London insists UK leaving EU on October 31, despite delay request |
2019-10-21 |
[DAWN] A defiant British government doubled down on Sunday, insisting it would leave the Europe![]() an Union in 11 days' time despite parliament forcing a reluctant prime minister to request another delay. In a day of high drama on Saturday, MPs in the House of Commons passed up the chance to decide on the revised withdrawal agreement that Prime Minister Boris Johnson ...pro-Brexit British prime minister, succeeding no-Brexit Theresa May. BoJo is noted as much for his sparkling personality and his hair as for his Conservative policies.... had negotiated with the European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... That defeat leaves Johnson under mounting pressure to find a way out of paralysing impasse on when and how Britannia would leave the EU bloc after Britons narrowly voted to exit in a 2016 referendum. Late Saturday, Johnson reluctantly sent European Council President Donald Tusk a letter legally imposed on him by parliament requesting an extension ‐ but refused to sign it.

#3 Treasonous establishment MP's working for the people who chose them, not the people they claimed to represent. Led by the arch-traitor the Squeaker of the house. |

#2 The EU agreed to the May Deal. The EU agreed to the Boris Deal. So what's keeping you from leaving already? |
