"May You Live In Interesting Times": Brexit 2019

[Mountain Goat]

I have got through half the first series of Beverly Hills 90201 (original). It's my comfort blanket.

[Texaco Shirley]

I haven’t seen that. I think I would have a similar reaction though.

[Texaco Shirley]

I’ve seen it now and was left with the impression that I think I know the beardy man he shook hands with

[Topcat]

"The government says it will try to get Theresa May's Brexit deal through the Commons, despite Speaker John Bercow throwing the process into doubt." according to the BBC.

[Mountain Goat]

Fucking cunting "government".

Good thread on twitter from Katya Adler on EU reactions to extension though conclusion is still that we don't know anything much.

[Bat Macdui]

They've had nearly 24 hours and that's the best they can come up with?? FFS.

I saw that earlier, Goat. We have to wait til Thursday, I think. I'd imagine yes to an extension, wouldn't put any money on how long.

[Ella77]

I’m starting to think somebody’s got something MAJOR on TM because she’s behaving so illogically.

[Topcat]

If Windrush couldn't bring her down, then I'm not sure what actually could.

[Mountain Goat]

There being someone to replace her in existence who is credible, with an interest in poisoned chalices and enough support behind them? I suspect that's the only reason we still have her. No-one else wants the job.

[smalex]

Isn't it just that they can't get rid of her now until Dec unless they voted against the government in a motion of no confidence, which they don't want to do because who fucking knows who'd come out alive from a GE (and it'd delay Brexit and open the door wider to a promise of a 2nd Ref).

[Ella77]

It’s that she hasn’t quit that astonishes me.

[Topcat]

It’s that she hasn’t quit that astonishes me.

Absolutely. I have no idea how she sleeps at night, if I'm honest.

[smalex]

Oh, absolutely. She is entirely made of rhino hide.

[Mountain Goat]

They can all just step down and force the issue to get past the not being able to hold another no confidence vote thing. Or they could have actually voted her out before.

[Texaco Shirley]

It’s that she hasn’t quit that astonishes me.

Absolutely. I have no idea how she sleeps at night, if I'm honest.

I don’t think she does really.

[rosy]

I'm so angry about all these cunting politicians playing games with our fucking lives and futures. And I have a kidney infection so I'm running on a very short fuse just now

[smalex]

So apparently TM is going to ask for a short extension... with the option of a long extension. That's clear then.

[Green]

I'm so angry about all these cunting politicians playing games with our fucking lives and futures.

I know. There has to be a better way and I'm liking the concept of people's assemblies. Has anyone seen the led by donkeys 'breaking point' poster?

[Mountain Goat]

The Sun reporting that Jeremy Corbyn is tired and fed up and doesn't want to be leader any more.

Good, take your bat and ball and pop off then.

[smalex]

The Sun reporting that Jeremy Corbyn is tired and fed up and doesn't want to be leader any more.

Aren't we all? Probably a lot easier when he was sitting on the back benches opposing everything.
