The Department for Education guidance contains " worst case" scenarios that include a lack of food for school dinners due to panic buying and price hikes post October 31st.

Now that is where Brexiteers hold the advantage, as we would almost certainly have to join as a new member state, and consequently demonstrate "the ability to take on and implement effectively the obligations of membership, including adherence to the aims of political, economic and monetary union".

The current Parliamentary session was intended to run until Brexit had been "delivered", and was initially slated to run until July 25th 2019, and return for a new session on 3rd September 2019. Ironically, now that BoJo has requested prorogation, all the Brexit related bills currently being processed will now be suspended and have to be restarted in the new session.

Blackpool had their own version of a financial meltdown with the Oyston's creaming off the money that the club didn't spend on players, including a fair chunk of the parachute payments. During their one season in the Premier League the club, "owned" by Karl Oyston, paid a company owned by his father Owen, who was barred from owning any football club, 11 million pounds.

If the Scots get independence, would the Welsh try to follow suit ? So much for the Conservative and Unionist party.

You have to take account of the effect that Scotland's IndeyRef2 would have on the numbers, plus the potential for NI moving politically closer to Eire. As the thread title suggests, BoJo may well be presiding over the 'Death of the United Kingdom'.

If ever a post required a childish put down, it is this one. However, I cannot lower myself to your level in order to deliver it.

If you believe we will leave an open border, you are deluded.

What an excellent way to demonstrate how we will be restoring the sovereignty of Parliament. ( And point 'd' in Whitey's post above is probably the single most important issue in considering the economic cost of Brexit ).

Have to admit this is a finesse of the highest order, and shows up the disastrous approach and tactics of the opposition, who have been more obsessed with fighting each other than presenting a united front, and should have seen this coming. Looks like "no-deal" is coming, Cassandra is going to find out how accurate her prophesies will prove to be.

Who ? ;-)

What's the point in having a first strike capability if you are not willing to use it ?

The thread title says it all. ( Thank goodness for a very poor umpiring decision, and a very poor Australian review in the over before it ).

Regarding the test series, I wonder if SpecSavers will be rethinking their sponsorship given the appalling quality of the umpiring.

That referendum was a farce, as PR was never offered as an option, as you well know.

So, less than a third of the votes cast results in a significant overall majority. FPTP is anything but democratic.

Shame really that Brexiteers ignored their warnings, dismissing them as more Project Fear.

Perhaps playing batsmen in their accustomed batting place, and permitting them to play first class matches outside tests, might help. As far as I can work out, Root has played 3 first class county innings this year, most of them have played none.

Perhaps because they knew it stood a chance of becoming the dominant point, and they lacked a reasoned solution, so it was simply swept under the carpet in the hope that nobody would notice until it was too late. Edit; BoJo said before the referendum vote that the Irish border would "remain absolutely unchanged". "There's been a free travel area between the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland for, I think, getting on for 100 years, there's no reason at all why that should cease to be the case." https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-35692452 "Theresa Villiers, then Northern Ireland secretary, said the border would “remain as free-flowing after a Brexit vote as it is today” and anyone suggesting otherwise was “scaremongering”." http://www.irishnews.com/news/2016/04/18/news/irish-border-concerns-over-brexit-scaremongering-theresa-villiers-489126/

Middx 121-4 to 128 all out, Hants easy win.

Making up contrived names for cross bred dogs, then charging pure bred prices for the puppies; it isn't a labradoodle, it's a f_cking mongrel.

A small nuisance perhaps, but GM is implying that the government and general population of Eire supported Hitler, which is pure fantasy.

If you actually read the articles you link you may find that sometimes they actually don't support your argument. That there was a degree of antipathy to returning WW1 veterans from Sinn Fein supporters in 1919 is hardly surprising, particularly as the Free State was about to embark on a bloody civil war, and as your article indicates a large number of the veterans actually joined the Republican militants ( And yet again I have to remind you that during WW1 Ireland was part of the UK, not an independent entity, and it remained a dominion until 1938 ).

Where is the support for the Germans, either in manpower, access to facilities and airspace, or intelligence, that balances that given to the UK ?

Obviously fake news.
