https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-49970267 Looking like the only choices left are 'Leave' or 'Remain', perhaps we should have a referendum ?
Probably only advisory, I'd like one of the options (there should be at least 10) to be, 'F*ck off, the lot of you'

It's been a fascinating couple of days and here is another glimpse of what's going on; When Boris Johnson unveiled his Brexit plan last week it was far from a punt in the dark. The week before, on the fringes of the United Nations in New York, the prime minister met with his Irish counterpart Leo Varadkar and discussed the potential for a compromise. Downing Street believed they came away with an understanding: If London moved on aligning Northern Ireland with the EU single market then Dublin would move on customs regulations. The level of trust was such that Mr Johnson dispatched his chief of staff, Eddie Lister, to Dublin the day before his announcement to brief Mr Varadkar on the plan before it was even shared with Brussels. But as soon as it was made public the private understandings fell apart. Mr Varadkar deliberately enraged the DUP by raising the prospect of a united Ireland as one way to break the Brexit impasse. Simon Coveney, Ireland’s foreign minister, publically dismissed the new British proposals as unworkable. Behind the scenes things were even worse. Dublin shut off back-channel discussions with London and insisted that all talks go through Brussels and Michel Barnier. Mr Barnier then ruled out the British plan as the basis for any agreement. The whole episode has left Downing Street feeling bruised and angry. Government figures believe that they are being deliberately played. They think Mr Varadkar and other EU leaders are making a calculation that if they play hardball then the Benn act will force Mr Johnson to ask for an extension. They don’t believe that he has a secret plan to take Britain out without a deal on October 31 and even if he tried parliament would stop him. Such an extension would then lead to an election or, less likely, a second referendum. If it is an election this either leads to a victory for Mr Johnson or a softer Brexit or no-Brexit at all under Labour or a coalition. If it is a second referendum then they do not expect parliament to allow no-deal on the ballot paper. Even if Mr Johnson returns triumphant to Downing Street from the election the EU will be calculating that it is still in the prime minister’s interests to get a deal. A no-deal Brexit would be disruptive and at some stage talks would have to start again. So why would Mr Johnson not give it another go? Downing Street’s reading is that Brussels has decided that if it is going to compromise on a customs deal in Northern Ireland why not do it at the last possible moment rather than now when it doesn’t really have to? That is why today’s leaked government memo makes explicit the threat that the prime minister will go into an election on a no-deal platform. Both sides are calling each other’s bluff. It is a risky strategy for all concerned.
I must profess to be a little on the fence still but the EU council are a bunch of cvnts - they will allow all the 27 Nations to suffer so long as we do to protect their cash cow shit heap in Brussels - and some here wish our future to be run by these wankers. Unbelievable
Yay. A grown-up assessment of what is going on. What a refreshing change. Imagine if we had an MSM that reported the news in this way. Without the thick dollop of EUphilia over everything.
yet over 80% of the printed media is pro brexit. . exe, your uk gov will let you and yours suffer because they wouldnt enterain the thaught of keeping scotland in the SM and CU or even devolve immigration. a good compromise, all doable and eisier to impliment than a boarder accross ireland and the irish sea.
