If Leo’s response is anything less than, ‘Come back to us when you’re being serious’ than I fear the worst
The EU are getting the white vestments ready for Leo.
Half of this is Boris negotiating down the DUP as much as trying to get something better from us
That’s exactly what it is we’ll have the original NI backstop under a different guise by the end of the month
He’s cornered in. His approach is to prove how hard he’s trying to fight his way out. This will play well with the bread and butter right in the UK and the Unionists up north. If they can convince enough equivelants of the harmless right over there, the likes of @balbec and @flattythehurdler say for example over here, he’ll surely succeed.
That said one thing that should not be lost in all of this is the rest of Europe actually staying unified in all of this. Thats actually incredible, almost miraculous. For anyone who knows their History this is the real hope to be garnered from this whole unfortunate episode. Assuming it holds for amother 3 weeks

Nothing can unite people like a desire to put the Brits in their place.

Just watched a highlights program on BBC of the Conference. Fuck me, but some of those front benchers are reprehensible cunts. Their scripts today were embarrassing.

Johnson’s speech was basically an after dinner speech at a wedding. And they lapped it up. Fucking morons.

I heard him say that Britain needed the Conservatives to drive a “ Free Market “ & Capitalism. 
I think yis are very naive, lads
If you’d asked me three or four weeks ago I thought Johnson would fold and ask for the extension but I now think he’ll shamelessly break the law while gaslighting that he isn’t
There’s a very common view here that the DUP can be bought off on this - that’s been proven completely wrong again and again
This is proper scorched earth stuff, the full Bannon
There are two remedies - the courts or an alternative government, and I think the second one is probably going to have to come into play, as the timeline in the courts will be tight
Johnson could get a lackey, a Robert Bork type, to request the extension, but what’s the real difference between the lackey requesting it and him requesting it, nothing
There’s even some loose talk that he wants to get put in jail for a (very) short time and be a Brexit martyr because he thinks it will ensure he wins the election
If I was calling it now I’d say temporary alternative government and an extension, but I say that with no confidence - and the forming of that temporary government would be fraught with problems
It doesn’t matter to him if his offer is rejected, he’s shored up the leave vote and with the opposition divided he’s done enough to get elected. Simples. You’ll be smashing your guitar on election night.
That he will.
I love the way all these murderous invasions have such Orwellian codenames
Operation Peace Spring
Operation Iraqi Freedom
If Boris Johnson sent the British Army to invade Ireland again it would probably be codenamed Operation Hundred Thousand Welcomes
Anything on the invasion of Colleen Rooney’s privacy .
Operation Sun, Hacks, Colleen Pops at Prego
How does one become a grandee exactly? The Tory party seem to have no end of them

I still don’t know what a “one out runner” is in rugby terms, but it sounds like an appropriate description of Rebekah Vardy
Why do these idiots think Leo coming over for a chat means the EU is ready to bend over?
Because he’s used to it.
Blueshirt that he is
Jokes aside.
They actually believe it’s a sign of EU weakness, do they understand that Ireland are in dire straits because of their fuckhawkery.
The levels of splits in relation to Party policy, general consensus of where negotiations are etc from the Tories is actually unbelievable.
The fuckwit on just there was waffling on in a completely different tune to what Peter Bone had just said earlier in the segment.
They haven’t a fucking notion what they are pedalling to the media.
