btb Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Found this Dutch joke about Brexit funny. Quote But mainly, a country they once felt they knew has become a mystery. When parliament sent Theresa May back to Brussels to renegotiate, the Dutch paper Trouw described it thus: “It’s a bit like the crew of the Titanic deciding, by majority vote, that the iceberg really must get out of the way.” 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radio conversation released by the Chief of Naval Operations 10-10-95. Americans: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the North to avoid a collision. Canadians: Recommend you divert YOUR course 15 degrees to the South to avoid a collision. Americans: This is the Captain of a US Navy ship. I say again, divert YOUR course. Canadians: No. I say again, you divert YOUR course. Americans: This is the aircraft carrier USS Lincoln, the second largest ship in the United States' Atlantic fleet. We are accompanied by three destroyers, three cruisers and numerous support vessels. I demand that YOU change your course 15 degrees north, that's one five degrees north, or countermeasures will be undertaken to ensure the safety of this ship. Canadians: This is a lighthouse. Your call. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole Brexit fiasco is very much like the film Titanic, we all know how it ends and we've just got to the part where we've seen Kate Winslet's tits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Any MP who claims they don’t want a No Deal Brexit and who gives May further time is abdicating their responsibility. May has a brass neck; two years of negotiations, a deal she agreed to that was decimated in Parliament, further talks that everyone knows is a waste of time and she’s asking for people to trust her. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that MP’s are allowed to “woof” at female members and suggest others commit suicide but are not allowed to call out blatant lying on an incredibly important subject is another reason Westminster should be binned immediately. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jedi Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Couldn't make it up...she asks for two weeks to go back to the EU and renegotiate the deal...EU immediately tell her where to get off. Now she comes back two weeks later, and asks for...another two or three weeks to renegotiate the deal. So..by the time we have a 'meaningful' vote on her deal (with no renegotiation) it will then be 4 weeks (at best) before the leaving date. As has been said what feels now like thousands of times, the initial 6 bills which have to pass the commons, plus reams of legal text has no chance of passing before March 29th, and that's even if her deal was voted through. A 'staged' no deal (in their words, there is obviously no such thing) must now be a stick on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
