The Brexit Thread

[Moonlight Shadow]

I can't help thinking that on the 29th of March, we will all do our own remake of the last scene in 'Planet of the Apes'....

[Satchmo Distel]

This - the Commons literally has to vote for ANY alternative before March 29th if no deal is to be avoided - unless May asks the EU for an Article 50 extension.

Which she's already said she won't do

AdeC jr reckons it'll be Mad Max

Interestingly, one Leave campaigner claims that EFTA members can already enter customs arrangements since last year, making a CU redundant:

May wouldn't go for that. This is a woman who says "I have been very clear" as often as Blair used to say "Let me tell you this".

Noow she's got rid of Nick Timothy, there might be somebody in there who could suggest it. I don't see why not. Does she even need to get EU approval? She could just commit to putting something in British law, couldn't she?

"Telecast"? Is he channelling Tony Greig?

Yeah, I can really see every channel clearing the decks for Julia Hartley Brewer.

All I want for Christmas is a #metoo moment for Mason so this fucker can never embarrass the left again.

[Lang Spoon]

Plan B is the only plan in town the EU will tolerate. As long as it’s permanent and not the temporary Norway bollocks.

[Tubby Isaacs]

That could be a clever leak by May. Backbenchers vote for her deal or they might get Norway.

[Lucy Waterman]

Forget the telecast, what does he mean by all channels? All the hundreds on digital platforms? Is he going to take over Netflix as well? What year is this?

[Lang Spoon]

In what world is Lilico an expert either? Fucking Mason.

[Lang Spoon]

But Sturgeon can’t be on cos she just represents a region of marginal importance. Fuck sake.

If this is true and Corbyn spoke those words....ffs.

[Gerontophile]

I want to know what the Pet Shop Boys have to do with anything.

[The Awesome Berbaslug!!!]

What have they, what have they, what have they done to deserve this?

[The Awesome Berbaslug!!!]

Also that Paul Mason tweet strikes me as the sort of thing that Piers Morgan might write.

[Lang Spoon]

Nah man, mason wears leather jackets and has a regional accent and everything. He’s proper cool not like Piers.

[The Awesome Berbaslug!!!]

meh, there's an element of two sides of the same coin about that tweet.

[Tubby Isaacs]

Another minister resigns, Sam Gymiah, supporting another referendum.

[Diable Rouge]

Richard North in somewhat of a paranoid mood today - suggesting that Brexiteers would start Tottenham-style riots if the referendum comes anywhere near a reversal.

[Nefertiti2]

it won't be a Tottenham style riots. more like gilet jaune/petrol protests. And possibly a few more Jo Cox -type murders

[Moonlight Shadow]

Lots of cowardly attacks on foreigners and anyone that 'looks like a traitor'...

That's the same score as in the indyref. That wouldn't settle it. The Scottish 45 are way better than our 45.
