I went out this morning thinking how informed and tolerant this thread is allowing and encouraging debate. I return to find it has ascended to encompass the delights of Brown eyes brunettes and Tit Monday. Another glass of wine and some more Richard Thompson should help make sense of it all.
P. S. Richard's finished and Joni's soothing the soul.

Good choices both!
 
This popped into my inbox this morning, can but hope parliament gets a collective sensible head on.

Dear StJabbo
Parliament is going to debate the petition you signed – “Revoke Art.50 if there is no Brexit plan by the 25 of February”.

https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/239706

The debate is scheduled for 11 March 2019.

Once the debate has happened, we’ll email you a video and transcript.

Thanks,
The Petitions team
UK Government and Parliament

"Government pays Eurotunnel £33m over Brexit ferry case"
Good to see to the Government getting a slap over that one.


an yet Mrs May's bestie Grayling is still in his job..............even when today's other Story is the mess he made to the probation service when he was Justice minister.

She should have left him in the non entity of a jobs of "Lord President of the Council" and "Leader of the house of commons" that Cameron had demoted him to.
 
Interesting article about the dirty tricks perpetrated to blacken Corbyn’s name:

I think most reasonable people can see what is happening, but, unfortunately, the people who read the lies and misinformation will probably believe every word. This just shows how fearful the government, and it’s supporters, have become of having a party in power that will actually work for the many, and not the few.
