    Facebook has been accused of "pumping out fake news" after running political adverts claiming endangered animals were being threatened - by Brexit.




    The social media giant has been paid hundreds of thousands of pounds by Britain’s two most prominent Remain campaign groups to stir up support for a second referendum.

    Latest figures released by the Facebook show the two organisations - People’s Vote UK and Best for Britain - spent £373,587 on Facebook ads in the run up to the parliamentary vote on Theresa May’s defeated Brexit deal.

    By contrast, Leave-supporting groups spent a little over £93,000, according to an analysis by the Telegraph of political income disclosed by Facebook.

    The continuing machinations of remainers seem to be foiled at every turn. Leadsom has arranged house business to preclude any opportunity for Bercow to allow amendments. Grieves has failed with his draft and May has played a blinder by putting the ball back in the EU court.

    Knowing that parliament has already rejected the EU deal, she has taken the same deal back to them. Doesn’t really matter what they do now. Hard Brexit has become a certainty and she was right all along. Brexit means Brexit. Bwahahahaha

    Someone get me a hammer and chisel, this is one tough fooking nutter...

    If the UK could have left the EU without any severe consequences, then it would have happened immediately.

    Fundamentally, the government is in the strongest position to control the house, as we are seeing.

    We're leaving on the 29th, if the EU wants to put some mutually supportive plans in place then maybe we'll give them some money - we are exactly were we want to be. Happy Days.

    Try not to gloat Betty. Not a very British trait. Leave that low class behaviour to the likes of buttfly.

    Happy Days.
    That's all great and all, but the UK parliament will never accept a hard Brexit on March 29th

    They already have, they voted for it with a big majority we leave on March 29 with no deal if one hasn't been agreed. It's enshrined in law.

    Not necessarily, the eu could delay the exit under certain circumstance, for eg ref2 scenario, that too is enshrined in law.

    Obviously this is what explains Doris care free attitude as in she still thinks she will get her clusterfuk deal through as parliament won't want to leave with no deal. Who knows how it's going to end up. Anyway we will see what shit she presents to Parliament on Monday.

    Just had to do an emergency run to the hospital. Where was I? Oh yes Betty either can't comprehend French or only scan reads...or possibly never gets past the first line of an article.

    Yes EU countries have thought about the UK leaving with or without a deal. They can plan for both because the effects will not be quite as catastrophic for each individual country as it will be for the UK. Project reality, not project fear, but Parliament won't let it happen. Sill Tory tricks can only take up so much time before they are forced to be abandoned. The 230 vote defeat makes the May government a laughing stock, a humiliation of the worst kind and she still hasn't worked it out. The EU don't care if you threaten no-deal as it is the UK committing suicide not them

    absolutely, it's going to be her deal (she is trying to make History here) or A50 extension for the next 100 years

    basically remains,

    come on guys, show us your true determination, get out in the streets, wear a yellow vest and make a political statement or a fashion statement (they were designed by Karl Lagerfield) or whatever you feel like, as long as you show you exist as Brexiters

    1. Leadsom has arranged parliamentary time to avoid Bercow and friends from usurping the authority of Parliament.

    2. May has taken the rejected deal back to the EU and left them to fester on it, knowing, not only will they reject it, they will press ahead with no deal plans, because no deal remains the ONLY default position.

    3. The EU cannot change that position, and neither can the duplicitous remainers.

    4. Butters will carry on ignoring all voices except his own. He will add to the egg all over his face from previous failures, but still make self proclaimed victory noises.

    Bwahahahaha

    Indeed. The Germans are supplying the yellow jackets and if you get one before March 29th, it'll be tariff free.
