So Brexit seems to be a good thing then.

On a side note, the woman who gave the speech is the leader of the AFD and is currently tired up in a scandal in the town where I live close to the Swiss border. The local AFD group received illegal foreign funding via Switzerland and the funding was illegally smuggled across the border, this part is not in question. The bigger question yet to be proven is if the leader herself organised this illegal funding and was even the person who carries the cash across the border. The incident occurred at the time she attended a local rally and in the days before she was known to be in Switzerland.

This is what 6million clicks gets you https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/241584
Any comments?
Remember this if you ever bother to vote in a forthcoming election

this is a pretty good summary of where we are...humiliating but true.

Oxford University researchers have discovered the densest element yet known to science.
The new element, Governmentium (symbol=Gv), has one neutron, 25 assistant neutrons, 88 deputy neutrons and 198 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312.
These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called pillocks.
Since Governmentium has no electrons, it is inert. However, it can be detected, because it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact.
A tiny amount of Governmentium can cause a reaction that would normally take less than a second, to take from 4 days to 4 years to complete.
Governmentium has a normal half-life of 2 to 6 years.
It does not decay, but instead undergoes a reorganisation in which a portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places.
In fact, Governmentium's mass will actually increase over time, since each reorganisation will cause more morons to become neutrons, forming isodopes.
This characteristic of moron promotion leads some scientists to believe that Governmentium is formed whenever morons reach a critical concentration.
This hypothetical quantity is referred to as a critical morass.
When catalysed with money, Governmentium becomes Administratium (symbol=Ad), an element that radiates just as much energy as Governmentium, since it has half as many pillocks but twice as many morons.

very good interview with Ivan Rogers - he tells like it is, worth a watch/listen
weird but not hearing much about "BMW / Prosecco - we will get the best deal because they need us" yada yada yada
although still the same "immigrants are rapists" - which is nice
but tbh I only went back a few pages of utter fvcking drivel from Brexidiots - but glad to see the same souls fighting the good fight debunking the utter Brexit nonsense

A very interesting piece from the perspective of a Brexiteer!
His comment at the end about how many Brexiteers have now changed their minds but are too proud to admit it is quite on the point. Many comments I've seen on my Facebook feed from Brexiteer friends also seem to hint at that way of thinking while still waving a Brexiteer flag! Interestingly, many of the most vocal Brexiteers on here have gone very quiet lately, I wonder if they have just given up arguing on here or perhaps are somewhat less convinced by their own arguments as the reality of Brexit becomes more apparent?

If Article 50 were revoked, or a another referendum was held and Remain was the outcome, I'm sure we'd hear all about being 'betrayed' by the establishment, but I would be interested to hear Leave voters talk about the betrayal of the people who told them the lies, who said that leaving would be easy, that we would have all the new trade deals as well as the EU deal done in two years. What about the betrayals of Dyson and Sutcliffe, who clearly had so little faith in UK they moved so much out of here. The betrayal of people like Rees Mogg who turned to vote for a deal which, in his opinion. was so bad that he held a champagne party when it was defeated.

Looking like new year then - with the possiblity to extend if we like it ....haha
THAT is what you get if you leave it to last second brinkmanship - Well done brexiters
And now the dup are at the extortion game, again.

and we have the growing spectacle of the UK siting outside an EU meeting in the lobby with the pot plants whilst the EU 27 make the decisions - an increasing application of simple observable measurable reality
edit - the below has already been posted, but always worth a reminder
even arch Brexiteer Peter Oborne has recognised this reality - the Leave campaigns sold a fiction
