The reaction to PM May's Brexit Plan based upon the referendum to Leave...total rejection, seems to be the compelling outcome. Thus the UK will stay in the EU, not by hook, but by crook. Labor's vote of No Confidence will fail. No new election. The Tory Govt will not fall. It was always a 'big ask' to tell a Government that didn't believe in Leaving at all, to organise the Leaving. Neither the Conservative Party or the Labour Party believe its a good thing to leave the EU. It does provide a glaring hole in the notion of democracy in the UK, for sure but I think the only outcome will be, in the future, fewer referenda.

looking forward to NE China in Summer, 2019. I can wear polyester pants, a white polyester shirt with buttons undone from the bottom up and the shirt ends tied together at nipple line, exposing my gut, and carrying a very cold bottle of beer in the street, resting it on my belly, to cool it down, the way successful Chinese men of my age do on any hot day. I can do that. Maybe even buy a small singing bird in a cage to take home, or a cricket in a matchbox, to show my friends. And, late at night, put on pyjamas and pick up a tin and walk downtown to buy a meal of noodles and fish, put it in the tin, and walk home, stopping to smoke from time to time, and listen to the little cricket in my pocket. Maybe even join an impromptu gang of old men in similar pyjamas on some corner and talk about this and that in the hot night. Talk about gambling, and women, and crickets and bird song.
