So, as there's now (in theory) going to be a delay........

Yet the bottom of the letter stated that it came from his office, hence choosing not to sign it was a deliberate petty decision to focus attention away from his failing to “see them in court” or be “dead in a ditch” rather than send the letter.  The great secret plan from No10/Cummings to thwart the Benn Act was to not sign the letter  

Also, I’m not the one who suggested that he may have just forgotten to sign it after a long day (!) so maybe it’s not me you should be responding too.

A cunning plan worthy of Baldrick...

I think you need to catch up on what is happening. Boris's letter stated quite clearly that it was not him who was asking for the extension..


"The UK parliament representative will therefore submit the request mandated by the EU (Withdrawal) (No.2) Act 2019 later today."

:While it is open to the European council to accede to the request mandated by parliament or to offer an alternative extension period, I have made clear since becoming prime minister, and made clear to parliament again today, my view, and the government’s position, that a further extension would damage the interests of the UK and our EU partners, and the relationship between us."

Yet nothing about forgetting to sign the letter.

LOL glad you keep your eye on the important issues

You were the one who suggested that reasoning, because he’d had a long day

I'm loving how they won't let this go.

Your post was not saying that was the reason. You mentioned it (and gave equal weight to saying maybe it was deliberate) as part of a post on why the reason doesn't matter.

Yet now it's all they can bang on about.

Still, with all the egg on faces that Boris wasn't negotiating and didn't want a deal, it gives them a nice distraction.

“graceless moaning”, that’s a new one. Considering before he became PM you said you didn’t like him and would vote for anyone who delivered Brexit, you have now become his biggest cheerleader on here.

So the option for Stormont, which hasn’t sat for 3 years, to have a vote every 4 years, has been added and yet the DUP are against it. Doesn’t really look like a great deal once you actually consider the effect.

Whilst I realise that you will say, again, that Macron once threatened to use the previous EU veto to retain fishing rights, I’d say it’s even less likely that Stormont will sit in 4 years’ time to vote either way, so NI continues as an EU rule-taker and Johnson has succeeded in breaking up the UK. Woohoo, what a hero achieving the impossible.

Graceless indeed.

Solid response.  Should I have curtsied before pointing out the flaws in your adoration for his ‘impossible’ deal?
