oh dear Mrs May has lost a key Brexit vote, stabbed in the back by her own MPs Perhaps they are the ones feeling stabbed in the back for being lied to about what Brexit will really mean to the UK in the long run. At least in the States, Alabama narrowly chose a senator that has never been banned from a mall for trolling little girls. A small step in the right direction, but a notable one. |

Just seen Star Wars episode viii. Hope for the future lies with the rebel alliance. |

We just lost net neutrality in the USA. Not sure how that will effect worldwide, but here in the it will likely effect free speech and the ability to find what you are looking for.
Only time will tell how detrimental to freedom it becomes, but I have a bad feeling about this.

Apparently we now need to be more patriotic about cheese. That is ok, I always look forward to the arrival of cheeses at this time of year. And I am sure Gove will remind us that cheeses is British through and through. 🇬🇧🏴🏴🏴. |

Well done to the nine brave Labour MPs that voted last night in favour of the British Public voting on the final Brexit deal.
Ben Bradshaw,
Ann Clwyd,
Geraint Davies,
Paul Flynn,
Roger Godsiff,
Helen Hayes,
David Lammy,
Catherine West
and Daniel Zeichner.
If you support the right of the British people to have their say on the final Brexit deal, as of last night there are only three political parties in the House of Commons who agree with you. These are the Liberal Democrats, Plaid Cymru and the Green Party.
The voting figures speak for themselves.

We need to respect the decision of the people by refusing to allow any further referendum on an outcome that fails to deliver what people thought they were voting for the first time. we are described as unpatriotic if we show any desire to stay in Europe or at least a soft brexit. Not like that John Redwood for example, a true Brit who was a big voice in the leave campaign. So pro the uk, he has got the disrupted market that he wanted and is recommending to his friends to move money from British interests to investing abroad. What a [expletive deleted]. |

Excellent, the chap who led the LibDems might be getting a knighthood, why? Let’s have a look, under his leadership they gave us: more free childcare for under 2s than ever before to help give respite to single parents, that gave us the Pupil Premium so that primary school kids who need extra help can get it, who gave us free school meals for primary kids and more apprenticeship places than ever before in history for 16-18 year olds that don't go on to further education, who gave us the Youth Contract that guaranteed a place to earn or learn for every unemployed 18-21 year old, who took over 3 million low earners and part time workers out of income tax completely and put over £800 back into over 26 million workers pockets, who gave our elderly the highest ever increase in the basic state pension TWICE, who re-instated the link between Pensions and Earnings, who started the clampdown on tax avoidance by the most wealthy individuals in the Country at HMRC (by 2015 generating an extra £9bn a year in Tax Revenue), who cut tax breaks for the richest and who brought us the Banking Reform Act to stop casino banking, who created the World’s first National Green Investment Bank, who Protected and Modernised Post Offices following the 7,000 closures of the previous Government, who achieved the first net increase in Social Housing in over 30 years, who LEGALISED SAME SEX MARRIAGE, who commenced restoring Civil Liberties and Justice by, axing plans to monitor everyone’s internet and social media use, Scapped Labour’s expensive and intrusive mandatory Identity Card scheme, stopped the Government permanently storing DNA of innocent people, Extended the use of juries in complex cases, who Stopped the routine detention of children in immigration cases, who cut the maximum period of detention without trial to 14 days, who reformed the Libel Law to protect people who critise firms and academics who publish research. Not to mention what under his Leadership he stopped the Tories doing! But that’s another page or two and we all have some idea with just two and a bit years or Tory Governement ...... all this was achieved, while coming THIRD in a General Election and having just 8.7% of seats in the House of Commons and being outnumbered by 5 Tory MPs to each LibDem MP in coalition. And he continues to this day fighting for Britain as one of the great Remain Leaders  I think this is the first Knighthood that's been deserved for ages. Congratulations Nick Clegg! And while you are at it you also managed to annoy Daily Mail and Sun readers too |

I think the best protest would be for nobody to turn up or show the slightest interest in the visit - he feeds off the crowds, supporters or not. Totally agree, but that will not happen, hard to believe but a large chunk of the UK think "Trump will sort the mess of this world out". The problem a lot of us have is that we only talk to people who are like minded, Facebook feeds us stories that we like, we choose to read and research media that we agree with. And so we each live in cosy little "bubbles" believing everyone thinks like us and not quite understanding why the World throws up results we don't expect, like BREXIT vote, Trump election, Corbyn winning Labour Leadership, all where surprises to many. So, I fear, if we don't turn up to protest, a large quantity will turn up to support and cheer him. I think, people should turn up as though supporters, thousands and thousands of them, along all the streets, 2 or 3 deep and as his car approaches, turn their backs to him and drop their trousers, thousands and thousands doing the same. The quantity doing it would mean they cannot possibly prosecute, the humour of the situation would increase the UK's standing around the World as the people made their feeling known in a forceful but peaceful way. Let him come thinking he is welcome, then let's show him our welcome Oh well, that party is cancelled  |

From the countdown: What? You don't want me to visit?  Seriously, I get it. Many here would be happy to see leave and never return. Heck, I hold out hope he will flee to Russia when he realizes that even, and perhaps especially, the President can be tried for and imprisoned for treason. Of course we want you to visit and the streets will bbe packed with many giving a raucously good welcome. Sorry if my wording was a bit ambivalent 🤓 No worries Mikey, I get it, I really do, after all currently I am stuck with a nightmare of a duffus of a world leader. Just couldn't resist poking a little fun. I would hope I am still welcome. It's incredible that we have gotten to this point in the world. You would have thought we would have learned better after WWI and WWII, but time may heal wounds, it also seems to blur reality. Sigh. I hold out hope, because without it there is only despair. The lengths the Russians seem to have gone in disrupting the reasonable world makes one think they might be a crazy conspiracy nut, yet that seems to be where the road leads, with some complacency and perhaps help even from other nations that benefit from an unstable Western World. I can only hope our legal system and judges just given power, that some may not deserve on merit on being able to be impartial, in the USA can prevail over the threat true freedom for all is under. Not one to be an alarmist, but it's hard not to get there lately when paying attention to the details. BTW, I think they made Trump's hands too big in the Orange Wax, not to mention his hairline starts way further back and combs forward.... |
