Is No Deal Now Innevitable?

They'll only get the extension if Parliament approves the deal as is. That seems unlikely given the numbers, so shall I order the champagne for next Friday?

No petition on that site's ever reached anything close to the total number of people supporting it, so that doesn't follow at all. For example, a petition arguing for a "No Deal" exit on 29th March, supposedly what all Leave voters wanted, didn't make it to half a million. I would assume that this is partly because people weren't aware of it, or think such petitions pointless, or tried to sign but weren't able to.

Also the number of signatures is still growing. I expect it will level out at some point around 5-6 million, which would still make it one of the largest ever petitions by volume in UK history, if not the largest.

That would be impressive, although not unexpected for a close referendum. Entirely pointless, as they are outvoted in any case.... but nothing wrong with having a whinge:-)

It's amazing the incentive losing the vote has on giving voice and activity to getting one's own choice instead. One can only imagine the counter voice and action if the majority who were in favour of leaving were denied. Meanwhile they're still awaiting the government to start doing the right thing, rather than look out for petitions to sign asking them to.

Is No Deal Now Innevitable?






To Theresa

“I feel psychically and very strongly that most British people do not want Brexit.

“I love you very much but I will not allow you to lead Britain into Brexit.

“As much as I admire you, I will stop you telepathically from doing this – and believe me I am capable of executing it.

“Before I take this drastic course of action, I appeal to you to stop the process immediately while you still have a chance.”



Well, there you have it...were staying in the EU.

‘One can only imagine the counter voice and action if the majority who were in favour of leaving were denied’

Isn’t that exactly what is happening?

TTT //If the prime minister can't get the deal through, the UK will have to propose a way forward by 12 April for EU leaders to consider."//

Yeah, and she won't. Which means she'll be gone, which means someone else will be going back to them on April 12th with a 'way forward' for them to 'consider'. Any ideas what the 'way forward' might be?
