End Of An Era?

Could this ring the death knell of the use of 'Vichy', 'Quisling', 'traitors', 'VBQ' etc by geezers in The Answerbank?

Just been perusing more of the Conservative 2017 Manifesto.
It is a gem of a document. It is unintentionally funny with hindsight, and full of the most optimistic wishful thinking that you would ever encounter.
It is interesting to compare the picture painted in that document with the dystopian reality we have two years later.
See for yourself the empty promises May made:

//She negotiated a deal with the EU that the majority of MPs constantly reject. They reject it, not because they are traitors, but because they believe it is not the best outcome for the country.//

A sentiment with which I entirely agree. No self-respecting MP could vote for the deal (of which I have read the majority) and no self-respecting Prime MInister should ever have put it before the HOC. But we are where we are and must move on. The "Agreement" was simply a list of terms which the EU wishes to impose on the the UK (in addition to a bill for £39bn) in order to allow us to leave without causing ius too much trouble. It was never an agreement, just a list of demands. It seems fairly clear that the EU will not substantially alter their demands so that leaves just one alternative - leave without an agreement.
