I feel bad for the British voter that the DUP's pig headedness and lack of policy outside of being anti-Irish allowed brexiteers jump on an easy reason to condemn the withdrawal agreement and land them in the pits.

May deserves what she's gotten though.

I wish politicians would stop saying that in the last General Election 80% of people voted for parties who promised to honour the referendum and deliver Brexit trying to suggest that it's a fresh and overwhelming new mandate for Brexit. It's more down to the broken two party first past the post political system.

I still have a hunch that there will a last minute extension to Article 50. When the clock has almost run out there will be some kind of No deal v Article 50 extension vote in Parliament with the latter winning, much to the disgust of the right wing Brexiteer toffs.
 
This Petition that was actually mentioned in a Brexit Committee with former Taoiseach Bertie Ahern* today....

"The RoI left our Union in 1922 after 121 years of being part of the family.

"We should now ask them to reconsider their position within both the UK & EU as a way of solving the current impasse over the Irish border issue that is holding up the Withdrawal Agreement.

"Britain & Ireland stronger together."





Aye, we'll reconsider our position and go back to being the abused dog of that dysfunctional "family" we sacrificed so much to get out of! Some people...


*Tragically shite Taoiseach overall but did do great work in relation to the North so his opinion is very much valid.

'Hmm we can't get Brexit deal without solving the Irish issue... I know let's ask them to rejoin the union, there's absolutely no way that can go down badly.'

Seriously, it isn't working out so we basically ask Ireland back onto Britain's metaphorical dick and let themselves be ****** over. Did the twat who even made the suggestion for one moment consider how the Irish people would feel?

It's gas, a bit of a non story in reality, some random petition online but for an MP to ask an Irish man what he thinks of 're-joining' the EU implying we ever decided to be part of the union rather than being conquered is fairly daft!
 
I don't know has the penny dropped with the Westminster idiots of the fallout of a no-deal exit.

It'd probably see the UK quickly descend into something like Venezuela. Not kidding.

But Jacob Rees Prick and his cronies would be all right - maybe. Its quite possible one of the impoverished peasants they so enjoy looking down on will get a gun and decide to use it. Indeed, I'd say the same would apply to the entirety of the current cabinet. If they think that they can completely f**k millions of lives up and there will not be at least a few seeking violent recourse, then they are even stupider than I imagine.

I won't be one of those - I am fortunate enough to have options. Many won't. They'll feel trapped, undermined and betrayed by a bunch of liars and crooks that have climbed back into their ivory towers and they will see no avenue to justice through the courts.

Well, lets see.

- Explosion in food prices? Definitely will happen.
- Shortage of foodstuffs? Also, definitely will happen.
- Mass redundancies as UK companies are suddenly very uncompetitive (if not simply unable to trade due to regulatory issues) internationally due to tariffs? Absolutely.
- Govt default on public debt? Almost assured.
- Collapse of NHS and social security due to afore-mentioned debt default? Very likely.


If Westminster completely f**k it up and exit with no-deal, once the first domino goes on Saturday 30th March:
- within a week you'll see food prices skyrocket and food shortages.
- within two weeks the writing will be on the wall for companies throughout the UK.
- within a month there will be redundancies all over the place.
- within that same month the pound will utterly plummet as it is value is worthless on the international markets.
- within 12 months the govt will default on its gilts. With tax revenues dropping like a stone, debt as a function of GDP will have reached untenable levels. Without any money to pay wages, benefits, import medical supplies etc, the system will collapse.


Liam Fox has only now discovered the obvious, he cannot actually get a WTO deal in place without years of negotiations - unless he* is willing to bend over and take it up the ass from every other country that want to squeeze the UK for favourable terms (for them).
*which by extension means the UK public.


A sh|tshow doesn't begin to describe it.

How can anyone prove any projections on what might happen with Brexit?

That is a ridiculous position to take.


Tell me which of my statements (which are assuming a no deal Brexit) is illogical and why.
 
I tell you what will 100% happen in no deal Brexit, we'll stop importing short-life drugs and people will die because of it.

Was speaking to someone who specialises in the transport of drugs this weekend and a specialist at GOSH they are legitimatelt very scared about what will happen.

Yep.

I'd have Rees Prick, Boris, Andrea Loathsom and Liam Fox in front of a firing squad first thing in the morning for what they are doing.

What are peeps thoughts on this? She's still a British citizen and left voluntarily as a minor to go to Syria. Now she's pregnant and wants to return for the sake of he "unborn" child.

Feel like if you dedicate yourself to an enemy army you should renounce citizenship/be stripped of it.

I guess it's an awkward thing, from a legal standpoint, as ISIS aren't a recognised country/foreign power or whatever. So she's not declared herself for another country.

I wouldn't let her back in though.
