Theresa May's last last chance has gone

With absolute predictability Theresa May's bizarre attempt to persuade MPs to vote for half of her deal, leaving the second half for some future date has failed. So now the May deal has failed failed failed. Three times. The EU has thrown up its collective hands in despair and has decided that a no-deal Brexit is now the only way forward. Can that really be true? Are we going to crash out of the EU with no deal because MPs cannot, will not, refuse even to contemplate the May deal as it stands. Even those voting for it seem to hate it. So apart from crashing out on April 12 without any deal whatsoever, the only other alternative it seems is to extend Brexit almost for ever while Parliament spends months exhausting all other options although most MPs apart from the rabid Brexiteers are looking for a soft exit which means staying in the EU customs union and single market, and thus prevent the UK from seeking trade deals outside the EU. Just like old times. Why on earth go for this option when the obvious alternative is just to stay in the EU? By throwing out May's deal for a third time there can't be a fourth or fifth attempt. May should announce from Downing Street that her Brexit deal is now dead, it is no more, it is defunct, dead as a dead parrot, no longer breathing. Then she should either give up and hand over to someone else or do what she promised she would never do which is to stay in the EU for at least another year or two which would mean the UK taking part in the upcoming European parliament election. What a farce that would be. I reckon that's what's going to happen. The UK will NOT leave the EU by May 22 but will agree to suspend Article 50 or as long as posible, take part in the European elections and carry on the bitching in Parliament ad infinitum. What a fine prospect that will be. It is quite clear that after nearly three years, the job of actually leaving the EU is impossible. It can't be done. The EU bureaucrats have been brilliant. They realised that if the UK found it difficult to leave with a consensus then none of the other 27 members would even try to do the same. It can't be done. It's a club which has strict entry rules and closed exit doors. WE ARE STUCK!!!
