I suppose that Theresa May still thinks the EU will blink at 22:50 on 29th March.
Because her judgement has been impeccable up till now ?
With the obvious caveat that no one can really be sure how subjective their predictions are, I'm generally not a "grump". And in that vein, my feeling that we are going to head into a no deal is based on the data available - and a dispassionate reading of it, sprinkled with a touch of the sensibilities I have picked up growing up around people who aren't British, but Italian, French, Irish, Swiss, and Spanish (my godfather being half-English like me, but also half-Basque, whose mother was thrown out by Franco for being a lawyer).
All of which make me believe all this talk of an extension (which is almost exclusively in English now) is based on a complete misreading of the situation and facts as they are.
Yes, there could have been an extension - we know this because it was discussed by the EU side publicly. We also know that the EUs "Brexit formation" of National Governments->EU Commission->Barnier has held rock solid (much to the UKs annoyance). Which meant that talk of an extension wasn't pie in the sky at that point.
Then Theresa May - having managed to get everyones back up - disappeared and astounded the EU by failing to get the deal - the only deal she said the UK could accept - through parliament.
That's the point at which I believe the EU realised that the UK was not ever going to pass the WA.
Now if the EU were being run by the Tories, I can easily believe they'd cynically offer as extension, just to but more time to prep themselves. But - luckily for the EU27 and unluckily for the UK - you really would have to travel a long way - in time as well as space - to come up with the current shower we have "in government". So no - I don't see the EU suggesting any extension. Yes, they would probably like more time. Who wouldn't. But not at any cost.
Once we remove the distraction of an extension, what are we left with ? A UK parliament that has now boxed itself into some weird mobius strip or Escher drawing of perpetual motion. Quite aside from the parliamentary gymnastics required to get an unamended WA into parliament again, there's the uncomfortable fact not yet contemplated that a parliament that can go from a defeat of 230 votes to a victory with nothing actually changing is going to be a laughing stock in primary schools for years to come.
If we must persist in stupid "blinking" analogies, then the WA being passed would be a sign that the UK blinked. Again something that goes to the core of the entire Leave argument. Any Leave MP who did vote for the WA is admitting the UK is against the wall. Which we know they simply cannot do - even if they actually believe it.
Tick tock, tick tock.
All that needs happen for no deal to happen is nothing. And that is exactly what we are seeing being played out ... Much Ado About Nothing.
I'm not a big fan of using military similes, but since we've had to endure a deluge of Leaver bullshit about "the war", perhaps it's the only language they understand. But if we are to play the "it's a war" mind game they so love to, it's worth reminding ourselves that long before the end of the Third Reich was a real possibility, Churchill and Roosevelt agreed that it would have to be prosecuted to total defeat, and that only unconditional surrender (i.e. no "extension") would do. And even while that was being planned, there was consideration for innocent of Germany - the trapped civilians who had no choice in their position.
I really can't be bothered to bookend that with contextual filters - I'm sure posters here will get my drift even if they disagree. If the UK won't agree the WA, then the EU has already countenanced no deal as the safest way forward.
I have to admit that the conduct of France in particular throughout the past two years has been the model of diplomatic restraint. If only for the reason that they would have every right to declare de Gaulles resolute opposition to the UKs entry to the EEC as vindicated beyond belief. I'd be curious if his stock has risen of late ?
