    Interesting article on WTO, which a lot of people in Britain think would be the best way to trade.

    Defaulting to WTO

    WTO rules default option is entirely unworkable and will cause significant parts of our current international trade to grind to a halt. We therefore either have to agree an all-compassing bilateral EU agreement within the two years, or a transitional deal, or gain an extension to the timetable to prevent significant harm to our economy.
    I very much doubt that the UK will be walking out of the negotiations. It looks like they'll be swallowing the odd frog to get a deal.

    Respect.
    She is a hero who ensured that Parliament will have ultimate control of this whole sorry mess, and the Brexit zealots will not be able to take us over the cliff edge with their half baked lunatic fantasies as espoused in that joke of a white paper.

    Yes. She must be very pleased with the outcome. The judges agreed in her favour. Parliment held a debate and a democratic vote and everything is tickity-boo.

    'Call me old-fashioned,' he says, reaching for what he hopes is a Churchillian tone, 'but when a country decides to go on a radical, uncompromising departure to a new and as yet entirely unpredictable future ... it is a country embarking on a perilous path, and I hope our consciences will not pay for it.'

    So 2 Liberal Democrats (there are only 9 remember), and 4 SNP (out of 54) didn't vote to stop A50 being triggered. I mean for fark sake, tells you all you need to know really about how seriously they take it. I mean if 20% of your MPs can't be bothered to vote on the one policy you are championing above all else. Muppets.

    Damehood in the Queen's birthday honours?

    She can hold hands when Nigel when he gets made a knight of the realm for services to the commonwealth.
