[quote:Anonymous Cowarcl:MV8zOTQyODI2XzcxMjIyMDg0XzMxNkI2Qzc1] Options to resolve Brexit... 1. Play hardball. Have the Home Office compile a list of all German, Dutch, French etc., plus all of Europe's refugees living in Britain and have them issued notice that they will be forcibly deported on 30th March 2019... unless Europe goes back to the negotiating table. 2. European law only prohibits trade deals, it does not prohibit unilateral trade grants... so grant the Irish unlimited, tarriff-free entry for all its goods across the Irish-Ulster Border. OK, so European goods will flood through this loophole and make those living in Northern Ireland super0rich very fast, but, maybe after all the troubles, they deserve it. 3. Put up unmanned "HONESTY" boxes for all the tarriffs - the Irish can be trusted of course (wink, wink) Hard luck, Europe not getting any tax money. 4. Offer Ireland a fat cheque if it votes to leave and does so too. [/quote]

Brexit: Theresa May is to call-off Tuesday's crucial vote on her Brexit deal in the face of what was expected to be a significant defeat by Tory rebels.
Government sources have said the prime minister is set to tell MPs about the delay in a statement at 15:30 GMT.
Downing Street had been insisting the vote would go ahead.(for several weeks)
The pound fell sharply in response, shedding 0.5% versus the US dollar to stand at $1.26. Against the euro, the pound was 0.8% down at 1.10 euros.
Mrs May's Commons statement will be followed by a statement from Commons leader Andrea Leadsom - and then a statement from the Brexit secretary Stephen Barclay on Article 50 - the legal mechanism taking the UK out of the EU on 29 March.
The deal has been agreed with the EU - but it needs to be backed by the UK Parliament if it is to become law ahead of the UK's departure.
Mrs May is thought to be trying to convince MPs to back her deal by suggesting the Northern Ireland backstop - the main item they object to - could be modified.
But European Commission spokeswoman Mina Andreeva said the EU would not renegotiate the Withdrawal Agreement.
