So sad.
So sorry Brexit ever happened.

In related news, the Vote Leave (Brexit) group just paid a 61,000 pound fine for finance violationsā¦
I really love how Western Democracies are supposed to abide by tainted election/referendum results and act like theyāre legitimateā¦

I hope Speaker of the Commons Mr. Bercow suggests that Prime Minister May take that idea and shove it where the sun never shines. Sideways.

Itās hard to overestimate the power of rich white people (in any country), so my money is on the idea that Brexit will continually be postponed until an agreement is reached that benefits monied interests and the powerful people who want the Brexit they thought theyād get before the pesky voters stepped in and, you know, voted to leave. May grossly misjudged her power to just tell the EU how the cow ate the cabbage. Looks like āno dealā is the deal and the Britons will pay dearly for political hubris and arrogance.

Yep. The dilemma in the UK must provide immense amusement for Putin on a daily basis. It was so easy for him to stick his finger in and stir the pot.

And like our last election, one that is, if not Russian-free, at least Russian-averse.

Itās wrong. Ignoramus is the 1st person plural of ignoro. It quite literally means āwe do not know,ā so it takes no pluralization.

I donāt know how the fuck new elections can fix anything as long as there isnāt a major party thatās solidly Remain to give people a fresh post-shitshow choice between Leave and Remain to vote on. Itās this thing where both major parties are run by Leavers and in a state of internal schism on the issue, which, in turn, is a direct result of stupidly allowing a referendum that became a separate source of political legitimacy, thatās the problem.

Real Britons are all in favor of Leave, the same way that Real Americans are all old white people who happen to vote republican.

I know what the British lawmakers should do!
Vote a fourth time!
And when that fails, vote a fifth time!
And so on, until Theresa May dies of old age, or they get rid of her.
Come on, letās have another vote Friday of next week.
Then we can have another one the week after that. Fabulous.

Thousands of Brexit supporters, who had planned to be celebrating Friday, were protesting instead.
Awww, itās always a shame when a bunch of racists donāt get their way.

Correct. I took four years of Latin, and already knew this. Of course, when a Latin verb becomes anglicized as a noun, all bets are off.

The problem, as I see it is that during the first referendum, nobody actually articulated what āBrexitā actually meant (tariffs, closed borders, Financial industry companies moving out to Frankfurt, etc). So if youāre to have a second referendum, you really should have the terms and ask folks āhereās what it means, do you agree, Yes or No?ā
Of course, this has been such a shitshow that they could never get to such a point of actually having real terms and conditions, and given the crew involved never will, so the best you could ask would probably be something like āSo, now that you have a mild taste of the shitshow, do you want the whole pie, or should we just say āNevermindā, Yes or No?ā
Or some smaller regional party could come out strongly for āKnock it Off!ā and win control of the government, relegating both the Labour and the Cons to backbench status. (hey, a guy can dream, canāt he?)

And that is precisely why May wonāt allow another vote on it.
The Brexiteers would get Crushed.
Iād like to say, btw, that the headline on this article is deeply misleading. Itās not a new brexit crisis. Itās the same stupid brexit crisis theyāve been facing for the past two years.
