That sounds like a pretty good deal, doesn't it?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And what happened to the idea that parliament is sovereign that so many were claiming a couple of weeks ago? Or does a second referendum overide parliament? Indeed it is. And if Parliament decides to hold a second referendum that is what will happen. Your taxi driver accepted the fare, but ran into some issues like roadworks, heavy traffic and where you want to go to now closes at 2 a.m and the fare will have to go up. So yes you all left the club, but he can’t get you to where you want to go to before it closes. So he can either drop you off back at the first club, take you somewhere else or ask you what you want to do .... is that clear enough for you?

Bill 1,788 Posted October 16, 2019 On 28/08/2019 at 10:25, Jools said: It’s being reported that Boris is set to prorogue parliament from 11th September, thereby preventing MPs from being able to table a vote of no confidence before the Brexit deadline. The move, which is certain to infuriate Remain MPs, will be difficult to challenge in court as it is standard practice for the purpose of a bog standard new Queen’s Speech. A new Queen’s Speech will be scheduled for 14th October, when Parliament will return with no time to stop No Deal… The move, agreed to in secret, was set to be unveiled at this afternoon’s Privy Council meeting, where three privy More on this as we get it…councillors (led by Jacob Rees Mogg) will ask the Queen for a prorogation in council for 9th September. "will be difficult to challenge in court " "when Parliament will return with no time to stop No Deal…" oh dear oh dearie, dear me 🤣 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kick it off 1,948 Posted October 16, 2019 (edited) So Northern Ireland subsidies due to their **** poor economy costs more than Eu membership for the UK. If the Brexwits are that bothered about saving all that money we give to the EU, couldn't we compromise on staying in the EU and sacking Arlene and her band of merry terrorists off and getting rid of NI out of the UK? The EU has far more benefits than having Northern Ireland attached to us. Just a thought. Edited October 16, 2019 by kick it off Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SwindonCanary 455 Posted October 16, 2019 Bad news for forgetful Bill. Hopes are growing that a potential Brexit deal is on the verge of being announced after it was claimed the Northern Ireland consent issue has been resolved by EU and UK negotiators. The claim was made just after 6pm Irish time and as the EU's chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier began a private briefing with EU member state ambassadors in Brussels. After days of talks which dragged on into this evening despite initial plans for them to end by this morning, it was widely suggested a form of a deal which could be put to the EU leaders summit on Thursday and Friday has finally been agreed.

The EU has far more benefits than having Northern Ireland attached to us. Just a thought. I don't know if this is the endgame or another hiccup, but of all the surreal aspects of Brexit this is the most revealing. Whether Brexit will happen or not could well depend not on the fundamental issue that should be decisive - is leaving the EU a Good Idea or a Bad Idea - but on whether enough pork-barrel concessions and bribes can be thrown the way of 10 MPs from a dog-in-the-manger fringe party. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
