Re: BREXIT - A Poll & Discussion
Only just alerted to this ministerial reshuffle. Happy to take the foreign office Woody. Very familiar with bloody Embassy cocktail parties but as the Minister one could bog off early and stir the ***** in said country. I would bring back the British Empire. Any complaints from the NRs and they would be shot. This also helps if there is a food shortage.

Re: BREXIT - A Poll & Discussion
Perhaps the Overseas Aid budget should be directed back to where it belongs, funding better Embassy cocktail parties?

Back in the time when I was working for BA Cargo, the increase in Diplomatic Mail just before QBP,s was very impressive
When all else fails, read the instructions.

May's letter
https://order-order.com/2019/03/20/mays ... extension/
EU Commission's Press Officer's almost immediate response pointing out what she is asking for is impossible, and she'd already been told so.
She's mad, literally. Knowingly, publicly, asking the impossible.

If only she had done a course in the inane and archaic form of communication, so beloved to some, known as Service writing.... as it's barely intelligible , the EU would have agreed months ago.

Well, at least you’re the expert in that field.

I believe Leader of the Opposition also gets lots of free junkets though often fails to declare them. Can also get first pick from the fugly ones.

Re: BREXIT - A Poll & Discussion
Tusk has just said a short extension will be possible, but questions remain about the duration.
I am pretty sure he can't agree to anything past May 22nd without the UK having to hold EU Parliament elections on May 23rd.

Re: BREXIT - A Poll & Discussion
Donald Tusk.“I believe that a short extension will be possible but it will be conditional on a positive vote on the Withdrawal Agreement in the House of Commons.”
So, it's May's Deal, or No Deal. Which is probably what she was angling for all along. However, at the moment, MV3 on her Deal won't even be allowed; nevermind that it's been voted down massively twice already. The pressure transfers to Jezza.

Re: BREXIT - A Poll & Discussion
Well it seems that Mrs May is in a Catch 22 situation; https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/20 ... y-article/
Get the vote through Parliament and there is no need for an extension; don't get the vote through Parliament and there is no extension.
Guess it's leave on the 29th on a no deal.......perhaps.............

Re: BREXIT - A Poll & Discussion
For Gawds sake.....
We did ok before we joined....
Let's just leave on 29 March, and on the thirtieth we can make a start on squaring away the minor details!
The sun will still come up in the morning!

Re: BREXIT - A Poll & Discussion
Are you sure? - It rises first over the EU, they could veto or delay its progress. They do that with everything else. Wrong shade of yellow; that sort of thing

Re: BREXIT - A Poll & Discussion
Nah fox.
Where I am it rises + 6 on Z
I'm mystified only by how the UK seems to be rudderless.
Not it's normal condition.
Must be the new politics?

Not the only country with a defective steering mechanism, although the UK does appear to be the only one where the rudder has actually fallen off !

Re: BREXIT - A Poll & Discussion
Mrs May has made her pledge, to take us out of the EU on the 29th of March, her sole policy.
She has said so 80 times; 90 times; a hundred times or more. It was always that date, never the end of June. Always 29th of March.
She has failed. She must now go. On the morning of the 29th she must order her limo to desport her up the Mall to have a quiet word with the German bint up yonder to fess up to the fact that the Brits have been beaten by the **** Germans yet again and that she (the leopard-shoed one) is unfit for purpose and cannot credibly form a credible government.
At 23:00 on the 29th of this month the fireworks will fly! Not only Chez Plum, but all across the nation.
If the bitch (the English one, not the German) really does let us down I shall fly the Union Flag at half-mast all night. That's not normally allowable, but the circumstances would warrant such an exception.
