Will they then go back into the EU and once again be subject to the Muslim invasion?

Probably not.

Brexit is dead.

The first half sentence of the article should be a clue.

So now they are NOT leaving the EU? if the people voted to leave, then parliament just says no..... I’d say a civil war may be on the horizon.

This was her preferred outcome don’t kid yourself. There’s that photograph of her with Merkel and that other woman they all went to school together they’re all part of the globalist cabal Illuminati yada yada yada Bilderberg yada yada yada yes this was intended. No borders no borders that’s probably their motto.

My greatest fear is that May’s incompetence leads to irresistible pressure for a new election that puts Jeremy Corbyn in power. This would be a world-historical catastrophe.

No, Brexit will now happen automatically and whatever adjustments need to be made will be made over time after Brexit.

Seems like its a cross road for the UK. They can 'hard' Brexit, or they can snivel out and ask for another vote. I think todays vote signals a hard exit. But what do I know?

An interesting bit of revisionist history about Neville Chamberlain. No idea if true, or not
