You’re right. I think they view 31/10 as ages away, so they can take it easier and not bother themselves until late summer.
if you have an immediate bill for £39 billions and more to follow, you may be forgiven to leave it to the last day.

a lot of kippers are flogging to Farage's new party. I can't see BXP beating Labour in the next GE.
JC will either give you andrex soft brexit or he'll put brexit on indefinite hold.
Yup - thats the trouble with our first past the post system. Last time UKIP got 4m votes and no MPS - whereas the lib-dems got 5m and what was it 8?

But then again - it has historically provided us with a clear winner and a clear mandate to do as they want.

Not this time though me thinks.

Do like Boris, carry on insisting you're right, regardless of the facts.

It still seems to make him popular.
.
Good point.

When in danger - double down.
....... and another Theresa May success story during her time as Home Secretary.

Does anyone know where all the leaders are? We have just been granted a generous extension to A50, London is experiencing severe disruption and everyone seems to have cleared off. Shouldn't they be working day and night to make the best use possible of the A50 extension the EU granted us? There was no obligation on them to do that and it seems like the cycle of failure is starting to come around yet again. Squander time, beg for more time, squander time, beg for more time........

Maybe we have done something to deserve this.
That's nothing. Try being French right now.

The day of reckoning always arrives. There is no point putting it off, you may as well confront it head-on and deal with it.

Calsonic Kansei: Car parts firm to cut 95 jobs in Llanelli
A car parts manufacturer is set to cut 95 staff from its Llanelli factory after a "significant drop in sales".

Japanese firm Calsonic Kansei employs around 300 people at the Carmarthenshire plant and develops cooling systems and air conditioning components.

The company was offered a £4.4m grant by the Welsh Government in December in order to create 88 jobs.

Economy Minister Ken Skates blamed "serious instability" around Brexit.
So it has nothing to do with them making parts for gas-guzzlers that aren't selling?

Its been the problem throughout last three years and its getting worse. Folk with the greatest number of followers on twatter, thickbook etc etc, have more say and influence than any economist. The Billy Braggs, Frankie Boyles, Gary Linekars are suddenly socio economic experts. That loud mouth from Boom Town Prats set scene early on, insulting leave voters and its been tolerated and magnified since. Idiots like those set the atmosphere between us all.
How can the BBC justify his salary? It just doesn't make sense to me. will people stop watching the football matches if he's not on the panel of pundits?

Your link answers your questions.

He's been voted Sports Personality of the Year because he is very popular with the public. And the public switch to programs with people they like in them.

To get him they have to pay enough, he's in demand with advertisers; Walkers alone must pay him a small fortune.

Well, lets face it right wing parties are generally full of nut cases, rogues . liars and incompetents, they were bound to turn rabid, and they have

Brexit is giving them the opportunity of a lifetime.

They view themselves as jackals squabbling over a weak member of the EU herd they have managed to single out and make vulnerable to attack, the problem is they squabble among themselves while circling their prey.

My dear friend - as you seem to be thus far unaware - the rules around here are simple: If it is bad news - then without mistake this is due to Brexit.

That is how it works.

You have been officially informed.

Give them time to get organised around a simple idea - and watch the left implode.

I don’t know why the police are so reluctant / unable to remove them if they are causing disruption, which they clearly are. I don’t think any reasonable person objects to a public display to bring attention to a particular cause, but when they are preventing others from earning a living and shutting down eco-friendly transport systems, it oversteps the mark and action is needed.

That pink boat has been parked for 3 days. Why hasn’t it been towed away? My car would have been gone in 39 minutes and me with it if I’d tried to prevent its removal.

Those dancing coppers are a disgrace to their uniforms. They should be investigated for malfeasance if duty.

Our local police have just stuck a 12% increase on the council tax bill. The only police I ever see are fat triple chinned gits with gravy coming out of their heads. If the Met is the same, no wonder it’s such a shambles. What must other countries be thinking.
they wern't long threatening the lorry drivers slowing traffic down in a protest at brexit being delayed, with prosecution. But it seems you can stop people going about their legal business in London, and the left wing clowns are able to do so with impunity. Talk about double standards

And the truth is that this is generally true!
Name one thing that has improved because of Brexit....
No, allow me to.
Lord Nigel made millions by conceding defeat on referendum night and causing a currency fluctuation he had bet on, and he wasn't the only one was he?
And of course when Brexit happens it will keep the EU from getting it's hands on Tax from those offshore accounts.
And there will be plenty of backhanders when the NHS is sold off.

The list is endless if you are in on the racket.
Shame about the rest of us.

This isn't just a left wing movement,regardless of what the media would have you believe, but they do make an obvious target don't they?

leave them stuck there
That would play right into their hands!
Oh dear, do you imagine for a moment they don't have a bottle of superglue release agent on their persons?
You can buy Glue and release agent anywhere! incidentally Acetone and most nail varnish removers will work too
