  1. Seeing him hugging John Carew at the final whistle was entertaining, and he certainly looked as if he was going through the emotional wringer in the last few minutes.

  3. Perhaps not :- https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-48384000 https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/may/25/eu-citizens-denied-vote-in-european-elections-to-sue-uk-government
  4. Didn't Gove, whilst education secretary, want "all children" to be "above average".
  5. Corbyn used to frequently vote against the party when Bliar was PM.
  6. Which might become interesting should we reach the October deadline - how does this position actually prevent the UK ceasing to be a member of the EU, as per the A50 submission. Have the EU taken 'no deal' off the table as well ? I don't think they would allow a further extension of A50.
  7. Not a chance. In a GE most of his support will return to supporting their appropriate be-ribboned donkey.
  8. Drivers turning right from a side road or driveway, who nudge out into their nearside lane, forcing traffic from their right to stop whilst they try to bully their way into the stream of traffic they seek to join.
  9. How does that automatically follow ? Are you assuming that a 2nd Brexit vote would reinforce the result of the first one ?
  10. Other than their eponymous title, what exactly are the Brexit party's policies ?
  11. Glad for you, the completely predictable result of a vote that should never have taken place. And it lumps you in with Rupert Lowe, yay !
  12. On one side you had the Brexit party, a single issue protest vote hoover. On the other you had a group of parties, including the Greens and the LDs whose core vote stayed loyal, and who split those voters opting for a Remain choice. They thereby spread the anti-Brexit sentiment between them. Labour, and especially the Tories, were always going to have a 'mare. If it had been reduced to 2 options, Brexit Party or Remain Party, it might have produced a more interesting outcome. Still waiting for Scotland and NI.
  13. But you don't explain why you feel these things are 'stupid'. If there is a possibility to persuade people that veganism is a sound and appropriate lifestyle change, then there must be persuasive and informed information and evidence to support it. Biologically humans are omnivores, this is an indisputable fact based on our physiology.
  14. I suppose it depends on whether she actually read the NAO report in question. The first line of the report body says "We think that there is no practical alternative to continuing with Universal Credit.", which McVey reported to Parliament as saying that the roll-out should "continue at a faster rate and to be speeded up.". The NAO report https://www.nao.org.uk/report/rolling-out-universal-credit/ Mcvey's 'correction' in her statement to the House https://www.gov.uk/government/speeches/universal-credit-and-national-audit-office-report
  15. Somebody with form for blatantly lying to Parliament. Mind you
  16. Death by blue rinse and Zimmer frame.
  17. Perhaps because the post of Leader of the Conservative Party is still, in his eyes, the poisoned chalice it was at the last leadership vote. Trying to unite the 2 wings has never been easy, but at the moment it may, to him, appear to be an impossible ask, given the total mess that currently exists within Westminster, courtesy of the Maybot's disastrous tenure.
  18. If meat wasn't supposed to be a part of the human diet, why do we have canine teeth and the metabolic chemical processes to digest it ? One question I have for vegans is; if the entire country was to switch to such a diet, would that mean the immediate culling of all cows, pigs, hens, etc, as they would no longer have an economic purpose. ( So much for animal rights ).
  19. Remember, 80% of things that Rory Stewart says are made up on the spur of the moment. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-politics-46225696/rory-stewart-apologises-after-making-up-brexit-stat
  20. Somerset finding it far too easy in the early overs.
  21. 244 at least gives us something to defend, thanks to Fuller. Need the bowlers to put them under pressure early.
  22. My grandson Cycling Walking my dogs on the beach Cycling Picking fruit from my garden ( especially the grapes, with which we make wine, and the apples, a lot of which are used for cider ) Cycling One particular day at work when a Mercedes SLK was pulled over outside our office and impounded for being untaxed and uninsured.
  23. I loved the slip on R5 by the Tory backbencher, when asked about the possible new leaders he blurted "Oh God, not Gove", before continuing with " Ahh, that didn't sound good, did it ?"
  24. To quote Malcolm Tucker "Come on, this is ****ing history in the making, right, this is the ending of a chapter of a very thin book that nobody enjoyed reading."
