Theresa May - Hell has no fury has Brexiteers being scorned!!!!



Leaked legal advice from the Attorney General Geoffrey Cox has warned Britain could be trapped 'indefinitely' in the EU's customs union


BRITAIN would be locked “indefinitely” into the EU’s customs union if Theresa May’s Brexit deal proposal was passed, leaked documents of the attorney-general’s legal advice claim.

The details have been suppressed with senior ministers saying the Prime Minister has refused to publish the advice because it highlights that the UK could end up being trapped in a “backstop” arrangement with Brussels.




The Sunday Times claims it has seen the letter Geoffrey Cox wrote to cabinet ministers last month.

It says: “The protocol would endure indefinitely.”



The country’s top legal officer added that the only way the UK could get out of the backstop would be to sign a new trade agreement, which could take years.

But he said Britain would only stay trapped if those talks collapsed.

Below from the above...only a draft so not much in it?......no wonder the so called deal was done so quickly...



The former minister added the deal approved on Sunday is just a draft, since Brussels and London have left “so much to negotiate”, including a trade deal and a way to avoid a hard border between Ireland and Northern Ireland.

He continued: “With so much left to negotiate, we must take a clear-eyed view on the strength of our position.

Poikka #8287: Enjoy reading your posts, we sing from the same sheet I think. Trying to get my head round the way you see things panning out. In the event of the Govt losing the MV, yes Starmer and co could call for a no confidence vote but at that point the letters to Brady would likely have tipped past the 48 threshold and a party leadership contest triggered. Assuming it still goes ahead, the Govt could lose the confidence vote especially if the DUP withdraws support but tough it out until there's a new leader such as, hopefully, Boris or JRM who would get support from the DUP and get us out of the EU end March. Also think that many Tory MPs have held back their letters until the MV but this could well change if it transpires that the she hasn't told the full story re: the detailed legal advice to her cabinet, and it emerges that we could end up being unable to leave the customs union because the EU could, and no doubt would, prevent it from happening. Crucially though the default position is that we leave with no deal.

Looks as if May has to go now.

If the WA fails to be approved by Parliament, Starmer & co will go for a vote of no confidence.

If they get that vote and it fails to support the Government, we get a General Election, which, if May is still leader, Labour might win.

If they get that vote and it doesn't succeed, it makes a mockery of the Tories for killing off the WA, but still supporting May - but the odds are that it would succeed.

So the only solution left for the Tories is to ditch May now, unless they like gambling on crazy odds.

Kinda check-mate.

PC GONE MAD: Criticising migration could become CRIMINAL offence under new plan



A LEADING MEP has warned EU citizens they could be “jailed” for criticising
migration policies if a new United Nations agreement is acted upon.



“One basic element of this new agreement is the extension of the definition of hate speech.

“The agreement wants to criminalise migration speech. Criticism of migration will become a criminal offence.

“Media outlets that give room to criticism of migration can be shut down.

Did anybody see the big fight early hours this morning?...was it really a draw or a fix?...as a draw it would be seen as unfinished business...so the hunger to make more money for fighters, promoters, sponsors, TV rights etc etc is kept alive....how much money did both the boxers make from the draw?...
