Indeed

Three letters

1) The vote went against my proposal (so as I have to send it, it will be a photocopy which I won't sign)

2) One from Tim Barrow

3 A personal letter from BJ to Donald Tusk stating what HE wants.

How democratic of him.

It’s all academic, unless the EU can be persuaded that Parliament would make good use of an extension. If they’ve any sense, they’ll call time on this farcical process.

I am a remainer but even I'm getting bored with the whole thing and I imagine they are too.

Wouldn't suprise me if soon they turn round and just say "no more delay, you've messed us around long enough, you wanted to get so get out!"

I voted out but the UK should never activated article 50 till a deal or whatever had been sorted

Agreed but I think it was the EU who was insistent Article 50 was invoked before they'd start talking about a deal.

I wouldn't want to tar them all with the same brush, but a general election can't come soon enough.

These jokes are coming fast and furious now. Not surprised at all

The big problem for me is what the rest of the world thinks about us. We are all tainted with this embarrassing stigma!

Re: Boris Johnson`s letters to EU

Exactly. I also think John Bercow is power mad. (Along with many of them)

Bercrow is very foolish.
Problem is, no one is seeing past Oct 31st. The more these MPs keep trying for delay, the more they risk having decent opposition in next election.
Whether you like his motives or not, at the present time Johnson is commanding a MASSIVE percent of public voting intention. The opposition could be dealt a massive blow that could take decades to recover from.

Also, I genuinely believe if this deal doesn't pass, and another request for extension comes, the EU will most likely choose no deal and tell us to get out.
