No point because, according to the BBC "EU Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier said the EU would not grant a delay without a "concrete plan" from the UK about what they would do with it." so that settles that

All together now...

Vote Leave fined over thousands of unsolicited texts




The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) has fined Brexit Campaign group Vote Leave £40,000 ($53,000) for sending out nearly 200,000 unsolicited text messages.

The text messages contained a link to the campaign website alongside information about its ambitions.

They were sent in the run-up to the EU referendum in 2016.

The ICO said the group had been unable to prove that everyone who received the message had consented to the contact.

Vote Leave said it had gathered numbers from people who had contacted it.

It said the numbers came from website enquiries, texts it had received in response to other promotions and from running its own football competition.

Pro-Brexit Labour group fined by watchdog
Early on in the campaign, Vote Leave launched a competition with a prize of £50m for correctly guessing the result of all 51 games in the 2016 European football championship.

The odds of winning the contest - which Vote Leave funded through an insurance policy - were calculated at one in 5,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.

According to the ICO, Vote Leave said that since the referendum it had deleted records of the consent, the phone numbers the messages were sent to and the volume of messages sent and received.

The ICO put the figure at 194,154 messages.

The email address provided on the Vote Leave website no longer works.

"Spam texts are a real nuisance for millions of people and we will take action against organisations who disregard the law," said Steve Eckersley, ICO Director of Investigations.

"Direct marketing is not just about selling products and services. It's also about promoting an organisation's aims and ideals.

"Political campaigns and parties, like any other organisations, have to comply with the law."

[PM May to request only 'short delay'
to Brexit in letter to EU
An extension until 30 June is expected
as that is the last day Britain could remain
in the EU without taking part in EU elections.]

There is absolutely no point in the EU giving us an extension unless they’re willing to open up the withdrawal agreement.
Otherwise in three months we’ll be in exactly the same position.

I literally don’t care anymore, just leave or don’t. Make a decision and do it, stop dragging it out.

They may have to force her out of office, she's too inflexible with that bloody deal of hers.

they can't force her out, she would have to resign. Wouldn't blame her if she did resign. She will go down in history as one of the worst prime ministers ever, and that's not going to change now, but, I don't believe anyone could have got a deal together that would have been accepted in parliament, because the majority of MP's don't want to leave, even if thats what the country voted for.
