    What misery? She's a sociopath deceiving a nation, giving insider trading secrets to enrich her husband her, whilst at the same time keeping the UK in the EU, and on path to the Euro. People make the mistake of thinking these pro politicians care about the people of the country. They do not. She's loving it.

    ^Yes, I meant to warn him about that. Sarcasm doesn’t work on this thread. Goes over the heads of massive intellects like buttfly and Troy.

    Anyway, it seems I could be wrong about May’s deal going through. Not enough support from her own MPs and no shifting the DUP on that phantom Irish border issue.

    So it’s down to 3 options. Managed, mitigated or freefall Brexit. No need for silliness about a second referendum now. I haven’t read anything about May’s intention to delay the vote even further. It just tastes like desperation on her part anyway.

    And now, over to the remain “experts”.

    The Commons, as it stands, has a majority that will not permit a no-deal Brexit unless there is a specific mandate to do so which can only be obtained by holding a referendum. The problem here is that the Tory filth and Corbyn commies do not want the public to have an option on the ballot sheet that gives them the choice to remain in the EU. Even if the vote was limited to a choice between a crash out or a managed deal as prescribed by May, it is difficult to see how it could have any legitimacy given that over half of the electorate are fucking idiots. A further difficulty is that if the public want a managed exit then it would simply strengthen the EU's hand in maintaining their current reasonable position of protecting rights of EU citizens and Ireland, and stopping the Tory cvunts from getting any cherries.
    Really, there are no choices other than May's deal or a crash out which will pretty much fuck Britain up for the next decade.

    I hope they take the second option - the English have had it coming to them for the past two years because of their arrogant cuntishness and now they are going to get royally fucked in the ass. The Union will break up, the £ will be less than a Euro and on par with the US$, and industrial relations will again resemble a battlefield with the socialists winning.

    Quite interesting times.

    Bar revoking or extending article 50, all 27 EU countries would have to agree to an extension should one be asked for we leave the EU on the 29 March as has been legislated by Parliament. Mays deal gets rejected and no extension of article 50 we leave with a clean Brexit whether or not there is a majority for it. Doris knows this and it's slowly sinking in to the heads of the rest of Parliament hence Doris confidence that her deal will still go through.

    ^ First deal EU Federalist MAy made was assurance that we can remain in the EU, but it is on the EUs terms conditions and price. That is the Euro. First deal she made.

    SA - What the pro fascist EU remainers who are behind all of this (including your best mate Theresa May and Tony Blair) have forgotten is the type of people who vote Leave. Trade unionists, true leftists, and then the hard right nutbags. Denied of their democratic voice once again there will be blood shed and the country will be brought to a standstill. These clueless centrist blair noshing dickheads in London thinking that the people who voted Leave will accept being shanghaied into remaining? Really? They are in for a world of hurt which will probably see the EU sending in Polish police to quelle the dissent because most cops in the UK are LEAVE. Scotland, having left the union, will be utterly raped by the EU with all thoughts of their cushy welfare state rudely interrupted when they are told to make savage cuts and sell of the silverware at a discount. Wales will be a desolate pauper begging the EU for scraps who will laugh and chuck them as much debt as they can stuff down their throats. Ireland will be in the troubles again as the northern drug dealers start flexing their muscles again and the Rich will get richer.

    Quite interesting times indeed. Tories have played a blinder. Deeper in the EU as is their desire, more draconian laws to crush dissent and a country at war whilst they make like bandits raping the country further whilst the 24 hr news is on the daily protests and riots. Wonder how quickly pensions will be stopped for people outside the country? An easy grab that one.

    You tell me who is going to build the border then I might start to believe it isn't an EU fabrication. Stupid Irish as I said all along they overplayed their hand and ended up Brussels bitch and rather than Brussels helping them they are going to screw them. Lovely isn't it when the democratic EU gets to set your tax rates and screw your economy. Ireland may even be next to follow us out if we get a clean Brexit.

    Brexit: Universities warn no deal is 'biggest-ever threat'
    https://www.bbc.com/news/education-46748512

    University heads are warning a no-deal Brexit is "one of the biggest threats" the institutions have ever faced.

    Higher education leaders have written to MPs to say it is "no exaggeration" to warn that it would take universities "decades to recover".

    They say it would undermine scientific research and threaten universities' £21bn contribution to the UK economy.

    The government has said its immigration plans will keep universities "open to the talent we need from Europe".

    A joint letter sent to all MPs on behalf of the heads of 150 UK universities says: "Vital research links will be compromised, from new cancer treatments to technologies combating climate change.

    "The valuable exchange of students, staff and knowledge would be seriously damaged," adds the letter from university groups including Universities UK, the Russell Group, Guild HE, Million Plus and University Alliance.

    if hard Brexit does happen and the UK descend into cahos, we could expect the following:

    1. Scotland independence, good luck defending that one after the Brexit rhetoric
    2. Ireland Unification
    3. GBP losing its world currency reference

    Police ask for more resources ahead of Brexit
    BBC News NI Home Affairs CorrespondentPolice in Northern Ireland are to ask the government to fund the recruitment of up to 400 additional officers for operations along the border after Brexit.

    Chief Constable George Hamilton confirmed that a business case is currently being drawn up. The Police Service of Northern Ireland is also asking for new vehicles and other equipment. The Police Federation has asked the government to agree to the request.


    BBC News NI understands the police force have also delayed plans to sell disused stations in Aughnacloy and Castlederg as they may have a future customs or security role.


    The call for additional resources is backed by the association that represents rank and file PSNI officers. Speaking to BBC News NI Mr Hamilton said the proposal was to ensure the force is "match fit" and ready for the post Brexit era. He said the additional officers were needed to help the police support other government agencies.


    There are more than 250 crossings along the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. The UK and EU have both said they do not wish to see a hard border after Brexit, but they have not been able to agree on how to avoid checks on goods once the UK has left the customs union and single market.


    If there is no Brexit deal it is likely customs officials will have to carry out the checks and it will be the job of the police to protect them. In the Republic of Ireland, the Garda (Irish Police) Representatives Association has called for additional Armed Support Units (ASUs) along the border and access to automatic weapons at border stations. The association represents the interests of rank and file officers, and its Donegal spokesman, Garda Brendan O'Connor said criminals viewed unarmed officers as "ill-equipped" and "weak".

    "Our members are extremely vulnerable on the border without proper backup", Mr O'Connor told the Irish Times. "If we have an incident now, what do we have? A couple of detectives with a side arm for personal protection and no tactical training. It's just simply not up to the threat and the danger that's there."


    The paper said Uzi sub-machine guns were issued to detective units until 2012, when they were withdrawn by management.

    Pretty sure the FT ran an article on the border issue back in February. You can ignore it, pretend it's an EU fabrication, but it won't go away that easy.

    Another fine mess Brexit has got us into...

    Because it self evidently is. The Micks and the English don’t feel the need for a hard border. The issue was invented by the EU to complicate and or confound Brexit.
    You’re becoming a bit of a numpty on this one.

    I agree it is a massive crock, which is one of the reasons I said it might get pushed through by May’s reluctance to be open and honest about her reasons for pursuing it. That plus trying to scare cabinet and MPs into supporting her for fear of no deal.
    Clearly, I was wrong, because it’s not working out in her favour at all.

    What a waste of a good skin you are. Yet more poisonous bullshit and another anti UK tirade. We’re your former employers aware of your traitorous inclination while you were working for the government?

    Id be interested in what they did to you, to make you so full of bile and vitriol, you pathetic sad little worm.

    Im happy to accept the hand that fate has dealt the UK whatever the outcome. It’s obvious you prize only one result.
    Keep spreading sugar on the turd that your life is. It remains a bilious turd, just like you.

    They have nothing to fear. With a queue of non EU overseas student paying inflated prices for tuition, they stand to make a fortune from losing cheapskate Eu kids.
    May ramping up the fear again. She really is desperate now.
