Just like when I accurately predicted that West Ham United would obviously not be relegated all those years ago, the community of non-partisan Economic experts have been bang on the money too. https://amp.ft.com/content/534e108a-4651-11e9-b168-96a37d002cd3?__twitter_impression=true I (didn't) like this paragraph ... We need to think clearly about the nature of the pain. Rather than making us poorer than in the past, Brexit is a deliberate decision to miss out on economic progress. It is not empty shelves and huge job losses, but a slow drip of lost opportunities, activity moved elsewhere and income disappointments. The correct analogy is Britain’s slow, 30-year, relative decline from victor in the second world war to the sick man of Europe, not the immediate pain of a recession or a financial crisis. .....

No.

We'll see. The fact that you continually bring up something I posted five-six years ago (and remember it the wrong way round every time, so it doesn't even reflect what I said anyway) is awfully sweet. You'll be celebrating it. Just wait.

I'll repeat my prediction. May's deal - with maybe some bullsh it semi-colon changed here or there - will go through. Probably next week. The DUP and enough of the ERG are looking for a ladder to climb down. Davis has already gone. Meathead Arlene is positioning for it. And you, Wes Tender, will greet this a victory. And on Independence Day you will revel in posting sh ite about cracking open the champagne, feeling like a free man and other such smug, celebratory garbage. So seriously get ready to pivot. Because when this "worst deal in history" is served up you will be sucking it up and swallowing it whole. Gobble gobble.

Significant improvement from West Brom now they've made the decision to get rid of the out of his depth glorified caretaker they were stuttering under. I'm sure you agree.

Put it on the list next to ending the Troubles in Northern Ireland and freeing Nelson Mandela.

May's proposal is 1. vote for my deal by this time next week, or we have to participate in the European elections because we'll be in for the long haul. 2. the punishment for not approving my deal yesterday is we have to stay until June to get the legislation through. Serves you lot right. So she wants to bring her deal back, again, with the added bonus of sh itting up the ERG enough that they vote for it. And a Brexiteer on TV right now saying he has no choice to choose between May's deal or no Brexit and he will pick May's deal. And references David Davis from yesterday who said to him that he saw it coming which is why he voted for the deal yesterday. Well, who could have possibly predicted that.

Delighted to be wrong.

Suspicious that the main motion might actually fail now. Which would be Brexit in a nutshell.

Well, that's nice. MPs support the concept of no No-Deal, ever.

Today is the the day the government outline what no deal actually means. The ERG will soon learn it will not be all their dreams come true because the border will still have to be respected. They have all rejected the horrible old backstop so that means they will have to accept one of the alternatives like a border down the Irish sea instead. No deal doesn't make the problem go away. Which is kind of why David Davis sucked up the May deal yesterday. He can see what's coming, and he's thick as s hit.

I didn't say it took courage to vote. I said you were gutless.

But you were on this thread a lot before the vote and still here now. So yes, it is hard to understand. If you're not fussed, fine. My missus isn't fussed, she's sick of me watching the news all the time. Guess what, she still voted in the biggest decision this country has made since WW2. It's a football forum, go off and talk about football on another thread. You want to talk Brexit then your gutlessness will be brought up by me when I feel like it because it bears repeating and is relevant. Is that so hard to understand, even for you?

Yeah, it's pretty easy to go and vote but you still couldn't bring yourself to do it. Gutless.

Says the man who supported Brexit because he wanted to stick one over Management Consultants and Lobbyists like Goldman Sachs, the very people who will make an absolute killing out of the contracts and consultancy work that this uttetly pointless endeavour will throw up. Right on, sister. And the man who, let's never forget, spent months on this thread going on about sticking it to the man and then bottled the fu ck out of voting at all when the day came. You're an utter joke mate.

Yes, that is probably what keeps the ERG going, and they're right that parliament will struggle to coalesce around anything. The "No No deal" option will win tomorrow, which will change the game because it will send a message to the country. It gives a certainty of direction that UK businesses will not want to let go. UK big business have already pi ssed enough money away planning for no deal, I know the one I work for has and they are already fu cking furious about it. Shocking, pointless waste. Anyway, from that point, the issue will be forced and the ERG will see a load of things they really don't want to happen creeping up on them. And off they will run, into the arms of May's deal which actually is okay really when you think about etc etc.

Yeah, I don't think you understand what is actually happening. Not least because I named two MPs that are not members of the Labour party. Bless you for trying though x x

Once the house votes for no deal tomorrow then May's deal becomes by some distance the least worst option for the ERG. Better than a short extension Better than a long extension that the EU might demand Better than a revocation of A50 which could go to a commons vote as a last ditch attempt to stop actual no-deal Better than a General Election Better than a second referendum The ERG will vote for May's deal and call it their victory. As will Les and Guided Missile and everyone else posting Union Jacks and pictures of champagne flutes and singing the Great Escape tune and all the other sh it we will get on March 29th. The endgame I referred to yesterday is not about the ERG vs May. The endgame now is about the ERG stopping Anna Soubry and Chukka Umuna "winning". They will not let them win.

As long as the ERG move, then enough Labour MPs in leave constituencies will then see that the opportunity to "respect the will of the people" is there and will also follow, rendering the DUP irrelevant.

It's not over yet sunshine. I added another post saying that it might not happen at this round of votes, just that it would happen through the process. The ERG will vote this deal through once they feel the hot breath of no-Brexit down their necks. For now, they are still swinging their dicks about.

May's deal will make a comeback and the ERG will fall in line and swallow that fu cker whole. David Davis has sucked it right up already. No deal will be rejected tomorrow so the deal will be the least worst option left for the Brexiteers. They'll vote for it and claim it as a victory.

Read my post again sweetheart. I'm talking about a different, invasive internet policy currently being activated by our sovereign government. I'm sure you support it because democracy innit.

If you don't like internet censorship - and let's be honest, we all love knocking one out - then you're going to love the UK's new porn laws which seems to involve giving your passport number away to get on Redtube. Nothing to do with the EU though.

Maybe not today. But it will and when it does you'll claim it as a victory and on March 29th you'll be on this thread with your celebratory "independence day" horsesh it. See you then.
