrog]

...which will be granted. EU has already said as much. It might finally mean the end of May, though. But I've said that before...

Yeah I keep thinking this - that May is doomed if she can't get a deal through Parliament after the deadline. But on the other hand, she's defied gravity for so long...
