Brexit, for once some facts.

[oyster]

May's tactics, if they can be dignified by a term that implies having thought about what to do, seem to have changed little over the years:

Theresa May tries the oblique defence
Mrs May dealt with MPs' jibes by the simple process of answering every question at enormous length. When she ran out of material for one question, she would backtrack to the previous one and answer that again. It was a tactic that worked well.

we get what we voted for buy law we leave on the 29th nothing has changed this they have all voted for it votes otherwise are meaningless if not made law !

Sorry but you are ‘so last year’.....March 29 has now been replaced by April 12....after May’s ‘rallying speech’ that castigated MP’s ,any chance of her deal passing is now gone.....so what happens next?
It was never May’s deal,it was the EU’s deal,that was obvious the day that David Davis turned up at the meeting with Barnier with no papers and Barnier had a stack.
Perhaps the EU can invent a new deal,a very soft Brexit that May can take back to our MP’s,staying in the customs union in everything but name.....that will get through parliament if Corbyn lets Labour have a free vote. The ERG will throw their toys but who cares.

May's tactics, if they can be dignified by a term that implies having thought about what to do, seem to have changed little over the years:

she's just a soundbite machine for the conservative party.
Nothing new or worthwhile to say.
No wonder that the maybot nickname sticks.

 

[Woosh]

so what happens next?

that depends if MPs can wrestle the order paper from the maybot this Wednesday.
If they can't, JC will call for a vote of no confidence.

BTW, the revoke A50 petition reaches nearly 3 million mark (2,668,994 signatures at this time).

Anyone wants to bet how high it's going?

Pursued by a Portaloo and waving Hammond’s head on a pike, Farage’s foot soldiers bear down on London to demand Brexit

Fifty men and women are walking 270 miles from Sunderland to London to demand Leave means Leave on 29 March

No doubt thousands will join later on, including Nigel?

No. Just put Brexit to sleep using A50. It would be the kindest thing. The government is like a dog who’s back legs have gone. Dragging themselves around looking for help and pity.

I believe the correct term is "Dumb insolence", next she will revert to the old Navajo Indian trick of screaming and begging

Very true

Yet more on CA's manipulation/rigging efforts. And why does anyone continue to use facebook? (Rhetorical not serious.)

Facebook acknowledges concerns over Cambridge Analytica emerged earlier than reported
Company confirms suspicions of separate incident following Washington DC attorney general court filing

Notice we have operation Joint Warrior starting 30th March, running until 11th April. Quite a presence of the future EU army on British Soil? A coincidence??
Reckon they are here to keep remainers from rioting when we get no deal.
Made mistake of looking without logging in this morning. Jesus OG, 13 posts so far today.Are you really that bored...

I forgot this bit
"A wag covering the march commented this on the Portaloo and marchers.

It will be close run thing which of the two is more full of the proverbial"

Only now you have come out from under your bridge, where did you trawl this trope up from?

Leaver logic involved to have a future EU army here in the flesh,are they cavalry riding on unicorns?

Remainers aren't the ones likely to riot are they?they know what they face.
Whereas leavers have high hopes

 

[oyster]

Joint Warrior

Time was, operation/exercise names were intentionally bland and would obscure the nature of what was happening. Such as the Armilla Patrol.

Who said they could use names for PR/propaganda purposes?

Oh yes, and just when did these operations commence? 2008 under this name. Hardly a brexit event although, obviously, there are connections now.

I’m not a person who usually pays any attention at all to what clothes famous people put on, I normally regard it as inconsequential. But, Theresa May really needs to sort her clothing out. She looks distractingly odd in those long trousers coupled with a short jacket. The natural crookedness of her gait makes her take on the appearance of a wading bird with a birth defect. I suspect that someone has tried to tell her that she looks hideous, but...........well we know the rest.

She is bent over because she is having trouble with the weight of the junk she wears around her neck...

Now 2,866,811 and paused in verification.

Fingers and some others think it's foreign bots, strange that they work to UK hours.

Its heading for 3 million and its only 11am..

This is relatively amusing. Made by someone I know.

No Brexit seems popular with towns / cities with universities. Barely stirred the pot in Clacton and Lincolnshire.

And yes there was more sense from the enlightened young girl on QT last night in two minutes than ever heard from TM.

TM has to defend members of the conservative party, a Herculean task all by itself.
(She has already given up on defending its policies when the right wing press declared that Comic Relief was an advert for JC),
