Hi Johnie. Good thinking - but I suspect that using the tracking site might still cause problems. I'm no expert on this, but I read that it makes complex requests of the parliamentary servers, thus putting a load on the petition site that it can't handle. Alex Andreou has said he'll give hourly updates on twitter - so I'm using that as my source of info now.

I can't remember when I have had more fun, probably watching the score on teletext of a relegation battle in the 00s. It's 0-0. It's still 0-0. Or that coverage of the blinking competition on that satirical cartoon series again in the 00s.


Anyway to be serious this is exciting and some light relief, it was 500 under a million a minute ago and is taking yonks to reboot. Damn, missed it, now 1,000,250, BTW.

You feeling better now then Foxy?


I'm glad - but probably best if you didn't jump straight back to infantile "remainer cry-baby" type insults. You never know when someone will take exception at an inconvenient time. For example, someone might start getting cross with you just as you are taken ill again.

The petition won't do anything on it's own, it has to be taken in conjunction with other things.


I still have a suspicion we may have to go through a no deal for at least a while before we know the effects (starting next Friday). Ireland has had ships bringing supplies into Dublin for months I hear - we're going to wing it.

    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.   Stuff like this heavy endorsement of Momentum and Corbyn. It doesn't wash with a party that is in actual government.   https://labourlist.org/2020/04/forward-momentum-weve-launched-to-change-it-from-the-bottom-up/
    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls. 
    • There used to be a better baker than Gail's on the same site immediately before Gail's pulled their financial muscle.
