Europe, Referendum & Brexit (formerly Europe..IN or OUT??)

EU has agreed to a need for a Brexit extension but will delay a decision on the length of the extension until nest week.

My gut instinct thinks they probably won't go no further than mid January. I do feel Boris could p planned things a lot better and got the election done a lot sooner, he could have got a decent majority to help push his plan through and I feel a December election with all it's shortcomings and logistics he may end up with a minority Govt. And even so the crucial votes will be those in Northern Ireland which I think will be key to victory. Wouldn't be surprised if a few pubs end up becoming polling stations - imagine casting your vote in the bar, and then having a pint after!!

Doubt if Boris will respond.

The UK has postponed the making of a commerative 50p Brexit coin as they were supposed to have the 31st of October inscribed on them, the second time they've been postponed as they were originally to have the 31st of March inscribed

Replace 31st October with 'some date or other........possibly'

Replace 31st of October with simply "TBD ?"

^ TBD - shorthand for Typical Boris Disaster

Yes I'm fully aware of how all the voting has gone down throughout the whole process, and of course you and southsidestu are correct.
But when I said stalling, I was referring to a more frequent occurrence.

But it has to be said, that comment did receive a rather interesting response.
And that's interesting because I didn't see any other response to this:

Since you're here, perhaps you'd like to comment on this paragraph also?

Yes, I stand by it

I saw an article in The Guardian that said that the 1,000 coins already minted could be worth up to £800 each. That is a 1600% mark up and the first financial success of Brexit. Shame they didn't mint a billion of them, could of got us out of the impending financial mess

So how long do you think thr extension will be this time? I have seen suggestions that French President Macron would only give us a fortnight. I would think if that is the case it may still not be enough time to get the deal done. Corbyn will only fight an election once No Deal was off the table and I think he was advocating an election for quite some time, but I think Boris is more than bloody likely to force the no confidence vote himself in his own Govt.

But i have sneaking suspicion Corbyn will end up in No.10 by default somehow.
