oh, havent we had a Brexit thread today ?
or is this ........ an early riser for tomorrow ?

I mean all the Brexiters here must be committed christians
because the brexit threads rise again every day - - - ter daaaaah !

[retrocop]

What do ya expect? It's nearing Easter!

The Department for Brexit was heavily biased full of ardent Brexiteers by design. May realised that fulfilling the referendum mandate was electorally advantageous (even if she was not a fully committed Leaver herslf ).
The fact that between them, they could not concoct anything even vaguely coherent, is no May’s fault. She gave them enough rope, but the refused to be hung.

didn't fool me, I always knew with most of parliament being quislings we'd end up with a Vegan organising the worst of all BBQs

[youngmafbog]

Hear hear TTT

[ToraToraTora]

our only weapon was to be prepared to walk away with no deal. Early on they let the opposition know that they were too gutless to do that, hence they allowed the EUSSR to tub guff us on prime time. I assume none of them play poker. gutless, quislings.

[Zacs-Master]

When’s no deal happening now then, trigger?

[jno]

of course your predictions have all come true, TTT

I'll show my aris in Harrods window if Boris is not the next PM.

it did raise a few eyebrows jno!

[Zacs-Master]

Tora over the last few days:
‘we'll be out in three days’
‘It's Official, We Are Out!’
‘The EU appears to be settling for no deal’

[ToraToraTora]

dunno JM, I suspect never, I expect we'll end up staying now.

[Zacs-Master]

And how do you feel about that?

[jno]

I think they're all calmly resigned to their fate and accepting it like true British gentlemen, ZM.

[Zacs-Master]

There’ll be lots of ‘Gercha’s down the Nags Head tonight.

[Zacs-Master]

The OP titles puts me in mind of the song ‘Tears of a clown’ (which is strangely apt in itself):
‘Now if there's a smile on my face
It's only there trying to fool the public
But when it comes down to fooling you
Now honey that's quite a different subject’

[-Talbot-]

Was someone watching BBC4 last night?

[Zacs-Master]

Not me.

Didn't need much rigging. Her actions meant genuine Brexiters had to resign from the Cabinet on principle, since they couldn't support staying in the EU against the expressed wishes of the people. After that, with sufficient 'yes men' around her, she could then try whatever she desired. The problem was getting wider support. Her, "try to make it look like an exit but it clearly isn't", strategy was doomed to 'fall between two stools', be worse than doing nothing, and appeal to neither democrats nor those wanting to overturn democracy and get their own way. Her ignoring of red lines as she capitulated to, and agreed with, the EU must reward her with infamy in future history books.

You know what’s boring? The constant cries of treason!!

It's just Yorkshiremen trying to explain t'reason in their bluff and straightforward way.
