[quote:MySoul:MV8zOTQyODI2XzcxMjU1OTI3XzcyQUIwQTYz] [quote:clock:MV8zOTQyODI2XzcxMjU0MzkzXzIzMTlGNTAy] There's a bigger scenario playing out here, the EU have accepted the electronic border in Ireland for the last 20yrs, yet refuse to accept the same border when we pull out, insisting on a hard border, hence the backstop. This as people know will tie us in the EU for God knows how long, or until the EU relinquishes it's grip, and Theresa May wants us to trust them on this matter that's why she's over there, I for one don't trust them, and this is what is leading me to thinking there is something bigger, and I can't get my head around it. [/quote] I think that the bottom line is that thy are trying to make an example of us, so that no other country dares to consider leaving the EU. [/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.
