gbh2: Broadband development over the last 25+ years has been truly piecemeal! Thanks for your info.

HoC: . . . . Good old Sir Oliver Letwin "King" for the Day. Exciting times. TRUE Democratic proceedings.

You ask if any of the motions to be put to’Indicative vote’ that are popular in Parliament will be compatible with the Conservative or labour Manifestos. Sadly it has become completely clear that a geat number of the MPs of both parties, from the top downwards in both cases, pay little attention now to what they undertook when they asked people to vote for them. The Government in particular is now proceeding on the basis of a totally false prospectus.

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.

[polar fox] 27/3/2019 13:13

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 .

[bbalanjones] 27/3/2019 13:04

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?
