There follow two alternative visions of November 1st. Please read them both then vote. 1/
Version A. Harriet Harmon, who was nominated by Jeremy Corbyn as Labour's first woman prime minister, calls a general election having first agreed a further extension with the EU. Corbyn is confident of leading his party to victory. /2
Version B: Johnson has carried out his threat to leave the EU with no deal. All cross-Channel ferries have been cancelled because of congestion on the French side. Queues on the M20 and. M2 stretch all the way to London. There is mass looting. Martial law has been invoked. /3
Please vote for which of the above two predictions you prefer to see come real. /end
There are actually people voting for this outcome. I believe these jerks call themselves patriots.

A critical moment is coming - the moment it is confirmed that Parliament has been suspended.
At that moment, we must pour into London and lay siege to Whitehall. And STAY THERE until Parliament is restored.
No ifs, no buts. WE MUST NOT FAIL THIS TEST. #BlockTheCoup
Yes, if #LiarJohnson tries to silence our Parliament, we will #TakeWhitehall. And, let us be clear: we WILL NOT be seeking permits from the "authorities". The "authorities" are those stealing our liberty. We don't want their permission, we want them GONE. #BlockTheCoup
IMPORTANT!
I am one voice, and I could be silenced. I need others to pile onto this. The plan is simple:
IF Johnson shuts Parliament, put out a call using #FBPE and #TakeWhitehall. That's it.
Then everyone get your arses to Whitehall and stay there till democracy is restored.

Hot off the blocks, Today's papers are full of the collapse of Laterooms.com and its sister company Super Break. 250 jobs gone at a stroke. Surely nothing to do with the slumping pound and an impending recession? theguardian.com/business/2019/…
Just two days ago, I learned from Twitter that this small business in the southwest had folded with the loss of 8 jobs. facebook.com/BrexitWrecksIt…
Cabinet Office: no-deal will lead to medicine shortages; disruptions to the food supply chain and panic buying; demonstrations and civil disorder that would stretch the police thin; and the risk that low-income groups will be hit by price rises on food, fuel and utilities...
Sky News also has an official document setting out the threats to borders, the economy, security, data, Northern Ireland and individuals. “Law and order challenges” in Northern Ireland, gaps in security and difficulty for Britons returning from abroad are among predictions...
This is a description of a country at war, but Britain's only enemy in this instance is itself.
Inflicting this suffering on the British people is #JihadiJohnson's actual government policy.
An unelected Prime Minister with no Commons majority waging war on his own people...
The unemployment statistics are calculated using an international standard, but successive UK governments have "gamed" the system by promoting the creation of insecure and underpaid jobs. This is euphemistically called "a flexible labour market".
The reality in the UK is massive poverty among even people in work. Children are going to school hungry. There is growing demand at food banks. People with jobs are living rough. This is not a labour market that delivers the needs of workers, and it has to change.
