Westministenders: Its time to fire the starting gun. At our own heads.

Its time for the suicide. The note will say simply, "The EU made us do it".

David Davies, says that despite May’s assertion that no deal is better than a bad deal for the UK, that actually we don’t know this as he hasn’t got round to quantifying the impact of no deal.

He still has no answers for anything apart from “I dunno” and “I’ll do it later”. I can’t wait for when the dog ate my homework excuse.

After 9 months. That’s how far we’ve got. Brexit negotiation skills will have 18 months (not 2 years as it’ll need to be ratified). We are still hiring people for the Brexit department. What about all these EU agencies that the UK will have to replicate and hire and train up in 2 years time?

I’m still waiting for Davies to tell me what all these potential benefits he keeps going on about are too. Benefits for who exactly? Ah yes we know the answer to this one too, even if its not being said. Its political elites and elites with lots of money who can consolidate power and enslave the population through debt and desperation. Goodie. Just what I’ve always wanted. As long as I can wave my Union Jack. Oh. Shit. Bugger.

Nicola Sturgeon, has been doing a good job of showing Brexiteers exactly what they look like to Remainers by holding up the mirror of irony to the Vampires of the 19th Century State. The sight of them tripping over themselves saying its irrational to hold a ‘blind vote’ and that the economic argument is flawed is hilarious. If you are not British.

Hammond has been forced to u-turn on NIC budget announcement as it was not in the spirit of the manifesto. What happened to the manifesto pledge to the protect interests in the Single Market. Lets be honest, the New Tory Manifesto read simply: “We’ll wing it and see what we can get away with”. I wonder how many people would vote for that.

Its Brexit at all costs. No matter what. We must keep the foreigners out. Even though Davis hasn’t done an assessment on the financial impact of migration. Just think about that for a second. Actually don’t because you might actually want to shoot yourself in the head.

At best the government are still relying on Game Theory as a basis for their negotiations and the EU are already going, “Er we don’t think so”.

Perhaps this is the intention of May’s tour to build consensus. She’s handing out guns and bullets to anyone who displays rational thought, to blow their own brains out.

May’s weakness is her manner and her chip on her shoulder for the law. Her own party are not immune to it. She seems to think trade deals are not done based on goodwill. May’s weakness is Britain’s folly.

Pass the blindfolds round, and get on your knees and await our own execution by our own hands.

Bang.

RIP The United Kingdom and Northern Ireland. I will remember you with nostalgic fondness but equally with bitterness and shame. Our finest hours are long since passed (and were tainted with the excesses of exploitation anyway) and we must accept this as part of the process of ‘accepting Brexit’.

Now its time for the empty hand to start being shown and the blame game to begin in earnest. The politics of hate have only just begun and the divorce has not started yet. Scotland, Northern Ireland and Gibraltar are the kids we might not get custody of.

We’ll be blacking up again, running around groping women like Benny Hill and pushing people back into the closet as we hit the off switch before you know it. As well as having nice shiny new ID cards we’ll have to pay for the privilege of owning and carrying at all times, to prove we aren’t nasty illegal immigrants or those equally nasty legal ones clogging up our NHS (by working for it).

Don’t worry though. Uncle Donny will save us. If he doesn’t die suddenly after eating a bowl of Russia soup or have a fatal heart attack after accidentally falling out of a tenth story window.

I dislike Osborne intensely but I think he would be quite competent on an international stage as PM. May is sooner or later going to find out just how incompetent she is, but she won't even realise it.

RedToothBrush · 17/03/2017 17:20

Osbourne won't have a seat after 2020 if the boundary changes go through. Hence his shelf life is limited. He will not get selection for another seat.

Just re-reading my last post about GO. I sound like I might be his mum making optimistic plans & excuses for him after a bad school report Grin

HashiAsLarry · 17/03/2017 17:25

If I'm right in this, the lurking Boris issue may not be about Boris himself but a personal connection badders

Cailleach1 · 17/03/2017 17:28

In a way, GO was right about the 'punishment budget'. Isn't ca. 60 million being put aside for Brexit by Hammond. When Brexit happens, the following budgets will be punitive. Hitting the most vulnerable disproportionately, no doubt.

I'm inclined to disagree, mistigri, the missing articles combined with the odd Russian word thrown in sounded in my ears rather more like a hammy put-on accent. But I may be wrong.

Yes. Svetlana sounds Russian in the same way that Dick Van Dyke sounded cockney.

RedToothBrush · 17/03/2017 17:38

Loving the body language of Merkel meeting Trump at the White House. She's smirking and he looks very uncomfortable. No handshake. And certainly no holding hands.

Eh? Whats this about Boris ?

Where should we start ?

Is he still mates with Darius Guppy ?

twofingerstoEverything · 17/03/2017 17:42

Actually, Svetlana isn't the only poster who seems to have multiple personalities. One of the other pro-Brexit posters seems to have different personas for this thread and the Barmy Arms.

Arborea · 17/03/2017 17:43

May I please be included in any PM-ing?

LurkingHusband · 17/03/2017 17:44

Osbourne won't have a seat after 2020 if the boundary changes go through. Hence his shelf life is limited. He will not get selection for another seat.

As BoJo himself showed finding a parliamentary seat for one of the chosen few is trivial.

Besides, is there any law that the PM has to be a sitting MP

Interesting little article. I do think all the talk of a united Ireland is premature. I think the very strange current circumstances are contributing to it.

Is it the Darius Guppy thing?

Mind you, I think Johnson could have a trail of corpses in his wake and those that find him a howl wouldn't think any worse him. Pure teflon.

Growing up (1970s) there were 3 things I never thought I would see in my lifetime.

  1. Peace in Northern Ireland
  2. The fall of the Berlin wall
  3. The end of apartheid.

I am now much more careful when considering things that "won't happen" ....

9 MPs have been to May. This is apparently the tip of the iceberg with a Tory MP Geoffrey Clifton-Brown warning that May would be defeated in a vote with the plans in their current form.

Thanks lala

Peregrina · 17/03/2017 17:52

It wasn't considered 'good form' as I recall when Alec Douglas-Home became PM, and a seat was found for him sharpish.

Cailleach1 · 17/03/2017 17:58

Merkel never seems really uncomfortable.

Maybe he is cross with Germany. His grandfather had to leave Germany because he dodged military service. Stripped him of his citizenship too.

Gideon is now facing calls to resign as MP. It also caught May's team off guard. But then, he's only a backbencher, so why should she be informed?

Not really a good week for May, I think.
