Mr Messori said: “I think this parliamentary motion was just an accident.”" "the “practical implications [of the vote are] substantially zero,” said Nicola Nobile, an economist at Oxford Economics." "So last week’s vote may have been merely symbolic — but for Italy’s emboldened Eurosceptics, however, it was a morale boost"

Walking the dogs out across the beach at low tide; the Lake District in front of us, the Pennines to our right, and an open vista towards the Isle of Man to the left, and knowing there isn't another human being within a mile and a half radius.

But headed in the wrong direction.

It is now 5 times in the tournament that the stumps have been hit by the ball but the bails have not come off. The David Warner one today was ridiculous, but the 'best' one was Chris Gayle being given out caught behind against Australia, only for the decision to be overturned on review because the ball hit the off stump rather than the edge of his bat.

Only in England - Scotland, Wales, and NI permit leaving at 16.

Why vote at all ?

If they are the ones most affected by a policy, across their lifespan, why shouldn't their opinion be heard ?

Bring back the birch and National Service, send boys down the mines at 14, and teach the girls that a woman's place is in the home . Make sure all the plebs know exactly how to doff their flat caps as their 'Betters' pass them by on the street. #MakeBritainGreatAgain.

I imagine very few foreign players would actually want to join Saints.

During the interview he admitted his ‘great regret’ at dabbling in ‘absinthe and laudanum in the year of our lord 1899’. Although the former work house master hasn’t put himself forward for the Conservative leadership elections, he steadfastly defended his drug addicted colleagues. “What is in the past should remain there”. “If my colleagues in Westminster wish to air their dirty laundry in the name of transparency then I’m fully behind them”. Although he regretted his past actions, Mr. Reese-Mogg was keen to point out that those substances were perfectly legal when he tried them.

Michael Gove "deeply regrets" that the fact he used to use cocaine has become public knowledge; https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-48564722 That makes 3 leadership candidates who have now admitted to 'experimenting', plus the old rumours of BoJo and cocaine. Perhaps those who haven't done so will have to invent something so as to stay in the race ?

Personally I would avoid it, but if the cheaper end of the market is dominated by US imports then those people for whom price is the predominant factor would not have a choice. And the issue is not with the chlorine itself, it is the "dirty" abbatoir practices that exist in the US that the chlorine is covering up.

#AmericaFirst There is already enough information that has been leaked concerning US demands, including access to the NHS for US health insurance companies, chlorinated chicken, and GM foodstuffs ( currently banned by the EU ). What on Earth have we to counter with in what will undoubtedly be one-sided discussions ? The US side have already positioned themselves as wanting to reverse the current trade gap that exists between us.

Aren't pedestrians banned on motorways ?

"The Federal Aviation Administration Authority (FAA) added that the issue arose due to an "improper manufacturing process"."

I don't think any of these voted for Remain.

Donald Trump on Twitter :"I never called Meghan Markle 'nasty'. Made up by the Fake News Media, and they got caught cold!" Donald Trump taped interview with The Sun : "I didn't know that. What can I say? I didn't know that she was nasty,"

But there is a conundrum there; if we had voted as narrowly to stay, then the status quo would have been maintained. Any momentum built up behind a rerun campaign, claiming that the result was too close for a definitive generational commitment, would start from the same effective position as the first poll. We most certainly would not be debating, 3 years down the line, on what form of 'Bremain' we were looking to implement. In a way, the situation regarding the People's Vote is purely down to the mess at Westminster; too many options and possibilities have been proposed, and the continued lack of coherent leadership, and clarity on what Brexit might actually look like, has given second poll supporter's scope for optimism. If the Government had done it's job, and especially if Teresa May had not called her General Election, then the wind would have been taken from any nascent People's Vote campaign, as by now we would be so far down the road to severence from the EU that the scope for a straightforward rerun would not exist. But, to answer your question, of course not - my position, and that of Wes, et al, would simply be reversed. ( After all, we are all true democrats ).

And do you think that if the result had been the other way round, that Farage would have simply turned his back on his pre-referendum statement concerning a 48/52 split and quietly disappeared into the sunset ? Of course he wouldn't.
