Yes, you are right to point out that option as one still sitting there, but I am making an assumption that like all the other Brexit options, that one would be voted down. To summarise where we are; which is that the UK doesn't want any of the pathways for leaving the EU other than the one of leaving in principle. That should leave no-deal as the crash option Vs pull A50 accompanied by GE, whatever.

yes, ok that.

 

if may-deal should be defeated again, then options are fewer and less palatable,

revoke

no-deal

long extension (in theory)

Not really. The second delay takes account of either the TM vote going down or not put. If now the May 22 extension is pushed aside then we still have the April 12 extension. It makes more sense for Theresa May to put her motion forwards around April 11. The options on the table then would be the TM motion Vs no-deal Brexit. That should concentrate minds a little. One other additional pathway would be to request a longer extension (eg 1/2 years) but that would be refused by the EU unless the UK was prepared to run the EU elections. So there it is chaps. 

She may not last till then with only one of the 16 whips reportedly backing her. I've never seen anything like this in my sallow 58 years.

2 things. Firstly that the motion may not be presented next week. And secondly that if it is presented prior to April 12 it will be close to the deadline.

Yeah, none of those are going to happen. 
Our children and our children's children can look forward to a life of free world trade, prosperity and freedom from a foreign empire rule. As we do with our grandparents, who saved us from a European tyranny, they will look back and say "Thanks Grandad, for saving us from that EU catastrophe that the Remainwashed wanted to tie us to."

What are you smoking - I'll have some of it.  Since 'Remoaners' took that term as a badge of pride it would seem the latest term of abuse is 'Remainwashed' which doesn't really parse that well.

Tantrums as make-up-your-mind time relentlessly closes in.

Yeah, freedom from foreign empire rule, I couldn't agree more. I presume you are talking about Scotland wanting to stop being one of the little Englanders last colonies. We certainly would be more prosperous if all our oil money wasn't being spent giving tax cuts to the (Mainly) English rich. It beats me how (Apparently) over 50% of the English working class support the Tories - turkeys and christmas. UKIP is there for the working class racists, they must be sick in the extreme if even Nigel Farage has dumped them, it is the first evidence that Farage may actually have a human side to him. And no, you can't describe Europe as being a foreign empire, that's nuts, they are a collection of Nation states working together of their own free will. 

Hey up hey up - can we stay on the same side till it is done and dusted - to stick Scottish secession from the Union into the mix at this juncture would be to stoke the fires of calamity.

Hard Brexiteers don't care about any of that. They have already shown they are prepared to throw the N.Ireland Peace Agreement on to the bonfire, so why not Scotland?

Absolutely. The immigrant majority will be declaring independence and the creation of the London Caliphate. They can't wait for Brexit.

 

Sadiq Khan for Caliph! Has a ring to it.

What have you got planned then to build upon the triumphal March to Leave and the Go Slow Mob.

 

Brexiteer " We are going to bring the UK to a standstill if we don't get leave !"

Copper "Sir if you keep up this behaviour then we shall have to nick you."

Brexiteer "Oh sorry then we will stick to the slow lane".

Copper "On your way then we will give you an escort".

At the moment the odds are that we are heading for an extension to April 12.

For once I have to agree with you. As that is the proceedure as dictated by the Bureaucrats in Brussels and the British establishment. Which as we are now witnessing,overrides the Democratic decision of the British people.

yes, sure that is right

 

but as far as I have understood,

if deal fails all the other 3 options can be executed at the

snap of a finger, if HoC agrees

Well maybe, but difficult to visualize right now.

In London escorts are phone numbers one calls from postcards stuck inside red phone boxes.

It never ceases to amaze me that some in Scotland would prefer to be ruled by an EU superstate. Scotland had its' own referendum in 2014 and decided to stay in the UK. See youse all wi us for the long ride JImmy.

The rest of UK would be more prosperous too, without all the Scots freebies, benefits dependency and disproportionately high number of MPs in the real parliament.
Did you try to overturn the result of the 2014 referendum too? I think I can see a trend developing here.

It's because one reason Scotland decided to stay in the union in 2014 was because it didn't want to lose it's EU membership if it left.

 

They feel cheated now.

 

One reason Scotland is happy in the EU is people there are much better educated. Another is they don't have the anti EU right wing press we do. Scottish papers are much more balanced.

Tebee..I am a Glagow man who lived there for almost 64 years...there is a lot of unrest there due to the influx of muslims and many " undesirable " eu citizens.
The proof is in the pudding..go and live in both Govanhill and Pollokshields, both areas in Glasgow for a few weeks then come back and tell me how you get on.!!!

Everyone I’ve ever known who hails from Glasgow, and I know very many, refers to themselves as a Glaswegian.

 

Odd that.

Last time I was in Glasgow, we took a walk round the Gorbals. Didn't hear a Scottish accent all the time we were there. Unbelievable

No, not odd, it's how Glaswegians talk. "I'm a Parkhead man", "He's a Govan man".
