I chuckle every time imperial measurements are mentioned.

Am I the only one who weighs themselves in stones and pounds?

In all serious though, I am all for closer links with our European neighbours. Not though under the present system.

And any future arrangement should be put to the people instead of this hole that has been dug out by European politicians (including the UK) for the last twenty years or so.

On a serious note pounds and ounces might be easy but it’s a dead measurement. If we’re going to be this Mecca of manufacturing and export free from the shackles of the EU people need to wake up and realise that it’s not just the EU that’s modernised. If anyone has voted leave to free us of the metric system then quite frankly they’re a fucking idiot. The world trades, designs, manufactures, ships goods, pays for goods in the metric system.

It’s like they actually believe that the world revolves around the UK.

Even the might of America hasn’t been able to stop the march of the metric system. Something we should be proud of. After all, we did invent the metric system.

No one would vote to leave to regain imperial measurements and if you believe that then you're ever so slightly out of touch.
On the other hand why would anyone need to demand a return to a system we still use on a daily basis today, or have you forgotten we still use pints, miles , feet and inches , alongside metric measures.
Perhaps you should demand we do away with pints in pubs because no one else uses it. Or do you just ask for the equivalent in litres just to show how clever you are ?

Am I being a bit thick here? (Don't say yes before you have read on at least a little bit)

Re these PM letters to the EU. The Benn act letter is a legal binding letter of parliamentary law isn't it. These other letters/emails are just Boris Johnson's hope and opinion aren't they?

Is that too simplistic?

The European Agency that the letter needs to be sent to can only deal with Governments and not Parliaments.

Government can send what they like but also need to send this letter. Looks like they may bury this letter in a mass of information asking for all kind of stuff making the letter valueless.

What did they vote to bring back then? Cos blue passports and the death penalty aren’t exactly helping your case either.

Your case that thinking people voted for pounds and ounces was silly, when the poll shows the other options with more support to be just as silly. Point is a significant portion of Leave voters seem to want some silly things, and are unable to give a sensible reason for their vote. So it’s fair to assume some did vote leave for these silly things.

The only thing you’re proving is that we don’t need to leave the EU to retain our quirks, such as driving on the left. Our quirks are compatible with the EU and indeed the rest of the modern world.

I know someone who voted leave because they believed (seen it on a post on Facebook and it had a picture with it and as per Facebook law if it has a picture it’s definitely true) that the EU was about to force the Euro on us. It didn’t matter how much fact you showed them regarding our (and Denmark’s for that matter) opt out that’s negated is from ever committing to joining the Euro they’d read it on Facebook and it had a picture so that was good enough.

The irony of tory mps openly saying it's worse than May's deal, having voted against that deal but now saying they will vote for this deal.

labour and Lib Dem MPs will support it if it’s attached to a referendum even though it’s still a 50 50 split

as a referendum would take at least 4 months and probably 6 months to actually take place the opposition are also saying they will keep this government in place for at least that long

Dependant on certain amendments according to Starmer just now on Andrew Marrs Show. Labour believes that there’s a trapdoor to no deal contained in it and the want that bolting shut first.

But this one was negotiated by a posh man so therefore is more worthy of being voted for than one by a silly little woman.

Also found it odd they called Parliament in on Saturday for the first time in a generation to vote on this bill and in the end they only thing they voted for was to not vote on the bill????

Its becoming quite clear that the plan was to always vote down Mays Deals to get Boris in after he fucked the leadership bid first time round.

“Super Saturday” was all spin to put pressure on the house to vote for his deal or risk no deal. Same as all the guff about having a great plan to avoid the Benn act and then it was just: don’t write your signature.

You do realise he’s only in power as Mr Corbyn seems very reluctant to use actual legislation as opposed to interpretation of unwritten constitutions to end his tenure
