Any clue what Farage will do? - he seems to have been rebuffed by BJ in any deal proffered. Will BP put up their fabled 600 candidates and dilute hard core brexit votes from the Tories....

At this stage I think it will be a low turnout GE and resulting vote will reflect the divisions with no out right majority and parliament will only just about function due to wheeling and dealing between parties & factions. Though like with the referundum it will be interesting how Cummings targets the undecided swingers.
I wonder if there will be any real scrutiny of the tactics and Technology employed by any of the various sides?
And of course by whom it will be done?

Can anyone explain why squandering half the time of the latest extension on a GE campaign will advance anything?. As I see it any bills not passed into law by next Tuesday fall. That means the WAB has to be reintroduced. A new Parliament forms a week before Christmas , presumably goes through the rigmarole of a Queens speech opening ,and then goes on Holiday. So now we are back to January 2020,and one calendar month to both Crashout again, and coincidentally the FIRST DAY OF SPRING in the Celtic tradition.
One assumes the current Speaker will be encouraged to remain in post for two extra days...
Correction:

MID WINTER 01/02/2020. This is a U.K. issue so all timings will be in GMT and the seasons must not be based on fairy stories.

As the election kicks off, Corbyn opens up a convincing lead in the Grenfell Tower stakes. Johnson is wearing a Grenfell lapel badge, but Corbyn has both the lapel badge and a Grenfell tie.

I’d estimate that Corby is about 47% more Grenfelly than Boris Johnson at this early stage in the General Election process.

Johnson got too excited and spat mad nonsense. Corbyn got too excited and stuttered like a mad fish.

Both lost on points at PMQs.

Winner by a big head was Jess Phillips

So Scotland , Northern Ireland and Isle of Man are no longer in the UK?. .. interesting. .. I am still open to an apology. GMT is not in question. Ireland adopted GMT in the mid nineteenth century, when the mail services from Holyhead converted to steam.
Prior to that we used Irish Time, which lagged GMT by half an hour.. we are more Westerly.
Your continued ignorance regarding Lunar calendars is tiresome. You might choose to recall the schism about the timing of Easter. ... Which I am now suspecting will be the new new Brexit date.

We can't oblige I'm afraid. The Isle of Man is not and never has been in the United Kingdom.

I’m afraid that you are hopelessly ill equipped, intellectually, to be able to absorb the principles which causes the seasons. You simply don’t have the tools to hand.

You speak of Lunar calendars. The moon has minuscule influence over the seasons and what little influence it does have spans thousands of years. Your error confirms your bone head status. Lunar calendars are irrelevant, just like you and your knowledge.

During March (around the 20th), the Earth is not tilted towards the sun in either the northern or Southern Hemisphere, it is a neutral bias in both halves of the globe. This is the point at which winter ends and spring begins in the northern hemisphere, as the tilt begins to bias the north towards the sun. That is unless you believe in bullshit leprechaun fairy tales, in which case you may consider spring to begin when the Earth’s Southern Hemisphere is still aimed at the sun.

Ask a grown up ditch the fairy stories and to read a book about space to you. Something might find it’s way in if they read it often enough.

You really are as thick as pig-shite. What a do-nut.

Like you and I have been saying, we are no nearer finishing or forgetting Brexit than we have ever been.
Why on earth does anyone actually think we will be nearer a solution post next GE. Only possible chance of that is if Corbyn has a landslide victory, then he can negotiate a better deal, get it through parliament, hold a confirmatory vote with people, get it through HoL.... For Corbyn thats just a few days.... (I, m being sarcastic if you hadnt guessed)...
Its all a joke.

it's the tories who want it to avoid the amendments to their WAB.
If they get to around 300-320 seats, the conservative party will still be controlled by the 28 members of the ERG, the consequence of that is they'll say we are not paying the divorce bill and UK will fall off the cliff in January.
If the party wins more than 350 seats, then we heading for a planned brexit and have WTO brexit in 2021.
The only way the UK gets a trade deal is to have JC in No 10.
Remainers have lost.
Unless ofcourse we get pretty much same as now... There is no way BJ will get over 350.
For life of me I cant understand why, yet again, remainers arent actually getting any party to represent them. Corbyn is half heartedly supporting remain, but he really doesnt stand a chance.

The more northerly one goes the shorter the growing season and the more acutely the farmers look towards the growing season. Before accurate mechanical clocks were devised ,the Lunar calendar and linked with the Winter and summer solstices were the measure. Your second paragraph has in one sentence offended perhaps a billion Muslims for whom the Lunar calendar is their measure.
If one was as far south as Rome, one might use a later date ..say the middle of the Month to identify the seasons. ..hence Ides of March etc.
If you had anything approaching courtesy, you might have acknowledged that according to my calendar, I was,and am correct.
Now I choose not to use excrement as measure of worth... Freud had a lot to say on the subject..as apparently have you.

Like the rest of my post, the second paragraph is correct, the moon has negligible affect on the seasons. That’s just the way it is. My gardening boots have negligible affect on the seasons too, and there’s nowt I can do about it.


You’ve clearly run out of mistakes and incompetence and now you have diverted your focus onto myth, superstition and magic. Give it up before you make an even bigger fool of your.

"Lunar calendars are irrelevant, just like you and your knowledge." ...that is the offending piece to Muslims.
Years ago I came across as saying .. "when the finger points to the Moon, the fool looks to the finger. "... Suits you.

As you are completely aware and fully understand, my reference to the moon / Lunar calendar being irrelevant was in the context of its physical affect on the seasons. Instead, you chose to pretend that I was offending Muslims, which, as if anymore examples were needed, provides another illustration of your stupidity.

Just admit it, you’ve got it wrong again. It’s nothing unusual, we are used to it.
