Prime Minister Theresa May has not listened to police concerns about knife crime, a former head of the Metropolitan Police has said.

Mrs May said the deaths of young people were "appalling" as she announced an upcoming summit on knife crime.

But Lord Stevens told the BBC: "I don't think she listens, quite frankly, to what she's being told."https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-47472928
Apparently there are topics other than Brexit that she refuses to listen or take advice on.

The UK has been urged to table fresh proposals within the next 48 hours to break the Brexit impasse.

EU officials said they would work non-stop over the weekend if "acceptable" ideas were received by Friday to break the deadlock over the Irish backstop.https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-47476942
Come on PM....put up or shutup...now is the time.

Frustrated EU officials have urged UK Brexit negotiators to table a workable solution to the Irish backstop by Friday if they want a breakthrough in talks.https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/uknew...id=mailsignout

The UK's attorney general says Brexit negotiations will continue as EU officials call for "acceptable" ideas by Friday to break the impasse.

Geoffrey Cox said plans to solve the deadlock over the Irish backstop were "as clear as day", with just days until MPs vote on the Brexit deal.

Commons Leader Andrea Leadsom confirmed the vote will be held on 12 March.https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-47481872
Is the game of chicken coming to a conclusion?

If so, who will blink first?

Work and Pensions Secretary Amber Rudd has apologised for using the word "coloured" in a BBC interview.

Shadow home secretary Diane Abbott criticised the use of the term, saying it was "outdated", "offensive" and a "revealing choice of words".

What Irks me is that the correct PC term (Diane Abbott has used) is P.O.C (people of colour) how is that any different from 'colored'?
They both mean the exact same thing: Non-White.
Its total hypocrisy really.
So Abbot can go to hell along with Rudd as far as i'm concerned. They just practice different types of racism, that's all.
Sorry I voted for that idiot once (Abbot that is)

Look you old bag they have and they keep telling you over and over again and the message is not going into your thick head!

I predict she will deliver the impossible, a delayed hard brexit where we will be basically still in the EU.
Everyone will be too confused and fed up to complain about it! :haha:

Theresa May has asked the EU for "one more push" to get her Brexit deal through Parliament and warned that, if it fails, "we may never leave at all".https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-47487320
It'll take one helluva push!!

I think, Jim, the real highlight from your quoted article is this:
Quote:

1. "Back it and the UK will leave the EU," she said.

2. "Reject it and no-one knows what will happen. We may not leave the EU for many months. We may leave without the protections a deal provides,

3. we may never leave at all."
Isn't that ther first time ever she has given words to option three...? ;) She is slowly creeping towards the finishing line.

If that's indeed where she ends up taking this, here is a room full of people who will be surprised.

Usually I don't get myself involved in politics especially foreign politics. Left or right politicians always proved to be disappointments. Anyway I just can't stop laughing at this:

Well as I stated earlier, I can't see us leaving. What is even more worrying is the resentment the public will have towards the EU for many years to come.

EDIT: Meant to include Westminster and those MP's within as well.

STEED 03-09-19 02:00 PM

In most part the British public have been duped and here is why. Lets say we remain/leave there will be a lot of shouting at each other, remainders and leavers will slag each other and not unite against the very BASTARDS who have stitched the UK up like a kipper. Yes that lot at Westminster they won and will go on to enjoy it.



I urge you all to spread the word...STOP VOTING NOW!


Westminster needs a massive radical change and its us who can bring this about but if most people carry on voting for a foul useless out of date system you get the same old crap, no progress.


Those PIGS will always win until people wake up too what that lot are doing to us.

JU_88 03-09-19 02:28 PM

I dont think they won exactly, they are just as divided and bickering as the rest of the country, Labour might break up in along neo liberal Blairite / anti semiotic neo marxist lines, Some of the brexiteer cons might Defect to UKIP or Farages UKIP Mk 2 party. (because one UKIP wasn't enough apparently) Lib dems wallowing about in the middle being 2 faced and usless as usual.
So nothing but more hung parliaments on the way probably, and they will all be forced to work with those they disagree with, which they wont like it one bit.
:Kaleun_Thumbs_Up:
Unless is all some grand Illuminati style deception, and behind closed doors they are all slapping each other on the back ,bathing each other in champagne and twirling their mustaches at us behind fake mirrors. But I suspect they might be a bit too incompetent for that.

STEED 03-09-19 05:06 PM

Todate I see no evidance of the the Cons or Lab breaking down, just look at all the crap both partys have been through and still going through. And still they remain intacted, yes some MP's have left and even if they form a new party it will just go the way as the rest...useless.

It's a win win for these pigs as long as this useless out of date system remains.

Are you talking about Britain or Australia STEED? :hmmm:
