I didn't refer to Nazi Germany. And even if I did, why would you take offence?...

This is what always happens when new communities are formed, the same thing happened when the Afro-Caribbean community first rocked up. One (wo)man's gentrification is another's ghettoisation. You reek of double standards Lou...

I've lost count of the number of times Brexiters have used the veiled threat that there would be civil unrest if Brexit wasn't delivered. Whereas Remainers have demonstrated peacefully in their hundreds of thousands their opposition to Brexit and now the clear undermining of our democratic system by proroguing Parliament. We've got an unelected tinpot dictator telling Tory MPs that if they vote against No Deal they will automatically be deselected by Tory Central Office. Wake up Lou, this is how fascism creeps up, it never arrives in jackboots...

Week 4 fixtures... Saturday 3st August Southampton v Manchester United Chelsea v Sheffield United Crystal Palace v Aston Villa Leicester City v AFC Bournemouth Manchester City v Brighton & Hove Albion Newcastle United v Watford West Ham United v Norwich City Burnley v Liverpool Sunday 1st September Everton v Wolverhampton Wanderers Arsenal v Tottenham Hotspur

Just leaving this here, no prizes for guessing who said it quite recently... I would like to make it absolutely clear that I am not attracted to arcane procedures such as the prorogation of Parliament. As someone who aspires to be the PM of a democratic nation, I believe in finding consensus in the House of Commons.

That was a very important point though, had the referendum not been advisory it would have been anulled due to the Leave campaign breaking electoral spending rules. The Electoral Commission's hands were tied precisely because it was ''only advisory''. > Sadly shows how toxic this entire debate has > become... Very true, but this has been the doing of the Leave side from the word go. When we needed a Gov to try and unify the country behind a version of Brexit that reflected the closeness of the vote, which a lot of Remainers would've accepted at the time, we instead got May's red lines and the voice of Remain ignored and replaced with insults such as 'citizen's of nowhere', 'queue jumpers', 'enemies of the people' and so on. Now Johnson, despite promising to do the opposite, has managed to divide the country even more. Whatever the outcome it will take a very long time to heal this disunited kingdom, what's left of it...

True dat Cat. Doesn't detract from the usual sniping comments from the usual suspects though...

This is quite the statement from the Speaker, only good news for the Rebel Alliance. Speaker John Bercow: ?I have had no contact from the Government, but if the reports that it is seeking to prorogue Parliament are confirmed, this move represents a constitutional outrage.? Hope they stick to the legislative route in Sept, if it looks like failing due to time constraints they can always press the nuclear VONC later...

I'm guessing Corbyn's cross party meeting yesterday deciding to go down the legislative route to stop No Deal rather than the oft presumed VONC route straight after recess, spooked Johnson's junta into action. They want a VONC so they can play the People v MPs election card if they lose it. By proroguing parliament for 5 weeks it severely limits the time to get legislation through before the next recess and not enough time after the Queen's Speech. However, they may have hit the prorogue button in haste according to this tweet... Proroguing now would be a bit futile, since under s3 of the Northern Ireland Executive Formation Act 2019, if Parliament is prorogued by 4 September then it must be recalled within 5 days, for 5 days. Even without my Remainy McRemain hat on, I would always back Grieve to outsmart Cummings when it comes to parliamentary procedure in the battle of the Doms...

The one that gets me is when people answer a question with ''Yeah, I mean...''. Beckham used it a lot, now gone mainstream...

Wow, this is HUGE... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-49493632

Let's suppose they did change the headline slogan, cue calls from the usual suspects* that they don't know what they want, no consistency in message etc etc etc... *Thanks Cat, I've now got all 4 corners in this month's Brexit Bingo card...

Best to keep doors and windows closed with blinds/curtains shut when it's hot, otherwise you're just letting in warm air and heating up the room. However, if you have sash windows open them equally a few inches top and bottom and it will keep the room cooler, all to do with physics and equalised pressure...

La Ciotat SE of Marseille is worth checking out, nice port and beaches, some very secluded. If you are of a nervous disposition avoid the 'libertines' beaches of Cap d'Agde...:)

Strange week for scoring, first six games zilcho and heading for a 'maxxi', then 3 out of 4 correct scores. Week 3 points... Week 3 table...

That's just it Lou, they're not the 'usual suspects', the silent majority are rising!...
