You may want to bring some food with you. And a weapon.
All the major supermarkets warning of food shortages in the event of a no deal. This is kind of frightening.

Alright dime, you gotta pick one.

Inconsistent, maddening illucidity is his right as an Irishman

Well no deal is looking like an inevitability. So the extension will more than likely be applied for. I know Ireland says it won’t block the application but noises from other countries like Spain suggest they will veto the extension. So it could go either way.

I’d be working off worst case scenario and prepping for it.
Check your flight insurance in case you have to cancel. They’re planning contingencies for martial law in case of civil unrest. If the extension isn’t given, June / July would be where things might start getting difficult. If they haven’t by then already.

That sounds rather hysterical but better prepared than not.

There’s an art to it. And the trick is consistency

It is, frankly, beautiful

I listened to his interview with Marc Maron last week. Really great if you haven’t heard it.

!!!

Didn’t even know it happened

It’s from a while back I believe. I’ll try find you a link.

Here ye go. Skip past the Dutch bit at the start

Yeah, we have insurance. I insisted after seeing the news.

Good call.
It’s worrying but seems like there could be trouble no matter what happens. UKIP aren’t helping stirring things up among the idiots that fell for their bullshit. But factions online screaming for no deal (it seems there’s a lot of dark money behind this using troll farms again to agitate online). But regardless, even if the lunatics get their no deal, which is what they want and what seems likely,
They’ll then suffer when it comes to food and medocine shortages so they get what they want anyways. Which is to riot. And it’s a sizable and growing cohort of malcontents we’re seeing causing trouble in the uk and just waiting for this.

Look up Tommy Robinson and the EDL if you want to see it.

My wife said she didn't think there'd be an issue because "it's England, they're pretty tame right?" and my response was "have you not heard of soccer hooligans?"

Also it's really hard to not type that with an accent.

Read the highlighted part. They’re literally getting mobs ready with this shit
And those people are out there in numbers.

The narrative from Britain to blame Ireland on all this is growing apace but this is just ridiculous. Threads worth a look.

Ok hold onto something

Theresa May negotiated the backstop ... but tonight she asked her MPs to vote against it .... but the hard Brexiteers who’ve always voted against it now say they won’t.


They’re literally lost. All of them.

With marriage equality and the abortion issue we’ve seen our people lead and our politicians running to catch up. From a decade or two behind in terms of viewpoints. Our two main parties are not going to be happy with this though. It’s not going away in fact it’s getting louder.

Gets more bizarre by the hour. British Parliament are debating versions of the agreement to withdraw the backstop and have been repeatedly been told by the EU the negotiations are closed and no amendments will be now made. Yet they still continue debating it.
Refusing to listen.

EU second in command on brexit explaining clearly and eloquently why this can’t happen.
They just aren’t listening. It looks to all intents and purposes that they’re willfully trying to bring about a no deal exit. Which hurts them more than anyone. Nobody knows why

Even by parliament standards this is a particularly feisty evening.

Bercow always has the best ties
