Not much more to say other than, all we can do is wait to hear our fate.

Which seems to lie in the hands of Macron.

I think these tweet sums a lot of it up from a couple of jaded soft leavers

Iain Martin @ iainmartin1
This terrible farce in Brussels tonight is like being British during the eurovision song contest. British entrant awaits fate, watching humiliating results come in, trying to smile for the audience back home.

George Trefgarne @georgetrefgarne
To be honest I think Buck’s Fizz and Cheryl thingummy would have made a better job of it

My advice: Don't wait up!

Pippa Crerar @pippacrerar
EU source on Macron: "He is in a bit of a schizophrenic situation - (his) domestic audience demands that he is tough on Britain for historic reasons. On the other hand, France is among the most-hit in any no-deal Brexit. It will take hours before we pull him down from his tree."

So Macron may end up being the one who gets the UK what it wants but is doing it to be tough on us. I'm not sure I understand EU politics.

Thank you Red. I mostly lurk but I'm very grateful for your threads.

As is my wont When told not to do something :) I'm going to introduce another non brexit liberal elite snowflake question:
best dickens adaptations? Tv or film...

"I even put up with most of you pissing all over the UK "

Wtf? How are most of us "pissing all over the UK"??

MaudBaileysGreenTurban · 11/04/2019 20:52

Do feel free to make some incisive political comment to get us all back on track, Lucy, if our digressions irritate you so much.

Iambuffy · 11/04/2019 20:53

It's eerily quiet isnt it?
I've even looked at the fb pages of leavers I know fully expecting frothing but....Nothing

Ellie56 · 11/04/2019 20:54

Do people think there'll be protests re still being in the EU on the third anniversary of the referendum?

I dare say there will be a few little rants somewhere. And NF will come out of his cage to make one of his naff speeches.

Iambuffy · 11/04/2019 20:54

To be fair id quite happily piss on some people in the uk....

Have we covered Trumps tweet from this morning?

tobee · 11/04/2019 20:55

It's 31% not mentioned who are the honest ones on TheMShip's graph, surely? Presumably the "I have no fucking idea"'s?

tobee · 11/04/2019 20:58

God what's the incontinent tweeting loon said now dreich?

Was talking to ds about Trump compared to Reagan in his latter days. In those days you could cover up presidential ramblings with no internet.

HazardGhost · 11/04/2019 21:01

born it would be wise to keep your eye out, many reality stars are diversifying their portfolios and wider appeal on instagram...you wont get a Kardashian but maybe a love islander or a Towie 😁

And if we're now a support thread how come no one has picked a degree out for me yet that will qualify me to do a highly paid pt job or highly paid home working? I don't ask much of you lot 😂... I have DP's meds to buy and/or a cure to find

NYT articles on Brexit:
www.nytimes.com/2019/04/11/business/brexit-business.html
www.nytimes.com/2019/04/11/world/europe/uk-theresa-may-brexit.html

I often prefer US press for clear, honest, accurate coverage of UK affairs.

borntobequiet · 11/04/2019 21:03

What is a love islander? Polynesian?

Wenttoseainasieve · 11/04/2019 21:03

@Iambuffy

Great question!

I've got a lot of time for the BBC adaptation of Bleak House from about ten years ago, but the top spot belongs to The Muppets Christmas Carol, and I don't want to hear otherwise!! Grin

borntobequiet · 11/04/2019 21:05

Dear God I hope that comment wasn’t racist.

NoWordForFluffy · 11/04/2019 21:06

Ah, beaten to it, but my vote is also for the Muppets!

The kids watched it for the first time last year and really enjoyed it. Xmas Grin
