The Tories are on the brink of warfare over Brexit

http://www.businessinsider.com/conservative-conference-eu-brexit-article-50-birmingham-2016-10

The Conservative party is a ticking time bomb ready to explode over the issue of Brexit.

On camera, UK prime minister Theresa May and the rest of the ruling Tory party put on a united front. The prime minister received a standing ovation on Sunday when she declared "Brexit means Brexit and we are going to make a success of it."

But, behind the scenes, in the many fringe events and receptions taking place in Birmingham as part of the party's annual get-together, battle lines are being drawn between Brexiteers and those who wanted Britain to Remain in the European Union....

Despite the Tory leadership's best efforts to portray unity, the party is in the early stages of a split which could spill over into all-out warfare in the coming months.


Can this be? The repukes and Tories imploding at the same time?! Of course, that implies that the end times are upon us, which would likely include a Cubs Series win at the expense of the even-numbered-year Giants.
