    mmm, so Caroline Spelman reads out a letter from one of her constituents saying he and his family voted to leave and feel that the MP's are not listening and will never vote again. So Spelman says she is withdrawing her amendment and the "remainer' Bercow says she can't and other signatories might want to still go ahead.
    You just get the feeling that this is turning into one big stitch up.

    China has started moving into Africa as it's a very quick growing place. It still has some weird governments but big business will remove them and probably exploit the people. The freaks at the EU do not care about democracy or people.

    Great news that will make the EU more powerful
    Plus we are a ex member
    About time you old dinosaurs lost the fact that we grew the EU ... we were too self obsessed half the time to work within the EU . We were frankly useless and should of helped shape the EU

    All this bollocks about being a rich country needs killing off ... it’s a false thing we are in bloody debt and always have been

    However we are the largest shop in Europe and because of the blue sheep dinosaurs things are going to become a lot more expensive

    With a lot of suppliers based in the EU only expect one thing ... rising prices you bloody fools take the blinkers off

    Brilliant question from Hilary Benn MP

    "Why is it democratic to keep bringing back to the House a proposition that has been historically defeated twice, but it is somehow undemocratic to ask the British people if they want to change their minds?"

    I think I said this here earlier!!!!

    Btw...did I ever mentioning I played against Hilary Benn on Top of the Form in about 1970.

    His school won!

    I feel Corbyn's been sending messages to his troops by the way he has acted. It's a case of "who will rid me of this turbulent priest". And his supporters act on it. Anyway there we are. People will look at the evidence from differing positions.

    PS I hope McClaren will be covering the whole of you back by teatime!

    Yes I have heard that said before and in some instances he is right. He is crafty because he has been saying all along that we should respect the vote but really want's a peoples vote.
    A lot of these MP's won't be in their jobs that long after they betray the will of the people.

    Yes, These remainer MP's are trying their best to stop Brexit. Although it is still in law (default) and these votes mean nothing. They would need to change constitution/Law to change it... That will go down well with the public who are livid with what is happening?

    Macedonia, but especially Albania, are going to soak up a lot of EU money. Ireland, that has until recently (2016) been a net recipient country, will find itself being a big contributing country. I wonder if that will affect the popularity of the EU in that country.

    I see our resident Euro fanatic is ecstatic that his beloved corrupt EU is gaining 2 more Eastern European countries thus becoming even more powerful, ( his words not mine )
    Does anyone else get the impression that in a field full of Turkeys he is the only one looking forward to Christmas!!

    That cut and paste thing that kiwi was talking about - source wikipedia


    Early life and education[edit]
    Born in Hammersmith, London, he is the second son of former Labour Cabinet Minister Tony Benn and American-born educationalist Caroline Benn (née DeCamp). Benn is a fourth-generation MP – his father, his paternal grandfather Lord Stansgate, and his great-grandfathers Sir John Benn and Daniel Holmes were all Members of Parliament, mostly with factions of the Liberal Party.[1]

    Benn attended Norland Place School, Westminster Under School, Holland Park School and the University of Sussex where he graduated in Russian and East European Studies. Benn has an older brother, Stephen, a younger sister Melissa and younger brother, Joshua.[2] Reflecting on his upbringing, he said: "I grew up in a household where we talked about the state of the world over breakfast, when we ate at night, and all points in between."[3]

    Although May could reverse Brexit if she wanted. <doh> That would get her hung drawn and quartered.

    Interesting comments from Steven Woolfe saying the UK MEP seats were divided between EU states and they have until 18th May to submit a candidate... well those countries have been campaigning for those seats and he says that the EU don't want UK MEP's being involved in the next elections. The other EU states will kick off if they believe they will lose seats. He also said Farage Brexit party are going to the high court to say if we are still in by that date we must have a seat. The EU don't really want us to stay now... except they do want our money.

    Aah, the socialist Eton. I think Hilary might have left before it went batshit egalitarian, doing away with streaming altogether and not giving any awards for academic achievement.

    The 70s were ****ing great. Seriously, bad luck for the kids involved, but who would even dream of doing something so experimental nowadays?

    ****, I forgot about ‘faith’ schools.

    I think you will find the Irish are beginning to fall out of love with the EU, especially dumping large numbers of ''economic migrants'' in small communities on them
