Calling all cars, calling all cars; please be on alert for any sightings of the maybot.

 

It’s operating system has crashed and is now considered unpredictable, unstable and completely unable to perform even the most basic functions. 

 

If spotted please alert the cybernetics department and they will deal with this malfunctioning droid. 

 

Under no circumstances try to approach it, as it now deranged and beyond redemption.

Cheers re " hope the UK leaves " bit..but you should concern yourself re who's next..Italy..France..Holland..even Germany as the long suffering german taxpayers are really getting pi$$ed off with financially supporting subdidy junkie eu member countries.
Watch how voting goes in germany re mep elections..the afb or afd will run riot!!!

That is one of the options. Whatever it is, I hope the UK leaves, so it can get rid if the cancer called Brexit, to return one day as committed member state, accepting our Euro, red passports and straight bananas.

Yesterday I read an article that more and more Europeans, and especially European politicians, are by now completely fed-up with May and UK Brexit politics.

Imagine these Brits would stay in the EU, that would be a total nightmare.

Please go! Anyway you want, just go!

 

P.S.: I am sorry for the younger generation on the islands. Maybe when their influence gets stronger over the years they can apply for a new EU membership - but obviously without all those special extra rules. Good luck!

Maybe you should try to read between the lines. More and more Brits are disgusted by the idea of an extended Eurozone as suggested by Germany and their allies. Even more and more Germans are disgusted, and so am I. 

It's about the money first of all. When East Germans voted for "reunification" they voted for a German DM, not for an Euro. Nobody in Germany was ever asked in a referendum about the Euro (guess the German government knows why) And now the shit hits the fan in the EU. 

Tell me one reason why UK should want to ride a dead horse?

You are not in sync with your glorious leaders, they still want our money, if not ourselves. Have you read Donald Tusk latest tweet "we must be patient" 

They only want your sovereignty. Letting you carry their red passports while you have to swallow their straight European bananas.

Brexit or no Brexit, divorce from Europe will only be temporary.

The UK is not divorcing from Europe. As much as you or the EU would like to think it hasn't engulfed all of Europe. The EU is not Europe it is an entity.

Let’s not forget that East Germans were also never asked about the latest real estate transfer tax law. Actually nobody on Germany was ever asked in a referendum about it. I smell a big conspiracy here.

Are you planning a new European Union with Belarus? 

[luckyluke]

Seems  clear to me, that the E.U. doesn't want to lose the U.K., principally for the money. 

 

Same will apply to any country with an important contribution. 

 

That the British government/parliament doesn't want to go for a hard Brexit can have different reasons. 

 

Leavers and Remainers will of course have different opinions about it. 

 

But still amazed that 48% of the voters wanted to stay in the E.U..

 

Now I know that Leavers and Remainers, will each claim they know the exact reason. 

 

Whatever, still amazing.

Have we got to the bit where the EU starts begging the UK for trade deals?

Luckily there are still a few left and others who would like to leave the EU. You can have Belarus along with Turkey.

 

Why doesn't the wonderful, caring democratic EU give all EU members the choice to leave the EU. Just a couple of years old but relevant. Probably more want to leave now IMO.

Sweeping generalization if ever I heard one! How can you be so sure why the other 17 million people voted for Brexit?

The EU is not going to budge an inch unless TM has something really realistic, the 22nd May was to tie up the loose ends on her deal, and that was conditional that it was agreed by last Friday.

 

Any extension unless she can by some miracle get it accepted in the next few days, will have to be a long one probably June 2020, the risk after 12th April is that if we are not committed EU elections we could actually invalidate the whole of the EU elections by revoking Article 50 which we can legally do if we are still in the EU under Article 50. 

 

As I understand it the writ for the EU elections has to be moved on April the 12th so the can be held May 23rd, Nominations need to be in by April 24/25th.

 

That is indeed your (U.K.'s) ONLY position to put the E.U. on a surprise check mate …. by "sacrificing yourself" to revoking Art. 50 and stay our biggest contributor after Germany …..but read the ECJ. verdict carefully as blocking yourself for a very long time ….

 

Only counter measure to above …. is just E.U. refusing to give any extension …., no reason to give …. and not ruled out in the ECJ verdict , as long A.50 is running until expiring date as it is the default position then...!

EU outmaneuvered UK years ago. Democracy has not been upheld, what a pathetic and insignificant country the country has become !

If you mean lied to as outmaneuvering then yes I agree and they have lied ever since 1975. As pathetic, if you mean the self serving MP's yes I agree again. 

 

Insignificant now you are talking rubbish. They still want our money (contributions) and the waters around the UK for their fishing. They still want the financial services in London and many other tradings. If not they would have said  arviour and Foxtrot Oscar. They have not and weon't. Even the 5 unelected so called EU presidents, have said they want the UK to remain in the EU.

[zydeco]

By the time this is through, you guys in the UK will have Merkel as your prime minister and Macron as your foreign minister. And you'll be standing in line with Greece and Italy to see if the EU will approve your budgets.

It does. Still don’t understand A50? Just don’t complain again when people call you an uneducated and ill informed Brexiteer.

"baiting" - fair enough.

 

"intelligence" - not so much.....

 

Edit - Anyone who relies on insults is far from intelligent.

Amazing.

Exactly, it's the definition of madness, but one has to ask why?
