Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Maybe 50 Labour voting against. The rest voting for. Corbyn has agreed to 3 days debate. The real problem is the Lord's. There are no set timetables for amendments.

Didn't St Theresa say she would create a thousand new peers to outvote the present lot if they played up?

That would be the only way. The use of the Parliament Act requires a wait of a year. That would put A50 back to 2018.

Being thick here but was't there a thought that if the Lords didn't vote it through , they would be seen as going against the will of the people and there could be moves to remove the House of Lords . Sure I heard one Lord actually say this on c4 on the night .

That would require 2/3 majority in Commons. Very unlikely. The use of the Parliament Act to force it through would also take a year.

If the Lords voted it down then a General Election would be called, and
once the Tory's won a large majority, with the help of UKIP winning between
around 70-100 seats from Labour, the Lords would then be subject to a
serious re-organisation..IF NOT SHUT DOWN,,,,LOL!

Corbyn has announced today that he wants a three line whip on voting for A50. Expect some resignations from his front bench after vote.

Crime Lesson No: 1

"Bumping Locks" with a Bump Key

Solution: Always fit cylinders which can't be 'bumped'.

Well there goes the first shadow front bencher...Tulip Siddiq resigns..

Lol I'm sure she will be sorely missed .... never heard of her.

I believe she is an associate of Hyacinth Bucket in the flower power movement. Could be wrong.

Who?

Tulip

She is MP for the most marginal Constituency. Hampstead and Kilburn had a majority of 44 when it was held by Glenda Jackson. She is worried about losing her seat because her seat was a strong remain one. She cannot afford to vote for A50 with Corbyn. She won't be the last to go.

Maybe is doing well.

Yes she is Freda! Go back to bed your hot water bottle is going cold. Labour leaping up the ratings in latest confused,com poll :0)

Four-time Olympic champion Sir Mo Farah says he fears Donald Trump's travel ban means he may not be able to return to his family in the United States.

Sir Mo is a British citizen but was born in Somalia - one of the seven mainly-Muslim countries affected by the US President's controversial immigration order.

People from Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen have been temporarily barred from entering the US along with all refugees.

The ban could also affect UK citizens born in those seven countries and the long-distance runner is concerned he will be classed by the US authorities as "an alien".

Sir Mo, 33, lives with his wife and four children in Portland, Oregon, where he also trains but he is believed to be currently in Ethiopia.

He said it was "deeply troubling" that have to tell the youngsters "daddy might not be able to come home".

He added his voice to criticism of the President's executive order, saying the ban "comes from a place of ignorance and prejudice". (I very strongly agree with this comment myself).

NOTE: The hijackers in the September 11, 2001, attacks were 19 men affiliated with al-Qaeda. They were citizens of Saudi Arabia [15], the United Arab Emirates [2], Egypt [1] and Lebanon[1]. None of these countries are on 'Trump's List'.

All those feminist protesting against Trumps policies, which was ALL voted
on by the electorate and which Trump is now carrying out, but why arn't
these very same feminist not protesting against sharia law that discriminates
against women, where is the RSPCA when it comes to the production of halal
with the killing of animals without stunning the animal prior to slitting its throat?.

Why hasn't the Brownlee brothers been made a 'SIR', who in their chosen
sport not only run 10.000km, but cycle and swim distances?....

And how can you call someone 'British' when they come from Somalia and live
in the US...Except for it to be a flag of convenience in the multi-culturlist
all inclusive agenda...

All terrorism since 911 has been committed by US citizens who were radicalised in the US. None committed by people from countries listed.
