I'd be quite happy with us "politically" leaving but "legally" staying in forever tbh.
Indeed, why not just say we have left, issue Blue Passports and force everyone to eat Angel Delight once a week, but actually stay in?
Only if they bring back the butterscotch flavour. That was great.
Wait, it is no longer available?! Granted, it has been awhile since I had it, but it was the only flavour worth a damn. Particularly if you deliberately did not mix it fully so the top layer was all spongey.
Another thing which is hitting British TV hard is YouTube.
Indeed. I have a television. I have a laptop. I switch the laptop on and watch YouTube. I do not switch the television on any more. I'm genuinely thinking of taking it to the dump.
You could watch YouTube on your tv.
It's an old cheap TV. But it has given sterling service for over ten years and I will be sad to see it go. I know objects are not self-aware and it's not a good idea to anthropomorphise but, well...
I hate throwing away electrical stuff which still works and has given good service.
It just seems wrong.
I dunno about your manor, but in Camden we have a recycling centre where you can just go and leave functioning electrical equipment, and needier people can come and take it later, no questions asked. Seems very sensible to me. I agree it feels horrible to just chuck it.

Google tells me it is still available but I haven't seen it for years and I thought it had disappeared. I agree it was the best by far, the others being far too sweet.
The protestor is perfectly polite, makes no threatening moves, doesn’t throw an egg, she just makes the very arguable point that Soubry is a traitor for betraying the expressed will of the British people.
Just catching up. So an A50 extension is now nailed on?
I wouldn't put it that strongly, since the british are still vague about their actual plan and some members states have said they want to see a plan before extending, rather than just enabling infinite faffing. But it looks highly likely.
Gotta love the salt-of-the-earth, pukka working class names in that statement about Labour MPs.
Justin Madders, Emma Lewell-Buck, Yvonne Fovargue.
Probably all ex coal miners?
To be fair to Emma Lewell-Buck, she is from a working class background, and was a CP social worker in the north east, which isn't exactly a cushy number.
"From a family of shipyard workers..."
Don't be fooled by Uncle-Buck's double-barreledness, it is just one of those pretendy ones.
People seem to be doing this when they get married now. In fact, one of my colleagues and her husband blended their surnames together (to make a surname no one seems to be able to spell).
It seems to be a safeish principle now that double barrelled names can be associated with new Range Rover Evoques, children with unusual names (Jayleon or Chardonnay anyone), having a “nan” and and having dinner in the middle of the day.

Err no. The House of Commons wants one but it is not in their gift and the default remains a no deal Brexit exit despite the Commons voting against that too. It's beyond pathetic.

A NOW TV box lets you show YouTube (plus BBCi etc) - if you don't want the paid for channels you can have a free trial for two weeks and then cancel.

Good for him. I seem to recall he allowed people to get away with it once and was soundly mocked for it.
What a fucking hypocrite that excuse for a man is. He's never rebelled against the Labour whip has he?
We all know he has and that his demanding loyalty is hypocritical. But if you don't sack rebels from your ministerial or shadow ministerial team you look powerless. If he should ever be PM should he let Cabinet Ministers rebel because he used to vote against the government when he was a backbencher? Better a hypocrite than powerless.

They have to go the same way as mergers between accountancy firms or pharma companies and drop some of the names off the end. Or else look like a pair of bellends.
Simplest if you want to be gender egalitarian and right on is for all partners to keep the surname they were born with, and give their sons the mother's surname and their daughters their father's surname. If already landed with a daft double barrel you don't want drop it for your children.
For heaven's sake, if what they obtained was enough to persuade the DUP it would have worked already, torturing themselves by twisting in knots on legal arguments and interpretations and hypotheticals is not bringing anything new to the table, which is what they claim to need.
And that's assuming that anything could satisfy them, when it is perfectly possible nothing could.
It's just plain sad to watch. The hardcore ERGers and DUP are not suffering from a lack of comprehension of what the deal means or no deal means. However mistaken they may be they know what they are doing and what the potential cost is, constantly trying to explain it to them and beg is not persuasive to such people.

I think I am left hoping that the EU refuses an extension beyond May so as not to screw up the EU elections (which they insist are at least as important as the Eurovision Song Contest, despite all the evidence to the contrary) so that our crappy politicians are forced to make their bloody minds up. At this point even forcing a decision to revoke would at least be a decision. A treacherous, dishonest, undemocratic and cowardly decision but a decision none the less. Anything is better than more months of this.

I fear the EU prefers an easy way out to any alternative as well, so will open with a four year offer or something, and be talked down to a couple of years or something.
Only the DUP switching to deal can avoid an extension now (and even that not guaranteed given the Bigfoot like nature of rumoured Labour rebels who would be needed, and no reverse switchers), and the problem is they know it and don't care what happens either way.

I think I would honestly prefer revocation to a 2 year extension. The economic damage of 2 more years of complete uncertainty would make a no deal Brexit look like a minor hiccup.
These are people who think leaving the EU is not really leaving the EU. Fiddling about with complex legal minutiae is not about to convince them. It feels more like a punishment for Cox from May: "Alright, you weren't convinced my deal was legally good enough? Well then, how about you get to spend the evening with Dodds and Cash for the next 4 nights talking about Brexit legal issues?"
She's too powerless to sack anybody, but that's even worse as punishments go.
Revocation is logical for ERGers, as - presuming Hard Brexit is off the table - it allows the country to regain the leverage lost when it exercised A50.
Instead the U.K. can act like a mentally unwell tenant of the EU until they are begging us to leave at terms advantageous to us.
Coincidentally the last thing I watched was Top Gear. But before that I think it might have been around Christmas that I last watched normal TV. I regularly go months between "turning the TV on".
Year before last my aerial cable was damaged, and I never got around to fixing it. Realised eventually I never watched the TV at all, and then cancelled my licence.
Prime+netflix is only £176/year total, and there's more there than I could ever watch.
Prime and Netflix are far greater value for money than the BBC. The BBC needs to evolve or die, either go commercial or subscription. If the BBC disappeared tomorrow it would barely affect my TV experiences.
If forced to give up either the BBC or Netflix/Prime, I would reluctantly let the BBC go. That’s how bad it is for them.
Luckily I can afford both. Most can’t. Especially as many are also paying for Sky to watch sports.
The annoying thing is that even if we don't want the BBC drivel that they come up with, if we want to watch Sky we have to pay for the BBC still.
With so many choices on offer like Sky, Virgin, BT, Prime and Netflix . . . the BBC is simply antiquated and poor value for money. Its defenders love it, great they can choose to get it, but why should the rest of us be compelled by law to pay for BBC simply as we want to watch Sky live?
In a couple of years time we'll be able to pay to stream sports live whether it be via Sky or another broadcaster and many more will find no reason left anymore to pay the telly tax.
He should have resigned over Worboys. I had a bet on him as next out, scuppered by bloody Rudd iirc
If Gauke etc leave, so should Barclay and the clowns who voted against the Government motion to extend Brexit.
Christ, if cabinet ministers are going to resign just for being a clown we would run out of options. We are scraping the bottom of a sad barrel as it is.

Gauke is one of the very few ministers I have encountered over the years (and I have encountered many) who actually understood his brief. He’s a very intelligent guy, and therefore has no place in this cretinous administration.
