Thread Name: BS: Brexit again
Subject: RE: BS: Brexit again
Hey, Keith, get a load of this. From the Daily Mail, two weeks before the referendum.

MPs will block Brexit even if we vote to leave the EU in the referendum, according to David Cameron's father-in-law.

Lord Astor said he did not believe there would be a majority in the House of Commons to repeal the legislation that underpins our membership of the bloc.

The bizarre scenario is possible because the national ballot is only advisory - and most politicians support staying inside the EU.

There has already been speculation that MPs could prevent us quitting the European single market, as Brexit campaigners have suggested should happen if there is an Out vote on June 23.

Lord Astor - a Tory peer and Samantha Cameron's stepfather - made the prediction as he set out his support for keeping ties with Brussels, despite delivering a devastating critique of the way it functions.


From the DAILY BLOODY MAIL, Keith. Samcam's dad, Keith! Only advisory! Well whaddya know. The Mail knew it, Samcam's dad knew it (therefore Cameron knew it), we all knew it. Just poor ol' Keith in this big, wide world didn't know it. You should get out more, Keith! 😂
