Ok but does all that ammo even work anymore after spending 40 years seasoning in an Irish bog, or is the plan to point a machine gun at the cashier for a local corner store and yell "pow pow POW POW"?


Edit: sorry I think the term for bodega over there now is "off license"

Bogs preserve things very well since they're virtually oxygen-free. There was a project a while back to dig up a WW2 Spitfire that had crashed and sunk into a bog in north-west Ireland. A couple of days after the excavation finished they had the Browning machine guns from the plane cleaned up and firing live ammunition.

Thankfully any stashes left over from the Troubles will have been rusting away in the cellars of abandoned farmhouses.

There is no way in hell it will pass, and then Boris can say he tried his best and make it look like it’s parliament’s fault, and crash on through to no deal

then when everything starts going to poo poo he will be able to say, “if we only we had had a pro-Boris majority in the House of Commons then we would have had a deal” and the Tories will win the majority in the next election

Had to look up what that was:

quote:

Tournedos Rossini is a French steak dish, named after 19th century composer Gioachino Rossini. Its invention is attributed to French master chef Marie-Antoine Carême or Adolphe Dugléré, or Savoy Hotel chef Auguste Escoffier.

The dish comprises a beef tournedos (filet mignon), pan-fried in butter, served on a crouton, and topped with a hot slice of fresh whole foie gras briefly pan-fried at the last minute. The dish is garnished with slices of black truffle and finished with a Madeira demi-glace sauce.

Ah yes, traditional British fare, great metaphor

maybe - i do think that leave won't have the same power not the level of press support that it had last time. farage looks set to boycott the entire affair, and that's a couple of percentage points in its own. i agree it's a risk and i think labour's current policy is basically the most reasonable one possible, but corbyn has a chance to win big from a referendum

I think l so yeah but also in this version Boris will pretend like he's a very smart prime minister of deals and assume leave voters won't notice.

he apparently said that back in march before we got an extension so its a threat to force MPs to vote for the deal

of course why would the ERG and other hard brexit nutters vote for the deal if no deal is back

You've done well, kiddo.
But Junker has no say over any extension offered? It's the council that decides that and he is not a part of that. Now if Donald Tusk said there would not be an extension it would be concerning.

If parliament rejects this one too, there really is no good reason from the EU perspective to grant an extension and continue these pointless negotiations

I guess there's the prospect of Article 50 being rescinded with a new parliament. And Boris is still obligated to send that letter if the deal is rejected by parliament. I dunno, I feel like there's a lot of bluffing going on here

tbf, this would work if even just 10% of the country went and did it because what are the cops gonna do, they can't jail literally millions of people (yet).

XR doesn't have nearly that many people behind them yet tho, i think they're getting a bit ahead of themselves lmao
