re: #220 Alephnaught

Certainly is the last moment: The UK parliament will be recalled next Wednesday to vote on it. That is: Wednesday December 30th. The second last day before the transition period would run out, heralding a no-deal Brexit.

Also, it’s better than a no-deal Brexit, but the deal is still a hard Brexit, a possibility which was always played down as scaremongering by the Leave campaign in 2016.

To be fair, it’s better than no deal. In the same way that having your face gnawed off by a rat is better than having your face gnawed off by two rats.
