Michel Barnier has said a no-deal Brexit is “very likely” and becoming more likely by the day after the Commons rejected all the alternative solutions to Theresa May’s deal.

Speaking in Brussels, the EU’s chief negotiator said Britain would need to take responsibility should a “positive majority” to avoid a looming cliff-edge Brexit on 12 April fail to emerge in the next few days.

“No deal was never our desired or intended scenario,” Barnier told an audience at a thinktank event. “But the EU27 is now prepared. It becomes, day after day, more likely.”

“This is a serious crisis and no-one can be pleased with what is happening in the UK currently”, he added.

1. Sadly the result of being led by latent anti-immigrant

right wingers. Same as here but our antis are not latent and are led by a non intelligent piece of flotsam.

2. It's important that

nothing undermine Russian operations to destabilize the West.

3. little doubt on what the outcome was going to be from the beginning. The Brits are learning the

hardway when youare manipulated by the russian faction hellbent on destroying their enemies without firing a shot.

4. The obvious vote - no Brexit whatsoever - seems to be the only option for them.

So of course they will only do what’s worst their country, much like 45.

7. Both the Torries and Labor won't let the UK vote to remain

While Corbyn is running Labor, and the Tories run by anybody, exist. This will never happen. the UK is going to hit no-deal Brexit like a fly on the windshield -- SPLAT!

5. Makes zero sense to do this as the European court ruled they can pull the plug

and not leave which is what they need to do.
Why they seem determined to do this makes no sense in light of that unless they stand to gain financially or of course Putin who wants to weaken the EU and NATO has something really bad on a number of politicians there.
That then begs the question of course of what could be that horrible for them to be willing to fuck their own people over this bad?

6. They fail and fail

It seems like an every day thing.
