Yes trouble would be awful wouldn't it, best stay on the current strong and stable path instead.
Top 10 crossover episodesYeh just catching up. British politics are getting as interesting as trump presidency
Fitting that they are meeting up on Thursday
Sounds distraught.
"heading for a status of a colony " says the secretary of state of a nation that colonised half the world. Boo hoo
Given his form in the past, I wouldn't put it past him putting that in as a quite calculated little in-joke.
I don't think May is in any danger of losing a confidence vote.
Can't this plonker just feck off to Yankee land.
I was in the UK when decimalisation was introduced, and the locals could not stop complaining about, and some still do now.
Sadly, I fear there is still a long way further to fall.
17.4 million voters should be held personally responsible. Ignorance is no excuse.
Tuning in for the next episode of "Rats leaving the sinking ship"
ahh fair enough
This was somehow interpreted as a soft Brexit on here yesterday
.Furthermore, even more ridiculous are the Cabinet ministers resigning because she's effectively asking for No Deal.
The bit about juggernaut window heights is a strange inclusion. It's obvious he was being fobbed off as he was seen as a distraction … if the British government wanted to legislate that they could have done it independently of Europe if it were viable – it simply isn't.
Are we really suffering BREXIT because Boris, as London mayor, didn't get a Boris Juggernaut to sit alongside the Boris bike? How can you legislate to change something that drives right across Europe without involving EUROPE

I found that passage particularly strange. I think its a deliberate attempt at emotiveness in the absence of any coherent rational economic argument.
I totally agree, but I thought about it more and edited my original post.
His opening paragraph omits the inconvenient fact that the Leave campaign broke the law, and so undermined his precious 'democracy'.
Just read it. Good point. But also, I would have assumed Britain can change rules of the road - look at the way drink driving limits differ accross Europe for example.
He's a man clutching at straws.

I don't know, I understand why @Adisa reads a soft brexit, it's not because of what is written or what she says but because she is seemingly negotiating with the EU. Now for me there is an angle that is interesting to explore, no deal doesn't require any negotiations, so if she isn't going for soft brexit then she is just acting in a way that will keep her in Downing Street for as long as possible. If she publicly states that no deal is the way, then her party doesn't need her and they are all going to fight for her place.
In the end, there is very little to say which way this government wants to go.
Bingo.
Someone on another board wrote that Johnson's letter is 'essentially an application letter for the PM job'.
Am I to understand that May who originally campaigned Remain now has delivered a 'softer' Brexit, effectively getting Davis and Johnson out of the administration and is likely to survive a no-confidence motion? I'm not sure if this is genius or clown worthy.
I despise him. Hidden behind that buffoon persona for far too long. He knows exactly what he's doing and if anyone's a spineless jellyfish it's him.
Farage:
"In March 2019, the current leader of Ukip, Gerard Batten, will reach the end of his term in office. Unless Brexit is back on track by then, I will have to seriously consider putting my name forward to return as Ukip leader."

It's great for her... Up until the leavers are so infuriated, they vote against her in commons... Effectively triggering a general election.
Which will almost certainly deliver a hung parliament, which isn't what the leavers want either so they'll try to avoid that if possible.
But if there is a hung parliament, the brexit will probably be negotiated with a cross party group of lib Dems, labour and maybe still the Tories. And a competent brexit much actually be brought forward
Few, I was worried for a minute.
But since Day one she has been negotiating and asking for the impossible. It is just different cake.
No deal is catastrophic and she knows it.
Nothing about this whole farce is about the good of the country or even the will of the people, it is on ly about keeping the Tories in power.
It is a ridiculous post, considering Thailand is effectively ruled by a military junta.
Exactly.
I personally don't think it was ignorance. Nobody including the main Brexiteers in the government knew the complexities of an exit. We now have a government who are fudging the issue based on appeasing their colleagues and their personal ambitions and futures as MPs.
If we go without a deal what happens if the USA, China, India, etc decide to put up tariffs on certain items we export as is happening with Trump? As a European bloc we can retaliate as a small country we'd be in a pickle.
Based on WTO, without a deal everyone will put tarrifs on everything.
Sorry gents, but I'll laugh when they're all out. It's not even slightly funny at the moment.
I understand. I personally think the bigger economies outside of the UK would be delighted to weaken the EU bloc. Especially Russia, US and China. Russia due to different reasons than trade.
But we'd have to put a hard border between NI and ROI to trade under the WTO right?
Johnson was a shit politician but a 'big' personality.
Yes!
Without a deal you'll be able to shake each others hand over the border, extend your neck out and kiss each other but can't trade legally. Unbelievable!
