Sounds like they are perfectly suited for a stint in academia where one often finds there are meetings about the meeting, which itself is about how to proceed...kle4 said:
So many meetings, so little concluded after them. What do they spend their time doing at all these meetings? Same goes with the DUP and the endless 'constructive' talks they have on things.williamglenn said:Do they have a special costume?

I might be totally wrong, but the Letwin amendment + STV seems by far the best chance Theresa May has of getting her deal through.

It's a bizarre situation if they don't step up. What are they even there for, and what about all those whingers going on about how dreadfully May ignores them (which is true) if they still refuse to collectively do anything about it?SouthamObserver said:So, if - as I expect -MPs do fail, once again, to take any responsibility for shaping the Brexit deal tonight, what happens next? Surely it has to be May’s Deal.
One thing I am confident about is they absoultely won't go for the deal. Whatever any rational arguments for it at this point may or may not be, it seems pretty clear that mentally that is one option that enough MPs have decided is just plain done. It's about the only thing they've decided, and they will stick to that for want of anything else/
'I am opposed to all compromises on offer'. But totally not a fanatic, I'm sure.williamglenn said:

Really? There's a precious little sign of that, I fear. Third rate wazzocks who would be chucked of the Communist Party of the Uzbek SSR for being too self-seeking.SouthamObserver said:At some stage they have to put the country first.
I've very reluctantly come to the conclusion it's not revoking the referendum result that will destroy our democratic system ('reluctantly' because that can be avoided). It's the atrocious quality of the members it produces that already has destroyed it.
We need a total clearout, somehow.0 -
Yes it does need to decide. But it also first needs to decide what the confirmation vote is about. Is it May's Deal or Norway+ or what? It should be whatever has the most support in parliament. Then parliament needs to decide whether to put it to a public vote.Pulpstar said:I love the way 2nd referendumers have switched to this "confirmation" of whatever the house decides. The house needs to decide to allow the public another referendum, it isn't simply some process matter that can be tacked onto Corbyn's Customs Unicorn or whatever is agreed.

At the risk of setting you know who off, I think that figure is an underestimate of participation. It might be a true reflection of how many people followed the official march - and even then they don't seem to have allowed for the fact that the march was continually getting new feeds at the back through the afternoon - but there were also considerable crowds joining at Green Park and a large gathering of people at St James Park big enough to have their own stage. (Not sure what it was - anyone know?). My estimate is the true figure is closer to 900,000.FF43 said:

Not sure why some Remainers want more pro EU cabinet members to resign .
There needs to be a counterweight to the no deal fantasists in the cabinet so they need to stay . Lower ranking ones fine but not Secretary’s .
As it is May put in some alleged Remainers who then ditched that stance to suck up to the Tory Membership.
So we need the saner ones in there .0 -

52,388 to be exact.Recidivist said:
Just googled it. It's area is 230000 sq metres. So you'd get nearly a million in it if you squeezed them and if there wasn't a body of water in the middle.Gallowgate said:
I’ll have you know that St James Park has a capacity of 52,000 👌Recidivist said:
At the risk of setting you know who off, I think that figure is an underestimate of participation. It might be a true reflection of how many people followed the official march - and even then they don't seem to have allowed for the fact that the march was continually getting new feeds at the back through the afternoon - but there were also considerable crowds joining at Green Park and a large gathering of people at St James Park big enough to have their own stage. (Not sure what it was - anyone know?). My estimate is the true figure is closer to 900,000.FF43 said:

Remainers seem to want to label all leavers as nutters , hardly the way to reconcile a divided nationTheScreamingEagles said:You can imagine the more nuttier* elements of the ERG putting burning EU flags in the gardens of EU citizens living in the UK.
*Horrendous tautology I know.
My comment was NOT directed at all leavers, I was precise in that it was focussed on the ERG.
I'm only using the language Leavers use towards the ERG.0 -

The PM said quite specifically that recognising the view of the house, we wouldn't leave with no deal unless parliament so agreed.SouthamObserver said:
Have they?IanB2 said:
It does in extremis raise the possibility of a last minute decision with only no deal or revoke as the available options (as some PB'ers I think have already suggested?) - but at least MPs will have the choice.0 -
The Countryside Alliance march? Was that the one when all the bumpkins came to London to thank them for subsidising their lifestyle so heavily?0
