Often with such complicated issues it is good to break them down into a more understandable format. So here we have Brexit - the omelette problem.
LEAVER: I want an omelette.
REMAINER: Right. It’s just we haven’t got any eggs.
SnIp
Is that supposed to funny, informing, accurate or even mildy amusing? Because it fails on all fronts.
11 likes v one dissenting opinion... I'm guessing the majority think it's at least one of those things.
It's a really shit analogy though. Basically it's implying that the Brexit is about getting back an expedible resource it gave up in 1973. And what was that about icing being good? A monolithic and undemocratic bureaucracy is good? It might be amusing or clever, but it is a farking retarded analogy.
A better analogy would be a complex business partnership.

It isnt clever. I am wondering if people actually found it funny.

@rembrandt what a debacle. I really don’t know how they extract themselves from this economic situation. With the pound down to almost EUR 1.1 there should have been a reasonable uptick in exports of goods and services but they’re both down year on year. You’d expect to see manufacturers reconfiguring to take advantage of the higher returns from overseas trading partners but they’re not, because they don’t know what future trading arrangements will be. This one will be bad I think.

@rembrandt
That’s pretty convincing. If this doesn’t bring us all together what will? -
It’s an interesting one, because from the comments of the different actors on the beeb this morning, I don’t see how a deal can be done.
In that case, I assume that May will be forced to push for a no deal Brexit, given her comments that Brexit should happen.
Anyone picking her to lose the no-confidence vote?
I’m not - I think these assholes like sniping from the sidelines safe in the knowledge they won’t wear it.

This in spades.
Chinless wonders will cost the Tories their rule.

This bit shows what a fucking piss poor mess this is
The prime minister said the vote had not revealed what kind of deal MPs would be willing to support so if she won the vote of no confidence she would open talks with the DUP and “senior parliamentarians from across the house to identify what will be required to secure support”
So, no matter what you think of BREXIT, don't you think it would have been a good idea to find out what the parliament would support BEFORE spending (a now wasted) couple of years negotiating with the EU? I'm sure they can knock something up in the remaining 73 days that'll make everyone happy! FFS couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery

And May's Government survives the no confidence vote. So this leaves us with a Prime Minister and a Government that never wanted to leave, that have had their plan for leaving trashed and no real plan B option, trying to cobble together some form of plan in the next two and a bit months. May has been shafted by her own party over the Brexit plan but yet again they have backed her because no-one else wants to try and handle this clusterfuck.

@Catogrande combined with people prepared to do anything to avoid a Corbyn govt.
Watched the house pre the vote. Labour deputy wanked on for ages and made s few points then Gove came up and annhilated Corbyn. Made for good watching
