With their secret weapon of nothing on under their kilts on the Khyber Pass.Scotland isn't a 'former colonised country'. It joined the union voluntarily after it found itself in financial dire straits after bodging its own attempts at colonialism in South America. It joined the union in order to escape financial peril and to get back in on the colonising. Joining the union had an economically transformational effect on Scotland and they were key players in many aspects of the Empire.
Bercow won't allow it.May's gonna have another go.
Jesus wept.
I don't necessarily want it, I'm just saying that would be the most logical. That would mean majority want to Leave so let's see which Leave scenario would the country prefer. Remainers would then at least get a choice, too: they can vote to avoid No Deal.Revoke I think, no deal only got 140 votes?
What? If Remain gets 49% of the votes you want a 2nd round between 2 options that totaled 51%?
I assume everyone has built a formidable stockpile by now, but if not, I'd do it this weekend.EU says no-deal now 'a likely scenario' and that managed no-deal won't be on offer
Here is the full statement from the European commissionfollowing the vote in the Commons.
The commission regrets the negative vote in the House of Commons today. As per the European council (Article 50) decision on 22 March, the period provided for in article 50(3) is extended to 12 April. It will be for the UK to indicate the way forward before that date, for consideration by the European council.
A “no-deal” scenario on 12 April is now a likely scenario. The EU has been preparing for this since December 2017 and is now fully prepared for a “no-deal” scenario at midnight on 12 April. The EU will remain united. The benefits of the withdrawal agreement, including a transition period, will in no circumstances be replicated in a “no-deal” scenario. Sectoral mini-deals are not an option.
MV3: The Search for Spockwtf, she can have as many goes as she likes but we can't have a 2nd go?
My assumptions are the following:You clearly have more sense than most MPs
With the UK not having anything up their sleeve to stop it, seems inevitable .I assume everyone has built a formidable stockpile by now, but if not, I'd do it this weekend.
Ffs, when is her party going to step in & stop her?'Multiple government sources suggesting that there is a "run-off" idea circulated "the moment the numbers became clear"
This would mean pitting her deal against the strongest proposal from indicative votes process.'
You can't make that kind of assumption, hypothetically, if May deal (25%), no deal (30%), remain (45%), the logical thing to do is get rid of the least supported and go round 2 with the 2 better supported options.I don't necessarily want it, I'm just saying that would be the most logical. That would mean majority want to Leave so let's see which Leave scenario would the country prefer. Remainers would then at least get a choice, too: they can vote to avoid No Deal.
No deal will likely lead to Scotland demanding another referendum very soon and create another border issue.My assumptions are the following:
BINO: The UK will at some point realize that it's not a good idea to be rule takers and will want to be at the forefront of lawmaking which will lead to a deeper integration than BINO aka EU or EFTA full membership.
No deal: The Irish border will have to be dealt with by either going into a BINO agreement or irish people will take care of the issue themselves and reunite, I could also see Scotland leave the union.
Maybe I lack imagination but I don't really see any other scenario and certainly not one where things stop at No deal.
Because no-one else wants the job.How is Theresa Mugabe still in power?
Stockpile of what? Basic necessities?I assume everyone has built a formidable stockpile by now, but if not, I'd do it this weekend.
Hot Canadian men he means.Stockpile of what? Basic necessities?
Nobody can challenge her anyway until... when was the vote of confidence? November? December?Because no-one else wants the job.
Yes, I'd say enough food for at least a month, two months of household necessities (toilet paper, toiletries, nappies etc) and advance supplies of any important medicines you need.Stockpile of what? Basic necessities?
Because the 2016 referendum must be respected, nothing else needs to be.How the feck can we have four votes on the same thing but a send referendum is an affront to democracy?
They didn't want the job then either. and do you seriously think Corbyn wants to be in office now.Nobody can challenge her anyway until... when was the vote of confidence? November? December?
If you swim DownSouth we might give you asylumYes, I'd say enough food for at least a month, two months of household necessities (toilet paper, toiletries, nappies etc) and advance supplies of any important medicines you need.
This is the crux of it. Hard Brexiteers want her to be the one that falls on the sword of no deal and are guiding her towards it.Because no-one else wants the job.
I dont think Corbyn ever wanted the job to be honest. I think he curses the day he listened to John McDonnell.They didn't want the job then either. and do you seriously think Corbyn wants to be in office now.
pwned by a history lesson! Fair play. I’ll have to take that one on the chin.Scotland isn't a 'former colonised country'. It joined the union voluntarily after it found itself in financial dire straits after bodging its own attempts at colonialism in South America. It joined the union in order to escape financial peril and to get back in on the colonising. Joining the union had an economically transformational effect on Scotland and they were key players in many aspects of the Empire.
Maybe these pricks should have thought about this at the time of the referendum...Tweet

Sorry state of affairs all aroundBecause no-one else wants the job.
He seems to be doing his best to ensure he's never PM.I dont think Corbyn ever wanted the job to be honest. I think he curses the day he listened to John McDonnell.
Good lord. Best of luck to you all.Yes, I'd say enough food for at least a month, two months of household necessities (toilet paper, toiletries, nappies etc) and advance supplies of any important medicines you need.
Yeah, that's a reasonable solution, too.You can't make that kind of assumption, hypothetically, if May deal (25%), no deal (30%), remain (45%), the logical thing to do is get rid of the least supported and go round 2 with the 2 better supported options.
Surely you could have two questionsYou can't make that kind of assumption, hypothetically, if May deal (25%), no deal (30%), remain (45%), the logical thing to do is get rid of the least supported and go round 2 with the 2 better supported options.
.
But not quite yet.Johnson wants the job, to be fair.
Do they have time to hold the general election on the same date as well... Seems very likley the EU elections will be taking placeA UK snap election would not end the EU requirement that Britain stage European parliament elections if it wishes to remain in the EU beyond 23 May, the date of the European elections, Norbert Röttgen, the German parliament’s foreign affairs committee chair, has said.
Röttgen, who has been in London for talks with David Lidington, the de-facto deputy prime minister, said:
If Britain decides to be members on the European Union on the day of the European elections then European citizens have the right to take part in the European elections. You cannot deny citizens the right to take part in European elections. That is clear.
He also insisted any request for an extension of article 50 beyond the month of May would have to come from the British government and not via parliament.
And he warned any Conservative candidate for the party’s leadership election who promised to unstitch a signed EU withdrawal agreement would be making “simple, legally meaningless pledges that cannot be fulfilled under international law”.
He added if any Tory candidate sought to renegotiate a signed withdrawal agreement, the reaction would be “this is a done deal, full stop”. Röttgen said:
We would notice the announcement of bad faith, particularly by people who are perhaps acquiring power in your country.
