The only silver lining is hopefully after No Deal we will get a second, successful independence referendum. Then we will never again be led into the abyss of moronic decisions by the English. Any future moronic decisions will be the will of the Scottish people.

But that will be after no deal so a lot of people will suffer and die first so I can’t even really be pleased about that.

I used to keep my German friend updated about Brexit but now I’m too embarrassed.

Ok so there is basically a hard deadline on the EU side in which the UK couldn't weasel out or demand some sort of extension to being kicked out?

The deadline is on the UK side, its up to them to agree on the terms already stipulated and they can unilaterally cancel article 50. But the tories being the government right now and their party being pretty divided on the issue will just cause a complete fracturing of their party and a generation of full communism by Corbyn and they'd rather the country descend into madness than let that happen.

Laffo, for some reason I thought they would have actual Brits on staff. Of course it's just the US toilet paper staff creating a ton of accounts, because finding actual local youth Tories to run the sites would betray the TP ideal of always doing the dumbest possible thing.

The UK government may request an extension because the UK is incredibly unprepared for a no deal exit. Previously the EU has only said that they would allow an extension for special circumstances such as a change in government and if all EU members agree to an extension. Maybe they'll take pity on the UK and allow an extension or something (or maybe just to avoid the chaos of a no deal brexit which would also affect the rest of the EU which could lead to the joy of the UK being in a perpetual state of leaving the EU)
The EU has also said that the UK can revoke article 50 at any point which would immediately cancel brexit.

Clean Deal Brexit seems to be what businesses and other countries seem to prepare for as the most likely case now, while at the end of last year they still, probably unreasonably, assumed a withdrawal agreement and transition phase could be reached prior to 29 March 2019. And at least anecdotally the briefings at my employer (big4 tax services) now base everything around Clean Deal Brexit.

I imagine a kick the can scenario would be more likely especially given all the leaks show a hard Brexit would have a big impact on basic things like food and medicine.

step 1: revoke a50

Not even the Brits know what the gently caress they are doing, how is a court supposed to determine that? Under normal circumstances, it's literally impossible to deprive a nation of EU membership against its will. It's gonna be at the very least very difficult in this case

The EU has been very clear: Revocation means revocation. If the UK starts Brexiting again, the EU will consider the revocation invalid, which will immediately eject the UK from the EU at any point after the current deadline.

Nah, I think they stopped using that term already. My guess is that they prefer the ambiguity of "No deal" (i.e. some people thinking that it means nothing changes) to the more understandable and less spinnable "Clean Break Brexit".
