Brexit - or Article 50: the Phoenix!

I think, given MP's desire to keep the ball in play, the Letwin amendment will be passed. Then PM will not call for a vote and it'll trundle on towards 31st. The PM 'may' ask for a delay and with luck the EU might refuse.

It was predictive...
 
Certainly hard to see who the winners are

Blue passport manufacturers? Political talking heads? GM if they are on some kind of deal where the advertisers pay more for more traffic to the forum? And I'm sure a few hedge funds have made a few quid betting on the depreciation of the pound. Ditch diggers?

The Police and Social Services are currently searching for a battered old can that has suffered tremendous abuse and yet another severe kicking. The search is centred around a number of road networks, all leading nowhere.

On a serious note, I'm glad that the Letwin amendment was passed. Yes the clock is ticking, and has been ticking far too long but the amendment, if its there for the right reasons, ensures that Johnson requests the extension BEFORE the deal is approved.

However, listening to a few of the politicians interviewed after the vote, some of them want the delay because its their intention to continue campaigning to overturn the original result.

My conclusion is there are many MPs who are simply afraid to make decision - any decision! They would rather keep kicking it until a decision is made for them so they can claim the 'success' of the non-involved.
 
So you think your bully the remainers into this deal ?
If we leave without a deal .. which is unlikely as the HoC will not let us and the Benn Agreement accounts for that .. the ERG and Boris will be wholly to blame.
If we remain there will be a minority of hard core leavers - but a majority of level headed people who know that the deal was never going to be great and will either work tirelessly to make sure that we are prepared to leave in the future with a strong position or we remain and influence and control the EU bodies.
Err! Are you refering. to me personally for bullying remainers into this deal. If so change the medication and stop driving.
 
As predicted.. Boris’ deal is rubbish.
You can ask for an extension but 3 years have passed and nothing of value has happened.
As stated previously “you” the voting public, failed to give May a majority in the house. it’s that simple for you lot who could not grasp the comment.
I will not be surprised if article 50 is revoked when no extension is given .. as stated previously “no deal” is not on the table the HoC will not do it no one wants to be responsible for that.
 
But do you really think that was the motive rather than kicking Brexit down the road.
I don't mind either way - as it certainly counters any 'evil' action by BoJo. The prorogation of Paliament shows, to me, that he is not trustworthy wrt using every trick in the book to get his deal through - a deal I actually hope will get through by 'normal' means!

Please explain what's 'rubbish' about it! At least, within the context of the decision by UK electorate to leave!

Twaddle! May's deal was simply a rubbish one! The 'voting public' actually had no influence over its acceptance or rejection either!

A lack of trustworthiness is an atribute worthy of a number of people in parliament. Should be renaimed to 'The House of Slithering'

If we didnt follow your meaning you probably never articulated it very well.
 
Just been looking at the photos from the march in London today. There seems to have been a lot of older white people in attendance. I thought all the old white people were thicko racists that voted leave.
 
I haven't really followed the action today, I've had a lovely day and I didn't want to spoil it. From the little I've read MPs didn't reject the deal, they have passed an amendment that says the PM has to ask for a delay and so the deal almost becomes irrelevant. Is that right? They haven't stated why a delay but they just want one.

Why not allow the vote and simply reject the deal and kill it? It seems an absolute waste of a day.

If I am wrong can anyone enlighten me as to what has happened?
