The dumb fascist does not know the Pomgolia are reliant on food imports from free Ireland.

Chips?

Just the start Taips.

Heaps of produce exit Free Ireland fill the bellies of Pomgolian swill as it has for centuries.

No more. Pomgolians can apply to the World Food Program. The

As for coming here as migrants, they can forget it. Oz has had enough of whining Poms.

Most of them even prefer to follow soccer!

The only sure thing is that nobody can agree on anything, and there’s going to be a lot of people kicking up a fuss whatever the eventual outcome.

Aye, is a lose/lose situation which can only get worse.

Tell Europe to go fark itself. The only reason there is an EU is because England bailed it out twice last century(admittedly England didn't have the cleanest hands during big farkup1).

This hard border bullshit is some crap thought up in Brussels to make a total pigs breakfast of the thing

If we want a full Brexit we have to let Northern Ireland go, in the short or longer term - but that’s the last thing the Tories and particularly DUP would ever agree to!

Wired way to unite Ireland, probably symbolic of the whole process.

Yep. What does Boris want to do about Northern Ireland?

Probably have to send in troops unless this is seen as an opportunity to fix the thorniest of thorny problems, but yeah can't see anyone telling that to the DUP.

I can see Corbyn letting NI go. Gibraltar as well.

Corbyn will do a Portugal a la the seventies.

So now the Parliamentary vote has been postponed.

All this fuss over a silly opinion poll.

I'm thinking of a sentence where the words "hell" and "handcart" feature prominently.

The shitshow gets ever shittier. What can this Parliament ever possibly agree on?

We now have a PM playing chicken with both hard Leavers and hard Remainers, and a fair chance it will go right down to the wire, as the uncertainty continues to hit markets and jobs. It seems only an extension to the process and a general election could possibly solve it, though the result is most likely to be inconclusive again.

Can you imagine the arguments about the Tory manifesto? It could break the party in two. No bad thing imho.

At least she didn't have to resort to cheap tricks to avoid an embarrassing vote. She's a total moron but I admire her chutzpah.

I reckon May will come out of it all looking good in hindsight. Even if it all falls over tomorrow - she has done her best while qunts on all side throw crap at her. The EU have the UK's nuts in a vice so the current deal will be as good as it gets.

Unless we vote Remain in a second referendum and put a stop to this comedy of errors.

Nath! Ramp it up and wait for the gutless qunts to blink. Europe has enough problems, why not exploit them. She could probably win an election doing the bodices act.

There's more chance of hell freezing over, than the Tories winning an election with May as leader.

I don't know taking a hard line may work. I'm not a fan but I hate the French and the Germans and can just tolerate Italians. I think it might be the Yorkshire ancestry.
