LONDON — Theresa May has been told to enlist Donald Trump in a bid to save her troubled Brexit talks.
Conservative MPs, who oppose May's EU exit deal, want the prime minister to approach the president and request that he lobby the Irish government in an attempt to force them to
give ground in negotiations. May's deal was defeated in the UK House of Commons last month after MPs voted by a 230-vote majority against the plans.
Following the defeat, May vowed to seek changes from the EU to the controversial "backstop" element of the deal, which is designed to prevent a hard border with Ireland after Brexit.
She also appointed a group of senior Conservative backbenchers to examine proposals to replace the backstop.
However senior EU figures have resisted calls to re-open negotiations, in part because of opposition by the Irish government to altering the backstop. As a result, Brexit-supporting
MPs in May's Conservative party have now demanded that she ask Trump to intervene in a bid to break the impasse, Sky News reported.
The demand comes amid concerns that the new US Congress would side with Dublin against any changes that would put at risk the Good Friday Agreement which was negotiated
between the UK and Ireland, with the help of the US.
No. No. No. No. No.
as if they’re going to listen to that fat fuck
I, what? Is this seriously how delusional brexiteers are now?
Two weeks from now: "Mr. Blobby enlisted to push May's Brexit plan to Parliament"
Yeah this isn't gonna work.
Us Americans can barely get the fat man to listen to his own intelligence briefings—how the fuck you think this’ll work, May?
Everyone knew if things got tough, she would call in Mr. Brexit himself.
Desperation
The Tory backbench - specifically an ethnic Polish MP - also recently asked the Polish Government to veto any attempt at basically anything other than No Deal.
I don't understand how sabotaging Government policy when your party controls the Government is not gross misconduct. Any other employer in this country would sack you in an instant if you appealed to the board of another company to tank your own policy. Jesus, one thing Brexit has reinforced for me is that regardless of their party I fucking hate politicians and their complete privilege to do what they like with no accountability.
This is the really, really, really, really stupid version of that 'you must be desperate if you're coming to me for help' movie cliche.
Now? They've always been daft cunts. They're just getting desperate enough to not hide it anymore.
May's deal is shit. But it's better than the bbrexiteer pipe dream of somehow coming out of the EU entirely, and then dictating that we get total free trade over the WTO rules.
Better yet just cancel the whole fucking thing because this is going to ruin our working class.
Do the Brexiteers really have so little respect for Ireland?
Yes, they don't give a fuck about anything but mainland England and by that I mean, England only, fuck Scotland, Wales, Ireland and all of our overseas.
this is almost as bad as that politician who came up with the idea of starving Ireland
I'm going to laugh my arse off if she does it and he inevitably fucks it up, but in a way that actually causes the cancellation of Brexit entirely.
The Tories have never respected us as an independent nation. They think we're just another upstart colony that thinks we're all high and mighty now and that we should know our place.
Tweedle Dumb asking for help from Tweedle Dumber now, is that it?
uh isn't that kind of obvious from their long history of fucking ireland over, 20 years is a short time in the grand scheme of things, especially given how Brexit has been orchestrated by the grey hair population of britain.
can scotland and NI just leave the UK to form united irlenad and scotland and stay with the eu please this is a fucking joke
Yes. It's well known that much of the English population still see themselves as the centre of the empire and want it to magically come back. One of England's Lords recently suggested that Britain should reconquer Ireland to get around the Backstop, one of their MPs suggested threatening food exports to Ireland to get us to drop the Backstop.
Aside from that most English people know fuck all about the history of Ireland and they don't seem to remember the Troubles except for "The Irish bombed some pubs", they treat Scotland and Wales like little kid versions of countries, and the only time they think about Northern Ireland is when it's to complain that they don't own the whole island any more.
That doesn't apply to all the English, of course, but a disturbingly large number of them wish they were still in the days of the Empire.
tbh If I was a UK citizen I would probably chuck a vote to Mr Blobby.
Please fuck off forever
I had to stop and stare at the headline for a few minutes, and then check if it was an Onion article or something just as silly.
It was already disgusting to see them try so hard to fuck Ireland over this mess, but to drop all the pretense and go straight for "please to ask Trump to pressure them to do what WE want" isn't just mind-blowingly disrespectful, it's outright evil. They're in for a rough awakening when they find the world doesn't revolve around britain.
Worse yet, their idea of diplomacy is repeating their retarded demands several times, like they'll be accepted by the fifth. The word "delusion" is starting to be too appropriate and that's just sad considering the year we live in. It's good that the EU is taking a firm stance to protect the Irish from this horrible tantrum.
I can't imagine what some of our resident brits are going through, this shit's been going on for way too long. How are you all handling it?
England: Moooooooom, Is it okay if I take the car tonight?
Europe: No you can't take the car. You can take the bike.
England: ....
England: Daaaaaaad!
Are people still bitter about the cod wars? The Icelandic Coast Guard won three times in a row, and that was almost 50 years ago, plus it had nothing to do with the European Union, and Germany and Belgium both supported the UK there.
ya but pretty much all of europe's fishing waters are regulated under the EU, and yet with Brexit they promised that the fishermen can just jump in their trawlers and go fish anywhere they want because fuck the EU(!) its absolutely a return to the cod wars, except britain has much less of a navy and many many more adversaries against them if they went that direction.
Chimpanzee enlists help from Orangutan in ploy to communicate with Homo Sapiens.
Yeah. People of this stripe have little respect for absolutely anywhere else in the world.
They still perceive themselves as living in a nation that is the seat of some imperial power, and anywhere else impudent enough to refuse our explicit orders simply needs to learn their place.
These are the same people getting stiffys about standing up to the EU (just like "the last two times" :eyeroll: ) and have decided that LARPing the blitz is the best solution for when the food starts to run out.
