The longer things have gone on, the more the analogy of the average cat for the House of Commons seems....

@MajorRage said in Brexit:
Wonder if they are interested in helping the commons reach a consensus. Seems like the right level of ability!
An MP here in the UK once claimed paedophiles "occupied an area of the internet the size of Ireland"...... (yes, really)

Have to laugh. Dominic Rabb voted for the deal today as "there was a danger Brexit wouldn't happen" if May didn't win today's vote.
The same Dominic Rabb whose argument for voting against the deal previously was "No Brexit is better than May's deal"......

@MajorRage said in Brexit:
Rejected again. Where to from here ... ?
Parliament agrees a Customs Union or Uber-Soft Brexit with continued Freedom of Movement with or without second referendum. Cue outrage from Brexit MPs. May pitches that against her deal.
May wins. Resigns and new Tory Leader. Poss. GE.
May loses. Opts for a long extension, resigns, new Tory leader and a General Election.
Meanwhile in the real world, Steve Hansen continues his RWC 2019 preparations.

Seems to be still way more options than there should be.
- No Brexit
The European Court of Justice has ruled that it would be legal for the UK to unilaterally revoke Article 50 to cancel Brexit (without the need for agreement from the other 27 EU countries).
With the government still committed to Brexit, it's very likely that a major event such as a further referendum or change of government would have to happen before such a move.
However, any further delay to Brexit would certainly lead to questions about whether the ultimate destination was going to be a reversal of the 2016 referendum.
It's not totally clear what the process would be. But an act of Parliament calling for Article 50 to be revoked would probably be sufficient.
- No Brexit

... against the express wishes of every member of your family and friends who gives a bugger about you; which turned out to be wise advice given that the utterly untrustworthy host and his equally dodgy mates have all quietly stuck a "Kick me" sign on your back.

@Mick-Gold-Coast-QLD Nah we stuck the “kick me” sign on our own back. We just didn’t think they’d put the boot in because they’re our friends. And because they’re lazy Euros. And they need us more than we need them. And because we’re the fucking British Empire wot wot.

I have no idea what the fark that means, but you have likes. Is wanking off Sting a pretty common thing?

Sting used to drone on about seven hour orgasims with his troll like wife. Tantric sex.

Brexit - the story so far - Updated
"Prime Minister May has screwed up, we can't vote for her deal " said the MPs.
"We can sort this out - unlike that useless May. Let's vote amongst ourselves and come up with a deal we can all support" said the MPs.
"OK, we had a vote on all the options and we couldn't agree" said the MPs.
"Let's try again" said the MPs.
"We had another vote and still couldn't agree" said the MPs.
"Oh shit" said the MPs.

Michel Barnier said a long extension to the UK's current 12 April exit date carried "significant risks for the EU" and that a "strong justification would be needed" before the EU would agree
Can anyone tell me what the 'significant risk to the EU' is for granting an extension? I would have thought Britain leaving is a pretty significant risk and a no-deal even more so.

@Rembrandt Britain participates in the European parliament elections and elects a lot of super pro Brexit MEPs who cause as much disruption as possible for however long they're there. Not sure it would play out that way, but think that's what the EU are concerned about.
