Let's make a deal, I'll condemn any Remainers claiming all Brexiteers are 'racists' if you reciprocate for any of 'you lot' calling Remainers 'traitors'.

There will be a bloody riot if somebody tries to make me watch that !

Do you want 'mock' outrage. or would you prefer the genuine article ? The bile and disgraceful tone of our politics, currently, merely encourages the nutters who watch MPs on live TV, snarling and hurling invective, and inciting violent responses by using terms such as 'traitor' and 'Surrender Act'. It doesn't matter which side they are on, and makes we worry about whether we can ever heal the divide that has been exposed in popular opinion. ( Nice bit of digging to find a year old story, )

"The Army and police are investigating after a soldier sent an offensive tweet to Labour MP Angela Rayner. The soldier's Twitter account - which has now been deleted - posted a message swearing at Ms Rayner and saying she "will perish when civil war comes"." "In the tweet, the soldier said: "17.4 million people are gunning for blood if we don't leave"." https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-49855613

Why did BoJo not stand for the Tory leadership in 2016 ? Who elected Teresa May as leader, rather than a Eurosceptic ? Who blew her majority in the 2017 General Election, meaning that a disproportionate influence on Brexit was handed to the DUP ? Who voted down the WA twice, yet supported it the third time ? Who threw away a workable minority government by ejecting 21 MPs from the party ? Who is to blame for the current mess ?

How many times have you been called a traitor, told that you are "not British any more", or read that you deserve to be strung up by piano wire ?

What is often conveniently overlooked is that the Withdrawal Agreement, ( the 'deal' ), is only a halfway house whilst the final trade agreement and other relationships with the EU are negotiated. Whether you think it is a good or bad deal, is is a path of transition, that prevents a dead fall off the cliff of no-deal. Unravelling 40 years of increasingly tightly bound integration was never going to be a simple overnight process. And I have found something on which I agree with Dominic Cummings - Article 50 should have been delayed.

Using an Order of Council to amend or impact on Primary legislation would be one hell of a stretch. They are used to amend bylaws and institutionl regulations, such as - https://privycouncil.independent.gov.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/8.-August-2019.pdf

Whoever wins the next GE, they won't have a majority of votes cast. Such is "democracy".

I am certain that Cummins et al are currently cooking up another of their cunning schemes to try to find a way around the Benn Act, and force no-deal on Halloween.

Michael Gove in Parliament yesterday; "The automotive sector, who I met this week, confirmed that they were ready," Representatives of the automotive sector, present at the meeting; "I was at the meeting. There's no way that is the message he could have gone away with," "No! We said we are planning as best we can, but cannot prepare for all eventualities and tariffs alone undermine our viability. We want a deal. No deal is not an option. Catastrophic." And a briefing note reports "leaving without a deal is the worst possible outcome". Reminds me of when I was working on a national IT networking project, and at one meeting 3 aides to a Labour minister attended to verify details to be included in a speech the minister was giving that afternoon. The aides listed the 4 key points, all of which, the project team asserted to them, were wrong. The speech went ahead without correction.

Perhaps the cameras in the HoC should be turned off for the next 3 weeks, so that the bile ridden antics on both sides are denied the 'oxygen of publicity'. BoJo came out swinging yesterday, and the spectacle, language, and example set were disgraceful. Describing understandable concerns over threats of violence as "humbug", given his recent exploits, was not the style of leadership we should be demanding of our Prime Minister.

Skodas

Presumably the groovy, hip, cool cat, leading Her Majesty's loyal opposition.

I love the bit where he gets caught; first there's one policeman grabbing him, then a couple more, then about 10 more go across to "assist" in restraining him. ( My wife reckons the horse has a look of a Suffolk Punch ).

We want 5.

Cedric - WTF !

How the f()ck wasn't that a red card ?

Eastleigh, Aldershot, Havant and Waterlooville,..........

My wife has just quipped that the Skates' position in L1 is 'near the top of League 2'.

Wish list for the second half; Adams goal, to give him confidence Obafemi goal, reward for his effort JWP goal, "local lad" who made the correct, ( obvious ), choice

I've paid so little attention to League 1 this season that this is the first time I've seen their position in the table.

If the SC had found in his favour he'd be lauding them. ( Or at least Cummings would be, not sure BoJo is capable of thinking for himself ).

From where I'm looking, Stoke is very much SOUTH. ( Still a sh!th0le full of southern caaants though ).
