The biggest loss is the fact we're obliged to keep Kent.

The biggest loss is we're obliged to keep Johnson

Nirvana have a lot to answer for

Harsh.

 

[brogdale]

A thought for the thousands who've spent the last few years working to prepare for the No-Deal chimera of Johnson's negotiating stance.

 

[brogdale]

So, not abstaining this vote, then?

 

[magneze]

Looks interesting but its behind a paywall.

A private browser window will get around the paywall.

The essay is long but worth reading through in full.

What has actually changed then? We got a little more fish and everything is the same as before?

Fucking over any potential attempts by Rees-Mogg and pals to derail this deal and force a crash out is really the only card he has to play here. As usual, whatever he does is just a minor move in a tory game with tory rules.

Free trade in goods where the EU has a surplus, but not in services where it doesn’t. Border down the Irish Sea. Lots of red tape for exporters.

Voting for the deal will come back to haunt them


It is another of their unfinest hours

So...in which order will the constituent nations of the presently existing UK rejoin the European supra-state?

Throwing coins at leavers is like rewarding them for voting as they did

 

[Ax^]

depends if you aiming at their heads at the time

and we would be using Euros

 

[bimble]

Is there anybody in the land who will be really happy about the content of the deal ? Probably by it’s inevitable nature, not, so it’s finally brought unity in a sort of shit way.

So would anything else they might do. That's the problem with trying to be left-neoliberal, the fundamental contradiction at the core of your very being means that any arrow you throw can only return against you.

NI first as it gets absorbed into Eire, then Scotland then the rest of rUK, I'm gonna to not go out on a limb (because I'll be dead or senile) and predict Irish re-unification in the mid-2030's, Scottish Independence around 2040 and the rUK rejoins the EU (if it's still called that) around 2045-2050
