Businesses want to know by the new year so they can plan ahead. It's all been done arse about face. Extending the March '19 deadline would help, but up to now she's been adamant that we'll be out of the EU by then. Still, it's not like she's never changed her mind before...

"Lord Varys: But what do we have left, once we abandon the lie? Chaos? A gaping pit waiting to swallow us all.


Petyr 'Littlefinger' Baelish: Chaos isn't a pit. Chaos is a ladder. Many who try to climb it fail and never get to try again. The fall breaks them. And some, are given a chance to climb. They refuse, they cling to the realm or the gods or love. Illusions. Only the ladder is real. The climb is all there is."

Given the censorious nature of universities and no-platforming, that's a little rich.

Not sure I agree. When politicians give even the impression that they're openly tracking the academic behaviour of people who disagree with them, it sets off alarm bells.


I do agree that there are educational establishments which have blotted their copybook where the dissenting view is concerned, but politicians must hold to a higher standard (ha! I'm aware of the irony in that statement).


There's already enough polarisation in public debate, we shouldn't be adding fuel to the fire.

He knew nobody would reply.


This was just done to intimidate - which with all the "treason" talk on twitter could make some uncomfortable (I now block anybody of either side talking of treason and trials (example below) - so stupid).

What with the talk of treason and 'enemies of the people', it is totally unacceptable for a Conservative Minister to write such a letter. It is all creating a climate of fear and suspicion. When Brexit goes wrong, there will be recriminations for sure - and ironically, I suspect they'll be coming mainly from those who were pro Leave.

Fair enough! To most (if not all) of it...

The Commons Brexit Committee grillings are often far more informative and revealing than the staged pantomime of PMQs.David Davis being quizzed on Brexit this morning...


Labour?s Seema Malhotra goes next.


Q: So you want a transition agreement agreed by the end of 2018 quarter one?


Yes.


Q: And when will the withdrawal agreement be agreed?


Davis says he has not said. The Northern Ireland aspects require agreement on the future relationship too.


Q: So, is it October next year?


Davis says the agremeent, if not the signing, will the coterminous with the agreement on the forward relationship.


That is why the European council called for ?sufficient progress?, not conclusion of phase one.


Q: So it could go to March 2019?


Davis said it could be.


Q: So the vote of parliament on the deal could be after March 2019.


Yes, says Davis, that could happen.



So much for taking back control of the sovereignty of Parliament...

Davis is such an idiot - France don't really care that much - they're happy to give us the cold shoulder or a gallic shrug. We have to be pro-active not just blame France. I also suspect still does not understand IT systems and the process of implementing them - how far are we down the road of this new customs system so far ?


"Mr Davis also hinted that France ? not Britain ? would be to blame if there was no agreement and new customs arrangements were not in place.


Insisting the UK?s new customs systems would be ready for March 2019 regardless, he suggested the French were ?not investing enough ? which could cause ?backlogs in the UK?."

EU has always said that all the deal(s) need to be concluded about 6 months BEFORE Brexit so that the EU-27 parliaments can individually approve the deals. Whilst 27 EU parliaments are approving the deal then logically UK Parliament (and the Scottish Parliament and NI/Welsh Assemblies) should also approve you'd think.


But no, Davis now says negotiations will go on until March 2019 and will be no time for parliamentary approval before we leave. It's going to be exciting he says. I don't want exciting.

Parliament will have something to say about deliberately leaving an approval vote beyond the exit date. I really do think this will bring the government down some time next year. The committee stages of the repeal bill are about to begin. That one alone has 300 tabled ammendments. Government has ceased to exist. Parliament has become a processing centre for Brexit.

      Local Dietician ?

      By Sue · Posted

      Admin, please move this if it's in the wrong section. Can anybody recommend a reasonably local dietician (or possibly nutritionist? Not sure what the difference is). My GP has suggested I see a dietician, but there isn't one attached to the practice. I have googled, but it's very hard to tell what people may be like from an online description, and I want somebody who is properly qualified. Alternatively, please PM me if you know of people I should avoid! Thanks x

      Application for Londis Off-Licence next to Charter East Entrance

      By ianr · Posted

      If you look at the application linked to in the OP, you'll see it's a Licensing Act 2003 one, in this case for the purposes of sale by retail of alcohol and for the provision of late night refreshment: "TAKEAWAY COFFEE/ HOT SNACKS 2300-0100". IF the shop counts as a Hot Food Takeaway, then section P48 of the Southwark Plan https://www.southwark.gov.uk/sites/default/files/2024-09/Southwark Plan 2022 reduced 1.pdf , which appears to be the latest one linked to on Southwark's site, will I presume be applied in any  planning application (Is there one?). It says: "New hot food takeaways will only be permitted where: ..... 3. The proposed location is further than 400 metres from any existing or proposed primary or secondary school’s boundary; ....." It incorporates  policy laid down in the National Planning Policy Framework, and thence the London Plan.  Over the years KFC, and others, have taken a  number of appeals against local planning authority decisions on Takeaways to the Planning Inspectorate.  Some have been allowed.  KFCs 'commentary on evidence contained in London Plan Topic Paper: Hot Food Takeaways', https://www.london.gov.uk/sites/default/files/nlp_ad_91.pdf may be of interest to some. I'm guessing it's referring to https://www.london.gov.uk/sites/default/files/london_plan_topic_paper_on_hot_food_takeaways.pdf of 2018, but haven't yet checked.
