How the UK lost Brexit battle.

- How the UK lost Brexit battle – POLITICO

I think it is pretty much all over, except for the shouting.
With yesterdays indicative votes in the HoC, my personal belief is that we’ll end up in a no-deal Brexit.
There is no clear road forward. TM’s deal is dead. Only two options remain, no-deal or an extension.

An extension would require elections to the EP.
Those elections would automatically turn into something akin to a put-it-to-the-people-vote, something the Brexiteers cannot/will not allow.

Уникальность именно этого исполнения несомненна. Даже в Зальцбурге, месяцем позже, не было такого космического темпа и Света.
И еще в Зальцбурге не было нового речитатива.

Audio recording of the concert at the Moscow Philharmonic on June 17, 2017. (amateur, part tolerable, part good)
The uniqueness of this particular performance is beyond doubt.
Even in Salzburg, a month later, there was no such cosmic pace and Light.
And in Salzburg there was no new recitative.
