Yep. An extension to Article 50 seems inevitable now. Let's hope that it isn't as complicated as a visa extension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grusa Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 A plague on all their houses. Guy Fawkes had it right, get rid of all the snout-in-trough politicians, ban party politics, and start afresh. Not just in UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app It's May's plan to run out of time, forcing MPs to choose her deal over crashing out. May's deal is an enormous let down for the Brexiteers as well as for the remainers and Britain ends up far worse off than with no Brexit at all. But it is a Brexit of sorts and all the leave boys (Johnson, JRM etc) haven't come up with an alternative. They just keep telling May to go back and do better!

dunroaming Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 "It's May's deal or a long delay" according to Ollie Robbins talking in a bar in Brussels. That seems to be today's revelation. No doubt tomorrow it will something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CG1 Blue Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Listening to LBC yesterday / today I'm hearing a lot of commentators close to the action suggesting the EU will eventually agree to make the necessary changes to the backstop. This despite the public statements to the contrary from the men in Brussels. Just Brussels brinkmanship? This might explain why May is telling MPs to hold their nerve. Maybe she isn't banging her head against a brick wall after all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nausea Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Why wouldn't she? Pushing a dead horse. I think it's fairly obvious now thst leaving the EU is a dead option for the UK, it's all about logistics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
