I've got a mate/colleague at work & he's a full on gammon & thinks brexit will be great. Weirdly his brother has bought a holiday home in france where he enjoys free holidays, I've asked him how he thinks thats going to go & he thinks it'll be cool..

Apart from the obvious which is not working, has anyone got anything good so I can properly piss on his cornflakes?

What is the absolute last moment in time that the UK could decide to want to go for an delay? I assume they can't just decide on the morning of the 29th, but what's the latest?

Wow that's really dumb.

Can they also like try it for an hour, and then realize "nah"? Or does brexit really mean brexit?

What would happen if they were literally in the middle of a vote to delay at 11pm? I'm trying to imagine the most idiotic possible outcome.

Wait, they can cancel it up to the deadline, but not delay it right? I meant to ask how much time would be needed to be granted a delay (sorry I got confused myself!)

It has to have unanimous consent of the EU member states though right? So Latvia could be like lol, no if the UK decided to delay on the 29th? There's no real reason why any of them would ever do that except it's extremely funny, but still.

no they can delay, they can cancel, they can leave. the EU has already said, in effect, "do what you feel" in this regard. considering the poo poo the EU has done to debtor nations like Greece the EU leadership has been astonishingly and uncharacteristically chill towards the UK regarding brexit beyond some truly excellent english language wordplay from donald tusk

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HnCIGODseOw

if the deadline passes and THEN parliament/may decide to delay an hour late or whatever, nobody has any idea what'd happen. i suspect the EU would insist on a hard brexit and whatever that meant for ireland come hell or high water, but i have no basis for those suspicions more reliable than the rumbles in my tummy, and honestly neither does anyone else on earth even in the EU government.

Yes, by capitulating to the insane backstop demand the UK made last week, the EU is "annexing" Northern Ireland

If Ireland reunifies and Scotland votes to become in dependent, the tories will 100% be calling for war to take them back, that should be interesting, especially since the UK is a nuclear armed power. I guess that means Scotland would be as well then, wouldn't it? And Ireland? Or would England keep them all?

The indy movement is heavily anti-nuke, but/because all the nukes are based in West Scotland (where a nuclear strike would only hit non-Tory voting civilian populations). The only other potential bases for the nuke subs are in England (right beside Tory-voting civilian populations that have repeatedly said they don't want to be targets) and aren't currently able to do the job, and so they will really not want to move them.

Most likely result is an independent Scotland doing what Ukraine did in '92 (?) and giving the nukes stored in the country back to their owner - we don't want them. The Brits definitely will. The angrier gammon Brit types suggested a Guantanamo-style annexation of the area around the base, iirc, but if there's a sane one left by indy day there could be some kind of temporary storage deal
