It's all going according to the fuck knows chart, at least.

I guess my big question is, will the EU allow an extension? Reportedly that requires unanimous consent, which can be a tough row to hoe. Britain can't get an internal majority for any option. If but a single EU nation decides that no-deal hard-Brexit is their preference... It's basically a done deal, isn't it?

Idiot Farage has been trying to persuade as many of them as possible to do just that, and it only takes one nation to veto. Maybe one of them will succumb to his froglike charms. I don't like our chances. Then again, I like nothing about the whole process.

It would be amazing karma if it were Poland.
I mean it'd be terrible, don't get me wrong, but people would laugh about that for eons to come.
I mean they're going to laugh about this whole thing already, but extra hard.

Wait - why Poland?

Polish are the stereotypical cheap labor allegedly flooding in that we have to control, which like most everything else doesn't really have anything to do with Brexit, but tell that to the people that voted for it. There were memes about it around the time of the referendum.

After the referendum results were announced, cards containing the words "No more Polish Vermin" were distributed outside homes and schools in (

There are reports that some people who voted "Remain" in the referendum would now vote "Leave with No Deal" in a second one because they are fed up with the prolonged bickering and want it to end as soon as possible!

Fake news.

Now that would be hilarious, because a no deal Brexit doesn't end anything. It means starting over from scratch.
Even enacting the current negotiated deal ("May's deal") doesn't end the process. There would still be years of work to go in negotiating a long term trade deal.
The only option that brings things to a conclusion quickly is revoking Article 50 and remaining.

Years to decades of negotiating just to reinvent countless wheels that are already in place now, just to end up working worse than they do now.
I wonder if people appreciate how many decades of negotiation went into the EU package to begin with.
(I know just because I took EU Law in lawschool.)
