Edit/Fifth and falling, like Boris
Corbyn rivals May in stubbornness. Between them they will land us in a very bad place. But it is the Tories who will primarily be responsible and who will rightly take the blame.

If it gets above 50%, is that sufficient authority to set up an anarcho-syndicalist commune instead?

There are people who think it healthy to drink their own urine.
is not really what we need a few months before we divide up financial markets and make regulatory oversight and risk management more difficult, potentially much more difficult than before.
Members of Parliament appear to split, broadly speaking, into four substantial (if not quite equal) blocs: People's Voters, Norwegians, Dealers and No Dealers. If a majority for either revocation or one of the first three positions cannot be assembled - and demonstrated conclusively to exist through a Commons vote - before March 29th then the No Dealers win - and Corbyn is amongst them, even if he cannot admit as much publicly for obvious reasons.
Maybe so. But he is right that (a) our political class has been found wanting; and (b) that Britain has simply not taken Ireland seriously, indeed has been annoyed that it should take Ireland and its requirements seriously.
Listen to those commentators on the WATO earlier. All of them had either worked or studied here, all had a fondness for Britain and all were astounded - and not in a good way - at the way we were dealing with this.
We would do well to see ourselves as others are now seeing us instead of mulishly insisting that we're right and the rest of the world is wrong.

“It’s a bit like playing strip-poker with someone who’s an exhibitionist,” said Hosuk Lee-Makiyama, the director of the Brussels-based European Center for International Political Economy. “They don’t care about economic costs. They care about sovereignty. We just assumed that they had the same interests and the same costs as we do, and they don’t...
Brexit will bring sunlit uplands.
That Anglo-German trade deal in particular that David Davis promised will sort everything out.

I don't understand how the bank balances were 'faked'
In Corbyn's case, it's particularly silly (in the eyes of floating voters, not necessarily with his base), given who he's previously talked to and shared a platform with.
To think there's some terminally stupid people who think David Davis would have done a decent job as Brexit Secretary if Mrs May had let him.

His succinct reply was 'They all just think it’s a mess and British people are idiots.'
He works with, and has customers, and social contacts, in all sorts of places Eastwards from Pakistan to Japan, and South to NZ. He lives 'Out East' and his children go to an international school where there are children of 60+ nationalities.

Surprised he won't talk with May, given who he's been happy to meet. Do Hamas still throw gay people and political rivals off rooftops, or is that a bit passe nowadays?
With May's deal - like Blair going into Iraq, potentially 2005 is still to come. Flouncing to the right will happen, but be limited.
With Remain or a softer deal. Can they hold confidence? Winter of Discontent a good analogy, with a full Labour 78-92 cycle to play out. Whether in or out of power through it, messy.
With No Deal: Imagine the Arab Spring had happened to coincide with the peak of Blair's militarism and we now had long-term occupying missions from.Tunis to Riyadh to Sanaa to Damascus to Doha and due to stretch lost some actual military campaigns and made a worse job of the peace.
The first two will eventually provoke a normal 15 year cycle, the third all bets are off.
Troops Out!
Or something like that anyway.
Regardless, these might not necessarily be the most amusing times ever for us to be living through, but this has the potential to make a magnificent West End hit when it's all over.
"Strong and Stable: The Musical," or "The Brexit That Goes Wrong," perhaps?
Perhaps you missed this paragraph - "In this it was beautifully mirrored by the EU itself which never properly realised that having a country such as Britain with its different history, political and legal culture and approach as a member required a step change in its approach and thinking, beyond simply shuffling up a bit to make room for a few more chairs round the table."
Or this - "The EU may – at its worst – be many infuriating things: arrogant, complacent, sometimes venal, often deaf to concerns, inflexible, insensitive, self-interested, defensive, obstructive, unimaginative, overly bureaucratic, with a tendency to overreach, sometimes undemocratic etc."
French officers would ride into battle in full dress uniform, at the head of soldiers wearing bright blue and scarlet, and were cut down in droves.

I simply can't understand how the banks could be so far off in this case. It suggests an absolubtely staggering level of incompetence by the auditors.
Edited: plus the problem has been going back three years. That's an awful lot of occasions when something should have been spotted and wasn't.
Whatever happens, we have got
The Maxim gun,
And they have not!
Actually, a governmental quad of Coops, Liddo, Benners and the Governator wouldn’t be too bad. Compared to what we have now, Shangrila.

The Japanese won, so the conclusion they drew was that aggressive strategies paid off. They ignored the fact that the Russians inflicted dreadful casualties on the Japanese, despite the incompetence of their leaders.
oddly enough my grandfather ! Once out of the army he returned home built a house in county Monaghan met a girl ( prod ) and married her, He became an anglicen then had a bust up with the minister and went Presbyterian.
And all of this in the middle of the war of independence and the civil war in the border counties. Nutjob ! It must be where I get it from:-)
Revoke Article 50.
It's often easier and more comforting to ignore what is staring you directly in the face, but that does not make it go away. Instead, it just means the same things happen again and again.
The English public school is brilliant at what it does - and that's what makes it the most dangerous institution on earth. It turns the unremarkable, often dim, children of the wealthy into adults who are able to hide their innate stupidity behind a well-spoken veneer of self-confidence.
