DUP, the “no surrender” monkeys of the British Isles.
I look forward to the day when the people of Northern Ireland cast a vote for Irish reunification ... just to watch their angry red faces.

The DUP will be voting against the deal, not abstaining. The chances of it getting over the line are receding. So May could be in position for a bit longer.
The longer this drags on the closer we get to a second referendum.
Brexiteers unbelieveably snatching defeat from the jaws jaws of victory.
You couldn’t make this up.

Does the prog get answers to the 48 questions Kate McCann refused to answer when questioned by the police? I'd only watch it if it did.
She will have been guided by the advice of her lawyer. If you watch the documentary you will discover that the Portuguese police in question had form in setting up the parents of missing children. The Portuguese journalist who covered the story had to admit that she was lied to by the Portuguese police, and therefore made unreliable and biased broadcasts, something she was pretty angry about.
Anyone watching the documentary will see many “internet” theories debunked. The evidence suggests that the little girl was indeed kidnapped and the parents were not involved. The McCanns will never really be forgiven for their big mistake, which was to leave the child unattended.

You are being taken for a fool. Best plan is to come to Thailand and have a bit of fun for a few years. Get to know the place. Make an effort to learn the language, it will help you in the long run and keep your brain focused. Make sure you like Thailand before making any long term commitments.

People like Dominic Raab on wafer thin majorities in a Remain town. And Zac Goldsmith in Richmond.
You’re failing to recognise that the UK in 2019 is marginally remainer, and a General Election will see winners and losers on both sides. But the likely outcome will not be a parliament dominated by Brexiteers, it will be a coalition government with Tories on the opposition benches. Why do you think people like Rees Mogg are holding their nose and supporting May’s deal? If you were right Max they’d all be calling for a General Election. The fact they are not should tell you something.

The Leave campaign was conducted as if they didn't have to consider what another side might want ... the EU. It was a case of we get everything that we ask for and they say yes, because they need us more than we need them. So if we want something that means them giving up something that is important them, they will.
A more honest campaign would be to tell people that the only way to get everything that you want is a leave on WTO terms without any transition or future agreement, and explain that would involve many years of legal wrangling with the EU and an immense hit on the economy. But no leave campaigner said that. And the reason they never said it was because they knew that option would not get voted for ... that would be a big vote loser.
Brexit is a lesson on where lies get you!

Gove seems to be the favourite to take over.
JRM has said he will now support May's deal and is asking other ERG members to join him. They are clearly desperate to get some sort of Brexit no matter how bad or half hearted it is. And these people pretend to be following the will of the British people. Pathetic doesn't come close. Snivelling cowards, all of them.
No, I don't agree. Rees Mogg is looking down the barrel of a soft Brexit or worse, or a General Election that could see the Tories out of office for a very long time. Split parties are seldom rewarded by the electorate.
No point committing suicide for a cause, and in doing so ensuring that the cause fails. May's deal offers the best way forward ... what they end up with might just be what the ERG claim to want.
For the life of me I cannot understand what extreme Brexiteers are thinking?

It looks like the whole thing (BREXIT) may well be ultimately canceled as that seems to be what we are inching towards. However, the blow-back from whatever is done either way will be significant. Ironically though, I'm not that sure the rest of the EU wants the UK to stay as it will hamper their lemming style rush towards the Borg collective and will mean lots of UK anti-EU MEPs being elected soon. I think they are happy for the UK to leave, they just want to screw them over for good measure as a warning to others. I think it is clear that the UK should cancel and go back to as was before the referendum or just no deal WTO rules and take it's chances...which is what it was <deleted> asked in the first place.
Loiner is throwing a party on 29 June 2019 to celebrate something that will never happen ... maybe you'll get an invite?

You and I will rarely agree where Brexit is concerned, but I whole heartedly agree with your comment above.
"The Deal" has become a badge of honour.
The question "What is so bad about The Deal" has never been satisfactorily answered.
I'm way past the point of trying to persuade anyone about Brexit, so I just post my opinion.
But if there is one thing that really puzzles me it is the idea that the UK could enter a "backstop" arrangement and never be able to leave it and the further idea that the "backstop" is an EU plot to secure that outcome. So in 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 years the UK will still be in the "backstop", in a Customs Union with the EU but contributing zero to EU activities. And the EU 27 would be happy with that? It just doesn't make any practical sense to me. Most politicians will be long gone by then.
And my other point is that entering the backstop is voluntary, you could just continue how we are and keep out of it, until such time as a final agreement is reached.
The risks that Brexit zealots are taking don't make any sense to me. It's like dying for a cause, thereby ensuring that you never actually attain it.

I always wondered what truth there was in the Bo Selecta comedy show version of Mel B, as a voracious northern dyke sharing a flat with Patsy Kensit. Now we know.

Although I sense sarcasm and belittling, the MPs have done a great job in showing the general public that they donb't care what they think or vote for. They feel superior and know better.
Hence a GE will clear them out and I believe some reform will take place, in the future, with MP's actually listening to the very people who put them where they are.
If I were a Brexit supporter (I confess that I’m not) the smartest move is to back May’s deal. Any other move will lead to a softer Brexit or none at all.
May’s deal is widely misunderstood, and the backstop is at the heart of that misunderstanding. A legal theoretical possibility (being trapped) is a practical improbability. And the option of a future relationship that is outside both the Customs Union and Single Market is still very much on the table.
The worst option is a General Election. May was well ahead in the polls the last time and it all went wrong. The Conservative party membership are not a microcosm of Conservative Party support, there will be many casualties, people like Dominic Raab who have a waver thin majority in a Remain voting area. My view is that we will end up with a coalition government, and at best a much softer Brexit.
My conclusion is that Brexit zealots have lost any ability to think through this issue in practical terms. They won the battle, and now they are going to lose the war.

I thought Brexit was about parliament "taking back control"?
... and now the same people who wanted that are moaning about it?

Yes, because he was motoring too fast ... he can see traffic build up so should have approached more cautiously.

Well, the army seemed absolutely desperate to cling to power and the rewriting of the constitution pretty much assured that. Now, the question is, can Thailand ever get rid of them? Or are they destined to be a backwards moving nation forever?
Not sure about you guys, but this election sure leaves a bitter taste in my mouth in regards to my future in Thailand. A lifetime under these hapless incompetents?
The only upside might be a weak baht over time, as they have more of it to mess the place up.

The wall looks wafer thin. In a tight car park even accidentally hitting the accelerator is unlikely to garner much speed. Pretty poor building standards. Must have been terrifying ... I wish her a speedy recovery!

Britain's May offers to quit to get her Brexit deal over the line
