Re: Kicking the can down the road (4.00 / 3)

although in this case I'm not sure kicking the can down the road for several months is an option. Not because the EU wouldn't allow it, but because the UK economy is on the brink of collapse.

Internal and inward investment has ceased, which means that we are stagnating economically. Brexit has sucked all the oxygen out of domestic politics to the extent that NOTHING is being done and everything is decaying.

We've had 30 months of this, I'm not sure how much longer we can keep this going.

All the more reason for the EU to kick the can down the road - if asked?

Not if there is no light down the tunnel.

Global Warming - distance between America and Europe is steadily increasing.

Re: Kicking the can down the road (none / 0)

walp, May has started the week dissembling her ass off.

She speaks, again, to simultaneously
reject the EU offer to extend "the negotiating period" (the "NO-BREXIT" option)
and
elect "her deal" (the EU-UK WITHDRAWAL AGREEMENT option),
while
surrogates (watch word of the month) flog
the "NO No-Deal" vote by parliament forthcoming.

EU Council will regret this appeasement. I told you (pl.) to let it go. ubn warned.

Diversity is the key to economic and political evolution.
