    I can see a compromise coming next week to ensure an orderly brexit. It won't be coming from the EU since they have no need to change their position. Instead, Labour and Tories will agree the backstop is necessary and the UK will stay in the Customs Union until an FTA is completed.

    It will mean the UK will effectively be in the EU for a few more years.

    No-deal is simply too big a risk to let happen.

    I do need to consult the Oracle on this.

    So, how many is a 'few' years? No need to be precise, just have a stab: Is it 3, 7, 15, 27, 40, 78?

    Oh, I think we can discount all your guesses for a start. If May compromises and agrees to stay in Customs Union until FTA is agreed and this means freedom of movement, then it will be more than 2years and probably 4 or 5.

    gee, I must have not been following, because you never posted your opinions on Brexit

    and never projected silly speculative scenarios about Brexit

    don't make any speculation or assumptions about Maybot plan, she is chickenhead running around randomly in a caged backyard looking for a big open exit

    I am starting to suspect she is playing dumb to force her deal on the eve of the deadline with a last minute vote

    dangerous game, but again your MPs are cowards and whimps, so it might actually work

    that just sounds too reasonable, so not going to happen with Maybot

    5 years? more like 20 years to get out, possibly never

    I admire your confidence in treating your wild hopes/guesses/expectations as fact, and am moving to the conclusion that the best thing we could do is place the future of the UK in your capable hands.

    But just to clarify: As it stands, May is boxed in by gods insisting there will be no further negotiations. And you suggest it is she that should 'compromise' by accepting the same deal she has already accepted and historically failed to pass through Parliament, pending a hopeful FTA; not a guaranteed FTA, because in my world wishful thoughts don't create facts, so read that as a hopeful FTA.

    Yet you fail to explain why, under what circumstances or in which dimension, having us precisely where they want us, paying billions to remain legally trapped in an indefinite CU with no FTA, and with the right to keep us there for the rest of this century, the EU would after 2 or 'probably 4 or 5 years' get fed up of taking our money and release us, oh and with a FTA, as reward for our generous contributions to their great cause.

    Was that your best guess, hope, expectation or fantasy?

    Brexit: May to make plea to MPs for time to change deal
    https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-47187491

    Prime Minister Theresa May will ask MPs to give her more time to secure changes to the controversial part of her Brexit deal - the Northern Irish backstop.

    Mrs May is due to report back to MPs this week, after trying to persuade the EU to make last-minute changes.

    According to the BBC's Iain Watson, the PM will promise Parliament another vote on other Brexit options if a deal is still not ready by the end of February.

    Labour wants to hold Mrs May to her word and make sure the vote is held.

    The shadow Brexit secretary, Sir Keir Starmer, has said Labour has drafted an amendment which, if passed this week, would guarantee a vote by the end of the month.

    He accused the prime minister of "running down the clock" so that Parliament will only have a choice between her Brexit deal, and a no-deal exit.

    The British parliament consists of many MP's who believe that you can leave a club, stop pay membership fee, but still get he club's privileges.
    They are delusional and even more so by believing that a better deal can be gotten.

    This an internal British problem and not something to compromise with EU about, the deal is done. Take it or leave it.

    What's your point in context to my post, asking why it should be May that compromises by accepting a deal she has already accepted?

    The English are acting like spoiled chavs in hollidays

    check in a 5 star hotel with member lounge privileges, use the facilities, and then try to re-negotiate the price of the room when they checkout and access to the member lounge privileges even though they are no longer an hotel guest

    delusional doesn't have begin to describe what they want, they are fucking crazy, and we should call security to vacate them from the premises

    It's a common affliction amongst Brexiteers.

    It reminds me of the time the Nigel Farage party posted a flyer through the letterbox of a primary school teacher, who corrected the mistakes in red pen and returned it to them...the irony being they are always complaining about immigrants who don't take the time to learn proper English.

    Meanwhile in other news: https://www.politico.eu/article/uk-n...s-rights-deal/

    Its amazing what can be achieved when you by pass EU Institutions.

    Reciprocal citizens rights also agreed with Germany, Austria, France, Italy and Portugal.

    Its an interesting read for anyone except papillon, who clearly can’t read anyway.

    The electorate already made that decision thank you. We will leave it, if it’s all the same to you.

    And you believe these reciprocal assurances won't happen between the EU and the foggy isles?

    Is it really possible to "achieve" the current status?

    I think you have to gain something new to use the word "achieve" ?

    I realise that it’s sunday, and you’re bored, but probably best for all concerned if you put that bottle of Korn down now.

    Its quite refreshing for me to add you to the fubar and butters list of scroll past post posts, in the certain knowledge that you are all metaphorically drunk on your own arrogance.
    Pity there is zero substance to those beliefs, but useful for all to see how inept you all are.
