What, sort of like BreturnâŚ
Chances of getting this debated in the UK Parliament is akin to threading a camel through the eye of a needle
Certainly while Doris and his sorry excuse for a drinks cabinet are running the ship anyway.
As to the petition - unless you can get more than 17 million signatures, I doubt the government will listen. Actually, even if you got 67 million signatures, they wonât listen.
It wonât happen while the Tories have a working majority. Iâd be amazed if Labour came from where they were last time to a majority next time, so thatâs another 40 months.
Erratum. 40 months this parliament + 48 the next, if both run to term.
Perhaps you have not heard but Petitions and Private Members Bills have all been suspended.
Nothing will take place in Westminster Hall at all. The reason given is that they do not want so many people on the Westminster Estate.
Boris is becoming more and more like his friend Trump.
The trouble is that Brexit will make things worse for most people in lots of little ways, rather than one big hit. Unless there is a political appetite (no chance before 2024) it will not happen.
I donât think the EU would be wise to even consider allowing the UK to rejoin. Not because I donât want them back in the family, but because it would be completely foolhardy from a political and pragmatic perspective.
Itâs a little like what Trump has done to European attitudes about NATO and the US; once trust and expectations of support are broken they canât be repaired - the assumption has to be that any new administration can/will reverse the policy of the prior one.
So unless the question was âDoes the UK commit to re-joining the EU for at least 50 years, with a $500bn non-refundable âdamage depositâ?â then it would be crazy for the EU to expose itself to the risk of a re-Brexit, with all the associated pain and suffering, in the future.
There was an article I read this morning which suggested that some MEPs are sad that the UK is no longer in the chamber - if only for the âentertainmentâ value the likes of Farridge and his squaw Widdecombe provided
Agreed, for that reason and also, the Maestro of sephology, Prof Curtice [Strathclyde U], the last assessment of his that I saw came out with much the same result of the original Refâdum.
However, since then, Bojo has Got Brexit Done! And the evils thereof are as 1 Peter 5:8 âBe sober, be vigilant; because your adversary [insert name of your most loathed Brexiteer here], as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:âŚâ
