Most likely course now I think is:

- Boris tries to renegotiate the WA
- EU tells him to fack off
- Boris prevaricates threatening no deal
- EU continues to tell him to fack off
- Approaching 31 October the Commons takes control of business and legislate to rule out no deal
- Vote of no confidence called and won
- EU agree to extend due to significant change in political circumstances (which they’ve said they’d do)
- GE called
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Again, you could well be right. It's just such a depressing timeline of chithousery it doesn't bear thinking about.

I think it's more likely he'll end up with a very slightly tweaked version of Mays deal. Whether he'll get that through, I think it'll bbe closer than she ever managed but probably not either and then a lot of what you've put there will kick in.

The EU won’t change the WA.

They’ll discuss changes to the PD, but there’s no way they’re reopening the WA. Not happening.

Mancini is definitely one of those nationalistic diiickheads that think everyone should bow down to the country because centuries ago we had the biggest empire in the world.

This is 2019 pal, Iran are robbing our tankers because they know we won’t do shiiit. And on top of that, we are the yanks stooges and they walk over us whenever they feel free.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You mean he doesn’t agree with your opinion and therefore must be wrong
Thank fecckkk Boris is in, and now let’s back him to get us the fecckkk out of this EU shiiiiteehouse

Nationalists are diiickheads yes, someone that lords this country’s past over other people like it’s some sort of achievement most likely have a tiny willy and tattoos of the cross on their foreheads.

Usually people like that don't want to hear the other side of the story.

The British Empire has definitely played a huge role in facking up the world while at the same time it has helped the world.

Both arguments would have very solid grounds.

Mancini

I've been scrolling through some of the comments since I last posted, and struggling to find a comment from you which was in anyway accurate (other than some truth in regard to passporting).

Maybe it's the heat but I really don't have the energy nor motivation to debate with you due to sheer volume of inaccurate comments. With respect they read like a JRM interview.

You've beat me
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Say it ain't so!

May I suggest you bust out the old Gym analogy? It'll floor him in the 12 round. Not even Mancini could fail to understand the infallible logic of the Gym analogy.

Yes thats my point. He'll end up trying to resell Mays deal.

Any chance of him turning up to the palace later and the Queen telling him to f*ck off?

“The British Empire has definitely played a huge role in facking up the world while at the same time it has helped the world.”

It blows my mind that the people so proud of their country and heritage are so often the ones who are so bothered by immigration - a lot of it caused by centuries of imperialism. It happens in England, France, Portugal etc, and more recently with the USA. All countries which historically have caused the displacement and movement of people.

The colonizer never understands the mindset of the colonized.

Would help if US and UK thought history accurately and honestly. A large portion of Brittish people have no idea what Brittan did to Ireland or India in trerms of famines for example.

Same for the US and how native Americans were treated.

Amd many in both nations support Israel's actions in Palestine which is telling.

Yeah but how many people actually understand what you just said in this post?

There's no hope.

Yeah, sometime last year I had a huge argument with some folk on this site when I said the history education/curriculum in the UK is heavily sanitised and they weren't having that.

There’s an inherent arrogance with people that hold those nationalist sentiments, which is why they are often anti-immigration.

I've spoken to so many Brittish people who had no idea of the damage done during the famine or how it happened. It's not their fault of course.

There is a brilliant Farage tweet thread where he is banging on about how out of order it is to have an anthem and flag forced on you by the EU and quick as a flash someone tweeted;

"Youre going to hate it when you hear about the British Empire"

"Youre going to hate it when you hear about the British Empire"

There was that lady who wrote a book, think it was called the British Gulag or something. She took stick like never before. That's the way it is.
