UK Politics Thread

Their readers certainly can though, going by the comments under these articles. There really is a huge amount of deluded morons in Britain.  If these idiots look for an extension simply to go round and round in the same circles the EU should tell them where to go.  My understanding (for some reason) is that an extension will only be granted in the event of General Election, or fresh negotiations, which will undoubtedly lead to an even less desirable version of “the deal” from a UK point of view. They won’t grant it simply because the UK’s house isn’t in order. I think the take away the UK have got from this is that any illusions of desperation on the part of the EU is far fetched. That is my understanding also but the way they are talking it is like they think that they can unilaterally apply an extension. My understanding is not only does the EU have to agree but that there has to be unanimity across all 27.

Say there ends up being a withdrawal agreement acceptable to both sides and we then have a 2 year transition phase while we negotiate the trade deal. Could it be that by the end of that transition period we have this sh*t show again with nothing agreed? If there was no agreement would it be as a catastrophic as if there is no withdrawal agreement or would the withdrawal agreement have enough stuff covered in it to avoid utter catastrophe?

Ian Blackford and Theresa May seem to absolutely hate each other. I think their exchanges in the house of commons are similar to what you would have if Sinn Fein ever actually took their seats.

Karen Bradley, take a bow.

An insult to mince, that.

The tories really really want the provos back don’t they?

Bradley is a feckin disgrace typical Tory slavering all over the DUP.

At the very least he needs his kneecaps removed. More thuggery from him last night and, unfortunately, the only thing his type understand is a hiding. The NF were beaten back in the '80s, I think similar is needed again. As for Bradley... I prefer when Tories are honest. It makes it so much easier to explain my hatred for them It is the ones that think like this (all of them), but don't say it, they're the bigger problem.
