Nothing to worry about. You won't need them after the upgrade.

No. Churches will be quieter, people with colds will have messy faces and all Prisoners will become free-range.

I really don't want to read or hear about the government's 'no deal' documents. I know I should, but I'll only get sad, angry, and it'll probably ruin the bank holiday for me.

Would someone braver than me have a peek and post an appropriate GIF that sums them up?

I mean, I haven't read it either but I'm willing to take an educated guess here:

The BBC has a very basic summary - this is the one that caught my eye ....

Quote:
New picture warnings will be needed for cigarette packets as the EU owns the copyright to the current ones

We don't need warnings! We could just have a picture of Nigel Farage on each packet instead.

It really does make your head hurt sometimes.

http://politics.co.uk/blogs/2018/08/23/ ... al-announc

Theresa May should have the courage and decency to tell the truth, and say that in good conscience she cannot lead the UK into either a deal, or a no-deal scenario, as it is her duty as Prime Minister to defend the interests of the British people from self-immolation.

Future of third planet from sun not in doubt despite no-deal.

Guardian wrote:
The prime minister said: “Look at what the director general of the World Trade Organisation has said. He has said about the no-deal situation that it will not be a walk in the park, but it wouldn’t be the end of the world.
“What the government is doing is putting in place the preparation such that if we are in that situation, we can make a success of it, just as we can make a success of a good deal.”

I strongly suspect "success" is a defined term and it doesn't mean what it normally does. Here it probably means "not everything is on fire".

I'm always fucking disappointed. Sometimes I'm quite cross as well.

I'm preparing to be very cross indeed for the foreseeable future.

I'd like to take pleasure in the Prime Minister's utter humiliation in Salzburg (aa...I love Mozartkugeln) but I'm just even more afraid that we're even more fucked now than before. Of course, the Tories are already saying it was the beastly Europeans' fault and nobody is taking any responsibility.

Listen. I hear the sound of bad ideas crashing at high speed into reality's granite mountain.

I'm not sure. If the Chequers plan is killed, that leaves no deal as their actual plan, which is easier to argue against.

If only the government could have foreseen that the EU would act this way.

What’s that you say? They knew all along? From even before the referendum?

I really shouldn't listen to speeches from the Prime Minister. It only gets me angry, and her cod-Thatcher mannerism just sounded cheesy. Still, apparently it's the EU's fault for not having a plan.

"UK Prime Minister Theresa May has said the EU must treat the UK with more "respect" in Brexit negotiations.
In a statement at Downing Street she said for EU leaders to reject her plan with no alternative at this "late stage of negotiations" was "not acceptable"."

Good luck with that. We're the ones leaving and they aren't obliged to make it easy for us.

And it's not even 'at this late stage' - the EU haven't changed their stance; they always said her idea didn't work.

In her speech she even went on about how she respects their union and would not suggest anything that would put it at risk... and yet then her offer to them breaks up the four principles on which it is founded. Absolute madness.

Labour wants to push ahead with Brexit

Quote:
“I really think people want this sorted. That means negotiating a deal that will meet people’s objectives. So you don’t get hung up on the semantics; you do the deal that will protect their jobs, and address some of the concerns that they had during the referendum.”

Sounds like it's two steps forward, one step back for Labour when it comes to a final vote.

Seriously, you can't have a vote on 'the deal' (a term I'm sick of) with an alternative of crashing out. It has to be 'these terms or stay', otherwise it's a complete waste of time.

Madness. McDonnell has basically said the People’s Vote will be a choice between:

A) Being fucked
B) Being fucked, but in italics

Don't worry. To be a fan of Brexit means never having to take responsibility for anything, ever.
