E.U: Leave or Stay? Your thoughts.

On the (miniscule) upside, if we continue to another round of MEP elections there's a chance people might actually pay attention to the candidates and elections rather than treating it as "none of that Euro stuff affects us" as usual. And with it being short notice there's been no time for the usual suspects talking-point spam to go out, so candidates will be on a mostly level playing field.

Then again, anything that hinges on the general public actually looking things up is evidently doomed to failure.

 

I see JRM is retweeting AfD clips now.

Even his supporters must concede at the very least his timing is questionable.

 

Sorry for invoking Godwin, but he already has the hair - he just needs the 'tache.

 

Rees-Mogg: I don't support the Nazis but they have a point.

or unfavourable lighting...

 

Meanwhile a poll in the pro-Brexit Sunday Times has found 73% of its readership now wants to revoke Article 50.

 

Kudos to the lighting department in BBC studios.

Apparently there is also suggestion of a "jaw-dropping" story about to be broken regarding the Election Commission and Vote Leave...

 

Unless it's video of Aaron Banks teabagging the Queen, I don't think anyone will be that shocked/surprised by whatever it happens to be.

 

Remember when some MEPs from Sweden recently mentioned they voted the wrong way?

At least one Conservative said hold my beer:

 

You know what, that could be a way out for them...

"Due to irregularites and illegal activity we will have to ask for an extension to have a fair referendum...We really don't want to
..Hands tied, something, something" or somert like that.

Edit: I see some Tories are ranting about anything other than a hard brexit as a "betrayl". What do they not get about having been brought back as a minority government? Surely it should have clicked that this wasn't wanted?

 

Tories learn nothing from current events. That much should be clear.

 

Yep, Leave broke the rules, but asking for a second referendum is undemocratic.

 

During the meanwhile, a Brexit protester admits to causing disruption to Eurostar which led to tens of thousands in fines and delays for up to 8,000 people: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news...exit-disrupter-admits-public-nuisance-offence

Is this the carnage on the streets that was predicted...?

This is my new favourite twatter feed

 

I'm not sure even such a video would shock me anymore.

 

I think it would have to be a reversal of those two for it to raise an eyebrow.
