Do you guys like.... know any Catholics? Because a lot of Brit posters talk about them like combination muslims/girls.

The poster in question might be Irish, but as I've said before in this thread Brits complaining about Catholicism have about a 50% chance of actually being mad about the Irish

Rees Mog looks like the platonic image of an old money American WASP (well when he's not wearing the top hat), so him being Catholic is very funny to me.

Mogg is descended from the small set of aristos that kept their Catholicism and just doubled down on the loyalty, iirc, rather than any Irish influence

His family isn't actually some storied line of aristocrats, they were upper middle class until his father got a peerage. And his grandfather was Anglican, it was his Irish-American grandmother who William Rees-Mogg got his Catholicism from.

Pretty sure they could replace her as a leader now. Good thing the Tories didn't waste their one shot at taking her out in an earlier attempt to showboat to the Brexiteers.

Can it be voted on again if there are amendments approved for it? Otherwise, isn't Bercow going to tell her to gently caress off?

It's entirely up to Bercow and how he chooses to interpret it, so given his personal dislike for May and for the Brexiteers it's a reasonable bet

They could have a vote to allow MV3 and overrule Bercow , but that won't pass.

All I know about the British system of governance comes from Game of Thrones, but I'm pretty sure May can ask the queen to call her banners and implement Brexit by force. I mean, if she wants to keep it civilized she can name a champion to fight Bercow to the death.
