BREXIT! BREXIT! BREXIT!

knoucle dragging neo fascist... that admirably describes the morons who believe that leaving Europe will lead to Britain recovering the Empire il lost more than half a century ago... of course, you no longer have the army, navy, or population pool to recreate those to even control such an empire, and you can't go back on independence that has been granted without doing some heavy warfare... not wars you can win anymore...

If those nasty Europeans start to terrorise the mother country, Oz will send a gunboat!

I thought it just sailed round the Med? When it's not refitting.

We'll just send an Astute to sink it.

France? Pah!

We've not had a stand-up fight with les Crapauds for ages. It wouldn't be any dumber than BREXIT, so who knows.....

That plan is far more detailed and nuanced than real life.

Excellent! We could do with a carrier group. We''l send out one of our small patrol boats, and when they surrender, we'll re-name the carrier "RAN Crocodile Dundee"

I stuffed up, so I'll get in a correction before Hermit spots it.

It should, of course, be "HMAS Crocodile Dundee", not "RAN Crocodile Dundee"...

May hopes to hold fourth vote on Brexit deal

Theresa May hopes to bring her Brexit deal back to parliament again next week after it was rejected for a third time by MPs – and appears poised to trigger a general election if parliament fails to agree a way forward.

Despite the embattled prime minister’s dramatic promise on Wednesday that she would hand over the keys to 10 Downing Street if her Tory colleagues backed the withdrawal agreement, parliament voted against it on Friday, by 344 to 286.

The Commons vote was held on the day when Britain was meant to be leaving the European Union, as Parliament Square outside overflowed with raucous pro-Brexit protesters.

A string of leave-supporting Conservative backbenchers who had twice rejected the deal, including Boris Johnson, Jacob Rees-Mogg and former Brexit secretary Dominic Raab, switched sides to support the agreement. But with Labour unwilling to shift its position, and the Democratic Unionist party’s 10 MPs implacably opposed, it was not enough to secure a majority for May.

The result was a sense of stunned disbelief in Westminster. Asked what could happen next, one government source said: “Last one out, turn off the lights.”...

Svarty would have been more likely to notice.

Anyway, a couple of rubber duckies would suffice to do the job. Meet HMAS Jolly Swagman and HMAS Waltzing Matilda.

I haven't had to scavenge flesh from a near corpse and there's still toilet roll in the shops. Not what I was expecting from today.

There's still time. But knowing you Bits, you'll queue politely for your turn at the corpse...
