    Said the American. How many WW2/Holocaust movies are being filmed in Hollywood at this very moment. I've never seen a people and meaningless event more glamorized than "D-Day". And now you attempt to include your precious ethnics in my peoples history.
    hollywood made a black james bond historically inaccurate

    Neither side is being entirely realistic here. As disastrous as a "no deal" would be, it might at least focus the minds better to hammer something more acceptable out.
    It would take years. Trade deals are complex enough as it is. Imagine massively parallel bilateral negotiations. It may not be an exaggeration to suggest it could take a decade for the UK to renormalize trade relations with the world.

    It would be doing so from a position of weakness the whole way. A no deal Brexit will be a very hard knock.

    the vote was very close, and the Leavers LIED about everything, giving the idiots, those who bothered enough to engage, the impression BREXIT would be painless

    btw, the the guy who was main financier of BREXIT campaign is married to a Russian and has business connections in Russia. I'm sure Pootin compensated him well after the vote.
    Labour had a number of leaders inclined towards leave. Jeremy Corbyn indicated he did not know how he would vote if it was voted on again. So No. The UK made their own bed. It was poorly thought out and long-term thinking sometimes does not go well with populist fervor.

    You are still convinced Trump was voted in by Russia, time to get off it.

    its already been 2 years

    They will NEVER iron any deal out. This has always been and will always be a clean Brexit or a remain. Thats it and thats all
    unless there's a re-referendum, no deal remains the likely result.

    the May/EU deal is DOA.

    there is “no question” of further Brexit negotiations if the deal struck by Theresa May is rejected, Angela Merkel has said.

    unless a superceding agreement be made by the end of 2020, the draft deal means the UK will be subject to EU rule indefinitely:

    In the crucial phrasing of Article 1 of the Protocol on Ireland, we see stated that the objective of the withdrawal agreement "is not to establish a permanent relationship between the Union and the United Kingdom".

    Thus we are informed that the provisions of the Protocol are "intended to apply only temporarily", a claim on which Mrs May relies when she tells us that it is of no great significance.

    The problem arises, however, with the Article stating that the provisions of the Protocol apply" unless and until they are superseded, in whole or in part, by a subsequent agreement".

    Article 2 then tells us that the EU and the UK "shall use their best endeavours" to conclude, by 31 December 2020, an agreement which supersedes the Protocol "in whole or in part", so coinciding with the end of the transition period, when the Protocol comes into force.

    In theory, in concluding a superseding agreement by this date, the Protocol never comes into force and the problems inherent in its application are avoided. But, in practical terms, the "best endeavours" phrasing is meaningless. It does not create a legal commitment to any defined timescale. It is simply an aspiration.

    Mrs May has in effect agreed we should remain for an indefinite period in the customs union specified in the Protocol.

    The EU will be calling literally all the shots, from making all the rules without consulting us and subject to the rulings of the European Court of Justice, to deciding when this compromise arrangement will end.

    But the EU has not stopped there. It piles on the agony demanding that, "with the aim of ensuring the proper functioning of the single customs territory", a huge raft of additional measures must be adopted. Amongst other things, this means we must accept in its entirety all the EU's climate and energy agenda.

    All this, says Booker, was why Mrs May was greeted with ridicule when she yet again intoned her robotic mantra that the agreement showed us "taking back control of our laws".

    Richard North points to a possible third way:

    Even at this stage, though, Mrs May could get herself off the hook by moving to adopt the Efta/EEA option although, even now she is denying that this would solve the Irish border problem.

    No Brexit is the UK's best bet if there's still time, no deal Brexit would be an epochal act of self-wounding.

    No Brexit itself is a bad option in that it's a straight up you to voters. All the options are bad.

    There is no time. Especially if the government falls and there are elections. If there would be a referendum, maybe the EU extends the deadline, otherwise it's just watching the Brits rearrange the chairs on anic, and uncertainty and limbo is bad for business.

    I really doubt they will extend the deadline. It is set for March 29 when UK is out.

    Calling it now before it gets delayed we will see another general election and Jeremy Corbin can finally sit on his rightful throne as PM

    Hes our only hope

    " the people and country - as long as our guy is in charge" is exactly why Britain is such a mess.

    p.s. May will win tomorrow, and you'll be exactly where you are now, only with less time and close to hard brexit.

    What are you babbling about? Its time for Corbin to take charge. He leads the biggest party in europe and is most popular politician in last few years. Isnt it time to give him a chance? yes

    p.s. May will win tomorrow, and you'll be exactly where you are now, only with less time and close to hard brexit.
    The no confidence vote? Sure she might win but only because Tories are terrified of a Corbin PM as he would put out lots of on illegal Tory moves (such as Corbin is anti semite campaigns, saudi involvement in brit politics qnd anti russia campaigns)and many would fall badly
