Will she come up with a good reason for there to be an extension?
What could it possibly be… I mean, if you have taken it to the wire with parliament before and failed dismally to get an agreement, what can you possibly do that will please MPs enough to make them vote for essentially the same deal with a few minor tweaks?
The backstop is non-negotiable and won’t be any different in 3 months. What else is there?

Nigel and his goonishness has never been particularily popular up here. The tail end of invisibility certainly suggests a maximum of 36, but I’d imagine our hero will have that as an enormous march in favour of his pov.

I have completely lost track of what is going on.
The BBC reported this:
“Prime Minister Theresa May is writing to the EU to formally ask for Brexit to be postponed until 30 June or longer.
One ministerial source told the BBC the longer delay could be up to two years, amid reports of a cabinet row, but No 10 said no decision had been made.”
Me? I just want independence and then there is a pretty good chance that we’ll know what we are doing. This is just an unacceptable way to behave.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, I kind of trust our wee democracy to get it sorted without this nonsense.
Hopefully, independence by next Tuesday!

What amazes me Tris is that if you listen to the paper reviews at night no one, well at least no one that I have heard recently, has mentioned two simple FACTS!
1) the vote AGAINST no deal was practically pointless. All it did was show Westminster was AGAINST a no deal but it actually does NOTHING to stop a no deal.
2) unless the E.U. 27 actually ALL agree to an extension that Feartie is prostrating herself in front of them and begging for then we are OUT of the E.U. in NINE days time. It only takes ONE of the E.U. 27 to say NON and no extension is agreed to.
I may be wrong here but perhaps all the paper reviewers have been ordered NOT to mention either of these simple FACTS! š
As far as the wee pretendy march to London is concerned two things spring to mind.
1) a couple of marchers from the Indy 500 march last year have, I believe begun another march … Edinburgh to London. No pomp … No ceremony … certainly NOT from any of the Britnat media at least!
2) this march to London is gonna cost Adam Hills a fortune if it keeps going like this. On Friday night’s show he said he was going to sponsor oor Nige … for every day he was NOT on the march. I can’t remember how much he is “sponsoring” oor wee Nige for but I think Adam might already be regretting saying this. By the way all money “sponsored” by Adam Hills is going to go to charity NOT oor Nige or any organisation or fund raiser linked to him. š

Listened to R4 at 1 o’clock, nearly wet myself at leadsom.
After 16 minutes of the maybot being very clear, we are leaving on the 29th, repeated some 6 times from pmq replies, on comes a pile of mps, all giving their point of view.
Then leadsom comes on and blames the SNP for not backing the maybot’s deal. I didn’t think they took much notice of the SNP but along with the Eu, the SNP are the problem.
SHe never mentioned the mogg or answered the question about the maybot being very clear and now it’s a delay until June, notice no year mentioned.
The maybot, promises not delivered, think about solving the housing problem, when is that happening?

IF you believe the EBC is fair and honest have a look at their website on the maybots speech.
A 3:55 speech is edited down to 1:30, you can see where the cuts are, very good editing, but WHY.
Had a look on Huffington post, it was 2:30 for the same, thought that’s strange, but their output was actually the same edition but with an advert added to the lead in.
I thought the 10 minutes of looking at the empty lectern was more informative than the actual speech.
Strange that the maybot could spare us some of her very busy schedule to give us 4 minutes of nonsense.
Probably needed the time to be brieffed on how to curtsy to Tusk and Co,
.Think she’s being clever, asking for a date that the EU won’t sanction so she can blame them, the media will of course spin it against the EU.
The rUK is finished, time to revoke A50 ourselves as a sovereign country, Scotland says we are a free people and will decide the issue for ourselves, we don’t need colonial masters or want them.
