EU leaders have agreed on a plan to delay the Article 50 process, postponing Brexit beyond 29 March.

The UK will be offered a delay until 22 May, if MPs approve the withdrawal deal negotiated with the EU next week.

If they do not, the EU will back a shorter delay until 12 April, allowing the UK time to get the deal through or to "indicate a way forward".

Mrs May said there was now a "clear choice" facing UK MPs, who could vote for a third time on her deal next week.

French President Emmanuel Macron told the room that before coming to Brussels he had thought May had only a 10 percent chance of winning the vote. After listening to the prime minister, he said, he had cut his estimate — to five percent.

To general assent, one person present said, summit chair Donald Tusk shot back that Macron was being “very optimistic”.

Whatever situation the British Prime Minister finds herself in she got there by not listening to the advice of Donald J. Trump, President of the United States.

Just keep delaying it until the little people forget about it, until the elites figure out how to reverse the whole thing.

Hundreds of gagging orders taken out by government

... Both the Treasury and the Department for the Environment, Fisheries and Rural Affairs, told Sky News that they had signed NDAs, but refused to elaborate on the numbers they had signed.

They said that it would be too burdensome to calculate, suggesting that it would take a worker more than two days of work to collate the information.

There is a clear choice alright, and ditching the Euro Tyrants is just the first step. That is why the English Masters are scared.

She’s been trying to submarine it from the start.

So far I’d say she’s done a pretty good job of that.

“EU leaders have agreed on a plan to delay the Article 50 process, postponing Brexit beyond 29 March.”

EU leaders???

I thought Brexit was a British initiative.

Will EU leaders ordain that the England is no longer a nation?

It certainly is not a sovereign nation any more.

If the World War II generation, in Britain, had the mindset of the present generation, they would have surrendered to Hitler without a protest.
