Well you live in the China of Europe, so it's unsurprising.

I feel like Benedict Cumberbatch has fallen into a hole of being typecast as quirky, slightly autistic dudes. He's really good at it, so I can see why.

Waiting for the day he's cast as a quirky, slightly autistic woman, tbh.

From what I can gather, the Jewish Community of Scotland is behind the conviction.

Probably reasoning that dark jokes lead to extremism, violence, xenophobia and eventually geonocide.

It's usually a talking point from the media that you see over and over again.

Seems like the EU is gonna get rid of daylight savings.

They just voted on it, but it's not quite done yet. But the votes favors a removal.

Does that mean they are going to put the clock forward in spring as usual and then leave it like that, or keep it backwards like it is now? If it's the latter I will never forgive them.

I think it's the former since the suggestion is to have it go into effect after changing it one last time in March 2021.

The article I'm reading also states that those countries that want Winter Time instead can change it later during the year.

We will probably hear more about it next year.

So we were supposed to leave the EU on the 29th March. It was signed into law. And yet here we are, still in with no signs of leaving anytime soon! Gina Miller, where are you? I thought you cared about Parliamentary law. Fucking lol.

MP's recently passed a bill through Parliament to delay Brexit, and it passed with a single vote majority. The irony of a 1 vote majority being conclusive, but a 2 million majority in a referendum being up for debate.

The good thing is it's not binding, and only compels the PM to seek a delay. And also, there are no guarantees that Europe will agree to a delay. Emperor Macron seems to be against the idea.

I think the EU believe that by playing hardball and refusing a delay they will force our Parliaments hand and push us closer to a second referendum, or to even cancelling Brexit completely. This is because Parliament signed a bill into law saying we can't leave without a deal. So if Europe steer us in a direction in which No Deal is the only likely outcome, they reason that MP's will do all they can to prevent it, even if that means granting a second referendum. So the theory goes anyway.

And now Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn are teaming up to try and negotiate a deal with Europe. What a dream team! Labour and Conservatives are both absolute trash.

Tony Benn was right about the EU, the longer we stayed in, the harder it would become to leave. At the moment, I'd say it's a toss up between us getting a watered down to the point of staying in Brexit, or no deal '"crashing out". And I'm hoping we crash out.

Oh also, article 13 passed. A law nobody wanted proposed by people nobody can vote for. Isn't the European Union fantastic?

I have seen some clips of what's been going on with Brexit this last week, and it seems to be a shitshow.

I watched a clip when someone in parlament got fed up with all the BS and resigned out of frustration or something.

Crashing out is said to be bad for all of Europe so I think a deal is the only way, or you somehow stay in.
