Oh but yes, most of the perpetrators of serious, including terrorist, crimes these last few years should have been behind bars. Even then they're still a menace, one took his chance of a couple of days in a "family unit" to stab a few warders. Unluckily for him the GIGN shot dead his missus who helped him do it.

So it's basically the same as in France then. Repetitive criminals walking the streets and being, well criminals because of a laxist judicial system. "Sorry your honour, I won't do it again promise". "Well that's alright then, off you go, let us know if you need more handouts".

Aha. The Boss is going to sort it out, I expect the BBC will soon catch up.

No, parliament can vote to overide the Speaker's decision I believe. If May has the votes to pass her deal then she has the votes to overide the Speaker.

I see that the Dutch have found some sort of document in the suspect's vehicle that seem to point to a terrorist motive.

The name will always find it's way to the surface.

Bercow's bit of publicity seeking will probably have no effect whatsoever. If the government have the votes for the decision they are seeking, then the motion will be brought before parliament. If they don't then Bercow's action suits them down to the ground.

And exactly what does that change ?

A condition that no self respecting nation could ever accept. Mind you the Irish caved in over abortion when then EU threatened to turn off the money tap if they didn't. Then again it's the Irish.

But in this case Mama is wrong. The longer it takes the more likely it becomes that it won't happen at all. The Hard Brexiters had their chance, they got picky and now it's highly likely that Brexit just won't happen. Johnson and his ilk have shafted themselves. The remainers will have won what they lost in the referendum, which was always their goal.

But the Italians aren't having any truck with that. It's more likely to be Lithuania or Estonia who are just hacked off with the whole affair and want it over and done with.

Hey, there's cricket on Thursday and Friday of this week. More early next week as well. Hope it doesn't get weathered off like last year.

Provided none of the other 27 nations decides to veto that for some reason known to themselves.

Chelsea eventually paid the price for their airy-fairy, give it to Hazard attitude in the first half. If they'd have scored when they had a fair few good chances Everton would probably not have ramped it up in the second half. Anyway Sarri needs sacking, his systems will never, ever bring success in the Premier League. Kanté is probably the world's best number 6 but Sarri insists on playing Jorghino there with Kanté in a number 8 role.

3 already did I believe. Can't remember the exact details but I expect they were representing big leave constituencies.

Depends, yesterday there were 242 for and 75 conservatives against . 633 total votants. Must have been 17 abstentionists or non- presents then. So if the 75 conservative againsters voted for and everything else remained the same that would give 317 of 633, ie a majority. Think there was at least 1 conservative absentee for personal reason so if the rebels all came into line the government could win without the DUP.

They all need to be tried where they were captured or surrendered by whatever judicial authority exists there. Fair trial, fair defence and take whatever punishment those tribunals demand.

Why would smoke be coming from the rear of any plane though, the engines are towards the front. If there really was smoke and a strange noise then it wouldn't at all surprise me if it's a terrorist jobby with all those diplomats on board. Then again sitings of MH370 were about everywhere.

Well then they're just idiots. They just need to ask any expat who has residual income from the UK, let alone those who retired to Spain and Portugal with no local income whatsoever. I know a few, they're nigh on 20% down now. Some have even had to get loans from their kids instead of the usual vice-versa.

Agreed but the hard Brexiteers just don't seem to be able to grasp this off the bat. I have no idea what they're expecting to happen from tomorrow onwards. There are about what 80-90 of them and they need 325 or so for a majority in the Commons. Brexit just won't happen, which kind of suits me although I'm pretty hacked off about all the money I've lost due to the fall in Sterling.

Well as expected the deal will be voted down his evening. Myself I don't really see the difference in being "trapped" in the EU by the Irish Backstop or being trapped in the EU for want of a majority to leave in the Commons because that's what it's going to come down to in the end. So 3 years and god knows how much money wasted on nothing whatsoever. In the words of Hotel California, you can check out any time you want but you can never leave.

Jingoistic tub thumping. This is how it will go: This evenings vote will reject the deal on offer. Tomorrow's will vote against a no-deal Brexit. After that there will be a short delay voted which will bring about absolutely nothing. Then there will be another referendum which will go the way of Remain or a General Election. In either case the result will be the same and Brexit Leave voters will have been shafted by Northern Ireland.

Close the thread...you ain't leaving.

So according to Barnier, The UK can leave the Customs Union unilaterally but Northern Ireland remains a bit of a problem. Get those vote calculators out then.
