[CHAPPERS]

Barclay discussing business having certainty yet didn't know that the WAB meant for NI business earlier today.

The year is 2192. The British Prime Minister visits Brussels to ask for an extension of the Brexit deadline. No one remembers where this tradition originated, but every year it attracts many tourists from all over the world.

If I ever met Bercow, in a dark alley, or even a light alley....it would be lights out.

The Prime Minister has been found.

Funny.

I wonder if he stood in front of the bulldozer that dug that ditch before jumping in it.
Killing 2 birds with 1 stone.

I doubt that Mr Bercow would come anywhere near your alley.

It’s a good day for the Government and Johnson.

Due to the Speaker of the House feeling sorry for them, they won’t lose a Parliamentary vote today.


Hurrah!!!!!! All back to Rees-Moggs for Champers and tiffin, what.

Brilliant!

Mildly amusing but the credit should go to the person who thought of it ..

I totally agree, it made me laugh out loud , so I thought I’d share.

Bit naughty not to credit him though, my bad.

This is excellent.
Can I put it in a tweet and pretend I made it up?
Or did you already nick it from a viral twitter or facebook post thing?

Sorry, I’d already nicked it, but, you’re welcome to sloppy seconds.

That's fair, but he has been enjoying a good lead, and that's before a) he has earned massive props for doing the "undoable" by getting the WA reopened, getting rid of the backstop, and agreeing a deal with the EU with speed, grace and goodwill on both sides, b) He approached the Benn Bill in the right manner to obey the law and also retain his dignity, and c) his GE opponents have today shown themselves to be willing to extend this farce even more, which I think the electorate won't feel like thanking them for.

Wow ! just wow ! Illegal Prorogation of Parliament in order to avoid scrutiny of his deal, Threw NI under the bus, created a border in the Irish Sea ( " That no British Prime Minister could ever contemplate " , Johnson, B ) Told the EU he'd rather die in a ditch than ask for a temporary extension, Had hissy fit about asking for extension now trying to push said deal through without publishing the details to avoid further scrutiny. I'll give you Speed, but not Grace and Goodwill.

Eeew. Thanks but, good as it was, I'll pass!

Yet once again The Speaker stops the government from doing the duty as per the wishes of the people.

Brexiteers - we have another fun conundrum for you. Do you feel the June 2016 Brexit vote should be seen as legally binding?

A.) Yes.

The 2016 vote was binding and therefore as confirmed, declared null and void for illegality due as per the Electoral Commission's ruling. In which case no doubt you will be pushing for a new binding referendum that is kept within legal guidelines.

or

B.) No.

The 2016 vote wasn't binding and therefore there is no requirement to Leave the EU, merely to take the advice on board, given the vote was advisory. In which case no doubt you will be pushing for a confirmatory and binding referendum.

I find it bizarre how remainers fail to understand that the referendum was advisory but MPs ( of different parties ) decided to accept that advise and vote through ( with a decent majority ) the triggering of Article 50. So Parliament approved of Brexit.

Go on, try it, you might like it.

Which one of the many versions of Brexit, though?

More like Parliamentary rules stopped it, the Speaker just enforces those rules.

Bored of explaining again and again, but briefly... having any future laws on our EU trading relationship determined by genuine consensus, not imposed by Qualified Majority Voting.

Where's the tangible benefit i.e. what EU law has been implemented without GB's approval? At the moment the Brexiteer's main argument is 'leave means leave' and ignores compromise and consensus. What you are talking about is potentail future situations not something that actually benefits people in the here and now.

The point made by yourself ( and dingodan) is that you don't trust Europeans (including our UK elected MEPs) to do the right thing but you are happy for people like Rees-Mogg etc to make decisions for you. Rees-Mogg who still goes out fox hunting despite it being against the law and that 85% of the population want it to stop. He does not believe in consensus , he believes in self improvement at the expense of anyone else.

I don't know your background. I voted remain, not because I believe the EU to be perfect but because I saw no gain from leaving and only risks. i also know that people talking about WTO as way forward really don't understand that few countries rely on WTO , most join some form of trade association. i also know that we will get no favours from the US so staying in a European power block gives us other advantages.

Each to his own I guess.

So they spend forever thrashing out and talking to death a second deal - and then they can't even vote on the bloody thing. What a shameful farce

They will do whatever they can to thwart Brexit. Won't allow the public to give their verdict on this failed zombie parliament, running away from a General election, won't allow a vote when they think they might lose. Also amusing to see so many 2nd referendum remainers supporting the idea that it's wrong to keep voting on the same issue ....
