Westminstenders: Waiting for Sanity

We could be waiting a long time, but that's what we have to wait for as that's what the EU is waiting for.

The EU has requested we expand on our plans for 'alternative arrangements' with regard to the backstop.

We need to do so before the next HoC vote on 14th Feb. The EU see no point in shifting their position before than. And the UK will struggle to provide the info the EU want before then. So there is now some doubt as to whether the vote will go ahead as planned.

About a third of the Cabinet now believe that Brexit will have to be delayed due to legislation not being ready for exit date. However we don't have power over this and we might still exit without it.

There is no Brexit related business next week in the HoC to prevent pesky amendments. The recess has been cancelled but MPs have been told its OK to go on their ski holidays so it's just a PR stunt.

Meanwhile No Deal is in full effect as businesses trigger their exit strategy in the absence of certainty. No Deal is reality for many even if we do have a last minute deal...

We are all about to get poorer. As that's what we voted for.

It's just a crystal ball full of shit

So...you're suggesting that anyone who looks into the future of Brexit Britain will only see...shit?

I couldn't agree more.

OMG guys listen I never realised until maryjoyce turned up but you lot are simply AWFUL! Thanks to you people I've forward purchased and created a sensible doctor endorsed medication buffer for DP Shock SHAME ON YOU ALL. You lot have even made me donate to the local foodbank! Cunts! AND I even care about some of you and send you warm wishes and love AND I hope you all have a FUCKING LOVELY wkend. I should chase you all down, especially red..... and HUG YOU!

Maryjoyce · 02/02/2019 19:30

I can only talk for me though I’m sure most others that voted to leave voted to leave and not do stupid dumb deals that make us worse off than staying.

BigChocFrenzy · 02/02/2019 19:31

And they've allocated £4.5 billion so far for No Deal

Did you read those Yellowhammer documents the Times leaked, maryjoyce - you know the 24 /7 emergency planning
for the emergency you are in denial about ?

NEWSFLASH: Maryjoyce thinks we're better off staying.

UnnecessaryFennel · 02/02/2019 19:31

'pssst - wanna buy the NHS?'

TheElementsSong · 02/02/2019 19:31

Like a riled stream of riled consciousness...

Scandaloso · 02/02/2019 19:31

Well I'm not squandering my cooking sherry just yet. I reckon after two years in Brexitannia I'll be able to barter a bottle of the cheap stuff for a Magimix and my own private island.

Maryjoyce · 02/02/2019 19:35

Unnecessary. It could be I’m not saying one way or the other that I know as i don’t do guessing.
All I know is until we know if we leave with a dumb deal or no deal then what plans need putting in place are useless.
We have a load of wasters in Parliament that should have long long ago sorted things out and not left it till the last few days.
It was always a recipe for disaster sending people that voted to stay to implement a leave deal.

Britain helped to liberate half of Europe. She mortgaged herself up to eye balls in process. No Marshall Plan for us only for Germany. We gave up war reparations in 1990. We put £370 billion into EU since we joined. Watch the way ungrateful EU treats us now. We will remember.

If only he could remember his history lessons.

BigChocFrenzy · 02/02/2019 19:36

The government is absolutely shitting itself over No Deal, ministers threatening to resign and sacrifice theri careers,
rather than be responsible for No Deal

Foriegn governments even outside the EU are warning of total UK government chaos & disfunction, with the UK economy going over the cliff.

Veteran Leave campaigners like Richard North blogging about No Deal catastrophe

Yes, much more reassuring to just BeLeave what Brexit Central tells you and ignore the rest of the world
Stay in blissful / wilful ignorance

Maryjoyce · 02/02/2019 19:36

Hazard. No I don’t think that of course.
I voted to leave end of.
I didn’t vote for deals I voted to leave

Scandaloso · 02/02/2019 19:37

'No Marshall Plan for us only for Germany.'

What a fucking ignoramus. I presume he got owned on Twitter for that gem!

PestymcPestFace · 02/02/2019 19:38

Mary you actually agree with the majority on this thread.

We have a load of wasters in Parliament that should have long long ago sorted things out and not left it till the last few days.

BigChocFrenzy · 02/02/2019 19:39

Yes the Marshall plan myth

The UK received more Marshal Aid than any other country
and chose ....

to waste it on trying to hang on to its Empire

Meanwhile,
France & Germany chose to invest their Marshall Aid in rebuilding their industry, cities & infrastructure

Wow, these treacherous Europeans

TheElementsSong · 02/02/2019 19:39

'No Marshall Plan for us only for Germany.'

Brexiteer tells massive lie SHOCKA - the only thing that will be surprising is if any Leaver doesn't swallow it hook, line and sinker.

Maryjoyce · 02/02/2019 19:42

We have a big bargaining chip if we leave no deal.
They want our 39 billion plus more so not exactly hard to bargain some proper deals if they want there grubby mitts on it.
Do a deal now we are in the shit that’s for sure.
You all seem to miss they export all there shit to us and there business will of course still want to do so after.
Prosecco was a nice example as every other bottle made is exported to us.

BigChocFrenzy · 02/02/2019 19:42

So if some snake-oil salesman of a politician promises that everyone can live to 200 without any aches or wrinkles ....

you'll just vote for that, Maryjoyce and "not bother about the details"

Don't you know the traditional sayings:

"The Devil is in the details"

and
"if a promise looks too good to be true, then it probably is"

Destiel · 02/02/2019 19:42

Gosh mary

so cross and frothy!

You won dear, get over it :)

OhLookHeKickedTheBall · 02/02/2019 19:43

Ah the Marshall Plan myth, second only to the Y2K myth. And nearly always believed by the same sorts of people.

Maryjoyce · 02/02/2019 19:44

Pesty. Yes I do agree as our government are useless.
They bicker and argue like 3 year olds and take one step forward 2 back as they have there heart set on nothing.
I’m not for any party they are all as useless as each other and all in to line there own pockets no better than the one in prison

BigChocFrenzy · 02/02/2019 19:44

maryJoyce The EU27 GDP is about 20 TRILLION Euros
that's 20,000 billion

Our 39 billion is pretty insignificant
Germany alone can make up the UK annual contribution just from its annual trade surplus

TheElementsSong · 02/02/2019 19:45

What, 2 years on, all the things that have happened and somebody still believes in the BMW and Prosecco thing? 🤣

Maryjoyce · 02/02/2019 19:45

Bigchoc. That’s why I said we should leave with no deal. We have a far better bargaining chip after

Scandaloso · 02/02/2019 19:46

'We have a big bargaining chip if we leave no deal.' the brexiters said with a faltering whimper.
