So desperately, abominably irresponsible and inept. MPs must give themselves power to extend Article 50 immediately.
And not for three months or any of that tepid horseshit. For a year, so they can start to figure out exactly what the fuck it is they're doing.
Three months accomplishes nothing. It doesn't give time for anything. It is defined by the expectations of the domestic debate, rather than a credible assessment of what we're trying to achieve.
If indeed anyone can even say what that is anymore.
We should extend for a year and the Brexiters get another chance to try and work out something which can pass domestically and be accepted in Brussels.
After that, bets are off. They'd have cunted it so vigorously that they'd lose the right to enact.
There has to come a point where we say: you are fucking things up so consistently, thoroughly and remorselessly that we're pulling the plug .
They've shown precisely no ability to manage this process in an adult way. They've shown no understanding of the systems they're discussing. They've shown no ability to consider the interests of the country over their own spaffed-out ideological wet dreams. Enough is enough.
We can't let these people keep on turning us into a laughing stock, or holding the economic and political future of the country to ransom. We have to take back control.
