Brexit - The Final

[LeoRoverman]

I see Johnson is tempting contempt of court.

we'll see, not that there isn't enough contempt to go around

 

[LeoRoverman]

Good luck to the PM who trashed the Union.

Oh that was deffo Blair with devolution

 

[Lance_corp_more_rant]

Note the side road. That's the Government incoming to take over the blockage.

 

[LeoRoverman]

No trade deals whilst you folks still figure out what to do. But your fellow EU members will be able to bail you out!

Jonesy- has trade stopped over the last 3 years? Well has it?

 

[LeoRoverman]

He's there to explain how the land border with Norway works.

in a nutsell that works the way all borders with the EU work- Face the wall my darling as the smugglers ride by

 

[LeoRoverman]

I would imagine not at the moment, but if the EU's coffers were opened it might well be a different story.

Either that or Luxembourg loses out. Mind what's a more desirable place to live Dublin or Monaco. Tough call that

 

[Skylog]

So Johnson was lying when he said he would not ask for an extension. The signing trick is ridiculous, the letter counts as the UK request for an extension. So the EU is authorised to grant an extension if they want, which wouldn't be possible without the letters sent by Johnson.

If it had been 52/48 Remain, I'm pretty sure the Brexiteers would not have gone quietly into the dark EU night. That was the mandate upon which they went to the hustings each General Election and they would have continued to do so, especially given a result that close.

Do you have one shred of evidence to support this idea. Were UKIP MPs getting elected. You're just describing your remoaner behaviour and claiming that your opponents are the same because that avoids you having to accept that your behaviour is not really that mature. Yes you are behaving just like the SNP who also can't accept that their idea isn't popular.

Not really, he’s merely asked what Parliament demanded but added his own rider. Now let’s see the fur fly

Read his letter. he makes it clear that he is not asking for extension, but has been compelled to send a letter by fcukwits of MP's backed up by the Court.

His letter complies with both the Benn Act and the Courts ruling.

Nowhere did the Benn Act or the Court specify, or even mention that he could not send a 2nd letter, detailing why an extension should not be granted.

The ball is now firmly in the EU's court. If they are happy with the deal that Johnson and the EU agreed, and wish Brexit to happen on 31 Oct, all they need to do is deny an extension.

Job done. Vote for the Johnson deal on Monday or Tuesday, or leave the EU on 31 Oct with no deal.

For all the barricades that have been placed in Johnson's way, it appears that he is on track to deliver what he said he would deliver.

The EU are happy with the revised WA. It has been accepted unanimously by the Heads of Government of all 27MS. The ball is firmly back in MP's court. They could, of course, go for a revocation of A50, but the ensuing General Election would be a massacre for the Labour Party. Even Corbyn isn't dumb enough to wish for that.

Have to disagree.

The ball is firmly in the EU's court. Allow or deny an extension.

As long as the EU keep issuing extensions, the ball will never be in the MP's court. They will continue to frustrate, go running to Court and do everything they possibly can to deny Brexit happening.

Take responsibility

Your having a laugh mate. To take responsibility would mean revoking A50 or calling a GE.

Neither is going to happen.

The unanimity of the EU rather suggests that endless extensions will not be granted. In any case, the absolute cut off for them is 30/06/20. I am reliably informed that Macron exploded with rage yesterday and that a couple of antiques are in need of some restoration.*

Not me mucker -

Snip

. Though plenty of people who didn't grow up in a normal household also manage to live productive lives, without blaming their problems on others - oddly enough, those who don't wallow in self-pity tend to have superior genetics.

Errrrr.... you do realise how that reads?

 

[swissian]

Erm, nice bit of twisting considering it was all anti brexit protesters outside.

Nice bit of missing the point; wasn’t only Leave MPs being harassed...

What a twat. Well written letter that says effectively let us leave without a deal. Hopefully, it'll be treated with the disdain it deserves and we roll on to a General Election where this issue can be put to bed.

I believe Macron has himself suffered at the hands of EU intransigence and his veto of Albania and Northern Macedonia EU membership talks was a manifestation of his anger at the EU.

Macron is on a mission to reform the EU, not in the same manner that the UK would like to see the EU being reformed, he may well think to himself that he can achieve that easier with the UK out of the picture.

We will find out over the next couple of days

It wasn't and it needs to be stopped. I have an awful feeling though that we haven't seen the last murder of an MP.

Labour are not going to be able to resist a GE for much longer.
