More Brexit stuff

Tonight, the BBC reported hearing that the PM is trying to see how it can ditch its poorly thought out clause in the Brexit bill setting an actual time and date into UK law. Never was a good idea to limit itself this way, experts said this, and the Government ignored the experts. And this is just the kind of muddled thinking that got Britain and the Government where it currently is.

On the 15th, The Torygraph ran a headline naming and shaming the Tory MPs who voted against the government on the Brexit bill, calling them "mutineers", as if standing up for Parliamentary democracy in ensuring the Government is held to account, and their bills. Just the sort of thing they should be doing, so who is the real mutineers here?

Currently, DD is being interviewed live on German TV, and its not going well. Don't put politics before prosperity DD lectures. Yeah, about that David, shall I say that about Brexit and everything the May Government has done since?

THe walls of reality are closing in further, the EU stating that the only deal possible is a Canada style free trade agreement, little more than WTO rules, which is a direct consequence of May's red lines from last autumn, and the time constraint of the Article 50 process, which they were warned about but chose to ignore.

Yes, time limits me from saying too much more, even though it would be a rehash of may previous posts. Reality will win out. Unless something extraordinary happens, Britain will leave the EU at 32:00 on 29th May 2017 unless two things happen: Britain asks to either cancel or pause Brexit. And the EU agrees. Both look unlikely.

There is nothing anyone can do on their own to stop Brexit. So the talk of mutineers and saboteurs is guff, as such things are a gift of the EU and the EU institutions only, just as I said on so many occasions.

Still, the weather's nice.
