In the case of a hard Brexit with no deal, the first order of business for the US is the destruction of all SLBM subs of France, before the yellow vests get ahold of them.

Didn't the British do this in WWII with the French Mediterranean fleet? They probably need our help this time around.

This is Fucking amazing. Fintan O Toole on brexit. He knows what he’s talking about and fucking nails the why and the how of it all. Give it ten minutes and you’ll watch the lot

Funny:)

Honestly though, it’s a masterclass on the insanity and impossibility of brexit. Funny and told by an expert on the matter.
Give it a spin

Feel sorry for May. Some of her opposition inside the Tories really are the worst, even worse than Corbyn. If they get to rule, I will then feel sorry for the UK.

200-117 for May in the no confidence vote. They can’t challenge her for another year inside the party. Still a bad result, as she has only a small majority in parliament.

Theresa May's resilience throughout this has been incredible.

Absolutely. If only she didn’t go against her own beliefs.

So the conservatives get to have a second vote on May

But the British public don’t get to have a second vote on brexit.


Yeah that’s already not going down too well.

Will never happen. They’re far too reserved for that.

Watch what happens if a second referendum is announced though.
The idiot yokels will be out in force rioting and opposing it.
The same ones the Tories have only ever crushed under their heel.
It’s all so ridiculous it’s farcical.

I'm not really too sure why there needs to be a 2nd vote. They already voted. You don't get to keep rolling the dice

TLDR
For example, Nissan is the biggest employer in Sunderland. Northern England.
It imports 3 million parts a day (yes. A day). into their factories in sunderland. They are locked into a global working ongoing supply chain network that they will soon be closed out of by brexit.
They only ever have half a days parts in supply on hand and in stock.
They are considering leaving northern England with the loss of thousands of jobs. An area that already has one of the highest unemployment rates in all Britain.
Ironically Sunderland was one of the largest leave votes in the UK.

I’m not bullet pointing the rest of the calamity. We’d literally be here for years.
