    Well it was supposed to be a bit of a joke "because" it was so improbable a judgement! - Sigh

    Bit of a Necro - but the last 72 hours in British Politics have been bloody amazing.

    Theresa Mays abominable Deal got utterly annihilated in the Vote.

    Communist Corbyn then called for a Vote of no-confidence.

    Labour's extremists want to cancel Brexit, Labour's moderates want another referendum, Labour's last few sane MPs that care about the working classes who voted to leave are tentatively saying maybe it'd be okay to leave without a Deal.

    TL;DR is that Labour don't know what they want, they only know they don't want what the Tories want. Ironically most of the Tories didn't want that deal either!

    Theresa May then survived the Vote of no-confidence.

    The Doom and Gloom Remoaners have been scrying portents of Armageddon in the winds (just like the time before, the time before that, the time before that etc. none of which came to pass)

    JRM has been positively dapper and classy as always

    And then, in a way that only true, Great British incompetence can achieve - some in the EU are now worrying that the UK will leave without a Deal and that maybe they shouldn't have insisted on a Backstop and perhaps they need the UK afterall - Even Verhifstadt was saying in an interview after the deal was nuked off the face of British Politics that maybe he might've got it wrong.

    They should just leave, turn the clock back to 1940 and make a nice cup of tea.

    The Commonwealth are chomping at the bit for the Queen to ring up and say " Air hair lair....its business as usual"

    The good thing about when the UK joined the Common Market is we stopped getting their cars

    Yes, I have been following the ineptitude.

    The answer is very simple and the UK needs to call Europe's bluff.

    "Junker, you have failed. Goodbye"

    It is as easy as that. If the bankrupt states of the EU want any chance of staying afloat and the EU ideal not capitulating into a total failure, they will come begging and push the "Drunker Junker" fellow, out of the frame.

    One of the things I have always done, is to short trade currencies. So far so good and I'm just waiting for the 'All-in" moment.

    I do wonder if the UK are inadvertently going to end up calling Europe's bluff, by piss-arsing around so much that they end up forcing the EU to re-negotiate.

    It's got me fucked why they're voting on whether to accept the widely predicted consequences of Brexit now at all.

    They voted for Brexit. End of discussion. Do the best deal you can by all means, but then voting not to accept that deal is a classic toddler tantrum.

    Yes - and they have nowhere else to go now .. the EU has made it clear the deal, which the Brit Parliament rejected, is the EU bottom line.

    So - it looks like it is going to be a hard exit .. with no agreement.

    So on march 30 anyone traveling from Britain to the EU is going to need a visa .. and go through customs, etc .

    The deal was shit. There was no negotiation, just obstructive games. The EU is fucked, but the just don't yet know it. This bunch of bankrupt states has just pushed out its main cash cow. Not so difficult to work out how that is going to play out. Fukwits.

    You don't need Visas to travel to the UK, from most EU countries. Many Brits live in EU countries and still will.

    The agreement for no visas is part of being in the EU - if they get out of the EU that goes ..

    Crikey, you drive a hard bargain. There are thousands of new villas sat empty from the building boom collapse. Box of beer and a bag of chips will get a nice one with a pool and ocean or mountain view.

    Where does the City of London feature in Brexit?

    All is not exactly as it appears and there is much to learn about the City of London. (England?) - (Add in Washington DC and Vatican City to make up an interesting trilogy?)



    Two Londons - why it matters.
