Westministenders: Deadline Day #1

We have hit another Deadline Day.

As it stands, the EU are looking for more progress. May is digging in her heels by suggesting there is new a requirement for backstop to a backstop. The backstop to all intents and purposes is the GFA. So May is saying in effect, that the EU are forcing her to put in provisions to protect an international agreement we are signed up to, and if we breech it we risk peace in NI.

After lots of noise it seems that the Cabinet have decided to stick by May. For now.

The EU look like they are talking as if their meeting next month will exclude the UK and just go straight to No Deal planning.

There is also other talk of alternatives to allow the UK to stay in the customs union. But theres not much to that and it still doesn't solve the ERG and the DUP problem.

May is vastly unestimating how much the ERG and the DUP want to break the GFA. Which is a huge misjudgment.

There is also talk of the final final Deadline Day actually being Dec 13. For various reasons its not. Thats 29th March.

So Wednesday is Deadline Day #1. Expect more.

Unfortunately one if those who can't make it but very much there in thought and spread the word on SM as much as I could.
Let's hang in there! It ain't over til it's over!

threetrees · 20/10/2018 12:35

why call it the people's vote - you've alread had that one....the Daily Telegraph has a better name for it - they call it 'The Losers Vote'

and that's what it is, a bunch of deluded fools who think overturning democracy is some kind of 'progress'

threetrees · 20/10/2018 12:36

and will poster boy Clegg be there?
LOL, the guy's just stabbd you in the back yet again, now a shill for Facebook, remeber this is the same guy that carped on about it's tax avoidance, stitched up the students to get electes - and this creep is your shining knight in armour!

Quietrebel · 20/10/2018 12:37

threetrees

Are you saying losers aren't people?
Only fascists believe that.

threetrees · 20/10/2018 12:40

the 'fascists' are the ones trying to overturn a DEMOCRATIC vote - won that over 17million people supported!

PortiaCastis · 20/10/2018 12:42

I've yet to read or hear a decent argument for Brexit, just name calling and statements with nothing to back them up

Quietrebel · 20/10/2018 12:42

Fascists shut down debate.
Exactly what you're trying to do.

Quietrebel · 20/10/2018 12:44

Leavers have every right to support brexit.
They have no right to prevent me or others from voicing my opposition to it.

PortiaCastis · 20/10/2018 12:44

Silencing people who have a right to free speech to state their case is fascism

threetrees · 20/10/2018 12:44

LOL that is a joke - most of these types of website just BAN PRO-BREXIT POSTS AND POSTERS

Did I miss the announcement that democracy ended on 23rd June 2016?

threetrees · 20/10/2018 12:47

Qurietrebel: for now, but you know what these websites are like - let's see how long your supposed 'free' speech lasts around here, won't hold my breath

threetrees · 20/10/2018 12:48

RTB: have a light border between NI and South, tweak the GFA as necessary

TheElementsSong · 20/10/2018 12:50

Life’s natural Winner is being persecuted!!! Grin

Quietrebel · 20/10/2018 12:51

The devil's in the details as they say... define 'light border' please

threetrees · 20/10/2018 12:54

same as Scandianvia borders separating Norway off

threetrees · 20/10/2018 12:56

threetrees you won, get over it. You are as entitled to your opinion as millions of people in the UK who think you are wrong Smile

RedToothBrush · 20/10/2018 12:57

tweak the GFA as necessary

The GFA is an international agreement that took years to pass and would require a vote from the people of Ireland and Northern Ireland, to approve it.

Good luck with that before 29th March.

You can not just 'tweak' it.
