namesake: Jun 19, 2006; "When I was a girl, around 12 or 13, I had a fantasy that I'd grow up to marry Captain Scarlet, but he'd be busy fighting the Mysterons so I'd cuckold him with the sexiest people I could think of - Nigel Mansell, Pat Sharp and Mr. Blobby."

So... What's the strategy now? Blame game?, more wacky hijinks? Surprise no deal?

Boris doesn't send the letter he's legally required to or sends it with another letter or statement or something saying to ignore the letter kicking off another constitutional crisis.
The Remain left yells at the Lib Dems and the Lib Dems to nominate Corbyn as caretaker PM and the Remain right yell at Corbyn to quit.
Brexit.

no 10 have produced extensive plans for a scenario codenamed 'operation closing time'. it's heavily classified, but the gist of it is that NI doesn't have to join the republic, but they can't stay here

quote:

�I did send it to a very distinguished director and I�m embarrassed to say that I had no answer back," the prime minister said. "I was so crestfallen that I didn�t pursue it. It was absolutely brilliant.� He said he abandoned the idea after seeing an advert for the George Clooney film "The Monuments Men."

�I thought, �drat, that�s probably my idea.��

Johnson's script featured an archaeologist described as an �old Clooney/Connery/Eastwood type in his fifties� named Marmaduke Montmorency Burton who teams up with a �gorgeous but scholarly� younger woman to rescue relics. Johnson reportedly wanted Angelina Jolie or Scarlett Johansson to play the female lead.

Wouldn't that depend on how you do the referendum? Instead of doing two separate referendums on reunifying the island, one in RoI and one in NI, do a combined referendum with two options:

- Reunify Ireland under the Republic of Ireland
- Reunify Ireland as part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland

This would 100% get majority support for some sort of unification.

that poo poo show would be boycotted

it's because they're incredible idiots who didn't learn that Britain isn't a global power any more, can't just dictate its will on other countries, and was never a Great Trading Nation that other countries are just raring to have a shot at trading with. also some of them want a crash because they've put money on it, or because they'll make money when the NHS is sold off

basically our conservatives are the remnants of that class of people who in the old days would all have been sent to die at the head of a cavalry charge because they were too useless at governance. sometimes i think the Brexiteers have a point about the death of tradition

I appreciate the funny image. They'd also have been sent off to various corners of the empire to live like incompetent tyrant princes.
But the actual truth is that our ruling class has been characterised by incompetence and amateurishness for at bare minimum the last hundred years
