It appears that Brexit will be delayed until 2020, as France’s Emmanuel Macron has swung behind a three-month extension to the departure deadline. The French president had reportedly been pushing for a much shorter extension, pushing back the October 31st deadline just a few weeks to mid-November to give British prime minister Boris Johnson enough time to get his revised version of Theresa May’s withdrawal treaty with the European Union through the Houses of Parliament.

Brexit is dead. The only way it happens is to give the damn remainers their second referendum and have Brexit pass by an even bigger margin despite the cheating we know will occur.

Germany is at war with England but instead of bombs they are using redtape and paperwork to stop the English.

Brexit has to have an election to win back control of Parliament then Brexit must be delivered.

This whole thing is like a soccer match, and the Brexiteers lead 1-0. But the opposing team controls the ‘stoppage clock’ and keeps adding time; but score is still one-nill, Brexiteers.

Same old, same old, anything rather than BRexit.
Bring on the election and hopefully Nigel Farage will be the next prime minister.

That still won't do it unless Parliament also changes. Otherwise it will be the same merry-go, er, roundabout as it is now.

Britain as a separate country is FINISHED. As Robert A. Heinlein put it in A Harsh Mistress, “sovereignty” is just a word in the dictionary between “sober” and “sozzled”.

Why not until just the end of the year?

It would make financial matters easier to settle.

Given British incompetence, maybe Macron should do the Denken and Barnier the Arbeit.
