Look at this quote in the Hindustani times "This is the real world, not DisneyWorld, The monster doesn?t become a loveable rogue in the end. He stays a monster.? Ireland and India appear most miserable about this. http://www.hindustantimes.com/columns/with-trump-no-hope-for-change/story-2JOcHg6DQ9zU5Qdqay9VJI.html http://www.irishtimes.com/opinion/fintan-o-toole-the-united-hates-of-america-has-raised-its-middle-finger-to-the-world-1.2861122

If North Korea won, instead of sacking George Osborn, Theresa "Kim" May would have had him executed . . . by tigers on TV introduced by Ant & Dec

Watch the supreme court in the US become more conservative (Trump nominates now), Maybe, just maybe he'll get in a decent team (Farage has applied so maybe not)

But supreme court will now be anti abortion, anti gay marriage and pro more death penalties. Hide the nuclear triggers - just hide them :)

Well that India trip was a disaster it seems.

Oh yes - a spaced out Toblerone. Just what the UK needs at this point.

Horrible comparison that makes you wonder where we are headed.

Some of the British people aren't - just keep people running from these things out (except the rich, they can come).

If Article 50 is irreversible a second referendum would be (A) accept the terms agreed (B) Exit with no terms We're effectively out as soon as we invoke it ?? Yet if it's reversible the appeal should be allowed. but parliament might get a choice of (A) Accept the terms agreed (B) Exit with no terms © Return to the EU (and maybe invoke A50 again - been suggested)

With the other lines - has to be Ronald Reagan originally

Well done Ireland. Welsh match was miserable.

I still think it's common sense that A50 is reversible. Why is it not - nothing has changed after invoking it. The article below states TM should be clear before invoking it that she knows if it's reversible - and it benefits her negotiations if it is. We could withdraw, wait a bit then invoke it again for instance. http://uk.businessinsider.com/brexit-article-50-may-not-be-reversible-2016-10 and the blog (repeating what has been said here)but concluding it'll have to go to Europe to decide. https://waitingfortax.com/2016/10/16/brexit-the-important-role-of-the-court-of-justice/ Worth noting if (when our millennial generation) grow up - they decide to go back into the EU it would be without any budget rebate and within the common currency in all probability.

But Labour voting confidence is just stupid even if they know they'll be hammered. It would make them look like they have no confidence in their own party. Corbyn would be known as the leader too scared to face the country. No wonder he doesn't want to talk about it - damned if he does, damned if he doesn't.

We?re being harassed here.? Ian Martin (the thick of it) called him Victor Meldrew I think it's no - they won't talk about it

It was stated as revocable by Donald Tusk and Lord Kerr (who wrote it) Means if the economy trashes we can just give up on Brexit after 2 years. It's May who said it wasn't

Still all depends on the economy IMHO. If it begins to really hurt things will change

oh the worm :)

So we end up with no idea of where we want to go or how to get there. Camerons fault.
