Reply to: UK can unilaterally revoke article 50

He was only obeying hors d'oeuvres.

Are you saying he's a bit of an agi-tater?

[Old Greg]

Even as we speak he's forming the Queen's Own Obese Imbecilic Motorised Mobility Scooter Regiment.

Not to forget an army potato peeler with the rank of private, who set up the entire GSM network in India single handedly

I say Tereza cancels Brexit, revokes A50 and be done with it.
Anyone against?

Plan B: Airbnb style app where garage owners register their locations (for a fee), creating an instant distributed warehousing facility for all the stuff we'll need to stockpile for post 'no deal'. Government will pay millions for that database soon. Kerching.

And providing a ready made location database for crims
Not a bad idea though, just think through the security.

I'm prepared.

Cleared out my garage to rake in the cash when the government needs emergency stockpiling locations as all the warehouses are full of crimbo tat.

A pity we are not preparing for no deal.

Seems par for the course. No preparation for a Brexit "yes" vote. No preparation for a no deal.

I have. I would welcome it

"No deal" was agreed by parliament last year.

It won't be agreed by parliament next week though...more's the pity...

[minestrone]

May and her supporters will put it to the country, the significant number of true remainer MPs in both tory and labour camps would agree to it if they get a remain option.

If May and all the faux brexiters (Gove, Bozo, ...) really wanted out they would have been planning for 'no deal' as a last resort from day one so not reliant on getting a good deal from the EU, not the 'anything is better than no deal' they are now filling the media with. What has happened to May's 'no deal is better than a bad deal'?

There is no appetite for a majority 'no deal' in parliament any more than for May's deal, so remain it is. Though as you say there may not be time to get to a 'remain' through before March 2019 so would have to rejoin on new terms, kicking off yet another round of discord.

That's the way I see it currently.

The moment we took no-deal off the table, the EU knew they had won.

No deal isn't off the table, it is the table as of 11pm on 29th March 2019.

The politicians will piss about playing politics and the default will be no deal. Cue billions being poured into getting various IT systems in place 'overnight' to handle the new scenario. It will make Y2K contract rates look like chicken feed.

Bring it on.

If that's metaphor for sending civil servants to do our negotiating, it's an appropriate one. I've yet to encounter a civil servant who can wipe their own backside. The moment we took no-deal off the table, the EU knew they had won. It was then only a matter of twisting the knife (which as you say, we had helpfully provided them).
We should have sent some real negotiators - I would have sent Claude from The Apprentice. One withering look from him and Barnier would have taken us seriously from the start.

No the blunt pocket knives were David Davies (who couldn't organise a piss-up in a brewery- I daresay May knew that ), the rubbish British economy which doesn't make enough stuff and relies on finance, the ultras in the Tory party and finally thick as mince Brexiters who believed in fairy tales.

Given the impossibility of the brief, the deal they've come up with reasonable-ish all things considered. Far worse than remaining of course but that's what I mean by beleiving in fairy tales.
