Different name same delusions. Probably wouldn't have the ability to wind up a clockwork mouse. Meanwhile...
//The EU’s chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier has told the UK to “finalise preparations for no deal” after Prime Minister Theresa May announced that she is set to ask the bloc to delay Brexit.
Speaking to media on Tuesday afternoon, Mr Barnier acknowledged that while last week the House of Commons had voted to take no deal off the table, “Voting against no deal does not prevent it from happening.
“Everyone should now finalise preparations for a no-deal scenario.”
“On the EU side, we are prepared,” the French bureaucrat continued. “The European Parliament and Council have approved nearly all the contingency measures and are working on the two last measures that still need to be adopted, namely on short-term visas and the EU budget for 2019.”
Brussels and European leaders had made it clear to Prime Minister May after she lost her second vote on the Withdrawal Agreement that the UK should prepare to make a clean break on the planned departure date of March 29th.
However, Mrs May refuses to accept a no deal and continues to ignore the promises of the EU, whose bureaucrats seem at present to be more willing than the UK’s prime minister to fulfil the terms of Article 50 and the will of the British people by delivering Brexit at the end of this month.//
Oh dear, if that doesn't scream General Election nothing does.

So it appears from your copy Togo that we are in fact pretty close to having sorted a no deal out.
It’s just the UK parliment that is playing sillybuggers.
As is usual the screamers and the remainextremists are trying to make it seem like nothing has been done.
A shirt extension to kick their backsides and get the legislation through is all that is needed. Or leave on 29th March and make them work for their pay.

Exactly Cassa. Barnier's statement was reported all across the rest of the EUSSR by TV & Radio stations, and was reported in their press. Not a peep in the UK from our "national broadcaster" and not a word in the mainstream press here. Ever likely the Europeans think we have gone daft. They cannot even understand what May's rabbit in the headlights game is, never mind us who are being given the mushroom treatment. The pyramid schemers do not want MEPs parachuted into their faux parliament for sure. Nigel scares them to death...……...he has their number and knows the sly ways of the place. They will not let him become a rallying point for the increasing number of eorosceptics that are becoming more active every day. I have almost come round to the opinion that we are better off inside the tent and fouling the atmosphere than outside and letting them manipulate us.
This makes interesting reading.
//How it is possible that Ms May, her sidekick Mr Olly Robbins, the cabinet or indeed the HoC (and never mind the Remain MSM) are ignorant of what the EU, in the form of M Barnier, keeps telling them? Do they still not understand that there will either be another big fat ‘No, Non, Nein’, or that Ms May will be told yet again that she has to accept the EU diktat?
“Mrs May’s letter to Donald Tusk, the European Council president, spelling out the exact extension request was held back by a nervous No 10 last night. Senior ministers said that she appeared undecided whether to ask for a longer extension and anger Tory Brexiteers or risk the humiliation of having terms imposed on her.
In what appeared to be a co-ordinated effort to limit her options, EU leaders set a series of conditions before tomorrow’s summit, the last before Britain is scheduled to leave.
Michel Barnier, Brussels’ chief Brexit negotiator, said that if the prime minister failed to get backing for the withdrawal agreement in the coming week she would have to commit to a change in political direction. […] In a meeting with EU foreign and European affairs ministers Mr Barnier said that only a change to the government’s red lines, a general election or a referendum would justify a long delay, according to a diplomatic note.”//

Since she's already gone too far over the so-called red lines already, and they aren't going to be so daft as to call another disastrous (for Tories/DUP) general election, and a further referendum would be political suicide for the party, it looks as if she has nowhere to go save to face up to her responsibilities at last. One lives in hopes.
Meanwhile, over on the mainland:
“Commissioner Johannes Hahn has said there is no room for renegotiating the Swiss deal - in an echo of the EU's line on the other current deal with a non-EU state, Brexit” [seems from that we've already left. If only we were a non-EU state I'd be delirious].
As some background:
“Switzerland has for decades had a range of bilateral agreements - more than 120 sectorial pacts - with the EU that regulates access to parts of the bloc's single market.
The EU wants to combine those agreements together under a single framework agreement, that would also guarantee that new or amended EU rules are adopted in Switzerland.”
Anybody who has any doubts about the EU's aim to force the whole of Europe to comply with their regime (or else) should perhaps have a re-think. Even non-members are not safe from their grasp.
It seems the UK is not the only sovereign nation being pushed into a “deal” with the EU. You vill comply, Tommy!
