How is it possible that after more than 2 years of the most utterly inept and ridiculous behaviour and conduct by our politicians we still seem to be finding ways to look even more like a bunch of idiots?

Brexit protests as well

I have gone through all five stages of grief with Brexit:

Denial "What the hell! Remain was predicted to win! This can't be right..."
Anger "How could people be so dumb?!"
Bargaining "Well, it was very close, I'm sure we'll stay within the single market. Not perfect but better than the alternative."
Depression "It's completely hopeless. I wouldn't trust this government to deliver a pizza, let alone a sensible Brexit negotiation. Everything is awful."
Acceptance "Well, looks like we're strawberry floated." *shrugs and eats popcorn*

A lot of people here seem stuck on the the earlier stages. I have stopped giving much of a strawberry float so I think I am relatively advanced.

I’m not sure that “I accept we’re strawberry floated and will do nothing about it” is any healthier a position than “I BELIEVE everything will be fine”.

Your position is the same as a guy on a crashing plane just accepting death rather than trying out the parachute he has on his back.

I think it's more akin to not screaming at a pilot who can't possibly hear you.

I’m pretty sure they heard 700,000 people marching in London recently.

They might ignore it, but they definitely hear it.

May mentioned 'No Brexit at all'. Even her software is having to start to listen.

You wait until MPs have to vote for the next action after the Deal falls. No Deal will have a battle if it wants to be the future of this country.

What a I meant was that there is no poiint in stressing about it personally, even if it could dramatically worsen the situation for me here in NI. I kind of realised a month or two ago that there was no point in me stressing about it when realistically the entire situation is beyond my control. It's in the hands of those who weild actual political power, for good or bad. If things go to the dogs there's little you or I can do about it beyond a bit of protesting here and there.

I went to that march. I thought Meep was referring to conduct on here.

That's why I'm worried.

I kinda eased off on looking at Brexit coverage over the last few months, but I'm back on that angry train now. I was a lot happier not paying attention to it, but I kinda feel like I should.

EU migrants will have to earn at least £30,000 before they are allowed to come to Britain after Brexit under a crackdown due to be announced next week, The Telegraph understands.

Under the plans, which have prompted a Cabinet row, skilled migrants will be required to have a job offer and hit the minimum salary threshold before they are allowed to come to the UK on five-year-long visas.

Low-skilled migrants will be able to come to the UK on one-year visas on a "temporary" basis as long as they have jobs. Once their visas expire they will be required to leave the country and unable to apply to return until a "cooling off" period of a year has passed.

This is one of May’s ideas apparently, but the rest of the government aren’t keen on it at all, so add this to the list of self inflicted battles within her party.

File under I for irrelevant, her deal is being voted down.

Too high.

Also, who in their right mind would want to come to the UK anymore?

I am seeing quite a few No Deal supporters saying “Ireland don’t want a border, we don’t want a border so let’s just not have a border!”

The same mugs that have spent YEARS moaning that our borders are not strong enough. The same idiots that want to only follow WTO rules.

It falls apart under scrutiny. Much like everything they want or say.

“What do we want?”
“STRONG BORDERS”
“When do we want it?”
“Errm when Irexit happens and Ireland rejoins the UK?”
