Huh, it still has to pass the House of Lords? With all the focus on the House of Commons, I wasn't sure if it had to. If you hadn't said that they were willing to rubber stamp it, I'd have imagined it potentially being a lovecraftian nightmare to get through. Unless they generally rubber stamp things coming from the House of Commons anyway.

They are usually a rubber stamp House

Innsmouth isn't part of the EU, tho'. It's not even on the same side of the atlantic. American grasp of geography is bad but it's not bad enough to teleport a massachusetts town to europe...

American grasp of geography is almost as bad as American grasp of history or bants

American geographical names were either appropriated from natives or named after places in the old world; were Innsmouth real, it'd be named after any number of the Mouths in the old world

There's even a Dunwich in England

Is it horrible?

It's a dilapidated village that's the only remnant of a once great town, now swept beneath the seas

Theresa Mays asked the EU to push back the deadline to 20th June, with a provision to end immediately if a deal is agreed between UK and EU. BBC political analyst says that the EU is likely to not want to approve a second such one-month extension, but might approve a longer one now that the “and if we come to a deal we drop out immediately instead of running down the clock” is on the table

In time you shall come to understand the true failure of my negotiations... In the darkest Brexit.

Isn't that going to run up right against the fact that they have to decide whether or not to participate in the EU elections (she seems to have ruled that out) and if they decide not to participate, I've read that if they're still in the EU by the time the EU Parliament next meets up (in July or August I think), it creates a legal mess.

Basically, if they decide not to participate in the EU elections, theres going to be a hard cap on how much further they can extend things.

Initial indications seem to show that Tusk is in favour of this extension deal, though it needs to Ben ratified by an emergency council of the EU

[smjjames]

Yeah, I've read that he'd rather try to avoid disaster as long as possible, but the problem I'm talking about is a legal one that doesn't have a political solution other than participating in the EU elections.

Still, EU ministers are saying it's too vague to be justified and Macron wants a concrete plan, so, that extension might not even happen.

AFAIK, that extension to May 22nd or whatever hasn't been approved yet either.

EU's proposed Terrorist Content regulation shockingly enables governments to censor free speech.

Also, because I found this particularly absurd- takedown requests require compliance within the hour.

I don't think even a coporation with the resources of Google is capable of complying whitin an hour to any requests.
