  2. Could hear them on the SE22/SE23 border last night.
  3. Try MKK on corner of Evelina rd, just past the road arch.
  4. Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. On roads such as Forest Hill Road, I can see delays, traffic backing up, increased pollution and of course prolonged journey times. Thanks Southwark

    Brexit View

    Seems like Boris is chancing his luck, goading the anti no deal "alliance" plus Corbyn into a possible GE, a dangerous tatic, but then Boris is not the brains behind this, I'm thinking its the grey suit Cummings who is ding all the plotting and planning. Let's see what happens from 3.30pm in Parliament, it's likely to be explosive, a bit like Guy "Guido" Fawkes on 5th November.
  11. @Number10cat Follow Follow @Number10cat More Boris Johnson has decided to get a pet dog. It?s small, irritating and moans when it doesn?t get attention. They?re calling it Gove. 12:21 PM - 1 Sep 2019

    Brexit View

    As someone who is on life time meds and which without could put me back in hospital, a couple of months ago, the pharmacy had trouble getting the meds as production had temporarily ceased, no explanation given. Fortunately as I had just had enough to cover that period. Had I not it could have been a different story. Now I don't know if it was coincidence or Brexit related, but med shortages are already with us. I believe that some fresh foods that are either produced in or comes from Europe will either go into short supply or rocket in price, unless the UK can grow or make the product here. While it may not initially be tariffs that cause prices to increase the supply and demand market will be affected which will result in price increases. Even things like fresh flowers that have already increased in price will see further increases. Leaving the EU will have consequences on probably 90% of households. It will be a case of suck it and see, one good reason to remain.
  13. The only reason this is being done is to overcome the deadlock we currently have. Just think what a laughing stock UK plc is to the rest of the world.
  14. On a lighter note

As I said previously May & Co faffed for three years, Bojo is now enacting the outcome of the referendum. If the govt failed to do this it would not be doing the job it was elected to do (although like Brown previously and May and Bojo now) whilst not elected by the electorate, a consequence of which could be to say that is undemocratic, a govt we need and have. If Corbyn and co were less left wing (almost communist with Monumentum) they may stand a better chance of winning a parliamentary cross party majority, but they're not and are unlikely to succeed. So what next, a national strike on 31st October???? I don't know. This ridiculous deadlock needs to be resolved, again I don't know how, but perhaps the dreaded GE may be one solution. HRH does as she is advised by her PM, she has already rejected an approach from Corbyn, not surprising. Even HRH has never seen anything so farcical as the present situation, can she dismiss her Govt?
  16. Use of language is important and particularly the use of terms coup noun 1. a sudden, violent, and illegal seizure of power from a government. "he was overthrown in an army coup" synonyms: seizure of power, overthrow, takeover, ousting, deposition, regime change; More 2. an instance of successfully achieving something difficult. "it was a major coup to get such a prestigious contract" synonyms: success, triumph, feat, successful manoeuvre,
  17. IMO, what we are seeing is a Bojo enacting the will of the peoples democratic vote in June 2016 to leave the EU for a range of different reasons including immigration, self government and law making which May and her ministers faffed over for nearly three years and achieved nothing. Whether the population agrees or disagrees Bojo is now actively working to take the UK out of EU (who may I add are laughing at the UK, for such an error of judgement) and which in time will be proven.I believe shutting down parliament is being done to prevent a repeat of the three failed votes May had. The remainers are unhappy and are now citing this as unconstitutional coup which it is not. Without doing this Bojo is unlikely to achieve his goal of the UK leaving the EU on 31st Oct and quite possibly without a deal. However I also think he is not that concerned about getting a deal and is playing what may be described as hardball with the EU negotiators to try and get what a possible deal. But if that is not possible the UK will exit the EU on a no deal. He took over from May to do what she failed to do. What will happen in parliament next week is unclear, if in the unlikely event a vote of no confidence is achieved by opposition parties, and I doubt it will, but if it does, I think he'll then call an election for 1st November (very short notice, again is this possible in such a short time span). The outcome will either be him winning a majority, a coalition, or something else (unknown??) The parliamentary deadlock needs to stop as otherwise the mess the UK is already in will continue and unless someone is a crystal ball reader, no one knows what will happen to the UK thereafter which in reality is a frightening thought. What is clear is the last three years can't continue, something has to give. People can continue to protest next week, the week, month and year after, I doubt it will make any difference. The parliamentarians know what a mess they've made of things so far. If in parliament they voted the way their constituencies had, we would not be in the mess we are. Because they ignore their constituencies and vote how they like, hence the problems in parliament continue.
  18. So how do you describe 1930's Germany, Hitler and the resulting catastrophe which resulted?
  19. I believe learning lessons from history is important so that they are not repeated.

  22. Have you thought that Boris is playing a double bluff with the EU, but potentially the UK could leave as the majority at the time voted to leave the EU. Next, you'll be calling for a General Strike on 31st October. Referring to Nazi Germany causes offence, do you really need to introduce that?
  23. Coup? What Coup????
  24. It happened on 23rd June 2016. Are you saying that you don't support democracy and actually want a different outcome, otherwise called another referendum ,because the result of the first referendum can't be stomached? And just remind me how much Parliament has taken notice of you so far, none.
