There is no way to get away from Brexit! It took them a long time, but the 27 heads of state of the European Union finally made an offer to Theresa May that she could not refuse. March 29th is no longer the deadline. There are now TWO departure dates!
It does not matter how much we are all sick of the English, of Mrs. "maybe-I-will-maybe-I-do not go" May, Boris "Bloody hell, no" Johnson and the rest of the bleak Jacob Rees-Mogg and other guffers and gasbags, they are not gone yet.
The title of the first page of the French daily perfectly summarizes the current situation. Release"Brexit will not take place on March 29," reads, "it will be April 12, unless it is of course May 22".
In other words, the remaining 27 States magnanimously and unanimously accepted the British Prime Minister's request yesterday. Theresa May was given until May 22, provided she could finally have her fellow parliamentarians vote in favor of measures that they have already rejected twice. If they vote against it, the United Kingdom will leave the European Union on April 12 without going through an agreement.
The name and shame blame the game
What the Europeans have managed to do is finally create a situation in which the United Kingdom can not blame Europe for leaving without any agreement.
As French President Emmanuel Macron said after the debate on the marathon last night, "the burden is now on Britain. Their political system must provide a clear answer. "
A skeptic might say that their political system is already two and a half years old to give a clear answer by March 29, and they could not handle that.
Give them two start dates and a shorter deadline could be the solution. But again, it might not be.
The old chestnut of London Time title which said: "Fog in the cbad; Continent cut ", is no longer a joke. "We are not ready to leave," seems to be the message from London, "let Europe wait".
Well, the wait is almost over. The fog is about to get up. We are on the brink of Brexit!
The British fall for the European tour
The title of the French conservative newspaper Le Figaro says that the British have been beaten at their own game! "London falls into the remarkable trap of Europe", that's how Le Figaro see the result of last night.
Spring in the trap is the European parliamentary elections. Since everyone thinks that the House of Commons will reject once again the proposals that it has already rejected twice, April 12 is the date on which the London government must vote in favor of the decree authorizing the United Kingdom to participate in the European ballot. .
As Emmanuel Macron said last night, "If you do not hold elections, you can not stay in Europe beyond the date of these elections".
Which is rather clever, because the various Brexit factions of all channels will never support an attempt to participate in elections for seats in a parliament they wish to leave.
If the UK does not participate in the elections, the elections will take place without hesitation, May 22, the day before the opening of polling stations in the European Union.
Bingo, the British are stuck in a corner.
We will probably miss them. Finally.
Another twist is still possible
But we kept the best until the end.
There is a parliamentary rule in London that says Westminster must consider holding a debate on any subject, provided that at least 100,000 registered voters ask for it.
Well, the online petition calling for the end of Brexit has collected more than a million signatures in a single day yesterday. In fact, the House of Commons website went bankrupt because it could not handle the traffic and had 1,500 signatures per minute. It has been corrected and accepts the entries again.
Actor Hugh Grant signed: "It would seem that all the sensible people of the country also sign."
Mental health may not be as widespread as Hugh hopes. Recall that on June 23, 2016, 17 million subjects of His Majesty voted in favor of David Cameron's proposal to leave the European Union. They beat those who were healthy in spirit, a million votes. Maybe the same million who just voted alongside Hugh Grant.
We will probably miss them all. Finally.
