But now to get attention he's moved on to pretending to stan for Theresa May and her deal to leave . It's a bit sad, clearly he's missing the attention. this is something you’ve invented in your head. I’m still pro Eu. bizarre.

"JENKYNS: Several things can happen. But I do believe that a deal can be done last-minute. I mean, let's look at Greece. The negotiations with Greece and the EU went on for months and months, and it wasn't until the final weekend deadline that they came up with something. So that is how the EU works. This is..."

Jenkyns is naive and dumb. There's already a deal on the table and the UK leaving is not half the threat a Greek bankruptcy was.

On Galileo. I recall reading that there is a clause that restricts acces to the underlying tech for military application to EU members only. This clause was added at the specific insistence of..... the UK.

Ramrod Hotshot posted:What do y'all think is actually going to happen? The deal's getting passed. Maybe on the second or third try, maybe with a bunch of abstentions, but it's passing. There's no will for anything else and the only people willing to be on the hook for voting it down are either fervent ideologues (Tory rebels) or powerless grandstanders (Scots Nats, DUP).

it’s getting irritating that these figures - which are bad enough when understood - are erroneously being discussed as how much the economy would ‘shrink’ in a no-deal scenario, rather the percentage the economy would grow less than with continued EU membership.

Theresa May that genius posted:"As a global player with world-class engineers and steadfast allies around the world we are not short of options." Does everyone over there think the Commonwealth is still a thing? I mean, the US is going to gut you like a Thanksgiving turkey if you're dumb enough to let us. Former colonies aren't steadfast allies, they're just people who haven't yet realized that they can be free from the dread hand of Her Majesty's government.
