"Maybe" my aunt had balls.

Should be easy enough to understand that vehicles and personnel sport the insignia they represent. Should be, but isn't always, right?

If the EU flag is stuck on a vbrg or apc or tank or plane then that vehicle represents the EU; if tomorrow the same vehicle is doing NATO work then the symbol would be changed overnight to represent that.

Unless it is photoshopped or you can provide a less implausible 'maybe' that vbrg is EU, so stop being so defensive and risk accepting certain realities.

Parliament will approve the deal.
The UK will leave the EU.

Closest combo to what makes sense, if those 'clarifications' amount to concessions, though the bitter question remains why they weren't in the original package.

Agree. May will seek clarification re legal language in the agreement. Remove meaningless language such as "best efforts" and replace with legal requirements of both parties. In the best interest of EU and UK to do so.

Theresa May won the confdence vote: 200 to 117, 63% of the vote.

That's her good for another year as PM.

Brexit is still on.

May's never had a hard one in her life.

Need a committed Brexit PM.

Anyone look down on Brexiteers? I certainly do.

You must be very tall because you don't look down on anybody intellectually. You certainly do fit nicely spit-roasted between Mr Sausage & Papillion intellectually (and probably fantasywise).

oh the irony, since when did you start accepting yourself reality?

stop putting deep meaning into some innocent details like logos and fire trucks,

the EU army doesn't exist yet, so stop the conspiracy theory paranoia, that's BB turf

That is a most solid majority - I consider it a landslide "vote of confidence". She has little to worry about (support-wise).

another day, another pony show

Theresa May survives confidence vote of Tory MPs

Prime Minister Theresa May has won a vote of confidence in her leadership of the Conservative Party by 200 to 117.

After securing 63% of the total vote, she is now immune from a leadership challenge for a year.

Speaking in Downing Street, she vowed to deliver the Brexit "people voted for" but said she had listened to the concerns of MPs who voted against her.

Her supporters urged the party to move on but critics said losing the support of a third of MPs was "devastating".

The prime minister won the confidence vote with a majority of 83, with 63% of Conservative MPs backing her and 37% voting against her.

The secret ballot was triggered by 48 of her MPs angry at her Brexit policy, which they say betrays the 2016 referendum result.

^^ What's with the repeated reference to gammon? What does it mean to you?

A gammon is typically an angry ruddy faced white male who is upset by: immigrants, NHS, socialism, The Guardian, feminists, human rights, Islam, Obama, The EU, liberals, blacks, powerful women, LGBT rights, modern light bulbs, Eastern Europeans, "Happy Holidays", no wearing a poppy, opposing Tommy Robinson, Labor voters....and many more. As you can see, they are total crybabies and utter snowflakes.

May hasn't actually won the no-confidence vote in the conventional sense - over a third of her parliamentary party want her gone and traditionally that is sufficient for most to resign. Thing is, Brexit is the only game in town and there is no other team captain available to lead, the majority vote was not in fact for May, it was more a case of saying the majority were against all other candidates.
What a way to govern, eh. Fucking mess and it will never improve given Brexit has no discernible benefit for anyone except the mentally disabled.

Yup, piss me off to no end. Newfangled contraptions. Last just too damn long. People don't realize, or seem to care, just how many light bulb changers are on the unemployment line these days.

fuck that LED shit, I want real light bulbs

I have overstocked them since 2012,

If that is devastating then what is losing 48% of the peoples vote? A disaster or a catastrophe?

So you stand to benefit from Brexit yet continue to rant against it.
