    I am wholly convinced that one of the following applies to citizen May :

    1. She is attempting to get a leave outcome but where history records
    it WAS NOT HER who cut the final thread.

    2. She has some combination of hubris and perceived intellectual
    superiority that deludes her into thinking her "deal" was the best that
    ANYONE in the UK could have devised and got accepted by the EU for
    the time frame she had.


    On #1, as some commentators are saying, history will note that ALL
    of the current parliament, whatever the party colours and side of the EU
    debate they are on, were morons and spineless. You are all going
    down as gormless gobsh*tes.

    On #2, I note the "Christian" aspect of citizen May.
    Notable that #2 was a defining trait too of citizen Blair (well when he
    was using his "Catholicism" other than to claim he was not sending
    his kids to a pure christian version of Eton/Harrow) .

    You have to worry about Tony Blair. He said that not joining the Euro would be a disaster for the UK economy, it wasn't. Best thing we ever didn't do. He said Saddam had WMD, way off the mark. Now he is saying the UK cannot survive without the EU. Anyone's guess, but solely based on Blair's advice I think we would stand a pretty good chance.

    You have to worry about the #2 mindset, whoever has it.

    On #1, with Easter weekend imminent, citizen May is welcome
    to leave the EU under a WTO regime and then call to the public to
    crucify me for it (no doubt 3 days after the event I will be feeling even
    greater) . :)

    I think that the Kurds might disagree with you about the WMD as thousands of them were killed by his chemical weapons

    My daughter's Primary school in Ashford in Kent have put wonderful No deal Brexit Plans in place. When the M20 is used for a car-park, traffic in Kent comes to a stop. They have arranged for extra staff in case parents are held up in traffic to pick up the kids, emergency rules so that if parents can't get the kids to school, it will be logged under a code which will not get parents in trouble for not ensuring that their kids attend school. Extra food supplies available.

    They appear to be far more organised than our government, so it can be done.

    That was historic surely, Blair was talking about current. No stockpiles were actually found as far as I can remember.

    Saddam had and used them in the 1980s, definitely.

    But in the days of the "dodgy" dossier (2003) , it appears that he had
    very little "WMD" capability of any kind (certainly nowhere near the
    scale falsely claimed) .

    At one point this morning the site actually crashed due to the high volume of traffic

    At least we hope that's what happened, and it wasn't the Tories trying to remove it...
