So what now? (Tea. The answer is tea. The whole country is drinking a LOT of tea.)

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

So what now?

The King John Appreciation Society will celebrate no longer being #1 in the Worst British Government charts?



I'm so sorry. Not that we're doing too well ourselves at the moment, but... Jesus Christ, this is a mess.

I think that's everyone's question. Also just had to +1 for Evil Abed gif :)

It's honestly terrifying how shit everyone is at this, even the people I don't want to do well.

[promethia_tenk]

Well. At least your subject line is funny.

So everyone is just drinking tea? LOL!. Well, apparently the US govt and the UK govt are neck n'neck for biggest cluster*%^. We're over five weeks into a government shutdown...the Air Traffic Controllers are eyeing the exit ramps as are the TSA agents (both of which have not been paid in weeks). Although you have a movie about it, we haven't gotten there yet.

So..Look on the bright side, you aren't alone?

We're drinking a lot of tea too. At least I am. Can't bloody do coffee.

A huge and much deserved defeat for a party that has put its own survival ahead of the country’s best interests.

I kind of hope Gerry Adams is hanging up his chef's apron, going out to his Man Cave, and making a few molotov cocktails...

But I'm a hateful cynic who grew up in the Troubles and actually remembers shit like Omagh, which has conveniently slipped the memories of ALL THE TORIES.

*shrugs*

I'm sure there will either be a dissolved United Kingdom or a United Ireland at some point.

Yup. About a litre this evening.

We live in interesting times. Far too bloody interesting.

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

Yup, I couldn't agree more.

If I was in charge of delivering Brexit, I would cancel it and promise the country that the process would restart when there is some kind of sensible consensus of what we actually want from the process. Like what she should have done in the first place.

Obviously that would probably never happen...
