Good luck with your retirement Solasch and I trust you will still be writing on here
NB You can still watch this comedy show on internet and TV.
My money would be on yet another extension..
Boris knows full well that no deal and the inevitable EU trade tariffs is actually not a credible option for the UK. I can only think he will use the forthcoming chaos in the house of commons to call a general election before November 1st and try to increase his majority. If he gets a working majority he will be safe for 5 more years and that is all that matters to Johnson. He will then bungle through some utterly stupid populist policies that actually don't change anything but appeal to right wing Tories and Brexiteers, brown nose to Trump about some vague ill defined trade deal that won't actually materialise, appear on TV quite a lot, the poor will get poorer, the rich will get richer, the environment will get more polluted etc etc but he will not risk a trade war with the EU and he will renege on his Nov 1st promise on or before Nov 1st!!
But so what; he really has great charisma right?
Like Donald Trump in USA he is nothing less that what we deserve in the UK.
Anyone for a bet?

I won't make the same mistake with boris as I did with trump. Seeing him on tv and following the debates on his lunatic behavior during the elections, I predicted that it would take his advisors and the civil servants half a year at most to put him in his place.
How wrong I was. Being the most powerful man in the world makes that you get away with the most obnoxious behavior and lies.
Boris during his "election"has all the traits trump had. I am afraid now he is in power the british will let him get away with comparable behaviour (but on the british scale of things). If his past is anything to go by? Leaving his wife during the period she had treatment for cervical cancer, taking his girlfriend on a laptop, etc. Forgetting the number of his children so many are walking around.
As for another extension, I wouldn't bet on that. The present extension was for ratifying the withdrawal deal. The UK spoiled that time. Another extension is only available for a GE or referendum. Both are not in the cards.. so revoke it will be

Scotland did..........
It was called a referendum.
It is an extremely good form of Democracy .
It is unambiguous.
Scotland voted to Remain in the longest lasting , most successful Union of willing nations in history.
When is Holland's 'NethExit' planned for.
Time you lot practiced what you preach, for a change!
