  1. So anyway your "fine Turkish lad" is being charged with Terrorist Homicides". Looks to have been a bit costly for Rutte, lost his majority in the Senate hasn't he?
  2. I see that someone has been smashing windows and stuff in Birmigham mosques. Police say that they are "unsure" of the motives. Must have a fair old idea though right ? Aren't there problems with LGBT teaching around Birmingham just now? Opposed by? This will not end well.
  3. 7+ years in prison is a long time. Mind you they probably made a fair bit of money out of it.
  4. But as we saw on a fair few occasions last season, if you haven't got solid openers everything else is fragilised.
  5. The "Yellow Vests" as the UK populace know them started as a Facebook Group against an upcoming fuel tax hike for supposedly ecological reasons. It was quickly infested by the politicised few and anarchists from here, there and everywhere until you have today's movement with the army on the streets to supposedly protect public buildings because the police and gendarmerie just can't cope any more. Public opinion is a powder keg, just needs a spark to set it off.
  6. That really isn't going to happen. There will be riots in the streets if bully EU gets it's way. As you know I live in France and here just now we are seeing the results of people having the impression that they're not being listened to, and take my word for it, it is ugly, every bloody week-end for over 3 months now. The British public voted to leave the EU by a nigh on 4% margin, that needs to happen now, some may not like it but denying the will of the people will end in serious revolt.
  7. Ah there I couldn't say. Aren't there less Scottish Nationalists in this Parliament than in the previos one? There used to be 54 out of 59 seats but I think they're down to about 35 now. Mind you there are a lot of Independants who's attachments I know little about.
  8. Well apparently the Lion aircraft had the same problems on the previous day but there was an off duty pilot with them who knew (or figured out) what to do. Then nothing was done about it afterwards.
  9. Ah the wonders of the "do-over" generation. The UK needs to respect the result of the referendum and that should be final.
  10. Thanks for those explanations. So what are we saying here in layman's terms? That if you know what you're doing you can re-obtain control by overiding the system is that it?
  11. So once again an iffy situation with our projected overseas player. I know that last season Amla eventually turned up but he didn't seem to be all that interested and swanned off early. Karunaratne played in a representaive game today I think. Made 20 not out. I looked up some old season start dates yesterday and it seems to me that the County Cricket season is starting earlier and earlier. Used to be mid-end of April'ish I think.
  12. They're still hoping for something a little bit more in their favour I believe. They might even get it as well, won't be much but Merkel is going to intervene with whatever is possible and necessary to avoid a no-deal.
  13. 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.
  14. 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".
  15. Aha. The Boss is going to sort it out, I expect the BBC will soon catch up.
  16. 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.
  17. I see that the Dutch have found some sort of document in the suspect's vehicle that seem to point to a terrorist motive.
  18. The name will always find it's way to the surface.
  19. 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.
  20. And exactly what does that change ?
  21. 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.
  22. 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.
  23. 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.
  24. 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.
  25. Provided none of the other 27 nations decides to veto that for some reason known to themselves.
