You Had One Job

Really. They had just the one job. Leave the EU. And here we are, with Theresa May having united the country in opposition to her dreadful fudge. No one likes her deal. So now we are on bended knee prostrating ourselves before the bureaucrats of the EU.

Just one job. One fucking job. And they couldn’t do it.

The EU will only agree to a short delay to Brexit if MPs approve the current withdrawal agreement next week, Theresa May has been told.

EU Council President Donald Tusk said an extension, requested by the prime minister on Wednesday, was possible.

Mrs May has written to Mr Tusk requesting a Brexit delay to 30 June, saying she needed more time to get her deal agreed by MPs and passed into law.

We have become an embarrassment. We – the electorate – gave them our decision, yet we have been faced with the anti-democrats using every possible trick they can to undermine that decision, kicking it into the long grass, sulking, moaning, complaining and behaving like truculent teenagers who have been told to tidy their room and now here we are with the deadline looming and like those surly teenagers, they haven’t done their homework and are looking for a dog to blame it on. They are a disgrace. They have forever besmirched the democracy they are supposed to represent. Every one of them should be removed from post and new appointees put in place who will carry out the instruction given by the electorate, who will not kowtow to the unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats in Brussels.

Fucking Hell!

  2. As a dog returns to its vomit, so a fool repeats his folly.

    In like manner Treason May returns, yet again to her BRINO deal. As with any polished and glittered turd it has one seller and no buyers. Quelle surprise!

    However, Treason May is in the unique position of having options, simply because she is a PM who has already recently won the 1922 Committees booby prize, meaning she is secure from further challengers (from her own party) until December 2019.

    Her options seem to be.
    1. Revoke Article 50 and be condemned forever as hypocrite, repudiator and traitor
    2. Threaten to do (1) unless MP’s vote for her BRINO polished and glittered turd
    3. Request HM Queen to prorogue Parliament instantly delivering Hard BRExit
    4. Threaten to do (3) unless MP’s vote for her BRINO polished and glittered turd
    5. Bugger about with extensions and negotiations until even the EU gets bored and ejects us at the end of June 2019.

    Having seen Treason May and her predecessor spaff 1,000 days up the wall since the referendum and delivered nothing but treason, gullibility and incompetence, my money is on Option 5. (“Bugger about until June and then get ejected”). Personally, I think it’s got legs!

    This speaks volumes about the political incompetence of Treason May and Westminster / Whitehall in general.

      +1 on 1-4

      On 5 – EU will play lip-service to Brexit whilst UK paying them £10-20bn pa and to prevent any UK competitive advantage.

    • None of those options are feasible. The WA has already suffered two defeats, one of them the largest in British political history, and unless she substantially changes it, then it cannot be put before Parliament again this session. Even Macron has said that he will veto any extension and Fuhrerin Merkel has already issued her ultimatum (what is it with German Chancellors?)

      Voting to take No Deal off the table is not binding, and is like voting for the Sun not to rise next morning. It looks like we’re going to leave on March 29th, and about bloody time too.

  3. In 2016 a majority of the country voted to leave. Two years down the line it turns out we lost.

    We lost the Brexit vote

    Be in no doubt that what we are witnessing is a coup against the people. There may not be tanks on the streets, but it’s a coup all the same. A few hundred MPs have decided to defy the will of the 17,410,742 British citizens who voted to leave the EU. It was the largest number of people to have voted for anything in our proud history.

    But the majority of ‘Hon members’ have been determined to overturn the referendum result, despite repeatedly promising to ‘respect’ it. The electorate is being treated with undisguised contempt. If they get away with it — which they probably will — Britain will have ceased to be a proper democracy.

    Any chance of securing a dignified exit from the EU was scuppered on Wednesday night, when MPs voted to take No Deal off the table.

    What’s the point of entering any kind of negotiation when your opponents know there’s no chance of you walking away without a deal, no matter how derisory?

    About the same as agreeing to pay a £39 billion bill up front, I guess, without knowing what you’re going to get in return. If you’re not prepared to walk away empty-handed, you’re going to get taken to the cleaners.

    Curiously, one of the proposers of the No Deal motion was Labour MP Jack Dromey, a former trades union official and husband of Harriet Harman.

    Jack used to be a national officer with the TGWU, now Unite. Somehow I can’t ever imagine him going into talks with an employer, on his hands and knees, promising that he’d take whatever pathetic pay rise they decided to offer and guaranteeing there was no danger that his members would go on strike. He’d have been lynched as a class traitor.
    …
    Worst of all, May deceived the British public, for which she deserves never to be forgiven. She’s entitled to humiliate herself, but she’s not entitled to humiliate her country.
    …
    Meanwhile, Tony Blair, a former Prime Minister, has been encouraging EU leaders to stand firm against Britain.

    ‘Traitor’ is a highly-charged word, but how else to describe an ex-PM conspiring with foreign powers to thwart the will of his own people?

    Ultimately, however, this is about much more than just Brexit. It’s about how we are governed and whether we live in a functioning democracy. Right now, we don’t.

    Why bother with a second referendum or, even, a General Election? We’ve had both in the past three years and the politicians have simply ignored promises they made at the time.

    The referendum gave a clear instruction to Leave. At the election, 85 per cent of people voted for parties who promised to respect the referendum result.

    Yet the overwhelming majority of MPs no longer feel it necessary to honour their manifesto commitments. Once inside the Westminster bubble, they think they can behave as they like, and to blazes with the people who pay their wages.

    This isn’t representative government, it’s revolution. Parliament has rebelled against the people.

    We need a counter revolution. Military coup?

    • How much is it going to cost to provide all of the traitors with 24/7 security guards for the rest of their lives because I think they’re going to need them? There will be a great deal of anger born out of the frustration of being denied what was voted for and it is likely that a few of the 17 million will feel justified in exacting revenge on the guilty.

      • 24/7 security guards for the rest of their lives?

        Why? They are traitors, they can board a ferry to their beloved EU

  4. My hope is that at least one European leader refuses to back an extension, may be Orban from Hungary, Bercow continues to play the prima donna twat that he is and we crash out next Friday.

    • I’ve just sent Viktor Orban an email urging him, in the name of democracy and the majority of UK citizens, to reject a Brexit extension. I would urge others to do likewise and to encourage their friends to also do likewise.

  5. May’s speech seems to have pissed off a number of MPs somewhat and what small chance her “deal” had seems to have gone.

    The EU seem clear that the only way an extension would be granted is if the “deal” was passed.

    Of course, it could all be carefully crafted theatre but it takes real skill to do farce!

    Would they actually revoke article 50? Can they legally by 29th?

    And even if they could, what do they think this will achieve? They will be effectively stating that parliamentary and British sovereignty no longer exists and CANNOT be recovered. We are an EU bitch for evermore (I.e. until it falls apart) and just have to suck up whatever crumbs and rancid leftovers they deign to cast our way

    Best of luck selling that at the next election. And the labour shower of shite isn’t in any better position.

    They make the Vichy French cabinet look like the 300 Spartans!
