If the plan to spoil an extension works, what are the chances of parliament panic voting for May's deal in the final hour?

Brexit is so infuriatingly stupid that I can't even be entertained by the spectacle from my safe distance. At least the election of Trump is funny in a bleak way, but Brexit bullshit is maddening. It's like someone who thinks red is blue and up is down and the earth is flat arguing with you constantly and refusing to accept all evidence against them, plus your future prosperity depends on reasoning with them.

You mean parliament revoking article 50 altogether in order to make our own extension?

I suppose that's doable. However a revocation of article 50 would play into UKIP's hands hugely.

Is there not a bloke who comes to the car park in a dodgy looking van during lunch break to drop off some tinfoil wrapped sausage rolls that you ordered that morning?

What annoys me is that as much as I hate all the pretentious booj trappings, I have coeliacs disease and am obliged to ask whether my food is gluten free on penalty of getting severe shits.

We've got one of those but they also have cakes.

I think it's a sliding scale, in the South you get booj cake wellness spaces, in the Midlands you have tearooms that mostly exist to serve bacon cobs to builders outside of the weekend, in the North you have old caffs with permanent old ladies to fry you a bunch of poo poo on a plate, and in Scotland the entire building is deep fried and people just take bites out of it.

Reminds me of when I was working just a touch South of Edinburgh and every day there would be a morning roll run consisting of fried tattie scone, egg, bacon & black pudding. Your choice of condiment.

I'll have you note that the Midlands has experienced an unusual upsurge in waffle houses.

I think waffles are an important middle ground in being classic enough to appeal to the working class while being continental enough to appeal to those who think themselves better.

Potato waffles are an important middle ground in that you can grill/toast two of them and put a cheese slice in the middle and it's delicious even though it sounds bizarre.

Not as bizarre as milk coke, which I still think is a Brum troll.

the EU negotiators have said every time it comes up that revocation and resubmission doesn't reset the clock, only pauses it. We'd still have 16 days to talk with the EU, it only buys time domestically.

If there's a revocation, that's it. I'd be surprised if the first reaction wasn't an immediate attempt to weld a bunch of poo poo to a50 to avoid the UK in particular even trying any funny poo poo.

all my local hipsters have terf haircuts and do spoken word nights in the vegan micropub that used to be the best dive bar for 15 miles, with dogs, weed, and an open stage policy on paid gigs

the hipster coffee shops all died. prepare yourselves, it gets worse

Oh my god I never want to go to a city again. In fact, I'm putting an axe through my computer, packing up my duvet and some warm clothes and going to find a cave or a bothy in the middle of nowhere to live in so I never accidentally hear about something as awful and straight from Silicon Valley as this ever again.

Am I right in thinking that revocation and resubmission would then be sufficient to secure a referendum on May's deal vs Remain as the EU has already negotiated and approved May's deal?
