Post #426,568 by malraux 12/1/18 9:24:33 PM 12/1/18 9:24:33 PM Reply	What are the chances she wants it to fail so they can pull out of, er, pulling out? Regards, -scott Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson.
Post #426,570 by pwhysall 12/2/18 3:24:21 AM 12/2/18 3:24:21 AM Reply	That'd work for me! She was a remainer during the referendum, after all.
Post #426,578 by mmoffitt 12/3/18 9:43:27 AM 12/3/18 9:43:28 AM Reply	Then why she's so adamant about no second referendum? Unless she's leaving that for a successor, of course. bcnu, Mikem It's mourning in America again.
Post #426,582 by malraux 12/3/18 10:51:18 AM 12/3/18 10:51:18 AM Reply	That's what I'm getting at. How much of this is a play? "Oh, looks like it won't pass the vote. Since a crash exit would be worse, let's ask the public what they think now!" Regards, -scott Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson.

I hear what you're saying, but a second referendum is despised by the Brexiteers who make the somewhat not unreasonable point, "Why should we vote again? They didn't listen to us last time?" bcnu, Mikem It's mourning in America again.

Post #426,579 by mmoffitt 12/3/18 9:50:30 AM 12/3/18 9:50:30 AM Reply	I read that a little differently. She's decided to champion the one deal that doesn't throw the entire UK into economic disaster. I reckon that her political double-speak notwithstanding, she thinks satisfying (b) would be bad for your country (as I do) but still wants to tell the brexiteers they're winning; reasoning that if they believed Farage, Johnson and Rees-Mogg, they'll believe anything. She might not be far off if recent polling that the public is behind her is any measure. bcnu, Mikem It's mourning in America again.

Brexit short form. Or does democracy actually work to the benefit of anyone? - (mmoffitt) - (21) - Nov. 26, 2018, 04:23:21 PM EST

Democracy has certainly yielded some suboptimal results lately - (rcareaga) - (2) - Nov. 26, 2018, 01:45:26 PM EST

I don't have any recommendations for a solution. - (mmoffitt) - (1) - Nov. 26, 2018, 04:40:07 PM EST

The Sheeple of the UK got manipulated by Russian disinformation... - (a6l6e6x) - (6) - Nov. 26, 2018, 11:39:28 PM EST

I've no doubt Russian money played a role there, as here. - (mmoffitt) - Nov. 27, 2018, 08:35:33 AM EST

Indeed. - (Another Scott) - (1) - Nov. 27, 2018, 09:50:51 AM EST

Parliament had a chance to nip it in the bud, and passed. The cu-ts. -NT - (mmoffitt) - Nov. 27, 2018, 12:19:32 PM EST

..maybe deeper in the psyche than mere Russky contrivances - (Ashton) - (2) - Nov. 27, 2018, 09:01:01 PM EST

Thoreau rather than Thurber - (rcareaga) - (1) - Nov. 27, 2018, 09:07:28 PM EST

Agreed, in restaurants and in third-guessing - (Ashton) - Nov. 27, 2018, 10:06:47 PM EST

That's about the size of it - (pwhysall) - (10) - Nov. 30, 2018, 07:25:43 AM EST

"All" is a bit harsh, don't you think? - (mmoffitt) - (9) - Nov. 30, 2018, 08:09:07 AM EST

Nope - (pwhysall) - (8) - Dec. 1, 2018, 06:39:44 AM EST

Remember, people in 1900 didn't know what an atom was. They didn't know its structure.

They also didn't know what a radio was, or an airport, or a movie, or a television, or a computer, or a cell phone, or a jet, an antibiotic, a rocket, a satellite, an MRI, ICU, IUD, IBM, IRA, ERA, EEG, EPA, IRS, DOD, PCP, HTML, internet. interferon, instant replay, remote sensing, remote control, speed dialing, gene therapy, gene splicing, genes, spot welding, heat-seeking, bipolar, prozac, leotards, lap dancing, email, tape recorder, CDs, airbags, plastic explosive, plastic, robots, cars, liposuction, transduction, superconduction, dish antennas, step aerobics, smoothies, twelve-step, ultrasound, nylon, rayon, teflon, fiber optics, carpal tunnel, laser surgery, laparoscopy, corneal transplant, kidney transplant, AIDS... None of this would have meant anything to a person in the year 1900. They wouldn't know what you are talking about.
