Brexit the economy and house prices part 6

As several will know from my past comments, I am scared of a no deal scenario, however this deal is awful.

How can the British people and politicians trust her when she has gone against her own word several times in this deal. Mrs May has failed to deliver the promised red lines and failed to deliver " a bad deal is worse than a no deal".

This should not and in my opinion cannot pass through parliament.

We can leave hotel EU any time we want. We just need to hand back the keys or continue paying for the room.

The trouble seems to be that the EU would like us to pay for the room but not use the bed. Or the shower. Or any facilities at all really.

In other words we pay for the room but can only try to peer into this room through a window where the blinds are drawn.

I'll admit I knew our politicians were going to be bad and that the Tories would tear themselves apart over it, but I had no idea quite how bad they were (on all sides). In their defense though I'd expect anyone doing the impossible to fail; I just thought some would have had enough spine to acknowledge that.

Such as? I'm not actually sure what they could have offered beyond the fixed menu options we got on day 1.

You may be right, May didn't ask for much for fear of being rejected.

She would have had more leeway to find meaningful compromises if she hadn't botched the General Election so badly, being dependant on DUP votes made solving the Irish border issue in a way that could get easily through Parliament, impossible to all intents and purposes.

What facilities are they stopping us from using?
There is no logic in what you’re saying.

Oh yeah, I'd forgotten she'd been watching 'how to make a slow car crash' YouTube videos.

That a remainer would ever admit to you mean?
Do you really not realise that the proposal equals the UK basically becoming a vassal state and this is why so many MP's are openly slating the plan? And if you dislike the analogy blame your bff Herzlos who continued the theme.

Leopard reveals its spots:

Top mischief from Donald Tusk. He tells reporters in Brussels: "The EU is prepared for a final deal with the United Kingdom in November. "We are also prepared for a no-deal scenario but of course we are best prepared for a no-Brexit scenario." NO-BREXIT SCENARIO

She was due to give a press conference anyway or do you have knowledge of something else in the offing?
