Brexit

[LindseyMitchell]

What I meant was that -
People are saying having a People’s Vote is anti democratic, because a referendum was held two years ago, and any new vote would be a betrayal of the Leave voters wishes.
Mrs May called a General Election only two years after the one before.  No one said that was undemocratic, or that it was betraying the wishes of the people who’d voted in the last GE.

In other news, there’s a post on Facebook right now stating - falsely - that the EU have given grants for firms to move from the U.K. 

I know just what saoirse means about disdain towards Scotland and Northern Ireland.  Scotland was barely mentioned in the Agreement being voted on tomorrow, and I don’t remember the Irish border issue being spoken about much in 2016, which is strange as it’s become one of the biggest stumbling blocks in the whole of the negotiations.  In the event of a no deal, I can see no alternative to there being a hard border, as the technology to monitor movement of goods doesn’t currently exist;  this doesn’t seem to bother the ardent leavers in parliament.

How many votes shall the people have before every ones happy?

From where we are now, where nobody is happy?

The Eu says we can cancel brexit, no suprise there then.

No, no surprise.

Guess what? The EU respects the sovereignty of its members.

Doesn't fit in with your narrative, does it?

What's the betting May's about to abondon the vote and attempt to kick the can down the road yet again?

I think just one vote that isn't criminally-tainted would work well.

May just cancel Tuesday's vote, realizes even her MP's know how stupid and bad her deal is compared with what we have now.

The thing is, the best way to understand Theresa May’s predicament is to imagine that 52 percent of Britain had voted that the government should build a submarine out of cheese. Now, Theresa May was initially against building a submarine out of cheese, obviously. Because it’s a completely insane thing to do. However, in order to become PM, she had to pretend that she thought building a submarine out of cheese was fine and could totally work.

"Cheese means cheese," she told us all, madly. Then she actually built one. It’s sh*t. Of course it is. For God’s sake, are you stupid? It’s a submarine built out of cheese. So now, having built a sh*t cheese submarine, she has to put up with both Labour and Tory Brexiters insisting that a less sh*t cheese submarine could have been built.

Only she can’t call them out on this. Because she has spent the past two years also lying, by pretending she really could build a decent submarine out of cheese. So that’s where we are.
