Is there any language more bizarre than Welsh? Possibly but I have no idea how people even pronounce those "words."

Irish Gaelic is also pretty odd. I think it's because both languages are based on a non-Latin alphabet so they look a bit crazy and have weird rules when presented in an Anglicized form.

tbf it's being spearheaded by the same people in charge of leaving the eu so it's not an entirely unreasonable assumption they'll screw that up too

The EU isn't trying to help them along. Meanwhile Aetna and Kaiser Permanente fuckin' love the idea of opening it up to privatization and will absolutely have a lot of really great suggestions on how to get it done.

"the conservatives pass a deal" doesn't mean "the EU says yeah sure the deal is fine"

I fully expect at this point in hellworld timeline that it'll go:
- Boris drops a dumb-as-poo poo deal on the table
- EU says "lol wut are you smoking"
- Boris says YOU CAN'T NOT TAKE THIS DEAL, OUR SOVERIGNITY DEMANDS IT
- No deal crashout by what like march

I thought the EU already agreed to his deal because it was pretty much Theresa May's deal but with a customs border in the Irish Sea

if there is a deal, it has to be approved by the eu

the uk can just gently caress off without a deal, however, and that would be insanely funny and also probably kill tens of thousands of people within a month

this is true. of course, the deal is simply a withdrawal agreement which when it expires will very conceivably mean no-deal brexit.

Boris already agreed to some EU terms, I think it's just needing to pass some internal poo poo in the UK? And then get ratified again by the EU?

Technically the EU can't like, force the UK to stay, but the UK has to figure out a way to maintain trade agreements and diplomatic arrangements with EU states. Previously this has all been just part of being part of the EU, but now poo poo like "can you ship a thing to/from the continent" has to be readdressed.

If the UK bails without a deal at all the default answer will be "no" and the EU will prevent individual countries from negotiating it separately.

Basically the US, Canada, and the Scandinavian states become the UK's only real trade partners.

The final betrayal...

Ed Balls, a former Labour minister, has said on ITV News that Brexit played a part in the result but certainly wasn’t the only factor.

Comparing this election to 1983, he said part of the reason for the huge loss then was “a leader who didn’t command public trust and a manifesto that people feared was going to be expensive and difficult for them to deal with”.

He said Labour candidates had been hearing on the doorsteps that voters were fearful about security.

it's good to note that under labour i would of become an employee with worker rights. a lot of the people i worked with were against becoming workers and having rights because it would of been bad for the company.

these people also complain about low wages, no job security and no shifts.

i can honestly say im not going to bother striking with them again or showing sympathy for when they are fired by email.

now everything makes sense, I didn't realize the brexit party pulled out of tory ridings, because I expected vote splitting equally. pretty brilliant move honestly and requires a hell of a lot of discipline to form a party with the full acknowledgement that you're acting as a spoiler and have no other reason to exist.
