As May and Starmer have already said the Conservatives and Labour parties will not be bound by the outcome, and no-one in the Remain cabal organising the vote have bothered to ask the EU whether they would accept the options the whole thing seems odd – probably some the EU would accept but at a stiff and unknown price. And one option to hold a second referendum isn’t even an outcome at all, just a process, what would the referendum question be ?. I conclude that MPs have insufficient information on any of the options to know what they are voting for and so, following Remain doctrine, we can ignore the votes entirely.

Parliament today is in danger of losing control

By JOHNREDWOOD | Published: MARCH 27, 2019

The decision to have a series of indicative votes on certain backbench motions chosen by the Speaker may not produce the happy consensus its proponents wish. To many in the country it will look like a group of Remain voting MPs canvassing support for delay, dilution or cancellation of Brexit amongst themselves. MPs can vote for any number of the approved motions so the numbers will be quite difficult to interpret. Will any of the popular ones in Parliament be compatible with the Conservative or Labour Manifesto,with what the EU might accept and with the overriding promise to implement the results of the referendum? If the options are mainly variants of staying in much of the EU , allowing MPs to vote for several of these options at the same time will give the impression of even more Parliamentary support for failing to implement Brexit.

He's a nice chap but a one day PM isn't really worth all the aggro.

Worth noting this tweet from Tom ND - if a lot of Tories choose not to vote at 7pm, it could seriously undermine the whole exercise:

One pro-deal Tory backbencher tells me he won't vote at all tonight, because none of the 16 options appeal to him. Says quite a few like him. A Tory mass abstention is the big flaw to the Letwin plan, as will mean any consensus is impossible to identify.

gbh2: Are there any Broadband contracts without "Hire" of Landline? Currently use Virgin for Broadband.

PS Just googled it and wonder when it changed? Will contact them.

Shares appear to be being bought back at the rate of 3.6 million a day at that rate it is going to take a long time to purchase £1.75 billion worth without using the calc that is over 2 billion shares. Large figures, are mine in line with them?
If they are sometime buying will have to increase.

"any views?"

Broadband connection, I mention it because it's the only thing I need a land line for .

Stoned: Saddo that I am I went back to PMQs. (On reflection i seem to get rather a lot of exercise twixt armchair and phone these days from similar lost causes.) Trying tracing is usually a waste of further time,

Reason tells me to get shut of landline as I use mobile far more. . . . any views?

Latest telephone scam this lunchtime to my landline . . . . . :-

Purporting to come from the HM Governments Ministry of Justice (In a foreign Voice)

"You have been awarded £300 pounds .blah . . .blah . . . .blah"

My expletives following are not for publication.

Do these conning Organisations know any bounds? , . . . . .

Edit: The gall of interrupting PMQs too!!!!

Banks have been bought during the past half-hour and it may be because TM referred to MV3 being held "this week" in PMQs. She may feel the numbers are or will be there tomorrow or Friday.

What society needs is the will to invest in what society truly benefits from. Holidays in the upper atmosphere and cars that continually go faster around and around are not getting us anywhere. There maybe tech developed as a consequence, but it generally doesn't beat tech developed within the objective to which it is being developed.

The question is whether the technology would still come irrespective of motorsport and I believe it would. Where a problem needs to be solved, and creates value to the seller, then investment would take place. Some technology is simply not needed. Take Dyson for example, the world would still vacuum its carpets if Dyson had never been born.

If their WA stand.. the Q is what's the point of negotiations wasting time.. get out now, no deal and have a deal after. If they had deliver the Brexit two years ago by now we will had a deal with Brussels.

[k38] 27/3/2019 12:13

JC nothing to say as usual..

[alphorn] 27/3/2019 12:13

I think that a lot of technology improvement comes from motorsport (in general). Just taking the evolution of the engine; not long ago it would explode if it got near the red line, now often there is no red line and even a humble family engine turns like a previously blue-printed race engine. Suspension, brakes with ventilated discs etc etc.
Then of course all the electronic sensors, etc etc.


edit: I agree Minerve about light bulbs; can be blinding.

"And that Merc you have on lease was developed by Mercedes through F1, hard to believe even a moron like you describes an F1 car as an oversized Go Kart."

Actually only a small fraction of technology comes from F1. That is just F1 propaganda. F1 is all about brand promotion, nothing more. Investment in tech is independent of F1. Some car manufacturers don't even bother with the stupid sport and have very good cars that compete technically.

My car is a diesel for a start! LOL
