  1. LOL just voted and there's two types of voters in this poll (by survey monkey not the NHS )- those who voted by changing the numbers and those who dragged and dropped :) which are you ?
  2. Wales name full strength team for warm up game with England at Twickenham on Sunday. https://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/rugby/rugby-news/england-v-wales-team-announcement-16724246 Wales could also be World Number 1 ranked by Sunday morning if the All Blacks lose to Australia on Saturday. Could be one of the shortest stays at Number 1 ever though :)

    Looks like GDP fell in the 2nd quarter as stockpiles were used up - I'd expect growth in the 3rd quarter as everybody's stockpiling again. Chaos, this is no way to run a country :(

    Even if Johnson gets no deal, gets an election quick enough after no deal that the reality hasn't sunk in yet and neutralises nigel farage. He still may not win as brexit might be seen to be over and his job done - Atlee won in 1946

    I notice Dominic Cummings is the big bad guy now. The buck still stops with Mr Johnson however - we won't forget that.
  7. "The Moody Health Centre" has a ring to it and I'd never heard of him until I saw that but as I'm in Peckham Rye and am registered at Melbourne Grove and guess I'll still be in the catchment area I'll vote for 'South Southwark Health Centre' But I'll go with the majority vote :)

If the anti-no dealers in parliament could unite they could get behind a caretaker PM with no ambition to be permanent PM (Harriet Harman, Ken Clarke etc) and form a temporary unity government after a vote of no confidence in September. Can't really see Corbyn allowing it.
  10. Spin didn't look good to me either. That 4th day was a killer.

It's not just the door - I live in similar type of flat and my doors pretty solid. I found out a few years ago that the frame was attached to the build structure with only half the number of bolts required and a shoulder charge would take the frame out.

    "Boris Johnson has been threatened with civil unrest, including tractors blocking roads, by Welsh sheep farmers angered by the Prime Minister?s move towards a no-deal Brexit." But don't worry "WELSH farmers concerned over extensive tariffs imposed on their products in the event of a no deal Brexit scenario have been reassured by Welsh Secretary Alun Cairns that new markets, such as Japan's, will be crucial - allowing their businesses to flourish post-Brexit."

    Boris went out the back door in Edinburgh to avoid the boos. Wales today :)
  17. Everybody that regresses has a really exciting life (my mother told me she was a Persian warrior or some such). Bet I'd end up being a peasant eating turnips and getting drunk on cheap mead.

You've missed the additional bit that it has to be done in "good faith" (which was actually added by the advocate general) "In his opinion, advocate general Manuel Campos S?nchez-Bordona set out an additional condition that he said the UK should have to satisfy if it were to decide to revoke Brexit unilaterally. He said the UK would need to observe the principles of "good faith and sincere cooperation" when exercising the option to reverse Brexit. That condition is not specified in the CJEU's ruling, however."

Maybe he was on the "vulnerable" list. This was one of the categories they seemed to be looking for when scanning faces in Cardiff.
  22. Oh and they're colluding .... Boris: I (with your help) will make Britain the Greatest country in the world to live in. Trump: England is a part of the United Kingdom (no way did he know that himself)
  23. Boris today was about spending and lots of it (the old magic money tree has flowered again) - he also seems to have a "tell" of putting his head in his hands and clutching his hair. One right wing statement about locking up habitual criminals for much longer.

    Boris in front of Stephenson's Rocket going on about spending on this, that and the other, probably electioneering. Remainers are apparently akin to the naysayers who said the engine was going too fast. Sounded very Keynesian to me - as if he is going to borrow and "go for growth".
  25. Ironically sounds like trash talking to me and nothing he says has any real value My reply to all these people is basically "you what".
