Trump having a joint conference with Irish PM Leo Varadkar –
Trump {Re: Brexit}: It will work out well, with your wall, your border. We have a border situation in the US & you have one over here. But I here its going to work out very well.
Varadkar turns to Trump: “The main point is that, we want to avoid a border.”

That chart makes sense.

It does make sense
Basically it says
We are angry
We really dont know why but we want to do something different even if it destroys us in the process
Its what happens when you are stubborn and short sited and dont think about long term consequences
…… but you know what they dont care because they are just mad
-
And did I mention that they are just mad
-
Like Trump voters.
-
This is all simple. Brexit won, they move out. If you don’t, good luck with anyone taking your “democracy” seriously anymore. And people wonder why violence happens in these fake democracies

It turns out, kpack, that there are values in this world more important than money.

Maybe but
You can jump off a bridge because you are angry at the world……. good chance you die or get hurt bad
Perhaps the anger was worth it
chap for sake of anger is stupidity

If there were anything coherent about that post, I’d respond to it.
-
That also is not surprising
When you are consumed by anger and enthralled by your own victimization how can you possibly think coherently enough to understand a basic analogy
Its actually kinda sad

[h1]Boris Johnson Says He Could Pass No Deal Brexit[/h1]
Boris Johnson claimed in a [link=https://link.axios.com/click/17303591.16347/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYmJjLmNvbS9uZXdzL3VrLXBvbGl0aWNzLTQ4NzUxNTI3P3V0bV9zb3VyY2U9bmV3c2xldHRlciZ1dG1fbWVkaXVtPWVtYWlsJnV0bV9jYW1wYWlnbj1uZXdzbGV0dGVyX2F4aW9zd29ybGQmc3RyZWFtPXdvcmxk/58af12c227fdb0d83d8b51d9Bcf77c6a2]BBC[/link] interview that a no deal Brexit could get through the U.K. Parliament if he is chosen as the next prime minister.
Johnson claimed that politics have changed so much since the original Brexit deadline, and both major parties face mortal retribution from the electorate if the U.K. doesnt leave by the October 31 deadline.

If the Brits leave the EU the desperation to get a quick deal with the US will be palpable.
Say what you will about Trump, but he knows when he’s got someone bent over and a$$ in the air.

Boris Johnson is genuinely saying that we, the UK, “can use the leverage of a trade deal to get the USA to raise their own standards (on animal welfare).”
Yes that’s definitely going to happen, isn’t it. The US farming industry will bend to the UK.

Boris Johnsons Brother Quits Parliament[/h1]
Boris Johnsons six week old premiership has been thrown into fresh disarray after his own brother quit the government in protest at his Brexit strategy, [link=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-09-05/cabinet-backlash-against-johnson-grows-brexit-update]Bloomberg[/link] reports.
After three days of relentless humiliation, the beleaguered prime minister will attempt to launch a fightback with a speech later. He will appeal directly to the public, saying only a fresh general election can resolve the political crisis engulfing Britain.

Damning from the court judgment:It was incumbent on the govt to show a valid reason for prorogation, having regard to the constitutional importance of parliamentary scrutiny of executive action. The circs, particularly the length, showed that the purpose was to prevent such scrutiny.
And
The Court will make an order declaring that the PMs advice to the Queen and prorogation which followed thereon was unlawful and is thus null and void and had no effect.

[h1]Fears of no-deal chaos as ministers forced to publish secret Brexit papers[/h1]
Operation Yellowhammer documents predict public disorder, rising prices and disruptions to food and medicinesA no-deal [link=https://www.theguardian.com/politics/eu-referendum]Brexit[/link] could result in rising food and fuel prices, disruption to medicine supplies and public disorder on Britains streets, according to secret documents the government was forced by MPs to publish on Wednesday.
A [link=https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/831199/20190802_Latest_Yellowhammer_Planning_assumptions_CDL.pdf]five-page document spelling out the governments planning assumptions[/link] under Operation Yellowhammer the governments no-deal plan was disclosed in response to a humble address motion.
The content of the document was strikingly similar to the [link=https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/aug/18/no-deal-brexit-key-points-of-operation-yellowhammer-report]plan leaked to the Sunday Times in August[/link], which the government dismissed at the time as out of date.
That document was described as a base case; but the new document claims to be a worst-case scenario.

[b]UK wants to keep its new Brexit proposals secret from EU member states[/b]
Downing Streets secrecy over its underwhelming [link=https://www.theguardian.com/politics/eu-referendum]Brexit[/link] proposals has caused a fresh rupture in the negotiations in Brussels.
The row centres on a demand that the EUs negotiating team treat a long-awaited cache of documents outlining the UKs latest ideas as Her Majestys government property.
The European commission team was told by Whitehall that the three confidential papers it had sent on Thursday evening should not be distributed to Brexit delegates representing the EUs 27 other member states.
Sources in Brussels said that in response the point was being made forcefully to the British negotiating team that all proposals would need to be made available for the EUs capitals to analyse for talks to progress.

[b]Boris Johnsons Suspension of Parliament Was Unlawful, U.K. Supreme Court Rules[/b][/h1]The British Supreme Court ruled on Tuesday that Prime Minister Boris Johnson [link=https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/10/world/europe/uk-brexit-parliament.html?module=inline]illegally suspended Parliament[/link], dealing him another heavy blow and thrusting the nations politics into even deeper turmoil, barely a month before Britain is scheduled to leave the European Union.
The unanimous decision, which upheld [link=https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/11/world/europe/uk-brexit-parliament-prorogue.html?module=inline]a ruling from Scotlands highest civil court[/link], said that the suspension of Parliament until Oct. 14 is void meaning that the lawmakers are still in session and can continue [link=https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/10/world/europe/uk-brexit-parliament.html?module=inline]the debate over Brexit that was short-circuited[/link] when Mr. Johnson asked the queen to suspend, or prorogue, Parliament for five weeks.
The decision to advise Her Majesty to prorogue Parliament was unlawful because it had the effect of frustrating or preventing the ability of Parliament to carry out its constitutional functions without reasonable justification, said Baroness Brenda Hale, the president of the court, speaking for the 11-judge panel that heard the case.[/h2]
The prime ministers advice to Her Majesty was unlawful, void and of no effect, she said. Parliament has not been prorogued.

Reporting now that the Queen is seeking legal advice as she considers sacking Boris Johnson as PM after he lied to her about prorugation.
Last time that happened … 1834.-
[h1]Boris Johnson Will Seek Brexit Extension If No Agreement Reached by Oct 19[/h1]
Boris Johnson will send a letter to the EU asking for a Brexit delay if no deal is agreed by 19 October, according to government papers submitted to a Scottish court, the [link=https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-49936352]BBC[/link] reports.
[link=https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/oct/04/boris-johnson-will-write-to-eu-requesting-article-50-extension-court-told-brexit]The Guardian[/link]: The undertaking appears to directly contradict the prime ministers statements that the UK will leave the EU on 31 October regardless, and unattributed claims from Downing Street that Johnson will find a way to sidestep the act.

Boris Johnson ‘on brink of Brexit deal’ after border concessions
Guardian: negotiating teams have agreed in principle that there will be a customs border down the Irish Sea. A similar arrangement was rejected by May as a deal that no UK PM could accept-
And -*poof*- that deal is gone…
Boris Johnson Ready to Seek Brexit Extension:
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson will send a letter to the EU seeking an extension if there is no Brexit agreement by Saturday, the Guardian reports.
Johnson, in the past, has repeatedly ruled out seeking an extension.
BBC: Have UK voters changed their minds on Brexit?

Letwin amendment passes
The Johnson government loses.
322 to 306.
This withholds approval of the prime ministers deal until the legislation to enact it the EU withdrawal bill is passed.
Johnson wanted an up or down vote on his plan … now he says he may cancel that vote.
This will force him to seek an extension from the EU.-
Boris Johnson says he will not ask for an extension despite the legal requirement that he do so by today.
Potential constitutional crisis coming in the UK-
Summary:
Thank you for following the blog today and for all your comments. Here is a summary of the days main developments.
[ul][*][b]Boris Johnson has until 11pm to request an extension to Brexit from the EU after losing a vote on an amendment tabled by Oliver Letwin.[/b] The Letwin amendment, which puts a brake on Brexit, was passed by 322 votes to 306.[*][b]The prime minister insisted he would not negotiate a delay with the EU, and neither does the law compel me to do so. [/b]Jeremy Corbyn told him he must comply with the law and the SNPs Ian Blackford warned Johnson could end up in court.[*][b]The leader of the house, Jacob Rees-Mogg, said another meaningful vote would be held on Monday.[/b] But the speaker, John Bercow, indicated he might not allow this as it would be curious or irregular attempt to invalidate the result of todays vote.[*][b]Bercow also indicated that he could write the letter to the EU requesting an extension if instructed to by a judge or MPs.[/b] Number 10 has yet to clarify whether Johnson will send the letter.[*][b]The Peoples Vote campaign claims 1 million people have joined a march in London demanding they get a say on any Brexit deal.[/b] John McDonnell, Caroline Lucas and Anna Soubry were among those who addressed the crowds after the parliamentary vote.

The British government formally asked the European Union to delay the countrys departure for the third time, a request Prime Minister Boris Johnson had long resisted, the [link=https://www.wsj.com/articles/u-k-parliament-poised-to-force-delay-on-critical-brexit-vote-11571484241?mod=breakingnews]Wall Street Journal[/link] reports.
Mr. Johnson, who has rejected delaying Brexit, didnt sign the letter. He also sent a second letter urging EU leaders not to grant an extension.
The request, in a letter to European Council President Donald Tusk sent late Saturday, marks a political setback for Mr. Johnson just days after he successfully concluded a renegotiation of Britains EU withdrawal terms that his political opponents assumed was all but impossible.
