Bozo should give that Poison Dwarf up in Scotland another chance to win their independence, if she gets another chance of one I hope the little currant wins it. Good luck Scotland and a big **** off from from me and millions of like minded people. :haha:

As for Bozo and this Brexit fiasco he should 3 line whip the bastards into line, we'll see then if those MPs have got the bottle for a fight instead of cowering behind the backbench mouthpieces. Go get em Bozo.

Dont be so tribal against scotland!
Anyway Jimmy Cranky (as Jim calls her) is in freefall at the moment.
And the SNP's popularity is starting to wane. cant say im too surprised with some of the insane policies they have been peddling recently, particularly when it comes to policing speech.

Ex-Conservative MP Charlie Elphicke has been jailed for two years for sexually assaulting two women.
Elphicke, 49, the former MP for Dover, was convicted of groping the women in similar situations, nine years apart.
He denied the charges, but was found guilty of one count of sexual assault in 2007 and two further counts in 2016, after a trial at Southwark Crown Court.
The judge told Elphicke he was a "sexual predator who used your success and respectability as a cover".
The defendant's wife Natalie, the current Dover MP, ended their marriage after his conviction in July.

Some people just can't balance power and responsibility.

I think before coming out with statements like that one above Skybird one must assess the publics mood on the subject, anything that removes the EU's involvement in British affairs will get a Brexiteer thumbs up from me and millions of others as well.
Its time these London Journalists got out and about and into the heartlands of England to ask them what they think about all this nonsense, I'm sure they would all go whimpering back to that rathole they came from with more than a flea in their ear. :haha:

Forgiving a country, or forgiving citizens of today that have nothing to do with what happened in the past?
Can anyone feel responsible or guilty for what was done two generations ago by humans he never met or knew? Surely not.
Should anyone try to never let such things never happen again? Absolutely.

But do you ask yourself whether colonies, slaves or whatever xour glorious Empire suppressed and killed forgive "England"? Which England? The 'nation'? The England of today?

Yeah, that's how I feel about SLAVERY, I'm right there with you. Tired of hearing about it.

A proposed law giving Boris Johnson's government the power to override parts of the Brexit agreement with the EU has passed its first hurdle in the Commons.

MPs backed the Internal Market Bill by 340 votes to 263.

Ministers say it contains vital safeguards to protect Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK, if negotiations on a future trade deal break down.

But critics, including a number of Tory MPs, warned it risks damaging the UK by breaching international law.

Two Tory MPs voted against the bill on Monday night - Sir Roger Gale and Andrew Percy - while a further 30 abstained, although some of those may not have been for political reasons.

Although the government has a majority of 80 in the Commons, it is braced for further rebellions in the coming weeks as the legislation receives detailed scrutiny.

Several prominent Conservatives, including former Chancellor Sajid Javid - who appeared to abstain on Monday - have said they could not support the final bill unless it is amended.

But Home Secretary Priti Patel insisted it put the "safeguards and mechanisms in place to ensure that we stay true to the people of Northern Ireland".

Never underestimate the stupidity of Weegie left-wingers - they mindlessly voted Labour before and they're just as mindlessly voting for the SNP now.

I'd never heard the term weegies before today so I looked the word up, mind boggling to say the least, my apologies to all none weegies.

Just 1 definition of the slang word Weegie, there's more but this one says it all, I've no idea who wrote it or why they even think a weegie is the scum of the earth, there's some strange people about these days. :o

A weegie is someone from Glasgow, Scotland. Weegies are the scum of the earth who have no jobs and don't know what a bar of soap is. they have never had a wash and are scared of water. They are all inbred and there father and mother are sister and brother. Weegies have no money and are all on the dole. they collect there giro every week to buy there smack and buckie and then occasionaly go and gloryhunt by watching either Glasgow Rangers or Celtic on a saturday but dont know anything about the team. Weegies are scum of the earth.
"Feed the weegies, let them know it's christmas time"

"You are a weegie, a smelly weegie, your only happy on giro day. Yer ma's stealer, yer dad's a dealer, so please dont take my hub caps away"

Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab is in Washington, where he is expected to try to reassure US politicians about the latest Brexit developments.

Some US politicians are concerned about the UK government's plan to override parts of the Brexit divorce deal.

Mr Raab will meet US Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who last week said there would be no UK-US trade deal if the Good Friday Agreement was undermined.

No 10 has said the 1998 peace accord will be upheld in all circumstances.

Mr Raab is due to meet leading politicians including his US counterpart, Mike Pompeo, as well as Democratic Congresswoman Ms Pelosi, who is speaker of the House of Representatives.

Let's just say that Glaswegians of a certain sort are viewed in the same way in Scotland as Scousers of the same sort are in England.:03:

There's a fair bit in common between the Clyde Valley and Merseyside, but at least the latter doesn't make up 40% of England's population.:doh:

Boris Johnson has told MPs he believes the EU may not be negotiating with the UK in good faith.

The PM was explaining why he wants to overwrite parts of the Brexit deal he signed with the EU in January.

He said it was to prevent the EU behaving in an "unreasonable" way if the UK fails to agree a trade deal.

Pressed by Labour's Hilary Benn on whether he thought the EU was negotiating in good faith, he said: "I don't believe they are."

This contradicted Northern Ireland Secretary Brandon Lewis, who earlier told MPs he believed the EU was acting in good faith.

When that was put to him, Mr Johnson said it was "always possible that I am mistaken and perhaps they will prove my suspicions wrong".

Biden repeats warnings to the UK by Pelosi over Northern Ireland, saying peace in NI must not become a victim of Brexit if the UK wants a trade deal with the US.

Jimbuna 09-17-20 12:46 PM

Government plans to amend a controversial bill that overrides sections of the Brexit divorce deal have been rejected by former Tory leader Lord Howard.

The peer said the compromise between No 10 and Tory MPs "isn't enough" for him to back it in the House of Lords.

The proposed changes would hand the Commons a say before powers to break international law could be used.

MPs will vote on them next week, before the bill heads to the Lords.

Amal Clooney has quit her role as the UK's envoy on press freedom "in dismay" at the government's willingness to break international law over Brexit.

The human rights lawyer said it was "lamentable" for Boris Johnson to be contemplating overriding the Brexit agreement he signed last year.

She could not tell others to honour legal obligations when the UK "declares it does not intend to do so itself".

Acting "in good faith" depends on who says or believes in it :03:

This is the second such incident since February :o

Quote:

Dominic Raab's bodyguard has been "removed from operational duties" after allegedly leaving his gun on a plane at Heathrow.

A cleaner is reported to have found the loaded Glock 19 pistol in its holster on a seat on the United Airlines flight after it landed in London on Friday.

In February, a bodyguard for former prime minister David Cameron was investigated for reportedly leaving his gun in a plane toilet.

Have to be honest It's hard to keep up with all the information from both parties UK and EU and friends pro and anti EU...

So for me I wait until dec. 31 2020 one minute before midnight to see if an agreement has been reached and the day after to see if there has been a hard exit.
