I've only just looked at the wording for that pro-Brexit petition Quote: We are wasting Billions of pounds of taxpayers money trying to negotiate in a short space of time. Leaving the EU in March 2019 will allow the UK good time to negotiate more efficiently. The EU will be more eager to accept a deal on our terms having lost a major partner. Every single sentence is utterly delusional and/or meaningless gibberish. |

Rates fixed at the time of the deal! GBP permanently pegged to the Euro, amazing scenes. Also where do they get the bizarre idea that the Irish border is a currency issue |

I signed that petition. Not quite sure what I've signed for, but again the govt need telling. Fuck, the way things are going I may even vote this year. Would be the first time since the only time I ever voted (the year I was old enough I voted for labour, so 90? 92? Somewhere around then). I got my polling card yesterday, may just use it instead of tearing up and mumbling obscenities about wasting paper. |

Quote: Parliament is going to debate the petition you signed – “Revoke Article 50 and remain in the EU.”.
https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/241584 The debate is scheduled for 1 April 2019. Once the debate has happened, we’ll email you a video and transcript. |

The government response is the usual "we made a stupid promise and have to keep it or the wolves will get us" piss though: Quote: This Government will not revoke Article 50. We will honour the result of the 2016 referendum and work with Parliament to deliver a deal that ensures we leave the European Union. It remains the Government’s firm policy not to revoke Article 50. We will honour the outcome of the 2016 referendum and work to deliver an exit which benefits everyone, whether they voted to Leave or to Remain. Revoking Article 50, and thereby remaining in the European Union, would undermine both our democracy and the trust that millions of voters have placed in Government. The Government acknowledges the considerable number of people who have signed this petition. However, close to three quarters of the electorate took part in the 2016 referendum, trusting that the result would be respected. This Government wrote to every household prior to the referendum, promising that the outcome of the referendum would be implemented. 17.4 million people then voted to leave the European Union, providing the biggest democratic mandate for any course of action ever directed at UK Government. British people cast their votes once again in the 2017 General Election where over 80% of those who voted, voted for parties, including the Opposition, who committed in their manifestos to upholding the result of the referendum. This Government stands by this commitment. Revoking Article 50 would break the promises made by Government to the British people, disrespect the clear instruction from a democratic vote, and in turn, reduce confidence in our democracy. As the Prime Minister has said, failing to deliver Brexit would cause “potentially irreparable damage to public trust”, and it is imperative that people can trust their Government to respect their votes and deliver the best outcome for them. Department for Exiting the European Union. So essentially, the government are going to do something they know is stupid, and blame people for voting for it, rather than taking charge. Fucking great. |

The animation on that alien's mouth (I'm guessing Kang, because he's on the left) is superb. You can almost lip-read it. |

It's a lot easier to lip-sync animation when the speaker is speaking slowly and drawing out the sounds. In the show, the actor (James Earl Jones, I believe) hams it up big time. "Gooo ahead!

Even if she gets the deal over the line and leaves, it's still a poisoned chalice. Would any further negotiations with the EU, let alone with the US or China, be any less one-sided than we've already had? |

That’s part of the problem her deal is not a “deal” it’s a withdrawal agreement It just puts a framework in place for the actual deal to be worked out |
