Point of order, can you please explain to foreigners the terms "rickets" and "poofs" in the context for which they are used in, since i don't understand what they refer to checking the oxford dictionary. I do understand that Brexit evokes a lot of "creative linguistics", but for some it might be also helpfull if you sticked to simply English.

If we foreigners are to be held to a standard of English being spoken here, i presume the same standard should be held for Brits?

Learn the beauty of political memes is my best and only advice.

How can it now be a trap, as the Benn law now forbids no deal?
No deal can now not happen, if we exited on 31 Oct, it would be voided by law, so it can't.
Corbyn's approval ratings being abysmal may have something to do with it, he's now in the ludicrous position of
calling for the PM to resign, yet at the same time refusing the mechanism to ensure it, so he has no confidence
in the PM but doesn't want to see him go.
This farce can't go on much longer.

It can still go through if he moves the GE date and we’re in the middle of it.

It’s all about that date and there’s a reason Johnson is so keen to do one right now and not after that date.

The minute that date is gone Labour will be all out for a GE and approval ratings are nonsense. A poll two weeks ago had Labour winning and this week losing. In 2017 they were set to be hammered and nearly won.

Let’s wait and see what happens.

No, it can't go through, GE or not, the date may pass, but we can't leave, the law would revoke it.
We know the reasons, Corbyn is cacking himself and is scared of losing, and hopes more humiliation piled on Johnson
will tip the balance at a later date, after 31 Oct passes.

This trap that Labour have set for Boris is more obvious than the trap set by Trappy the Trapper that he labelled in flashing neon lights Trap, Trap, Trap. If they think he’s falling for that they’re deluded.

This ex supreme court judge says today, to the BBC what we all know.
Apologies if previously posted.

https://order-order.com/2019/09/25/former-supreme-court-judge-says-52-cant-brexit/

So 52% don't get the 'Spoils.'
It must therefore follow, that if remain had won, then we should have left some of the EU, logically, about 48% of it,
using his yardstick.
I'm sure that those who voted to remain would have no problem with this.

The relatively restricted nature of our membership of the EU and the number of opt-outs we negotiated manifestly demonstrate this has been the case for the last 30 years.
 
He has used the queen,lied to her and embarrased her,now he wants her to do the queens speech before brexit so he can shut down parliament again,i hope there is some ancient law she can enact that allows her to say sorry boris,one is washing her hair every day that week but i can fit you in on nov 1st
That would make some heads explode,hope carol malone goes first

The law forces Johnson to go and ask for an extension, not revoke, do you not think he’ll do everything he can to delay that?

Corbyn isn’t cacking himself lol. I love how the right are so adamant he’s going to lose.

We’ll wait and see.

Some might perhaps find it infuriating to be doused by such a volume of slang that one logicly might not understand.

'Rickets' is an illness, typically suffered by children as a result of malnutrition. 'Poof' is a derogatory and offensive term for a homosexual. Whether Blueinsa posted the image in order to parody a view some have of leave voters as stupid bigots, or simply because leave voters are stupid bigots, I will leave to him to explain.

I actually looked up both terms. Was completly unsure if i had the right rickets given the context used, i mean did it really "used to put hair on a man's chest"? And poofs indeed seems to be either a derogatory term or english for "something that vanishes in a sudden way" but the the plural or something. Or you know the "completion" of "to poof" like "he poofs away" not sure how that called is called in English.

'Poof' in that sense is usually the noise something makes when it vanishes, rather than the act of vanishing itself. In this sense it was a derogatory term. Things that put hairs on your chest are things that improve your manliness or masculinity. The suggestion that rickets would put hairs on your chest is obvious nonsense. It is a form of absurdity that appeals to the sense of humour that many British people have.
