Also apparently France is saying they're going to veto a short-term extension request unless there's serious guarantee a deal will be accepted in short order? Something like that.  _{if you're under the impression may can do jack all to guarantee that, you'd be right :V}

Plus Belgium, Spain and maybe Italy. It's basically them saying that theres no point in negotiating further if it keeps getting rejected after this long, plus implying that Macron thinks that the whole Brexit debacle is getting in the way of his plans (to be fair, it's likely getting in the way of EVERYBODYS plans).

Looks like May is just going to attempt to do the same thing and didn't take alternatives seriously. Also, the schism in the Labor party made Corbyn walk out.

Also, a bunch of smaller parties put out a joint statement saying that they should do a continuous session until they figure something out and have revocation of article 50 as a last resort.[/url].

I see a very clear French block there

I can't decide whether you're making a pun on the word bloc or not, or maybe a historical reference.

[ChairmanPoo]

Neither. IIRC: In EU politics France, Italy and Spain often work as an "alliance" of sorts. Kind of like the Franco-German axis, but mostly when French and German goverments have different opinions.

I see then. Also, Theresa May made a major math error in her speech. She says that the Brexit referendum started three years ago, yet she says 'two years on'. What happened to the missing time period between 'nearly three years' and 'two years', hm? Clearly, she doesn't want to admit to wasting time with the failed snap election attempt.

[ChairmanPoo]

I think 'Two years on' is a reference to the Article 50 timeline. Which specifies that two years after triggering IE: April Fool's day 2019, the country that triggered it drops out of the EU.

[Kagus]

It's either that, or we've gone so deep into The Brexit Referendimension that time simply has no meaning anymore.

[hector13]

She has basically called MPs voting against her time-wasting idiots playing games.

Unsure if her incompetence is real or she has masterfully manipulated proceedings to potentially halt Brexit.

[Frumple]

Maybe she just got real confused by a mirror, like some kind of inebriated cat?

[smjjames]

Even an incompetent inebriated cat clock is right at least once in a while.

Why the roughly one year split between the referendum and actually triggering it

The general election was called after she triggered it.

Brexit is over

[hector13]

Mrs. May might not even allow parliament to vote on her deal for a third time unless she’s convinced there’s support for the thing what parliament rejected by a huge margin two times already.

I foresee pissing into the wind for three more weeks.

I think all she’s doing now is seeing how long she can remain prime minister.

[RedKing]

Brexit is over

There is no spoon

Now I want to see Farage recruit David Blaine to his Death-Eaters, and the fate of Britain will be decided with a wizard's duel in front of 10 Downing.
