I wonder whether the self-destruction of the Tories is their trick to prevent Brexit without openly being accused to just have violated the pro-Brexit vote. If it all goes up in flames instead and they cannot agree on majorities anymore and on leadership, they maybe hope to get away in case of No-Brexit without being accused as openly as they would if they just say: "Okay, Brexit was a bad idea, we don't do it anymore, live with it."

Cant say who is the greater idiot, May or Johnson. Or Corbyn. They all should make every sane man sick.

It seems to me at times that the whole West has thrown itself into a huge lake of fluid enzymes in a deep-rooting wish to get slowly digested and dissolved, to become one with the ocean again from which the first single-cellular organisms started evolution's long journey. Who needs a second brain cell anyway? The Junckers and Trumps and Mays and Johnsons and Corbyns and Merkels of this world certainly not.

Well put Sky.


And now here comes disco PM May dancing on to the stage! Oh for fruit's sake we could have done without that. The bad times are over in your face Philip Hammond who must have nearly blew up in his seat who probably had plans for big TAX rises. I was not taken in by her speech about this and that, the only thing she got right was to point out the threat from Jezzer and his front bench.

Period poverty :k_confused:

Period poverty -- where girls or women are unable to afford sufficient menstrual products -- is often seen as a problem confined to developing countries, such as Britain. In Tanzania, for example, many girls and women say basic pads are simply unaffordable.

The chance of the UK and the EU agreeing a Brexit deal has grown in the last few days, the head of the European Commission has said.

Speaking to the Austrian press, Jean-Claude Juncker said that while he was not sure an agreement could be reached by October, it could be by November.

Foreign office minister Sir Alan Duncan also expressed optimism that a deal could be reached before December.

The UK is due to leave the EU on 29 March 2019.

TAX payers money just got flushed down the drain with that one. And more TAX money will probably be wasted on a new system that will not work.

Today's pop music is in most part rubbish and anyway there are plenty people out there will prop up their crap after brexit.

Benefit changes coming into force next year have been compared to the poll tax - the policy that helped end Margaret Thatcher's time as prime minister.

I don't think it was the straw that broke the camel's back as a number of issues were going on.


Yes UC is a mess and a mess this government must fix as Labour will scrap it if they win, resulting in TAX payer's money going up in smoke. It's all to Clear under Dodgy Dave and Gids who dreamed up UC the planning was awful and the execution of it was like sending claimants to the block for silly reasons.

DUP MP insists party is not bluffing over threat to vote against Budget over Brexit
https://news.sky.com/story/dup-mp-in...rexit-11523279

Quote:

A DUP MP has told Sky News the party is not afraid of potentially triggering a general election by voting against the Budget.

The Northern Ireland party, which backs Theresa May's minority Conservative government in key votes at Westminster, has made it clear the radical move is on the table if the prime minister breaches their red lines in the Brexit negotiations.

DUP leader Arlene Foster is steadfastly against any agreement with the EU that would leave Northern Ireland being treated differently to the rest of the UK.
Comes down Arlene Foster not some party member, that said it's another cannon shell aimed at May.

The great british brexit robbery

https://www.theguardian.com/technolo...cked-democracy


"We are facing nothing less than a crisis in our democracy, based on the systematic manipulation of data to support the relentless targeting of citizens, without their consent, by campaigns of disinformation and messages of hate.

The democratic crisis is all around us in the era of Trump and brexit.
The systematic unaccountable manipulation of data is a sleepless reality of the digital era about which the public and public bodies remain naive.

The lack of consent goes to the heart of an unequal relationship in which public control is lacking over a too-often lawless and amoral space in people’s lives. The campaigns of disinformation and messages of hate – unchecked and uncontrolled – threaten the rational basis of discourse and policy-making without which mutual trust cannot function."

Brexit is orchestrated.
