My point is that by 19th is would be too late, because the extension has to be approved unanimously by the EU council that meets on the 17th
I am interested for the exact date just to put on my calendar for coming back to the forum.

There will be an election in all likelihood the 15th of October.


You willing to place money on that ? Somehow I doubt it.


No I am not willing to put anything on it.

I don't gamble over the net, sorry.

If I had any doubts left that Johnson has fucked himself and the Tory party, which really I do not right now, then the idea that his strategy is to do what Paphitis would do in such a situation would end any and all such doubts.

The Tories are definately not in trouble. BREXIT is in turmoil yes, but the Tories are sitting on top.

They will win a GE 100%.

They could even get a majority. The are oin the up and up. The people are rubbing their hands together waiting for their opportunity to send Parliament a big message and it isn't going to be very good for the remainers or Labor.

you clearly do not understand politics never mind british politics and a word of advice do not type messages while you are driving for your punter's sake.

manchild is stuck, he canno tpass laws and he cannot even call for an election no matter what insults he hurls at corbyn.

asshole promissed to go to get the best deal from the eu and it would be better than what we had while we were in. well actually corbyn is his best friend, because he could have brought him down by now but he has not because he is a democrat. he wants to give th eman a chance to do what he promissed. what the hell is wrong. can you imagine what he would say if we had an election on the 15th of october and he lost and we blocked him from getting a deal. we don't want that.

i firmly believe you were not born stupid, you must have been dropped on your head when you were born. was your mother standing when she gave birth to you?

Labour have already delivered something. They have delivered the law stopping a default crash out exit on the 31st. Compared with Johnson who has to date delivered nothing but defeat after defeat in the commons and to tear the very heart out of the Tory party.

Oh please, say's the man that does not understand the anger of the British people.

BoJo no longer needs to try to deliver ANY deal with the EU. He just needs to say that he does not have the negotiating power to deliver any good deal. he is free from any expectation to deliver anything other than WTO BREXIT.

Negotiating with the EU is no longer viable since the Coup. he may try, but it isn't going to work too well.

So he is going to go for an early GE and not ask the EU for anything.

Here is another possibility, albeit a very big long shot.

Nigel Farage could be the next PM of the UK with Tories in Coalition, especially if BOJO has martyred himself to the slammer.

The remainers have played with fire and now anything is possible.

In fact, I just can't believe how much they have betrayed their country at the negotiations. BoJo had a plan to hit EU on the 17th of October and I reckon he could have got a reasonable deal, but there is no chance of that anymore.

you don't really know what you are talking about you stupid asshole. no-deal is not an option and will never be an option. if it was an option they should have declared it before the referendum vote ot even when the article 50 was triggered as they have not it cannot be an option.

but there is a non political reason too. stupid people have neem made to believe that if we use that we wil get a better option. when in fact will not. imagine a wife has asked for a divorce. so she has instructed a lawyer to represent her in the negotiations in the proceedings. so the husband says i have an option and if we do not agree on a deal i will walk out of the marriage without a deal. now what will happen in court when the husband says that to the judge. what will the judge do. the judge will award the house to the wife and kids and the huband the mortgage. this is not about buying a car or a house or anythong else. this is a divorce from a union which has lasted for decades and if you thoink you wil be able to just walk away, you are just too stuid to even post to. so from nowi will just ignore you becasue you are simply too stupid to understand.

has anybody seen grumpy these days? i hope he has not thrown hisself under a train or bus or somefink.

I always thought that to become a martyr, one would need to die for a cause. If BJ breaks the law and is jailed, he doesn’t become a martyr, he becomes a convicted criminal! :D

Now, if he were to kill himself before he is sentenced he might just get halfway to martyrdom, but if he kills himself once he becomes a convicted criminal, he will die a convicted criminal. :wink:

A political martyr.

No I don't think he wants to kill himself. he is too headstrong and not the type of guy that will give up easily as everyone can see.

If he becomes a convicted criminal, and that's a big IF, he also becomes a champion of the people.
