    Looking likely that a vote this evening for a GE in December will win. Only a simple majority needed on this one. Tories, SNP and Lib Dems joining forces to get it through so no need for any Cowardly Commie Party votes.

    Johnson to be returned to power with a large majority, Brexit done, happy days.

    Don't want to lose their jobs just before Christmas, you mean.


    PS I still think you are delusional. You have blind faith in a system that's letting you down at every turn.

    I'd be the first to admit it. <ok>

    Anyway - interesting scenario?

    1) Boris has offered up no more pushing for his negotiated Brexit deal before a GE if Parliament agrees to one in December.

    2) Boris is returned to power with a significant majority.

    3) He then puts a bill through the House to revoke the Benn Act.

    4) It's voted through and is passed into law.

    5) Boris tells the EU to **** off and comes out legally without a deal.

    For those who believe Boris didn't break his promise and think we're leaving in 2 days time you are as stupid as this man

    Not so sure. Baldrick had a cunning plan - Boris has a cumming plan. <ok>

    They won't be allowed to strike.
    • The union must have conducted a lawful ballot of all the members it believes will be called upon to take part.
    • The action must be over a trade dispute between workers and their employer over an issue like terms or conditions of employment and as defined in s.244 of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992.

    I hope the government will mobilise police from across the country as that sounds likes an attempt to substitute the rule of the mob for the rule of law, and it must not succeed

    I quite agree and with an election coming up the choices will be very similar to the last election;

    https://www.independent.co.uk/news/...eremy-corbyn-protect-old-people-a7760666.html

    https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/8...-Tory-manifesto-pensioners-social-care-crisis

    And I'm being quite serious if you gave me a choice between a sensible Brexit and a Labour government or no brexit and a Tory government I'd actually choose the former.

    The election will be framed about just being about Brexit but the ramifications of a 5 year Boris Johnson right wing majority government I think will be terrible for this country. (others will of course disagree).

    But in my opinion the tories have done it before and they'll do it again https://www.rsm.ac.uk/media-release...hs-in-2015-to-cuts-in-health-and-social-care/
