As is often the case, my first exposure to this piece of current events fun and games was via satirical coverage. I now see the the Ecuadorians have indeed had a change of leadership and a change of heart and dear Julian has outstayed his welcome. Is it time to discuss the case again. Is he an arseh...

In a wild flight of fancy I considered what would happen if we applied some sort of voter political literacy test to a second referendum. Not that I'm suggesting that one side or the other were particularly more misinformed but it might be worth it to see the campaigns striving to correct any misgui...

If they can just spin it out for another decade maybe I can still retire to Spain?

HOT NEWS! "Uri Geller sends Theresa May BIZARRE Brexit warning." On Britain leaving the EU, Mr Geller wrote: “I feel psychically and very strongly that most British people do not want Brexit. “I love you very much but I will not allow you to lead Britain into Brexit. “As much as I admire you, I wil...

As legal tender it has a face value of 25p https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sovereign_(British_coin) Thought I'd check. 2 Grams of 22K Gold is currently worth £22.43. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quarter_sovereign.

A quite clever person looking at what May is doing might infer this motive. On the other hand, doing so could be described as Apophenia. Not giving up and plugging away a futile causes is kind of her schtick. I wouldn't reach for a more complex explanation than that.

We have clearly and decisively dismissed every possible way forward. A such we're now pressed into looking for a way backwards and asking for an extension. It seems that taking back control looks like demanding that the EU tell us exactly what sort of extension we will be allowed to have and to what...

So I would fully expect the final two options to be "declare war", and "bring back Only Fools and Horses"

McLaren ?

Yes I think it's more their actions than their expressions. The classic trope canine loyalty is of a faithful hound who on the death of his master pines away at their grave side. In the classic cat lady equivalent she's discovered three days later and the cat's have eaten her face.

Yes it's a game of chicken. Theresa is at the wheel of a magnificent Rolls Royce, sheer rock to the left, a cliff edge to the right. Voices from the back scream at her. Some ask her to simply stop, other insist the the the Rolls Royce is the best car in the world and the EU are bound to swerve. Othe...

Though it will never happen, worth noting the Leo Varadkar is encouraging Sinn Fein to take their seats.

I don't see he actually received any flak, all that happened was the people he intended to upset confirmed how butthurt they were.
