Wait for a taxi?And what do you do outside of the station?
Wait for a taxi?And what do you do outside of the station?
Just save lives, tackle armed robbers, rescue vulnerable kids etc. You know. The normal 9-5 kinda gig.And what do you do outside of the station?
We put up wages – with the biggest expansion of the living wage for a generation; Corbyn would put up taxes for everyone.
We back our superb armed forces around the world; Corbyn has said he wants them disbanded.
We want an Australian-style points based system for immigration; Corbyn says he doesn’t even believe in immigration controls.
If Jeremy Corbyn were allowed into Downing Street, he would whack up your taxes, he would foul up the economy, he would rip up the alliance between Britain and the USA, and he would break up the UK.
We cannot allow it to happen
Amazed you find time to ever post on here.Just save lives, tackle armed robbers, rescue vulnerable kids etc. You know. The normal 9-5 kinda gig.
Is he sacking Michael Gove then? The nerve of this lot.He says the government will crack down on county lines drug gangs who are preying on vulnerable young kids and "sending them to die in the streets to feed the cocaine habits of the bourgeoisie".
Even Superman found time to write the odd article for the Planet. It's what we do.Amazed you find time to ever post on here.
Is that Russ' wife?Dianne Abbot PMQs - what a nice bit of lunchtime comedy!
Who would you prefer led either party?my dislike of the position and direction of the current Tory party is sadly only equalled by my dislike of the current state of labour and the Lib Dem’s.
Literally not one moderate or reasonable party to align with nowadays.
I watch Boris and JRM and cringe and then watch John McDonell and JC and whince at the thought of what they’d do if in power.
if they were serious about negotiating a deal then that would be locical so that they had no westminister distractions in the run up to the EU summit...I'd bet heavily on a propagation next week, probably for the whole week.
I think you're a bit too swarthy though.As a white male, I'm fully behind this! /sarcasm
I’ve been checked against the scale, I’m safe.I think you're a bit too swarthy though.

Are Boris Johnson’s PR People Manipulating Google Search?
With so many people getting their news from what Google shows in search results, playing the system is a necessary tactic.
Anyone remember the ‘Boris bus’? The pledge plastered across a red London bus to give £350 million to the NHS after the UK leaves the European Union? Here’s a reminder:
For a long time, when you searched for ‘boris bus’ in Google you’d see many references to this Brexit campaign promise. So many references, in fact, that it became a bit of an embarassment for Boris Johnson, as so far it has seemed to be a rather empty promise.
Hence why, in a June 2019 interview, Boris Johnson’s admission that he likes to ‘paint buses’ as a hobby raised some suspicion – primarily because it seemed to be a carefully crafted proclamation designed to game Google’s news algorithms.
It did seem to have the intended effect, initially, when the ‘boris bus’ search result changed to show the interview’s statement rather than the big red Brexit campaign bus......

I think that's a stretch. He was shaking the hands of people that were offering it to him. He doesn't go to shake the last guys hand either until he extends it.What's the story here then?

For a 4-day closure? No way.Can see that going down well. Surely, after everything, the queen will refuse
Dont think she can? Is the timing of this anywhere near legitimate? Or at least when we would expect it to happen regardless of brexit timings?Can see that going down well. Surely, after everything, the queen will refuse

Why does Prorogation have to happen at such an critical time? We managed without it for long enough. The EU are scrutinising Boris’s proposals, 4 weeks from the date, and....nows the time to not have to answer any questions?!Dont think she can? Is the timing of this anywhere near legitimate? Or at least when we would expect it to happen regardless of brexit timings?
If not, then it's a shocker.
That's what it looks like. After the court ruling against it too!Why does Prorogation have to happen at such an critical time? We managed without it for long enough. The EU are scrutinising Boris’s proposals, 4 weeks from the date, and....nows the time to not have to answer any questions?!
It's fair to say that a new session of parliament is overdue. But it is not required. And could easily wait until there wasn't a massive issue to be dealt with and a looming deadline.That's what it looks like. After the court ruling against it too!
But, I'm curious as to when this process would be expected to happen? How often is it done and over the last 10 years when has it taken place?
And just like that the Lib Dems lost a few thousand votes in Scotland.Tweet

Yeah but let's not pretend that the Tory Part Conference isn't also a timely stalling tactic as well. He's trying everything he can to stop the entirety of Parliament sitting because he knows the Remain lot still need some Tories to support any motions they try to out through.It's fair to say that a new session of parliament is overdue. But it is not required. And could easily wait until there wasn't a massive issue to be dealt with and a looming deadline.
The courts could, I guess, rule against the tories again on the grounds that the effect of the prorogation is that parliament is stymied. Though I have no idea if they would, as the timescale is more reasonable. Even if it has been done for nothing other than to gain political advantage.
With the tories I want to think that there is certain class forces at play, different parts of British capitalism fighting against other. The real world effects of a nostalgia for the British empire and the outcome of government/party which is in crisis due to a dying membership and voter base."I'm going to take away the things I got the advantage of so other people can't get it"
Yup, sounds like a Tory to me.
It could be that giving free movement to mostly rich white people, whilst denying it to mostly poor darker skinned people is someone outrageous.The ability to live and work in any European country was one of the main reasons I wanted to become a British citizen. Looking at it from the outside, it is such an incredible gift to be able to do that. Patel is a cnut.
How can someone be so inward-looking to think ending it is a good thing?
Yeah but 2017 or somethingMeanwhile...

He has no personal motive since he is not a Muslim. And he knows he will be put into a very difficult personal position because of that.Still waiting on The Saj's inquiry into islamophobia...
