the ONLY way to unfuck this is a second referendum cancelling the first.

I wonder it that's even logistically possible.

Even if we manage to reverse the decision the Brexitiers will have none of it. The biggest problem will be the legitimacy of the result. I cannot see that the turnout would be as big in 2016 - so if we won but on less of a vote than 2016 - it would not be accepted and could cause civil unrest - we would need a huge turnout and a huge swing to remain for it to be accepted and I just do not see that happening....

But simply winning is one thing, we've created such a mess with this disaster that the legitimacy of the democratic process is threatened unless it's a huge win with huge turnout. The bar is higher than it really should be.

for say 2 years? The greatest deal maker of all times could solve your problems easy peasy. All you need to do is give huge tax breaks to the rich and start imposing tariffs on imports. Maybe build a wall around the U.K that the E.U. will pay for? Feel any better now?

Until someone dug a tunnel under it.

Ok, maybe a wall, as long as Monaco pays for it.

They could burn Birmingham to the ground and it would still be less destructive than Brexit. I'm not even sure it would be worse than what we've had so far.

I don't remember the fear of that being a major, let alone legitimate, consideration during the miners' strike or Stop the City or any other times of national turmoil.

There's a whole lot of legitimate anger out here on the Remain side.

Do we have to threaten civil unrest before we're taken seriously?

An Act would have to be passed to authorize it, involving debates and amendments in the Commons and Lords, the terms of the question and detailed rules about its conduct, regulation of the campaigns, which organizations would be the official nominees for each question etc. would have to be negotiated and agreed. The Electoral Commission then recommends that there should be a gap of six months between the legislation being passed and the vote being held.

The only way there could be a second referendum is if there was an extension to the withdrawal deadline. If that happened, the UK would need to hold elections for the European Parliament on May 23, which would complicate matters even further.

And the ground is coming up quick.

To put it in clear context, the last referendum was held on June 23, 2016. So the government has actually been swithering for two years and seven months and counting to get us to the stage we're at now.

which can be done if all the EU countries agree.

That's something that politicians on all sides have repeatedly failed to consider throughout this whole fiasco. And it's a major part of why it has become a discrediting disaster for British politics.

Whether they'd agree for "we need a few more months to get a parliamentary majority together to accept the Draft Agreement" might be less certain. There could be a bit of brinksmanship on both sides with that - 'no deal' is fairly bad for the rest of the EU, and very bad for us, but some EU leaders may want to appear willing to risk no deal to convince May that she can't just use the extra time to get more concessions out of the EU.

I think if we got to the point of parliament passing amendments to take control of the process from May's government, that could be seen as a real sign that a deal can be reached and passed in parliament, and they'd grant that extra time if needed.

and Plancee the flying pig - from their regular spoof school newsletter:

"School Pet

I'm sorry to have to tell pupils the very sad news that Chequers the Dodo is officially dead.

I know we said he was alive, which he was in a sense, in our hearts, but now the medical facts of the matter, viz the lack of heartbeat, the absence of brain activity and the fact that he's been off his food for over 350 years, have convinced us that Chequers is no more.

We have therefore decided to get a new, more realistic and sensible school pet, so please welcome Planbee the Unicorn!

You'll see him trotting round the school, as large as life and he's very much a unicorn. Don't let anyone tell you that Mr Malthouse has stuck a traffic cone on the donkey's head and is trying to pass it off as a magical creature."

"New New School Pet

Has anybody seen Planbee the Unicorn? Since welcoming him as the school pet, he seems to have disappeared, if indeed he was ever there at all. But to make sure the pupils aren't too upset, we have a new school pet, called Plancee. Plancee is a pig, but a pig with a difference.

The eagle-eyed amongst you will have noticed he's got wings. Yes, Plancee is a flying pig. Up, up and away! Ther e he goes! Let's hope he doesn't fly straight into the propellers of Mr Williamson's drone! Or it';ll be pork chops and deep-fried pigs' wings for dinner!"
