Brexit Arms - Pop Up

[time4chocolate]

Well I’m going to have a crack at this Landlady business and I’ve opened a pop up pub.

Rules are:
Anything brexit related is up for discussion and even not Brexit related if you feel the need (so if you want to discuss Haemoroids that’s ok too ).

I’m ok with a bit of arseyness (it’s an emotive subject) but if you go full monty in here I reserve the right to withhold all alcoholic beverages.

I have reserved a quiet table for MNHQ if they want to pop in for a quiet drink (Happy Hour is 6-7pm).

Haven’t properly caught up yet with today’s Brexit news yet but looks like we are finally facing end game, that said still plenty of days left for high jinks and holidays.

Anyone have any views on how they think the next few days will play out are welcome to voice here.

First drinks are on the house 🍻 Cheers

Am expecting there will be an extension but still hoping for revoke.

Hoping for Revoke. It was all a ridiculous idea that's just spun out of control.

I’ll have a house red please new landlady, and one for your good self! Cheers! 🍷

Fingers crossed we all realise it was a bit of a silly mistake

Any thoughts on the emerging Bercow Scandal? I think it’s outrageous tbh!

Dreaming of revoke but it’s not happening right now, about as likely as unicorns. But hoping for long extension, let the situation calm down if possible and discussion being done by some grown ups. It’s been the same lot (erg) till now which is why we’re so screwed. Pint of ale please

Good to see The Brexit Arms open under new management. I’ll have an Aperol spritzer. It reminds me of happier days on my holiday in Lake Garda.
I can’t hold my drink well. I may be seeing a few unicorns by the end of the night 😊

Bercow scandal do tell mustardcushion

Is any music allowed? Some Brexity type of sing along tunes perhaps?

Bercow 'scandal'
Complete load of bollocks. he is only directing discussions, he does not do any voting (apart from situations where there is a 'tie' so he cannot really pull discussions significantly.

Its funny how the EU used to pretend they might not give us an extension, if we behaved badly. Now they are trying to force us to have an extension whether we want one or not. I guess after a few drinks they are showing their true colours. Come on Boris.

Adding 2 and 2 to make 5 as usual. there are 28 countries in the EU and differences of opinion are allowed. Just as not everyone in the UK is called Boris who has liasons with quite well endowed Blondes.

For those who are not yet aware...

Bollocks? Hmm. Why is he ‘directing discussions’? Who gave him that authority? Why?

Just wondering about adding Baileys to hot chocolate, it feels like the right thing to do, what with it being cold, dark and raining, fairly sure it has antibacterial properties

@Walkingdeadfangirl they’re really not forcing anything, they just realise that no deal is incredibly damaging to everyone. What you chase is actually a mirage imo that in reality is a far right dystopian nightmare. I think that’s the reality of it.

“fairly sure it has antibacterial properties”

I have it on good authority, that this is 100% scientific fact.

“Is any music allowed? Some Brexity type of sing along tunes perhaps?”

Hotel California?

Perhaps a bit of - You Can't Always Get What You Want 🦄

Not really sure EP speaker meeting HoC speaker is very scandalous (even if the Telegraph claims otherwise).

I didn’t read it in the Telegraph, it’s all over twitter, that’s just the first Youtube link I found to share for you all. You’re welcome.

But if we end up with another short extension, then surely we need a GE or another referendum or a game of rock, paper, scissors to get some sort of movement on Brexit ?

Or we Revoke.

But Cummings is running our country cushion. Who gave him the authority? Do you feel he has the best interests of our nation as a priority?

I listened to the link. Can't see the problem. The Speaker's job is to ensure Parliament has its say .

Time

Hope you have a successful career as a landlady! & lets hope there is a very long extension to 'happy hour' lol!

How do you feel about BJ's comment that climate change protesters are "crusties and live in hemp smelling biovacs" ?

Considering his families and GF views, i was somewhat surprised as one possible benefit of brexit is higher environmental and climate change standards.

Frumepty I'd go with the rock, paper, scissors, it's as logical as anything else at this stage. Out of 3 maybe or is that undemocratic? Better still ye could go heads or tails..

From Parliament.uk

“Impartiality
The Speaker must be above party political controversy and must be seen to be completely impartial in all public matters. All sides in the House rely on the Speaker's disinterest, and understand that he or she must stand aside from controversy. Accordingly, on election the Speaker resigns from his or her political party. During a General Election the Speaker will still need to be re-elected, but is unlikely to be opposed by any of the major political parties. Speakers do not stand on political issues, but as “the Speaker seeking re-election” and do not campaign.
Assuming the office of Speaker will, to a great extent, mean shedding old loyalties and friendships within the House. The Speaker must keep apart from old party colleagues or any one group or interest and does not, for instance, frequent the Commons dining rooms or bars. Even after retirement, a former Speaker will take no part in political issues, and will sit as a Cross-Bencher if appointed to the House of Lords.”

Remember now no sock puppetry( just learnt the meaning of that word)
I think Boris would happily lock his family up and throw away the key at this stage.
