Big week ahead.

Johnson has until Tuesday Afternoon to get his shit together for the EU.

He thinks it can be down, but still lots to do in that time.

This week we have the Queen's Speech too, which is going to be misused as a party political broadcast.

Remember if the government can't pass the QS, there's a crisis that gets generated as a direct result. Sticking in proposals that any liberal or leftie will struggle with, is deliberately provoking a crisis of that nature. A proposal of that type would have to be anti democratic in nature, like... Ermmm... Voter ID. Hell, well what do you know.

Johnson is still after his election because as it stands he's a passenger stuck in the runaway train of his own creation.

Talk of a deal breakthrough is still overstated too. The DUP and many of the usual ERG suspects have poured water on the idea. And many on the opposition benches are pushing hard on a confirmary ref being needed for a deal - they don't have the numbers yet, but talk is that they are close. We also have loyalist military making threats about an Irish Sea Border solution.

Time for Project Shit Meets Fan.

I''m just wondering how those of us at the march will get to hear about the debate. Given that mobile signals are likely to keel over, is it going to be in like the Life of Brian?

I swear at spotify whenever a brexit advert comes on when I'm running. It really pisses me off that my escape is marred by propaganda.

Drove me to pay for premium so I could get it AD free after I yelled ‘bollocks’ really loudly in the park when walking the dog and startled a passing jogger.Blush

OhYouBadBadKitten · 16/10/2019 17:42

Just another hidden Brexit cost Sad

BercowsFlyingFlamingo · 16/10/2019 17:44

Does anyone have a timeline for what happens next? I'm totally confused.

MockersthefeMANist · 16/10/2019 17:45

I swear whenever a brexit advert comes on...

"Am I Ready for Brexit?" You're spending my money to tell me it's my fault nobody's ready for the scatological deluge?

cherin · 16/10/2019 17:47

For those who need some light, non alcholic and non-calorific diversion in the meantime....

(It’s not a very grown up way of thinking, but whenever I see MF I think of a primary school mate that was famous for digging and eating his own boogies. There. I’ve said it)
Hideous person, MF

I used to love him when he was voiced by Terry Scott

Basilpots thank you for your beautiful dissections of the polls - really, really useful to know what's behind the numbers rather than just taking the numbers completely at face value.

Dontlickthetrolley · 16/10/2019 18:07

@tobee 🙋‍♀️another one here who shouts Fuck Off to Brexit ads

Ellie56 · 16/10/2019 18:13

I wonder if the annoying Brexshit ads will quietly disappear if it becomes clear that we won't be leaving on 31st.

prettybird · 16/10/2019 18:18

No.....extra cost will be incurred while they change the date to whatever the extension is and continue to air them at our expense Angry

MockersthefeMANist · 16/10/2019 18:21

One way to leave on October 31 would be to revert to the Gregorian Calendar.

Basilpots · 16/10/2019 18:21

Thank you Pointy.

Lack of don’t knows, and lack of clarity about who and who isn’t included in the numbers can be so misleading it drives me nuts. Just glad somebody other than me finds it useful.

tobee · 16/10/2019 18:29

Just been out food shopping and been listening to a bit of Roddy Frame so now I'm feeling chilled:-

NoWordForFluffy · 16/10/2019 18:30

DH and I do the 'Fuck off!' thing at the TV too. Shit adverts.

How many Labour MPs would defy the whip to vote for the deal (I assume it'll be whipped)?

prettybird · 16/10/2019 18:30

From these threads, I've learnt always to seek out the data tables and see the stats for myself Smile .....also because they rarely extract the Scottish numbers (although the numbers are usually so low as to be statistically highly unreliable Confused), so it's the only way of seeing how the land lies in Scotland (in between the rare Scotland only surveys Wink)

user1471453601 · 16/10/2019 18:31

@MockersthefeManist, I laughed out loud at that. No tea in my mouth so I didn't snort on to my keyboard. A bit of wine in my mouth, but nothing is funny enough to waste wine for.
