    The Chancellor can change the law with regard to taxation and then 'back date' it so why can't Parliament change the rules (and back date it) to say if an MP is convicted of ANY criminal offence then there has be a 'by election' in that constituency within 3 months of conviction and it would be up to the local party to decide if the sitting MP is replaced as their candidate or not.

    She cannot if her custodial sentence is 12 months or more.

    Her arrogance is a massive incentive to the sentencing judge next month.

    No problem with John Redwood getting one, although the other two are non entities.

    JR has been elected for 31 years, and has been a Cabinet Minister. He’s not the most personable of men (I know, I’ve been in his office in meetings) but he has a brain the size of a planet and could have earned a fortune had he gone into the City after working for Lady Marge.

    I was told by an electrician who worked on the PA systems for the select committees that Redwood is a very decent man, the opposite of his rather strange public persona. You could say that about a lot of celebs. Jack Benny made a living from jokes about his stinginess, but was a very generous man, whereas stingy people include Big Daddy, Wilfrid Pickles and Ray Davies, whose former chauffeur was my next-door neighbour.

    JR is true to himself, a lot of them are not.

    Scandalous the way these "refugees" are coming across the Channel in dinghies - 94 of them caught in the last week alone.

    (Just imagine how many have not seen caught....)

    FRANCE IS A SAFE COUNTRY !!!! Odious though he is, they don't need to flee President Macron.

    The only reason they want to come here is our soft touch benefits and housing system. They will be selling Big Issues for a National Insurance number within a week.

    No surprise to see Corbyn and the deeply unpatriotic Corbyn Party wanting to welcome them.

    Anecdotal evidence suggests Universal credit is far from being a soft touch. The homelessness epidemic suggests the housing system is not a soft touch. The reality is probably light years away from what the migrants are told.

    @ForestHillBilly

    Outside Greggs in Orpington High St at 8.30am this morning - a Romanian beggar - along with the full regalia including the custom made “i is very Hungary” sign.

    Never thought I would see the day in :emoticon-0119-puke: :emoticon-0119-puke: my home town.

    What are police doing about it ??

    Hopefully the police will quickly arrest him - begging is a criminal offence ??

    I believe factors beyond our control will make things progressively worse in this regard, whoever is running the country and whatever (Non-)brexit we get. In the end time will tell.

    Personally I think people’s tempers regarding this sort of thing are reaching boiling point. It is intolerable. Romanian beggars (this bloke looked about 20) camped out begging on the streets of suburbia. You can only blame the system that allowed them over here. Deport them !

    No sensible, sane person can surely deny that this sort of garbage is dragging this country into the gutter ??

    An American climatologist was asked a few years ago what advice he had for his grandchildren. "Get a gun" was his reply.
    Too many false prophets, and too many people believing them.

    "...The referendum in 2016 was divisive..."

    A direct quote from Theresa May, which I just heard on the TV news this morning.
    Not a hopeful note on which to begin 2019.


    Our Prime Minister, whose government has no majority in the Commons, stating that democracy is divisive.

    Leave.

    I voted Referendum Party in 1997 then UKIP since then.
    Looks like I won't have anybody to vote for in future, but if we aren't out of the EU by March 30th that's not going to be a problem.
    I'll never vote again anyway.

    Good man Lardi.

    I am proud to claim the title of most anti-EU person in the U.K. :emoticon-0148-yes:

    Keep the faith, less than 100 days to go now and we no longer have to pay Juncker’s wine bill.
