In Final vote, they decided no deal Brexit but not to extent past March 29... Now it's to Article 50 Extension, which might fail considering Amendment F destruction... It's very very likely Brexit does not happen, cause they will never agree to any deal now

So London loses a mere 5k jobs....Germany loses 30,000.

A brilliant summary of the Brexit situation I unfortunately can't take credit for writing:

UK to EU: "So, we have voted to leave"
EU to UK: "That’s a shame, OK what’s your proposals?"
UK to EU: "We don’t have any, we are leaving."
EU to UK: "Yes, but what about the Good Friday Agreement and the Northern Irish border?"
UK to EU: "Eh?"
EU to UK: "It’s an international treaty you signed, remember? Look, tell you what why doesn’t NI stay in the Customs Union, job done."
UK to EU: "NEVER! You are not splitting the UK up."
EU to UK: "OK what do you propose?"
UK to EU: "Why are you being intransigent?"
EU to UK: "What? OK look, we need to sort this and you haven’t proposed anything, what about the whole of the UK staying in the Customs Union?"
UK to EU: "NEVER!
EU to UK: "FFS what then? This is your mess, tell us what you actually want."
UK to EU: "Why are you being intransigent?"
EU to UK: "Will you please just tell us what you want."
UK to EU: "OK if you’re going to be like that, we want a backstop added to the Withdrawal Agreement.
EU to UK: "Finally, yes OK, thats fine, but remember this is your idea, shall we sign the Withdrawal Agreement off? Once we have done this we cannot reopen it in the time left."
UK to EU: "Yes, sign it off."
EU to UK: "Done."
UK to EU: "Ummm we couldn’t get it through Parliament so we need to reopen the withdrawal agreement and change the backstop."
EU to UK: "We said we wouldn’t do that, but OK we might be able to do something, we are listening, what do you want to change it to?"
UK to EU: "Alternative arrangements."
EU to UK: "What?"
UK to EU: "Alternative arrangements."
EU to UK: "What the actual f*ck is that?"
UK to EU: "Don’t know, just something different."
EU to UK: "Look, the backstop was your idea, we reluctantly agreed, now you don’t want it anymore and instead want it changed to something that doesn’t exist."
UK to EU: "Why are you being so intransigent?"
EU to UK: "It literally does not exist, what don’t you understand about that?"
UK to EU: "Stop bullying us. OK, how about having a backstop that isn’t a backstop?"
Theresa May to UK general public: "The EU are being intransigent. This is not our fault, its all theirs."

Agreed, our leaders are utter morons. We should have just went for No Deal at the start. None of this Deal nonsense. I voted to leave the EU not for leaving with a deal.

It's over Visaria... Brexit isn't happening after today, Brexit got dodged by 4 votes. May Party will only agree to EU deal and rest of parliament won't, May party will never agree to anything other then EU deal, and now no deal is off the table... It will get cancelled after it gets Article 50 Extension, no matter what it will always be dead locked unless EU deal gets through and it will never get through, they will keep the circus going for few weeks until EU cancels Brexit, or UK Parliament cancels it

Corbyn is hoping for re-election and his party in charge, but he is clearly anti EU, not even about democracy so I do not see EU accepting extension for that guy to have another election of parliament... EU has all the power over Brexit now, so if they want to boot out UK politicians from the EU Parliament they will do so, if they want to keep them in parliament, they will keep UK in

At this point, it's all a guessing game on what Germany and Belgium decide for Brexit

Futur will show who were the morons.
BTW these morons were chosen by the British people. These are the same people who voted -+ 50/50 for/against Brexit.

But we were lied to...these 'leaders' said they would take us out of the EU. They promised to deliver the result of the 2016 referendum.

And Trump promised to build a wall that Mexico was going to pay for. You act surprised that what was obvious to everyone was going to happen, happened!

The list of the lies created by the leave camp is endless.
"The 350million pound a week" lie became the trademark of them.
