IF the EU maintain their stance that the deal negotiation is over and closed
Big IF.
What do you think would make them change their stance? Genuine question as I can't see what anyone else would bring to the table that would make any great difference.

For what its worth. Recent Westminster intention poll showing Brexit just 1 point behind Labour.
Although pretty damning for the Tories, it is only the Euro elections. Expectations of a protest vote, especially in the current balls up are high. How this would translate to e General election is probably quite different. The Euro backlash vote would likely see the Tories lose out to Labour or the LibDems and the same for Labour. It's rarely in GEs that the fringe parties have anything other than a swing effect to one of the two main parties.

@Catogrande Dunno mate, some leadership that moves forwards will be a welcome thing.
I hope like hell it's not Johnson, but it's a possibility.
I think either that Nebbish Hammond or an out and out Brexiteer. Either way they will have to deal with the EU that don't want us to go and the Commons that don't want us to go.
Continuing shit storm for the time being I feel.

Back to Politics ... she's gone.
Resigned effective 7th June
In some way it was a shame it wasn't just the few days earlier and the headline could have read "The end of May before the end of May".
Who is going to pick up the ball and run with it now though? A Brexiteer PM would seem to be the more likely but will he/she be able to sway the Commons to accept their option? Will it be any other option than "No deal"?
I think we're just that little bit further up shit creek sans paddle.
@MiketheSnow It would be better if the guy had released the CCTV footage.
Damn that came out as frottage at first.

Well, if America wasn't the most fucked up place in the world before, it is now.
Be a dirty douche bag your entire life ... pay 44m .. solved.
Surprised?
Me neither.

I would stoked if they made a miniseries of the German version. This one looks decent though.
You guys may be thinking of the Forgotten Soldier? Brilliant book about half Frenchie on the Eastern Front. That Dutch director who made Total Recall (veerhoven?) was talking about making a film about that, but it was years ago. The Finnish theatre of war was pretty amazing. The Winter War is a good film and I'd love to see this latest one. The stuff the Finns did in WW2 was absolutely incredible. Tough as fecking nails.
That’s the one. There’s some doubt about if all true or not, cracking read though.
The Finns in the continuation war did amazing things , gets a bit complicated with the Nazi involvement though
Yeah, always feel a bit sorry for the Fins. They really had no option but to align themselves with the Nazis even though they weren't really "on their side".
Yep. My enemies' enemy must be my friend sort of thing. There is a story that at the end of the hostilities when the new frontier was drawn between Finland and the USSR, as the agreed line was being drawn on the map, Stalin put his finger in the way and the guy had to draw round it ceding a large part of Karelia to the USSR.
Just re-watched Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy with Gary Oldman (warning, don't google him and find out you missed the R), channelling his inner Alec Guinness. Based on a really good book and it confirmed my view that it was a solid adaptation; however a feature length film is not really long enough to do the story justice. So, worth a watch but if you want a better experience, dig out the old TV series.

Damn nazis infiltrating the well spoken older women demographic now!
To be fair, historically well spoken women with Nazi sympathies are not exactly unknown
to the UKin the Royal Family.
Sorry to be pedantic, but I'm sure this is what you actually meant.

Just had a look at their twitter feed and it’s a beer company run by virtue signalling neck beards for npcs , hipsters and cucks.
So basically like every other craft beer then .
This. Just this.
We can all rant on about the decline of the UK, the march of the Alt-Right, the poison that is Antifa, the shit media, the political arrogance and corruption and all the while the creeping cancer that is craft beer creeps under the radar.
Wake up sheeple the threat is real. One day we all wonder where beer that tasted of beer actually went to whilst we sit in misery drinking our pints of honey scented, citrus notes "beer'.
We are f*cked.
These people are currently running a polling on customers favourite beer flavour and the two contenders are , wait for it
Orange sherbet sour and mango sour
Words fucking fail me .
It’s beer ffs , if you want that kind of flavour in your alcohol get it in a fucking cocktail glass with an umbrella in it .Jesus Christ , first they came for the craft beer makers and I did nothing .
Because fuck craft beer makers .
And then we all went out to the pub or a party or a barbecue and had a great time and never ever had to worry about being lectured by some hipster piston wristed gibbon about some overpriced foul tasting garbage that was apparently winning awards .
What would get your vote?
Apart from euthanasia for the retarded brewers that is.
