Or at least the four months May deliberately wasted to try and pressure MP’s to vote for her now finally dead deal.

What is dead may never die :)
Reports coming in that MV4 will be next week. A head to head with whatever comes out on top of the indicative votes on Monday. That would explain todays vote as a strategy to gauge support even if they already knew they were going to lose.

Oh dear god, sigh , I suppose I should have expected nothing more from them. :)

Gove is a known, public backstabber. Can’t be prime minister, IMO, unless the rest of his party are even more jackal-like than they appear at present. He had his chance and he forfeited it with seeming enthusiasm.

Right but he backstabbed Boris Johnson :)

True. And from the papers today it seems the party really is jackal-like. So maybe it will be PM Gove after all, the bobble-headed frog.

Anyway, Brexit is ruining something else, too. I’m trying to set a story in contemporary/near-future London, but I have no idea what is going to happen. Could be anything from everything back to normal with the occasional pathetic gilet jaune-style protest on weekends to starveling hordes trying to get through the chunnel while weeping gendarmes machine-gun them.

Story wise, you already know the best answer to this :)

Flaming-hot cheetos! How did you know?

Cheesy Wotsits, surely.

Oh, the Pro-Brexit march is on today.

Spotted so far: MAGA hats, Don’t Tread On Me flags, #FreeTommy yellow pests, a “The EU is planning for the Anti-Christ” banner (your guess is as good as mine) and full coverage by Russia Today.

Sorry for the cancer!

Strange times. I fucking loathe the DUP and Sinn Feinn. Yet I think they are both doing the principled thing here for the people who elected them.

No Qanon stuff? C’mon, guys, keep up!

Why did you vote Leave?

“Because the EU banned asbestos.”

Why would they be weeping?

Unless… Oh… Tears of Joy.

Got it.

playingwithknives · 2019-03-29T20:17:47.071Z

How can you make a protest by ~~chav scum~~ Brexiters even more unpalatable?

Why an Orange Order march of course.

@krishgm Tommy Robinson, UKIP, Ian Paisley Jr all addressing the crowd outside Parliament today for #LeaveMeansLeave Orange Order also made an appearance banging their drums & playing their flutes! If this is Democracy it's bloody overrated! #RevokeArticle50

I wish they wouldnt call Stephen Yaxley-Lennon by his fake name, Robinson. These guys are full on white supremacist/far right borderline extremists/terrorists. UKIP twitter is run by an alt right wanker who was tweeting about cucks today.

If JRM and his merry band wanted to have any credibility they’d denounce this lot loudly and publically. Of course they don’t. Which tells us everything we need to know about them.
