Heard a snippet of an interview with Jacob Rees Mogg in full Panic mode in that fruity-Queens-English-and-Latin-only voice that proves he is a robot from planet Zog - practically begging for May's deal to be given another chance so that he can now vote for it. Sorry mate, that ship has now sailed. But the good news for him is depending on whether enough MPs now speak to each other to carve up a soft Brexit deal to put to our delegate in Brussels, the good lady herself, it might come back briefly before April 12. However he'd better be wearing his life jacket and be ready to trample over all the other souls fleeing the consequences of what they have sown.

Another soundbite bites the dust. 'No deal is better than a bad deal' He obviously has forgotten the pigs in Orwell's 1984.

May has a meeting with the 1922 Committee at 5pm tomorrow. It is expected she will agree to resign in return for support for her deal. So it may not be dead. She may need DUP support as well as ERG. Then, will Labour vote against or abstain? Who knows?

I heard Mogg on the wireless earlier saying that he'd come to realise that 'Brexit is a process and not an event'.

So is Democracy, Jakey

On the Sterling Racism Row that have a few politicians calling for the ban of Montenegro from the Euros:

Get your own house in order you plums

Monkey Chants come from simpletons everywhere

Last night if the chant was for example

G. Stirling i g. Rose, oboje ste mali crni patuljak.

You would ignore it
 
19 ministers prepared to quit if they don’t get a free vote in the indicative voting process. Apparently that would be enough to bring the government down, so expect free votes.

What you mean it didn't stop on Referendum night? But it must have done because that is what we've been told for the last 3 years.
We can't run it again, or do anything at all until 'the people', well 17.4 million anyway, have been given what they wanted. Then.
.

That was part of what I heard. Sounds like someone has him by the short and curlies.

Given the polls and the latest reports on the Beeb why don't we just exit without a deal and then immediately hold another referendum? We can then rejoin on the new terms to be offered That presumably will be ok even by arch Brexiteers because the government will then be following the will of the people.

Under EU law, cars made from 2022 will have satellite controlled speed limiters on cars to enforce speed limits. Which is a good reason to buy your next car from Japan or America
 
Hopefully we'll be out and this draconian law won't apply here. It's the start of a superstate having an overseeing presence inside your car
i read somewhere that it will be adopted in the uk
also all cars must have the wiring for the convicted drink driver checking equiptment installed
which is not a bad thing
