Brexit: Theresa May's deal is voted down in historic Commons defeat

(Not that I expected this to pass, but ye gods, the incompetence of... everything.)

ETA: Nice summary:

Whatever the results, there are now three options - leave the E.U. with no deal (most of parliament doesn’t support this), remain in the E.U. as is (most of parliament doesn’t support this without a mandate from the country), renegotiate a deal (no one believes it’s possible) /8

We live in interesting times. Far too bloody interesting.

But I heard today that I passed my dissertation. :-)

Only one reply to that:

The good things don't always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don't necessarily spoil the good things or make them unimportant.

So well done you and congratulations! \o/
