Thought I'd start a new thread as this is going to be a major talking point this year...have not made up my mind yet...(unlike bucksfizz)....but thinking of voting for an exit as Europe is not doing Britain any good at all it seems....

200 for me please, Dilbert.

Bit optimistic for you isn't Hils ?

And if it's ok with you I'm off to the pub with a couple of mates for lunch at 1 and bit of sheep shagging after :-)

Dil 148

Diane Abbott 2 trillion

Hils 200

Stan (ringing a friend for help with the question)

Don't forget to take some photos.

:o)

Who is this Hilary impersonating a CNG?

Me 218 Dil. Stan needs more information and will come up with a number tomorrow.

Whatever the figure is, it won't say much for the bunch of incompetents in government.

It was on the BBC so must be true.

There's a big problem facing members of Parliament who want to avoid a no-deal Brexit. They can't just show there is a majority in the House of Commons against no deal - they need to prove there is a majority in favour of an alternative outcome.
That's because leaving the EU - with or without a deal - is currently the default.
If the agreement the prime minister has negotiated with the EU fails to pass the House of Commons, the UK will leave with no deal at all unless something changes, because leaving the EU is written into UK law.
The EU Withdrawal Act sets 29 March as the date of departure.
The wording of the act does allow a minister to change the definition of "exit day" relatively quickly using a statutory instrument - a piece of secondary legislation - rather than an entirely new act of Parliament that would need to be debated. A minister would have to propose the change and MPs would have to approve it.
Article 50
But there is a second and more significant reason why no deal would become the default position: that's what EU law says.
Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty is the formal route for any country leaving the EU and it allows for a two-year process of negotiation. At the end of that period "the treaties shall cease to apply to the state in question" unless Article 50 is extended or revoked.
The most obvious way therefore to stop a no-deal Brexit, or any form of Brexit, is to revoke Article 50.


The question is would Teresa May dare after all that Brexit means Brexit palaver?

Off for a meaningful pint down the Nuclear before the withdrawal agreement at the close.

Vote lost 230 votes, informed referendum and remain wins.

What a complete and utter waste of time and money.

The exercising of parliamentary democracy can hardly be described as a waste of time. The theatre goes on. I want the box set.

Do you mean the conservative club fees or blood donors?

Donors to the bribery funds seem to be needed!
-=-=

Manuel, Dil and IT, must be in the Brewery waiting for the party.

What for two and a half years? M the Joker.

Well that's Mrs Mays shitty deal well and truly binned.

Can't wait til we leave with no deal and Scarlett Johansson turns up on my door step.

Happy days :-)

Dil repeat after me, we are not leaving Europe...we are not..

73 days to go Stan and she's running the clock down nicely.

29th March from here on in will be known as Scarlett day :-)

Barny and Junky must be suicidal this evening , EU skint unless they come up with a proper offer.

Stan what is a waste of time is the 2 1/2 years you have spent trying to understand the question.

Martini.

You must have been at the brewery party.
=-=-=-

Still, in the EU, the con party consigned to the compost heap and the tax man with the next labour party looking for pickings.

Watch out the men in white coats are looking for you.

PS..

Is this what the Brexiters were promising.

FRANKFURT (Reuters) - More than 45 financial institutions are planning to newly establish themselves or significantly increase their presence in Germany as a result of Britain’s planned exit from the European Union, a German official said on Tuesday.

The figure was announced by Felix Hufeld, the president of Germany’s financial markets watchdog BaFin. It marks the most up-to-date and authoritative indication of Brexit’s impact on Germany’s financial landscape.

Among banks that announced plans to relocate some of their EU operations to Frankfurt are Citigroup (C.N), JPMorgan Chase (JPM.N), Morgan Stanley (MS.N), and Standard Chartered [STANB.UL].

In August, Hufeld said that Germany was processing more than 25 banking licences.

Hufeld also called on Tuesday for greater coordination in Europe in the fight against money laundering.

“For me, money laundering preventing is an absolutely urgent task,” Hufeld said. “A better coordination in Europe is necessary.”
