But there’s a time limit on this extension. If they can unilaterally extend this extension couldn’t they just keep doing that?

"or I'll set the corgis on ye"Ok. If assured that it was legal, there was exactly nil chance of her not acceding.
I imagine the conversation was "are you sure? Is this legal? Johnson not here in person? Okay, now get out of my house"
Citing reality is a strange concept?
At least we are at the ‘pretty doubtful’ stage which is encouraging. As for the economic benefits, which I will happily assume to be correct, it was this line of reasoning that led to ‘we will get a good deal because German car makers flog us a lot of cars’.
The problem with removing legal protections and rights is that relying on ‘good economic sense’ to do the right thing is a poor substitute. Just as the Germans flogging us a lot of cars does not trump the legal rules and regulations that govern the Single Market a future Spanish Govt may not feel the economic benefits of British or non EU immigrants trumps the political gains of introducing a more ‘hostile’ environment. After all the Tories have been doing that here for years despite the evidence of the economic benefits of immigration.
I hope we are now begining to see some of the problems inherent in leaving a legal and trading structure without giving any thought as to the consequences to people, families, businesses and indeed our very Union.
Let's just say I think that the prospect is hypothetical bollocks

It's just better not to ask, he needs a period of quiet contemplation to reflect on the learning process as a changing process.But there’s a time limit on this extension. If they can unilaterally extend this extension couldn’t they just keep doing that?

Hunting practice would probably be better than dead corgis!

Presumably so, but it still has to be agreed to by the UK.
It's not an agreed extension; it's an offer to extend. 31/10 is agreed by the UK.

You think, in that it is your opinion. We can agree though that without the protection of EU law it is now a possibility and that this possibility did not exist when U.K. citizens were protected under EU law. Yes?

Yeah minutes of the first meeting.
Eu :so Scotland if you want to join the eu , it will cost you 20 billion a year
SNP :oh hang on we were expecting money from you
Eu, : no sorry it doesn’t work like that
Snp. : But in the uk we have this formula which means we get massively subsidised by the rest of the uk
Eu : well I am afraid we won’t be doing that
Snp : quick get Boris on the phone and send a bunch of flowers around to balmoral,
The Queen wouldn't be at Balmoral. Why would the Scots want the Monarch of another country to be in their country? Unless she was seeking asylum of course then she would be within her rights to be in the Country just not at Balmoral. She could be at the holding centre with all the other asylum seekers though.

Why would Bojo want to agree another extension if the EU won't renegotiate? The clock started ticking on the 21 month implementation/transition period last March and extensions don't change our entry into the backstop on 1/1/21 as per the current deal.Presumably so, but it still has to be agreed to by the UK.

They'll soon change their minds when they see it working for us... It has to right?OK will I do have some evidence.
The polls in France are now showing a 60% backing of remaining in the EU, with >30% now siding with leaving and the rest unsure.
Before our referendum it was 51% who had a positive feeling towards the EU, 46% negative in Holland. Since our referendum again the figures have gone closer to remain.

You got shares in LBC? Otherwise what new insight into Brexit has Orifice O'Brien vouchsafed to us?

He allows the stupid, the ignorant and the brainwashed free time on air to spread their Brexit message and show what a good deal they think they are getting. I find it entertaining - don't have to watch them if you don't like them.

Pointless arguing.You think, in that it is your opinion. We can agree though that without the protection of EU law it is now a possibility and that this possibility did not exist when U.K. citizens were protected under EU law. Yes?
He's not interested in facts just opinions - his own largely unsubstantiated ones mostly, that he's utterly convinced are correct without a shred of evidence.

I don't know. There must be a reason why someone thinks offering it makes sense - at a guess, it's to pre-empt what appears to be a likely GE this autumn, and cover until the end of it. It seems to make sense to make the offer before any no-confidence motions, as it's a lot tidier.

It's not funny at all really, whatever actually happens in the end.
This is what Western Democracy is turning into. This will become the norm if those in power see it work. Something really wrong with society in general and I do wonder about where Britain will be in 5 years , as a society.
The accents are different but I couldn't help but hear dueling banjos play in the background to that first clip.
They'll soon change their minds when they see it working for us... It has to right?
Hang on, let’s go back. You said it was the feeling now.
Not only are you now guessing, you’re guessing from a starting point of us making a success of leaving, which there is no evidence that will actually be the case, quite the opposite.
I’m not so sure that others will be keen to leave when they witness us leaving without a deal and crippling our own economy.

He does love a good public humiliation I'll give you that - particularly of the inarticulate and confused, even better if they are old ladies. Not so happy when the tables are turned though.He allows the stupid, the ignorant and the brainwashed free time on air to spread their Brexit message and show what a good deal they think they are getting. I find it entertaining - don't have to watch them if you don't like them.

I await them saying no need for a hard border either.
