The Brexit Thread

Reading the live stream is quite a lol. It's chaotic, with the government whipping votes against their own motion now, after May said it'll be a free vote - more ministerial resignations on the cards, with 1 already gone.
 
Sounds like half the ministers abstained and the government lost by a bigger majority than the Spelman Amendment :ROFL:.
 
At this rate, we'll be leaving the EU, but the EU will never leave us. Wonder what the eventual "deal" is going to be? Any guesses?

Pay attention, NBFTW. She didn't want the Spelman amendment, which is the vote she lost. You know, as it says right there.

No wonder you're confused so often about basic things.

You're asleep if you think May is not over the moon about the prospect of her parliament voting to take no-deal off the table completely.

I know generally you are quite blinded by your biases and blinkers and you never, not once, ever, look in the mirror when you make these obvious errors. But catch a wake-up, May is celebrating this one.

It gives her another excuse to cancel brexit altogether, which has been the plan all along. It would be hilarious if it wasn't so sad and pathetic on two counts:
- sad because fahk the will of the people, they clearly voted wrong anyway
- pathetic because no-deal can not be off the table ever, the moment the inept parliament lets the timer expire no-deal happens, it remains the default position as always

of course that only means they will push hard to cancel brexit instead, what a pathetic, unimaginative, cucked and neutered empire Britain has become *spits*

It's not a secret that she wanted 'no deal' voted down. That was literally the government's (i.e. her) motion.

Prime Minister Theresa May’s motion on Wednesday that “rejects the United Kingdom leaving the European Union without a Withdrawal Agreement.”

She didn't want the Spelman amendment, which passed, i.e. she lost that vote.

Are you physically incapable of admitting you were mistaken?

Again failing to read, she wanted no deal permanently off the table ... shall I grab a crayon? She creamed herself with the passing of the Spelman amendment, guaranteed. You have to learn the difference between what people say and what they want.

More than enough proof against that on this very forum, when I'm mistaken, in this case, you are.

Ah right, so we're back to ignoring what people actually do and introduce in Parliament, and instead relying on what NBFTW dreams up. Carry on.
 
Not quoting as it's in French but Euler Hermes (major credit insurance company) estimates in a new report that French companies lost 6 billion € in exports since 2016 due to Brexit side effects (low £ rendering British companies more competitive, investments slowing down due to uncertainty and lower UK internal consumption).

Just posting the chart about French exports to UK:
Yellow: agro products
Blue: Consumer products
Grey: Professional services
Dark brown: Automotive
Light brown: Industrial goods
Burgundy: Chemicals and plastic
Dark red: Aerospace
Red: Others

May voted against brexit in the referendum, has always been a remoaner, will always be a remoaner. This was evident every step of the way during the purposefully incompetent and dragged out "negotiations".

She's also reported to have planned, together with Merkel, on a meaningless brexit to pave the way for reentry into EU membership.

Those are facts, when a motion is passed that support that position it is not a leap at all to deduce that May would be happy with it.

Only in OD dream land do people only ever do exactly what they say and act exactly in accordance with their goals and beliefs. The real world is not black and white, unfortunately for you, it requires at least a little bit of critical thinking to make sense of all the grey.

Good thing the retarded political class of Britain took no-deal off the table then, we wouldn't want them to use the only leverage they had and end up costing the EU ...
