Anyway Theresa May now finds herself in the vanguard through no fault of her own, or as the Standard says at the end of it's opinion page "Above all, the liberal world is willing Mrs May and Mr Johnson to punch back. Stick with the patient work of a year, or respond to the demands of the day? Welcome to Trump?s world." https://www.standard.co.uk/comment/comment/evening-standard-comment-mrs-may-now-finds-it-hard-in-trump-world-a3706131.html

Hear a lot about Seitan too these days https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2017/sep/05/hail-seitan-how-vegan-food-got-downndirty

Theresa May should respond by making Britain First a proscribed organisation I think. The last MP to call for this got death threats http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/louise-haighs-britain-first-terror-ban-call-leads-to-mp-receiving-death-threats_uk_585269a6e4b0b725bacf8904

Please don't support these people https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Britain_First

The commons kicking off over Trump - it's like they're all looking for someone to blame. "The urgent question triggered vitriolic criticism of a US President never before heard in the House of Commons. Mr Trump was branded ?fascist? and ?stupid?, accused of spreading ?evil? and of being ?racist or incompetent or ignorant or all three? ? some of the strongest attacks coming from Conservatives." They even suggested he should delete his account. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/amber-rudd-donald-trump-britain-first-twitter-islamophobic-us-relations-racist-video-a8084241.html

I'm feeling more optimistic it will (not got any reason to though so it's blind optimism)

It says "Under Offer" so someone seems willing to pay ?1m

Trump now rebuking "@theresamay" with her 6 followers. "Instead of tweeting to the Prime Minister, he sent his riposte to a Theresa May Scrivener, 41, who reportedly lives in a flat near the Bognor seafront." It's like something from Brass Eye.

To me he's more dangerous than Trump (that's a personal opinion) - Even Trump joked that Mike Pence's position on gay rights is to 'hang them all'. http://www.theoccidentalweekly.com/opinions/2017/11/28/president-pence-end-lgbtq-rights/2890776

Being over 50 I take my age off everything now - and remove some of the telling stuff - luckily I'm still in an "in demand" area. You hope that by the time you show up to a face to face interview you've bypassed the ageism

By 'starter jobs' I meant something that would help them off the street too ( a sort of package - maybe I'm living in cloud cuckoo land). Certainly hasn't happened for the guy I see begging.

He's getting crazier - I actually fear he's going to do something stupid (and that's worse than re-tweeting Britain First) Didn't congratulate Prince Harry either and you suspect the reason why (and it's not because he believes the Royals are privileged and wants social change).

How do you help people .. and by that I mean permanently, what are their options for help. There's a boy I've seen on the streets begging (first in Peckham then in Waterloo) for 5 years - someone had given him a bit of a beating too the last time I saw him (he claimed for no reason - but maybe he was pestering for money). Is there no "starter jobs" that can help people off the streets ? Down in Brighton (it's warmer maybe) there are loads of people on the streets - they all seem to have their own patch.

If it's non urgent I'll just report it online and not expect a response - if it's certain crimes you do need a crime number and that's all the police expect you want. I don't expect an individual investigation but if a higher level team is investigating I'd expect it to be added to their list (as it were).

Go with "1111"s and "15"s over your shirt but it maybe a bit geeky.

and one final quote (today there have been some good ones) "Iain Duncan Smith, the Tory Brexiter, asks if the passing of a new motion would negate any charge of contempt against David Davis. Bercow says that is a hypothetical question." Would then the passing of a new referendum negate Brexit ?

and Ken Clarke as usual gets to the core issue "Ken Clarke, the pro-European, says this issue arose because the government decided not to vote against Labour motions. As a result the Commons is passing motions criticising the government. The Commons is being reduced to a debating chamber, he says. Parliamentary accountability has been reduced. What can be done to get back to the situation where the government is accountable to the Commons?"

Davis is wiggling like a fish caught on a line - he still might get away though. "Sir Keir Starmer is raising a point of order. He says MPs expected the papers to be handed over unedited. He asks Bercow for his guidance as to whether or not the government has complied with the motion. If it hasn?t, is that a contempt of the House? And what should happen next? The SNP?s Pete Wishart says he has already written to Bercow suggesting there has been a contempt of parliament. He asks Bercow to respond. ?This is contempt and the government must be held accountable for its failure to comply,? he says. Marcus Fysh, a Conservative, says on page 201 of Erskine May it says ministers do not have to disclose all information when required to. John Bercow dismisses Fysh?s comment, saying he is familiar with the precedent." https://www.theguardian.com/politics/blog/live/2017/nov/28/priti-patel-condemns-mays-brexit-strategy-and-says-eu-should-be-told-to-sod-off-over-money-politics-live
