Both Nathaniel and Mogg are correct. To paraphrase.
Daniel - 'If the French wished to bugger us around there would be a queue from here to Inverness'
Mogg - 'It's not in the French interest to bugger us around'.

Brexit? How, what why, when, where and if? Time to revert to our capitalist roots perhaps and open a book on whether it happens.......what odds would other forumers give it?
No cheating!
Do nothing and nothing happens.

A slightly different proposition, but Skybet are offering 5:2 on another referendum. I won a fiver on predicting the outcome of the last one but, as they say, when it stops being fun - stop.

It's going well, isn't it? And there was me thinking it would all be easy.

UK House of Commons
Verified account @HouseofCommons
House of Commons votes 326 to 301 to reject Lords amendment 37 which relates to the exit date.
The #EUWithdrawalBill fixes date of the UK's exit from the EU at 11pm on 29 March 2019.
Woo Hoo. It's almost Independence Day. Take it away Van the Man.

It has been two years since the Referendum and nothing has been agreed, we have now a mere 9 months to avert a disaster.

Just because you don't take an interest in politics doesn't mean that politics won't take an interest in you. PERICLES.

Much as I regret having to rebuke a man of the cloth he has resigned only as a minister and will remain an obscure MP for the foreseeable future.

Indeed, I didn't intend that to mean that he had done anything other than resign to the obscurity of the backbenches. I can see how #1946 is also obscure in its meaning...the good lord moves in mysterious ways and I try to follow his lead too.

So, from what I can take from yesterday's session is that we will not now be leaving without any deal. Whatever happens now, I take that as some form of progress.

jezza or his chosen front man is walking into number 10. 2022. I don't see the Tory core voters bothering to vote again for this bunch of backstabbers.

With the state of negotiations I cannot see how this taskforce can actually come up with any plans. I note that they envisage a boost for our freight forwarders.

Why would it be unworkable, considering it was the European parliament recomendation?
