I know that Karen Bradley is not the smartest cookie, but she surely hasn't just removed the rights of hundreds of thousands of people in Northern Ireland to participate in any future border poll or rerun of the EU referendum. If she has, it is not only explosively anti-democratic, but also profoundly and dangerously provocative.
Revoke would be a dreamy outcome. If that happens I'm going to round up a posse of pals in Hampstead and we'll get the train up to Barnsley and reassure the locals that their concerns about globalization will be addressed.
Sounds a great outing to make peace with the Leavers. I will bring some hummus and quiche to cheer them up.
I am from a northern mining town myself. Just making some gentle humour.
The EU is not the source of Barnsleys problems. Or my hometown of Wigan.
40 years of Neo Liberalism on the other hand
And how is Brexit going to help that?
Indeed, that is the real question that needs to be addressed whether we Revoke or No Deal.
How do we remake the country, economy and society so that the left behind are no longer left behind. We can only be a united country again when it works for everyone.
A question eI asked twice the other night and only @Cyclefree managed a reply
If the result is overturned, what will those in charge do to make the lives of the 52% minority better?
If the result is sustained, then what will those in charge do to make everyones lives better?
O/T. For any of our medics here; If esophageal cancer has blocked the pipe so much that a rod had to be pushed through before a stent could be fitted, and then the stent has failed, is a feeding tube possible? I can't find anything about this
It is possible to do a feeding gastrostomy. This is an opening from the upper abdomen to the stomach, so food gan go directly into the stomach. It is also possible to do Total Parental Nutrition intravenously.
The prognosis though at this stage is very grim indeed, and palliative care may well be kinder.
Thank you. That is what I feared. My brother - nine years older than me.
So sorry to hear that. My father succumbed to oesophagal cancer; you have my deepest sympathy, it is a hard thing to see a loved one suffer from.

Apparently the Home office has already removed the words European union from the front page of all new passports being issued even though we haven’t left yet. They assumed we would leave on 29 March.
Some Guardian readers are very upset as they wanted an EU momento before the new blue passports come in. Susan Hindle Barone is outraged and feels absolutely sick about it!
As it happens, my new (replacement) passport arrived today and I can report it is burgundy with "EUROPEAN UNION" right at the top of the front cover, above "UNITED KINGDOM OF..." It is quite fancy inside with lots of pictures and security stuff. I will treasure it.

How does Rotherham benefit from thousands of Eastern European Roma moving there ?
I think the obvious answer is the right one there. It doesn't. I think these issues are real and not at all trivial.
Well done you listened.
Now it strikes me that the people who extol the benefits of FOM have a tendency to live in upper-middle class safe havens and are thereby protected from the socioeconomic downsides FOM can bring.

Irish referenda are normally used to amend the Irish constitution so have a more formal status than our advisory ones. But it is odd that referendum voting rights aren’t reciprocal although general elections voting rights are. We don’t elect the UK head of state so denying UK nationals a Presidential vote in Ireland is fair enough.

This is why the PD matters.
