What's in the news?

This is the kind of people on the ‘Brexit Betrayal’ march today. 

The noose is for the ‘traitor’ May.

Saw this one as well, utter scum.

 

[lifted*fox]

700,000 men, women, kids & dogs of all nationalities come together to march for the EU / People's Vote in London. Teachers, nurses, carers, etc. They bring witty placards and a positive attitude with little need for police intervention. 

 

Approx. 2000 people gather in support of Brexit. I don't need to point out the very obvious lack of diversity in their miniscule ranks. Says it all, really. And they threaten violence on the streets if Brexit is betrayed. Good luck with that, sure the numbers will be huge.

Can see @Webbo being very confused about this new political thread being created towards Brexit and the other massive ones closed if he comes back..

[Max Wall]

Which has the most, Puel out threads or bring back Webbo threads?

It's not been without its laughs though. Apparently the stewards had to tell some veterans to lower their banner as you could barely see Tiny Tommy's head over the top of it

You should start a protest movement against them.

My prediction.

Mrs may fails to get her deal through, she goes back to the EU and begs for scraps, they oblige, parliament afraid of a GE, or another referendum or a No deal accepts the 'new deal'.

European Court rules that UK can withdraw Article 50 notice to leave unilaterally without the EU imposing any conditions or needing to be consulted:

Would even apply if the 29th March deadline is extended, apparently - but not if the agreement is ratified and we enter a transition period.

 

Any such revocation would have to result from a democratic decision in the UK: election, referendum or vote in parliament (not just a govt decision, presumably - unlikely as that is, anyway).

 

Bloody European Court, standing up for British democratic interests and imposing its decisions on the EU27. The EU27 need to take back control. EUxit now!

That's what I think will happen now. Seems the most logical outcome.

Twitter has suspended Titania McGrath - one of the best satirical accounts it has. The bastards!

[Countryfox]

News today ...    this is the right thread isn’t it ?

 

Dont know why women keep moaning about this ...    if you don’t want to look like a cartoon character then don’t get it done ! ...     but if you really insist on doing it then smack yourself in the chops with a hammer ..    much cheaper !     Hang on ..   I can see a business opportunity here ! ...

Logical?  Our mp's? our parliament?  I might have to reconsider my prediction.

I've only just clocked her.  She's really funny.  Crime to suspend her

To be fair, it was a Tommy Robinson March no?  I am pro Brexit and indeed no deal from here, but have no interest in his views or motivations and would never in a million years attend a rally he supported or organised.  So that is probably what is behind it.

Meanwhile in Germany the CDU has elected as leader, and potential future Chancellor, a Catholic who is against marriage equality and giving gay couple full adoption rights.  Shame.

So they’re going to postpone the vote tomorrow night then? Nice

Bonkers it's taken this long, I still want to know what the hell the idea was of it and whose votes they expected to get it through on.
