Thread: Brexit - It's Still On!

Lights out Bobby

No tuck shop privileges tomorrow for you

Are we leaving on April 12 ? Of course we are not. Accept it we ain't leaving it's a hotel California x 100000.

The Miller case meant Parliament had to have a vote to stop Doris just leaving with her clusterfuk deal and thank fuk Miller did that as otherwise we would be screwed. But also Miller case we would then leave with no deal if one wasn't agreed hence the extension and the one now as its enshrined in law thanks to Miller that no deal is agreed then we should have left on March 29 with no deal. But we didn't hence the stitch up continues.

Bob is just wondering where his next double Jameson's is coming from...hic

FFS you moron, it’s the same thing. I paraphrased as I was walking down the street while replying to you on my phone. Just how thick are you?

The executive doesn’t have that discretion. You have watched too many episodes of the West Wing. This is not America!

Why don't you just answer him instead of being a dick? You probably think you look clever but when you refuse to answer a reasonable question you just look like a cnt.

Some newspapers have reported that "sources" say France, Belgium, and Spain will veto a lengthy extension. This seems unlikely to me as such an action by a small group of countries would be a major breach of EU protocol. Sample here, https://www.google.com/amp/s/metro.c...y-8956976/amp/


However, as Troy rightly intimated, the Netherlands is not one of those countries. The average Brexiter probably doesn't know the difference between Belgium and the Netherlands anyway.

See, Switch, that's all it takes.

Of course it’s perfectly acceptable for the master to expect facts to be accepted on his word, but not for anyone else.

I am simply copying Troys policy of keep up idleness.

My facts are just as valid as yours, and there are plenty of reports about French and Dutch reactions to Mays request.
Its not my job to educate you. Stop being pompous and expecting others to do your research for you.
Even the Germans are pissed off with May now.

The Dutch PM is under pressure. Brexit, Terrorism, Populism and lost economic opportunities.

It is blindingly obvious that most brexiters lack knowledge of what the EU is, how it works, and what the consequences are of either leaving or remaining. Knowledge is the result of learning while intelligence allows us to use that knowledge. Intelligence also enables us to change our minds when we acquire new knowledge. It is no coincidence that those who believe knowledge and expertise are unimportant generally lack both.

Frankly the opinion of people on a subject in which they lack all knowledge is worthless, hence the comtempt felt by so many for Brexiters who not only display a lack of knowledge on subjects they pontificate on but also display an almost uncanny inability to acquire new knowledge, process it, and modify their opinion based on new information. Of course that doesn't necessarily mean they lack knowledge or intelligence in other areas, it means they are relying on faith and belief rather than knowledge in their approach to Brexit and in that sense their beliefs are more religious than political and consequently almost unshakeable.

Yes, intelligence and knowledge are not the same thing but they do go hand in hand. Intelligence without knowledge is as useless as an engine without fuel. After all, chimps and dogs are intelligent but we don't value their thoughts and opinions.

There goes our sermon for the day.

Brexiters may be intelligent though they're clueless, while Brit haters and Europhiles are both knowledgeable and intelligent, and awesome and superior, though they need to prove their points with a deluge of insults that cover for fictional facts. Is that about right, Doc?

There ya go, squirrel, fufu, assguy and Belgian, without the likes of you we would soon die off, courtesy of your comrade the deluded doc's latest outpouring.

I hope that is honest enough for you.

The veto is pretty much the nuclear option in the EU and is rarely used. I think May will get her year-long extension in the end, these rolling extensions are just pissing everyone off. It's only the raving arseholes of the extreme Brexit faction that want to see the UK go down the shitter. The EU doesn't, even the ERG doesn't now they're faced with the reality. I think a lengthy extension is a given, it just remains to see what the conditions are.

Docs and typewriters...I agree, but only in part Doc so don't go steaming off as though it's a carte blanche, though I've no doubt that's furthest from your mind!

A lengthy extension probably, and this effective translates to no Brexit at all except in name. And ftr the ERG accepted the surrender Treaty as the least worst of terrible options, through you forgot to qualify that bit preferring to simply 'state the facts'.

Countries are not businesses and this stupid, ignorant, and evil idea that they are has caused untold suffering.

What colour soap box, Doc?

Doesn't matter how long revocation would take though likely days over weeks despite what our resident expert says; and if she leans in that direction the gods will bend over for her, as will the legislature.

I agree, we do have mental dregs here, and I put it down at least in part to being on TD for 13 years.

Luigi's a fun guy, wouldn't be caught dead associating with you.

Revoking and immediately retriggering A50 would not repeal any legislation, it would merely delay leaving, hence could be done without new legislation, presumably as a discretionary act by the executive. So tell me again, how is the Miller case a precident for this?

Don't be hard on him, he saw the Miller case somewhere, decided hey that'll show I'm smart and that's why he brought it to our attention. Since you challenged him he huffed off for a proper read, and only then once on solid ground starts to turn fiction into fact.

Fire away Doc, real smart people understand that others can also read.
