    DUP are the only hope of saving Brexit but as we know a bit of cash will buy their votes and with them meeting Doris and Hammond over the weekend looks like they will cave in to.

    To think that the future of the UK is in the hands of a bunch of Paddy terrorists. Is this taking back control? Land of hope and Glory indeed.

    Sadly that's what it has come down to. Even me as a hard core Brexiteer would rather we remain that see Doris deal get voted through.

    Fill in the details pls, I for one missed the bit where Obama put a gun to Sarkozy's head and told him we're about to liberate Libya with democracy. As for Syria, I don't recall too many European leaders limping around with busted knee caps.

    Brexit: No new vote on May's deal without DUP support - chancellor
    https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-47602746

    Theresa May's Brexit deal will not return to the Commons this week unless it has support from the DUP and Tory MPs, the chancellor says.

    The PM's plan is expected to be voted on for a third time in the coming days.

    But Philip Hammond told the BBC's Andrew Marr that it would only be put to MPs if "enough of our colleagues and the DUP are prepared to support it".

    He did not rule out a financial settlement for Northern Ireland if the DUP backed the deal.

    The party, which has 10 MPs in the Commons, negotiated £1bn in spending for Northern Ireland as part of a confidence and supply agreement with the Tories - giving the government a working majority.

    Mr Hammond said they did not have the numbers "yet" to secure Mrs May's deal, adding: "It is a work in progress".

    But he warned that, even with the DUP's support, a "short extension" would be needed to pass legislation in Parliament, adding that it was now "physically impossible" for the UK to leave the EU on 29 March.

    So basically if there is a vote next week then Doris deal is basically guaranteed to get through as won't hold it otherwise. UK is doomed if votes through Doris deal.

    If Mogg and co wanted to utterly humiliate Maybot, they could agree beforehand then vote other way on the night, ...like the last vote when the whips were defied.

    Iow she will lift her skirt if it helps to sabotage Brexit. This woman has secured her position at the EU trough, never mind what it costs the country, and her party.

    This is truly developing into the best illustration of why Britain will never again be permitted another referendum, except, ironically, one that undoes the plebiscite of 2016.

    The British people are clearly divided into two camps, the profoundly stupid and incoherent, ill-informed lumpen mass wreathed in petty prejudice and blimpish jingoism, and we decent intelligent chaps who sensibly chose to remain.

    The only certainty to emerge from this farrago of ineptitude is the utter humiliation of the Tory party as its rabble of a government yet again girds its diminutive loins to have another go at flogging the dead horse of a knackered deal through parliament, this time facilitated by inserting huge wads of moolah up the DUP's arse.

    This is great fun, though, and at last I can derive some satisfaction from the unfolding events. The £ is somewhat restored by the recent victories of the House against the ERG but if May does get her deal through by dint of bribery then it will be back to 44 - 46 baht in a week. On the other hand, if she fails and her ragbag government splinters further into parliamentary chaos it means the Tory party will tear more of its own guts out and a GE ushering a new coalition government is certain.

    Britain is heading down the sewer of almost Italian proportions but if it is flushed away it will mean the end of the DUP as a majority force in NI politics, the rural Protestant farm owning class will never forgive them for what will almost certainly mean their inevitable destruction.

    Chaos or the sullen silence of acceptance with a resurgent £? The denouement is near.

    ...chaos is more entertaining, of course...May is worthy of a sheer doggedness award for her persistent efforts against Eurocrats, Torycrats, Corbocrats...and, I suspect, her own better judgement...amazing that Brits find themselves in a stew that is second only to the nonsense in Washington...

    The worldwide referendum on globalization took place two years ago. It was roundly rejected. What we're witnessing now is the astonished and incredulous butthurt losers trying to make sense of their shattered world. The rest of the world, too, has been backing off the stupid idea ever since.

    Nationalism is alive and well -- and despite what the shrieking lefties insist -- not unhealthy at all.

    Grow up and deal with it like adults.

    What a complete and utter mess your life must be,for you to repeat you nonsensical diatribe yet again.

    To describe your fellow citizens as, profoundly stupid, incoherent, ill informed, prejudiced and jingoistic, is a hugely flawed generalization, that could equally be directed at the remain camp.

    The majority are not concerned with your fixation on money, or the Irish border. They simply wish to leave an incompetent, undemocratic republican federation, that wants to do their thinking for them. This is not stupid people shouting at clouds, it is the sentient members of society demanding change to the institution by which they are governed.
    The unintended consequence of discovering that those you elected are weak kneed nincompoops, is just a bonus. We can have a yard sale and a bonfire afterwards.

    The core problem is similar to the US phenomenon, the majority of the electorate are stupid.

    For Britain, however, the problem has been compounded by the default appointment of a sclerotic autistic geriatric as leader of the Tory party whose political nous, including acumen, is on par with a lobotomised donkey. The woman made the terribly stupid mistake in thinking that the referendum gave her administrative power to ram anything through that she wished, in much the same way she ran the Home Office for six long and very dark years.

    The woman is a desiccated, obdurate husk devoid of any style, panache or talent but she would have made an exceptional gauleiter in one of the nazi eastern provinces under Himmler.

    Don't be such a silly flatulent arse. The majority couldn't fucking spell Strasbourg, never mind tell you where it fucking might be. And this sovereignty malarkey is just so much bollocks - name me five instances when a British PM and the government was overruled in any significant decision that adversely affected the population. In all 45 years, the British voted against the EU parliament on just 2% of divisions.

    Your stinking, loathsome Brexit is nothing more than a manifestation of the English prejudice against foreigners and coons.

    You bombastic, fatuous and overblown frazzled twat.

    No mention of sovereignty in my post. The EU parliament is a sham. They only vote on issues directed by the commission.

    The British, (not English), are one of the most secular and welcoming countries in the world, otherwise we would all be called something stupid, like Boon Mee, Texpat or Seekingasylum.

    Apart from the insults, it seems you’ve just been wasting words again.

    Christ, are you that stupid you don't even know the generic term for the issues you have so stupidly raised in your cliche-ridden, hackneyed diatribe? Its S-O-V-E-R-E-I-G-N-T-Y, you gormless buffoon, but even David Davis has since dispensed with it as a raison d'être for quitting the EU, not least because it is all bollocks and always was. Any state can derogate on matters of national interest. As far as I know, the only wankers stupid enough to keep piddling on about sovereignty are the loony ERG munters but we all know when they use it it is just a euphemism for calling foreigners nignogs, spics and wogs, etc.

    You are conflating your post with an expression I have not used or referred to.
    We, The UK, benefit from being a constitutional monarchy Being in or out of the EU has no bearing on our sovereign. You may use the word as a generic term, but I would not insult the monarchy by investing the word sovereign with matters which might soil Her Majesty’s reputation.

    In other words old boy, get stuffed. You are the wanker piddling on about sovereignty, not me.
