The Gerronwivit brigade think it will all be over on 30th March not realising that it would be only the very beginning in renegotiating everything with the rest of the world and moreover dealing with the fallout and consequences of that for years and years to come.
Brexited | the worst threads live the longest
- Thread starter Silva
- Start date
She cannot just call a general election. If parliament is taking control they can also stop her calling an election as long as they have more than 1/3 the house supporting. Labour might say, let parliament take control and let's have an election afterwards. That is the price for our support. Could suit Corbyn nicely.
It's kinda scary that even after 2 1/2 years, still such a high proportion of the public remain completely uneducated on Brexit, what the different options mean and the impacts they'll have.
Sky have a poll where 26% of people who voted think "No Deal" Brexit means staying in the EU, crazy.

Were people always that ignorant ? If folks that have lived through the 70s can comment on that...
The GFA is an internationally binding treaty registered with the UN. It can't be unilaterally altered by one party so the whole idea is a non-starter. I literally can't believe Downing Street don't know that so their denial rings true.
That's that then, eh?
Heh wish that was true.
Comes across as a leaked false proposal put out there to distract and make the actual proposal appear more legitimate.
Yes.
Difference then was that people weren't bombarded by social media which seem to have a strong influence on how people think but they also had less experience of the outside world.
Or in number 10 they are completely desperate and scrambling for any crumbs of hope...
Given how the rest of these negotiations have gone I'm going for that. Fairly sure there isn't another actual proposal. Hope for the best maybe?

See my initial reaction to stuff like this is that it's massive news that will damage reputations....then i remember most of the UK live in wilful ignore when it comes to the Tory party so it's nothing news in effect.
I saw that as well, along with a very worrying rise in bigotry towards the irish.
May will seek a deal that would please Tories and the DUP. As such she is seeking to reopen the GFA.
well except then May would not then call a general election - so if Corbyn wants an election he would have to grab the opportunity now
If she destroys or damages the GFA she deserves to be put on trial.
As if there's any trust in politics now anyway. She's delusional.
Mrs May's fashion sense is more of a shambles than Brexit.

I imagine this is a non starter for the Irish. Barnier has suggested as such already.
Nothing so far....
Nothing has changed, May and Corbyn still the same.
I don't get it, we can't have a hard border between North & South Ireland, but we can have one between France (i.e. Europe) and England.
Am I missing something, but why is free movement over the Irish border more important than free movement between main land Europe and the UK?

A hard border between the UK and France will also be a disaster but for different reasons
So her Plan B is to ask the EU again?
By the way...
Nothing on babestation
Looks like it and Corbyn still chasing the unicorns. No deal gets closer.
I often wonder whether May's categorical refusal of a 2nd referendum is just a ruse to eventually have a better way of selling it to the people who voted for and believe in Brexit. But as the exit date keeps coming closer and closer it's looking more and more like the whole thing really is such a hopeless stalemate of idiocy and personal ambitions of politicians.

Did you miss the whole Troubles thing?
Seems the best solution.
Eh?
I don't recall France and the UK having over 30 years of armed conflict and bombings and murders in the 20th century.
I'm obviously missing the point and don't want to get into an argument about something over which my knowledge is limited.
If you genuinely don't know about The Troubles then fair enough, but yeah, that's the answer, if you want to wiki them.
Painfully apt.
Hammond's face is a picture .
French borders don't matter anyway, you'd just surrenderDo you recall a land border?
