Did Mrs May not consider consulting with Ms Foster and the DUP first?
I'm voting "she doesn't know what she's doing".
Oh deary me! The Brextremists are not enjoying the collapse of their precious Brexit. I'm enjoying watching it getting negotiated and backtracked out of existence!

This is all May’s fault (well Dave’s too I guess), she should never have called a GE after Article 50. It was obvious at the time and now we are paying the price; is this the worst political miscalculation and general f*ck up ever, time will tell I guess, wouldn’t be surprised.

You are better entertainment than anything on the telly.Do you think lorries are going to cross the Good Friday Agreement,or the land border into Ulster?Do you even understand where the island is,or do you think there is a magical irishpixy bridge to Brussels?

You don't appear to understand Nicola Sturgeon's point. That's fine - you're a bit special.
I honestly can't see how this is going to play out. The idea we won't be leaving the EU seems fanciful though, sadly - the nation remains in the grip of people like John Redwood and Iain Duncan Smith.

Nobody is scared. Its just a waste of time proposal given there was a parliamentary vote not to have another one and no one can envisage a Liberal Party government that would be needed for new legislation and a New Referendum Act…..all before march 2019
Original vote
Instruction to Leave the EU
In keeping with the democratic decision to Leave.
Proposed next vote on the deal(2nd referendum)
1/ Should the UK Leave the EU whilst accepting the withdrawal agreement.
Or
2/ Should the UK Leave the EU whilst rejecting the withdrawal agreement.
I cant see what extra dimension a public vote will add to the parliamentary vote already going to happen on this. Seems perfectly reasonable to let parliament be the decider on this one. You lot hate referendums anyway, and prefer governments to govern, bit odd to start liking them now.
What a shambles And all predicted by the Remainers.

What a shambles
To be fair, most people who had given any thought to Brexit, on both sides realised on 24th June 2016 that N.Ireland may be a bit of a problem but, as with every other issue, it was kicked into the long grass until the last possible date (today).
It seems that highlighting the perspective issues in advance is 'talking the country down'. And each time I have got into a conversation with [MENTION=599]beorhthelm[/MENTION] or [MENTION=33253]JC Footy Genius[/MENTION] (I can't be arsed with the Two Profs, Ppf or the Nasty Porn King) they have always ended up with 'Well what do you think we should do ?"
So, just to make it clear what I would do.
1/ I wouldn't follow the signs that say 'To shit creek'
2/ I DEFINITELY wouldn't throw away my f***ing paddle

I didn't think that Theresa May was retarded but to think the DUP were ever going to sign up for a de facto split between the UK and NI, she's a ****ing lunatic

As a Remainer, I'd like to say I saw this sh*t storm coming but I didn't and I'm still trying to get my head around it. It looks to me as if May is caught between a rock and a hard place
1. UK maintains soft border with Eire - DUP pulls out of the agreement to keep May afloat - political suicide for May?
2. UK agrees implements hard border then Eire will simply veto any final Brexit deal? Suicide for May.
If UK stays in the Customs Union = no border problem, but the hard-line Brexiteers (some of them on this thread) will go mad. Would Labour then support May to push this version through? Surely not: they'd go for a General Election and take their chances.
I'm not sure if anyone could have written this situation as a narrative - but surely May should have seen it coming at some point. And of course had she not called the Election she wouldn't be in thrall with the DUP. And even the Good Friday Agreement isn't a trump card: the DUP weren't party to it. And just to throw into the mix that NI voted to remain. I've been following politics for 50 years and have never seen anything quite like this.
I even heard one Leaver MP saying the problem will be solved when Eire leaves the EU too!

Krankie is as stupid as the clown on here that wouldn't admit that Turkey had a border with Syria.
Come on then Nicci baby,where is Scotland's land border with the EU?
