I'd question if he is working for some adult - that's a form of child abuse however much fake bravado . Ask him the Chloe Westley question repeatedly.

Survation are trying to explain why Theresa May's Daft EU deal may be gaining ground (supposedly it has in the last 2 weeks) https://www.survation.com/are-the-public-warmer-on-the-prime-ministers-brexit-deal-than-mps/ If there was a referendum tomorrow, with the following 3 options on the ballot paper, which would you support? first Choice second Choice Total saying first or second Remain in the EU 454 97 551 Leave no deal 296 243 539 Theresa's daft deal 222 485 707 But I say the following might get similar support first Choice second Choice Total saying first or second Remain in the EU 454 97 551 Leave no deal 296 243 539 hand in the fire 222(mad people) 485 707

Hillary Benn and a few others (Labour and Tory's) have submitted an amendment to the bill that means if Theresa May loses the vote then Parliament will direct things from here on in and a no deal is off the cards. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-46398167 'The BBC's Laura Kuenssberg says it supports what "some in Number 10 suspect - that is vote falls, Parliament essentially takes over from the executive".' Parliament is giving out little signals "Trust us - No Deal will not happen"

The EU in 2021 will be bringing in a waiver system rather like the US ESTA - They're calling it ETIAS. https://www.etiasvisa.com/ The US is quite harsh (nobody with a single drugs conviction for instance is allowed in the US), I'm not sure what the requirements to enter the EU would be - except in typical EU fashion - you will need a passport and a debit or credit card (that will hit some) We shared our databases with the EU remember too :).

Depends what you call leave - you may call her deal not leave - but I don's see it as remain. Remain for me is UK as a member of the Council of Ministers and having MEPs in the European Parliament. That means her deal is Limbo

This bullying case is disturbing and I've rarely seen a story move through twitter so fast (and it's not just in the UK). Who to blame though, boys, parents, media coverage, Theresa May. I've a feeling of something wrong here. https://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/huge-outpouring-of-support-for-syrian-refugee-boy-in-waterboarding-bullying-attack-a4002176.html

Many people are only a few missing pay checks from that. The boxes for food banks at work are full at the moment - it's only essentials for personal hygiene, tins, dried food etc not luxuries.

It's ID theft I'd worry about with Bank Statements and Utility Statements missing

According to Joanna Cherry QC MP (@joannacherry) the UK government at the European Court (#cjeu) has refused to put forward reasons why Article 50 cannot be revoked - leaving the question of whether it can be revoked unilaterally or unanimously (EU27). Of course the court can still decide it can't be revoked - but no arguments put forward.

Did read today on Nick boles twitter that the EFTA/EEA option could mean Norway blocking us from joining in a temporary capacity and therefore we'd need to sign up permanently. https://twitter.com/NickBoles/status/1066979794737348608

Day 1 of Theresa Mays mission impossible. @peston This is becoming cruel. Every part of the commons dumping manure on @theresa_may for allegedly driving wedge between NI and GB, for locking UK into customs union, for NOT locking UK into customs union, for being a "blind brexit", for being too transparently a surrender to EU etc.

Deja Vue But now the SNP, the Lib Dems, the Green Party and Plaid Cymru say they should also be invited to discuss the withdrawal agreement.

Has anybody got any spare liquefied chlorine, sodium silicofluoride, aluminium sulphate, fluorosilicic acid and calcium hydroxide. If so Gove wants a word. https://www.standard.co.uk/news/politics/nodeal-brexit-could-lead-to-clean-drinking-water-shortage-a3999491.html

May challenges and Corbyn agrees to live TV debate https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/brexit-live-latest-update-theresa-may-deal-vote-parliament-commons-jeremy-corbyn-debate-a8651661.html Shes also wandering around the houses of parliament giving away things if anybody votes for her (if any MPs are present)

Yet I once put my card pin in wrong three times and it declined - the lady shouted "we've got one here" and I had to pay at the customer services till. Everyone thought I was the big boss of shop theft. I won't say where :)

We now seem at the phase where everyone is telling everyone else to "calm down"

If you're insured can't you ask the insurance companies if they are in contact with the police or if they make a private investigation (like our banks do). Maybe it's all done hush hush with the insurance companies to get the head villain ?

If I sold somebody something I'd be rather mortified if they said it didn't work or wasn't fit for sale. I'd probably halve the price or just give it to them. Mind you there are people who rely on that attitude to get bargains :)
