I think Expats are amongst the most patriotic people you'll ever meet. There isnt a royal birthday, sports event, halloween or any other minor British tradition that isnt celebrated with a dance, meal or some other organised event.
You feel part of a special community tied to your homeland.
I'll guarantee I've celebrated more british traditions than just about all of you that live in the UK....ex expats excepted. That a lot od ex's!

So it appears TM got tough and that the EU finally thought/believed she was serious about a no deal.
They blinked.
Can Kicked.
Pity she didnt do this two years ago, thing might've been so different.
Can't see how much has changed. She's still flogging her dead horse.
If its rejected how on earth is an alternative plan gonna be agreed and presented within the time given
Its taken 1000 days plus to get to this point.

They didn’t blink, they sensed a kill. They’ve just given TM a bit more rope to hang herself to take Brexit out.

They know tide has changed, they know Brexit is doomed, and they’ve dealt with this logically and astutely, unlike TM and the Tories, if there are any Tories left on her side....

:think:
It has just occurred to me that Australia is in the Eurovision Song Contest......that is pushing border boundaries.
This is clearly the start of a stealth Eu attempt to get it to join the Euro....I may have to open up a second front.

Very possibly.
She says she won't revoke article 50, or have a new referendum, but she says a lot of things.
It's also possible she gets the boot and someone else does.

Annoyingly, she also said this about the new deadline:
"This gives us the opportunity, MPs next week, to look at the choices that clearly face them"

What was confusing them about the choices before?

I suspect we'll be seeing a lot of Brexiteers in the EU elections as i think its either -no deal or no Brexit.

Some of you may have noticed slower than normal internet response over the last few days. This was due to the enormous (i'm told at least 900,000) attempted sign ups for our "Mexican Table top entertainment" choose your seat competition.

As a result, the petition server crashed- 5

I think coming out against the Eurovision Song Contest may have dealt the campaign a killer blow. It’s apparently very popular amongst one of the key demographics; Cliff Richard fans and Terry Wogan listeners.

Parliament still have to amend to repeal the Brexit act or we’re still out next week, they’ve not been particularly good at agreeing anything so far.

At least when you watch paint dry you know what the outcome is.
Very Sad state of affairs to be witnessing.

So now it looks like my punt on us not leaving the EU on 29th March is going to come in, Sky Bet are offering evens for us to leave Between April and June (very charitable) everything else is 9-1 Bar.
With one exception. Not before 2022 is 11/4 which looks an interesting bet.

With all views aside (be that remainer or Brexiter) how on earth is May going to get her deal through Parliament next week?
If she doesn't we have a leave date of 12th April.
If she does then it's 22nd May.

Lets say she fails next week to get her deal through. As we're getting down to the nitty gritty now, some ar5es with be doing 5p 10p so nothing is certain from this point.
What's the options?

Leaving with no deal? - Parliament veto'd that (didn't they?)
Or Revoking article 50? - The petition is 2,625,272 as I type.
Or is there something else?

It's a brave PM that leaves with no deal, suicide for her as PM I would have thought, but it's braver still to revoke article 50. Which May or May not (no pun intended) mark her out as one of the bravest political (rightly or wrongly) decisions of all time.

Casting aside your views, what do you think will happen now? (not what you want, and yes, I am looking at you Wattie! ;)) as I haven't a clue.
Toss of a coin? Best of three? :lol2:

I really hope they just leave asap so we can get on, with whatever that may be. At least something would be certain.

Simply put......
Will she put country over party?
What will the deal do or not do for and to the economy?
What does the legislature allow or not allow.
