Suspiciously emotive choice, given that WWI ended at 11AM and Britain's ultimatum to Germany in 1939 ran out at 11AM. They must be aware of the resonance of such times, but what it's intended to signal who knows?

1. 11 o'clock at night in London amounts to midnight in Brussels.


2. I can only think of two reasons why May is making law what she intends to do anyway. The first is that she's not planning to be around by then and wants to leave an undeletable chunk of stupidity for her disloyal partners. A bit like revenge-porn.


The second is that it's been done before, in the Referendum Bill of 2013, when the Tories wrote the pledge to hold a referendum into law because, then as now, they weren't exactly in power and were perennially terrified that their venal plans to hold the country hostage for the convenience of their vile paymasters could be easily overturned by anything approaching democracy. Happily for them, we still have first-past-the-post, and most still vote for useful idiots, based solely on the colour of their badge.

Clever Brits, timed so as to coincide with the witching hour in Brussels when creatures such as witches, demons, ghosts, gremlins, Juncker and Barnier are abroad

Personally I prefer the counter to "Remoaners" - "Brexshitters." Oh why don't we all grow up and stop name calling etc etc - just to save anyone else the trouble...

Anyway nice take off of the John Lewis ad sees Boris under Theresa's bed and a present that falls apart.

Theresa May gets to live another few weeks as PM - It's premier league manager stuff :)



I assume this deal will be either (1) Take the deal or (2) Exit with no deal


We now want to make sure it becomes more like (1) Take the deal (2) go back and re-negotiate (3) Remain (4) Exit with no deal

Yes I think - but all David Davis has said today is the bill will be put forward for a binding vote by parliament and if it fails the bill will not go through (that's the entire repeal act - so no EU laws will be copied across to UK - for me that would be chaotic)).


Surely at that point the government would fall. So is this a confidence motion in effect ?

      Tesla at Belair House

      By mlteenie · Posted

      Well, well, well! Pretty disappointing and tacky. I have some sympathy for Tesla owners but although he has shown his colours now, Elon was always a tosser.  I have always been sad and frustrated by Belair House, and I wish someone could get a grip and market it successfully as a good redto and bar. As the earlier comment said it is a beautiful building in a great location, albeit a bit shabby here and there. Over the years we have eaten and had drinks there but the last time was about 5 years ago and we haven't been back since after a cockroach crawled up my arm as I waited at the bar for my pint...

      Anyone child lost Small purple teddy

      By NewWave · Posted

      No they were created by a Hong Kong artist and became a craze when a K-Pop girl band became associated with them. They do limited editions and they've become a collectors item (Like Jelicat for adults)- I'm a bit ashamed that at 65 years old I know so much about them but they are very much a fashionable item. And I'm always interested in Popular Culture. Whover lost it must be gutted because I understand that when you buy one (they're boxed) you never know which one or what colour you'll get...so if the owner loved that one it may be very difficult to replace.
