Purgatory

That’s what it feels like.

EU leaders have agreed in principle to extend Brexit until 31 January 2020 – meaning the UK will not leave as planned on Thursday.

On June 23rd 2016, I voted to leave the EU. I expected to lose and was resigned to that. However, the following morning, I discovered that we’d won. I expected Article 50 to be triggered and that we would leave. We should have been out by now, yet every time we get close to a deadline, it is extended. So, despite the Boris promising that come what may – dead in a ditch if necessary – we would leave the EU on the 31st October, we find that the zombie parliament has frustrated that vote.

And now it’s moved again.

Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!

  1. Seriously, what is the point of Parliament? Do these people blush when they pick up their salary of are they completely without shame (yes I do know the answer, thanks). Cromwell springs to mind here, as does Guy Fawkes. We’re a very tolerant country but I do worry about what kind of politics we’re heading to in the future.

    • It does kind of explain the whole purpose of parliamentary confidence and also why the Fixed Term Parliament Act is a constitutional nightmare that should never have been enacted. A Parliament where the government had no majority, cannot pass its own legislation, but equally cannot dissolve itself simply becomes an impotent talking shop.

  2. I said before the vote that leave would win but we would never leave. The fix is in. It always has been .

  3. OK so the quislings will do do their damnest to see that we don’t leave.

    What are they, or their masters in Berlin (or Brussels or wherever it doesn’t really matter) doing to ensure that “europe” survives?

    The Euro is a zombie currency. They have a zombie “parliament”, a zombie politburo – right down to gurning halfwits with blue faces who seem to be permanently camped outside wastemonster.

    The house of cards is falling. We are just the first. Thinking about it, for the long term I wonder if a clean break would actually be good. I am coming round to the view that the messier the better. Only if we see the EU and its whores in their true light do we have a chance of inoculation ourselves against the disease going forward.

  4. My worry is that when we finally do get an election, the bovine section of the electorate will vote the useless bedsteads back in. If I can’t find an independent on the leave side I will spoil the ballot paper.

    Seriously they are a disgrace, utterly incompetent and completely devoid of principles or integrity. Blocking an election for as long as they possibly can so that they can still get paid despite refusing to actually do their jobs. Contemptible and worthless vermin.

    • Don’t spoil your ballot.

      As Brexit has proven, a hung parliament can’t achieve anything.

      If you can’t have what you want, stop anymore dame being done.

      Vote tactically, no seat should be “safe”, no incumbent should be allowed a second term.

      Nothing will get the message across better.

    • I’ve got to admit that here in Perth I am in the UK’s second most marginal constituency, where the SNP were elected by 21 votes over the Tories.

      Although I would prefer to vote BXP as I did in the Euro elections, to achieve BRExit I may well have to hold my nose and vote Tory for once.

      I can’t stand the Tories, but at least they look set to deliver on BRExit in some form, whereas the SNP would rather wipe their arse with my 2016 EU Referendum ballot.

  5. These Remainer MP’s are completely without shame. Sooner or later they will have to face the electorate. Then we know what to do with them don’t we !!!
