The European Union and MPs in the House of Commons have backed Theresa May's plan to secure an extension to the UK's Brexit date.

Oh Joy, I think I can just about stomach 2 more minutes of this nonsense, who cares anymore, we stuck our fingers up at the EU, they laughed eloquently back at us, "yes you can have an extension, look they cant let go", I voted in favour of leave and what have I learnt, well my X aint worth squat, not a single politician (including your Farage, is he still claiming his EU expenses, you know he is) has an ounce of common sense, sit down if your an MP this may come as a shock
THERE WAS NEVER GOING TO BE A DEAL
why would the EU give any leeway to the UK, why give any concenssions, has no one been divorced before in parliment
We chose (democratically when all said and done) to leave, I was not required to then negotiate this shiz, why offer me something if all 600+ MPs of ALL parties, have no clue or desire to put into play.
Lets just move on, so sick of the news being infested with that god dam B word, BolloX, theirs my X in a box for ya

Dude, another YEAR it sounds like. Never seen anything like it. You can just tell they want to make people give in and say cancel article 50. Thing is, Brits aint like the French as far as protesting so I don't know.

It could, just as well, have been the other way around
And .. nowhere, anywhere, was the question put to the people: "HOW would you like the UK to leave"
perhaps you can stop acting as if it is the EU that is trying to keep the UK aboard

That's exactly why it took the UK this long to, er, not decide yet: parliament represents the people, and the people actually don't know which way to go. Remember, you are just one of the roughly 33,5 million people that voted, and not even 52% voted leave - where over 48% voted remain. If it's that close, you can't say that "the people decided".
And .. nowhere, anywhere, was the question put to the people: "HOW would you like the UK to leave"..
Also, perhaps you can stop acting as if it is the EU that is trying to keep the UK aboard. That's not the case,
British that hesitantly and by a teeny-weeny majority decided to leave, well, kind of, well, no, well, yes, well if we can figure out how...

My goodness. How long are they going to drag this out?
Your government isn't even pretending to give you what you want.
