We should change our ballot papers to the usual suspects with the additional new box "EU".

So, if no one feels like voting in one of the contenders (and who does?), then we have the option to vote for the EU.


If nothing else, it might increase the skills/ talents of our wannabe MP/ PMs - which is currently embarrassing and shameful.

"May says there is an EU council meeting, and further discussions to be held. The date of the vote will be announced in the normal way. There has been a meaningful vote. It was in 2016. And if Corbyn wants a meaningful date, she will give him one - 29 March, when the UK will leave."


She still tried to wind up remainers - that's why she'll never have my support.

So much for recent platitudes about reaching out to Remainers. I'm not sure it makes much difference whether she stays or goes, the bottom line is there's a WA that isn't going to pass thru Parly or be renegotiated on. One way or the other, the road she has been consistently kicking the can down, will run out...

She'll come back to the commons sometime before January 21st unless she can wheedle out of it.


She won't have a deal but she will have changed the words around on the current one or added a codicil


At some point Corbyn may call a vote of no confidence - if he wins there's 14 days of chaos - so the DUP could support him then renege to cause more trouble.

There's uncertainty whether this date is a political or legal deadline, if it's not the latter, then May could stall it again to get closer to the March exit date, which is a legal deadline, thus giving her leverage to force through her deal at the last minute under the threat of no deal...https://twitter.com/IanDunt/status/1073169547753127937

Well that was the worst meeting between May and the EU yet.


They were going to add in some kind of sweetener promise but it got overruled and the EU commission has officially rated Theresa May's performance as bad (well someone has to).


It's also been confirmed that UK citizens will have to undergo ETIAS procedures to enter the EU from 2021 (papers seeing this as a ?7 charge - but I see it more as what restrictions will be implemented - will some people not even be allowed to travel to the EU).

She spoke in the debate on the legal advice being released and accused the Attorney General of contempt. She's had plenty to say on Twitter. Just because she's not being reported much in the media, don't assume she's completely silent (I'm not a great cheerleader for her, particularly, but fair's fair).

"In recent days, Lineker has pitted himself against fellow members of the 1986 World Cup squad after the former goalkeeper Peter Shilton expressed his support for pro-Brexit Conservative MP Jacob Rees-Mogg and the forward Chris Waddle endorsed a no-deal exit."


When it gets to ex England stars fighting you have to wonder.

The stupid woman thing is just more time wasting - it's upsetting some people it seems as we're discussing corbyn when we should be discussing how to avoid no deal.


The people outside parliament are the radical right wingers - they managed to call Kay Burley a "slag" and Faisal Islam a "Rapist".

Indeed, but they are morons from goodness knows where - JC is the leader of the opposition and a sitting MP, so if he uses inappropriate language he should be held more to account. The morons are not asking people to vote for them - Corbyn is. That said, based on his recent performance (or lack thereof) it almost seems like he doesn't fancy being in power!

Before his untimely death and his starring role with comedy duo Badiel and Skinner, Jeff Astle was one of the leading scorers in the old Division 1 (golden boot in 1970). He asked a referee once what would happen if he called him a 'b'. "why I'd send you off Mr Astle". What would happen if I thought you were a 'b'? "Well Mr Astle you can think whatever you like". "I think you a 'b', referee". Got to laugh or else you will cry. Others can 'try' Corbyn.

Just leaving this here, courtesy of Santa Corbyn, delivered under the radar of the festive break.

Perhaps Labour supporting Remainers will now finally wake up to what Corbyn has always wanted...https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2018/dec/22/remainers-condemn-jeremy-corbyn-pledge-to-push-on-with-brexit

Yep, total last straw for me. I really, really wanted to believe in him, but no. Now what?


Oh well, here's my Christmas card for this year, and heaven help us all xxx

      Tessa Jowell centre car park.

      By Eats Dulwich · Posted

      I doubt if it was something special - it has been full a few times I've been recently and when I have been able to get a space I've been lucky and bagged the only one available. I think there are only around 15 general spaces. Others are for staff, blue badge holders or EVs. I guess in winter people are more likely to drive, it wouldn't take much to fill all the spaces with the different things going on at the surgery/pharmacy such as blood tests, picking up prescriptions. It's possible a lot of the cars are in and out in 15 mins, i've not monitored it closely. This morning with all spaces filled when I arrived there were a couple of cars loitering in the hope of a space becoming available. I didn't want to risk it. As has been said, you can drive in and out and be caught on camera and not get a ticket but I'm not sure what the grace period is, if there is one.  Like you, I don't think a significant number of people are parking there to go shopping - it's too far from Lordship Lane as I found out this morning when i had to run from LL to Tessa Jowell! i guess the car parking spaces just can't cope with the number of legit drivers using Tessa Jowell and if that's the case not a lot can be done about it.

      I go there quite regularly (don't ask), on my own behalf and as a chauffeur for family. I have never noted people parking up, going in and then straight out again once registered. Some times of day (and some days) are much busier than others, as you might expect, especially during winter vaccination season.

      There are a lot of car parking spaces - in order for them to all be filled, it would suggest a local event rather than unrelated shoppers. Does the surgery have records of when the it's full? presume there is some sort of management of it. Perhaps there is a correlation to local activity or a pattern.
