Revoke Vs no deal petition summary
Not loading for me at the moment.
I've only just looked at the wording for that pro-Brexit petition
Every single sentence is utterly delusional and/or meaningless gibberish.
Quote:
We are wasting Billions of pounds of taxpayers money trying to negotiate in a short space of time. Leaving the EU in March 2019 will allow the UK good time to negotiate more efficiently. The EU will be more eager to accept a deal on our terms having lost a major partner.
Every single sentence is utterly delusional and/or meaningless gibberish.

They appear to be advocating for economic and monetary union.

Hahhahahahahha. Superb.
Rates fixed at the time of the deal! GBP permanently pegged to the Euro, amazing scenes. Also where do they get the bizarre idea that the Irish border is a currency issue

In fairness, I once handed over the wrong banknote when buying a beer on the ferry.

I signed that petition. Not quite sure what I've signed for, but again the govt need telling.
Fuck, the way things are going I may even vote this year. Would be the first time since the only time I ever voted (the year I was old enough I voted for labour, so 90? 92? Somewhere around then). I got my polling card yesterday, may just use it instead of tearing up and mumbling obscenities about wasting paper.

Parliament is going to debate the petition you signed – “Revoke Article 50 and remain in the EU.”.

The debate is scheduled for 1 April 2019.
Once the debate has happened, we’ll email you a video and transcript.

How apposite.

The government response is the usual "we made a stupid promise and have to keep it or the wolves will get us" piss though:
So essentially, the government are going to do something they know is stupid, and blame people for voting for it, rather than taking charge. Fucking great.
Quote:
This Government will not revoke Article 50. We will honour the result of the 2016 referendum and work with Parliament to deliver a deal that ensures we leave the European Union.
It remains the Government’s firm policy not to revoke Article 50. We will honour the outcome of the 2016 referendum and work to deliver an exit which benefits everyone, whether they voted to Leave or to Remain.
Revoking Article 50, and thereby remaining in the European Union, would undermine both our democracy and the trust that millions of voters have placed in Government.
The Government acknowledges the considerable number of people who have signed this petition. However, close to three quarters of the electorate took part in the 2016 referendum, trusting that the result would be respected. This Government wrote to every household prior to the referendum, promising that the outcome of the referendum would be implemented. 17.4 million people then voted to leave the European Union, providing the biggest democratic mandate for any course of action ever directed at UK Government.
British people cast their votes once again in the 2017 General Election where over 80% of those who voted, voted for parties, including the Opposition, who committed in their manifestos to upholding the result of the referendum.
This Government stands by this commitment.
Revoking Article 50 would break the promises made by Government to the British people, disrespect the clear instruction from a democratic vote, and in turn, reduce confidence in our democracy. As the Prime Minister has said, failing to deliver Brexit would cause “potentially irreparable damage to public trust”, and it is imperative that people can trust their Government to respect their votes and deliver the best outcome for them.

Barry Gardiner has just said on BBC radio that “Labour will whip against the Revoke option as Labour is not a Remain partyâ€.
— Nick🇬🇧🇪🇺 (@nicktolhurst) March 27, 2019
So the 6 million people who signed the Revoke petition..& the many millions more who want to remain the message is clear....
....don’t vote Labour.
But also

There is intense speculation that the Conservative Prime Minister will be announcing her resignation at 5.00 pm. Yet Barry Gardiner, (presumably on behalf of Corbyn), has turned today into a crisis for Labour. That takes some doing.

It's a lot easier to lip-sync animation when the speaker is speaking slowly and drawing out the sounds. In the show, the actor (James Earl Jones, I believe) hams it up big time. "Gooo ahead! Throoooow your vooote away!"
Ah, okay. Well now I think it's distinctly average. Thanks, DP!

One pro-deal Tory backbencher tells me he won't vote at all tonight, because none of the 16 options appeal to him. Says quite a few like him. A Tory mass abstention is the big flaw to the Letwin plan, as will mean any consensus is impossible to identify.

Why do we need to do this? The Leave campaign's plan was perfectly clear and 17.4 million people all knew what they were voting for.

As someone has previously said its the hope that gets you :-(
Latest from May seems to be that she's announced to the party she will leave once this phase is done - who knows (or cares at this point) what that means.

MP tells me Theresa May has told Tory MPs she will hand over the leadership once Brexit is delivered. There it is
— Arj Singh (@singharj) March 27, 2019
So May has just announced she'll resign if her deal is passed. She's really banking on how much her party hates her isn't she?
Bitch should play more mafiascum
Even if she gets the deal over the line and leaves, it's still a poisoned chalice. Would any further negotiations with the EU, let alone with the US or China, be any less one-sided than we've already had?
That’s part of the problem her deal is not a “deal” it’s a withdrawal agreement
It just puts a framework in place for the actual deal to be worked out

I'd suggest that the next phase will be even more one sided.
Now, we still have the option to say "fuck it" and carry on as we are.
Once we're in the transition period that can't happen, so we're then stuck with Backstop or take whatever crumbs they offer us.
Can't get enough of that chlorinated chicken.
The question is now, who the fuck do I vote for at the next election? Anyone got any viable choices?

At that point we (MPs/Govt) will have a choice between shit, shite, crap, bollocks, bullshit, toss, and wank.
