She's currently on holiday in Cyprus - Didn't the EU wreck them or has she forgotten that fact?

She's currently 'on holiday' due to death threats against her here in the UK...

Such is the amazing and amazingly sad polarization and disunity that has been foisted upon us... All a sad excuse for small extremist factions to be stirred?


We are supposed to have progressed since the days of King Henry VIII...

Suggest you read the report again. She received the threats while in Cyprus, so your argument is non-existent.

Still death threats, and still due to Brexit 'politics'... Still extremist and poisonous. And still threatening.

And you go where you feel safest when threatened...


We really do need to improve our culture to something better...

From BBC:)
Today.
House of Commons Speaker John Bercow announced the results, revealing that MPs had rejected:
Leaving the EU with no deal on 12 April
Unilaterally dropping the plan to leave the EU if no deal is reached by 12 April
A new referendum on any deal/s to leave the EU
Leaving the EU but staying in a customs union with the 27 EU states
Two variations on leaving the EU but staying in the European Economic Area (EEA) and rejoining the European Free Trade Association (EFTA)
Negotiating changes to the Withdrawal Agreement more in line with the Labour Party's position
Agreeing with the EU a period of two years in which UK goods have full access to EU markets

What happens next?
A good question.

Are we anywhere near the end of all this?
No.

For the third time, the British Parliament voted against Theresa Mays' exit agreement with the EU on Friday.
Now the uncertainty continues for at least two weeks...

European Council President Donald Tusk calls for a new summit with EU Heads of State and Government. The message came on Twitter shortly after Britain voted no to Theresa Mays exit agreement.

"With reference to the rejection of the exit agreement from the House of Commons, I have decided to call for a summit on April 10," Tusk writes on his Twitter account.

April 10 being significant because we're approaching a European-wide election for the EU Parliament. Elections take place between May 23 and May 26 (different countries vote on different days of the week). If any country is going to stay a member of the EU after the elections, then they have to hold their own election on time.

That means us.

UK law says that if an election is going to take place on May 23 (our day of the week is Thursday), the process has to start by April 11. So April 10 really is the last day to change our minds, and tell everybody else what the hell we're up to.

Knowing that, it makes one wonder why April 12 was selected.

To make the decision when it was absolutely too late for us to change our minds?

We could save money by having a combined General and EU election on May 23...

I get the impression that the views on Brexit have changed significantly since the referendum, if the numbers of supporters that marched in the last week mean anything.

Pro-Brexit March - 29th March vs People's Vote march to Westminster - 23rd March

Shades of the Supremes. :-)
In an interview with the Sunday Times, the Remain campaigner said the party needed a leader for the "2020s, not the 1920s".
I second that eMotion

One hell of a speech

But what happens here? A politician references that speech & he gets attacked for endorsing the Far Right! What planet are those fools on? It certainly isn't this one.
