the day after the deadline: can the union survive brexit and other deep questions

(xp) No thanks to selfish cunts in Scotland, eh?

explain why ye allow filibustering again

one of our troglodytes tried it a few weeks ago against the abortion bill and the ceann comhairle rather bemusedly told him we didnt allow that then had him fucked out

I have a question about incitement laws because I'm not clear about this. If somebody said that Philip Davies and whoever that other cunt was should be brutally murdered that would probably be incitement right? Just wondering.

I think that most human beings agree that upskirting is abusive and grim and this is the one thing everyone was supposed to agree on and it's just terrible PR for the Tories for their MP and to be the one to torpedo it on an abstract point of principle (yeah right).

explain why ye allow filibustering again

I don’t really understand this either? I would have thought it had been cracked down on after Parnell et al successfully obstructed legislation this way (yeeeeo) but why turn down a useful tool I guess? Funny that we don’t allow it though!

Procedures committee did recommend banning it fwiw.

Chope was apparently unaware of what ‘upskirting’ is and also shouted down a bill making it an offence to attack police dogs and horses so I assume he just objects to new laws in general - though that libertarianism obviously doesn’t extend to gay marriage, etc.

what a complete *character*! I bet they have a good laugh about their day's deeds in the subsidised Westminster bars.

Explanation of general opposition to private members’ bills doesn’t wash, there’s a lot of previous.

The government’s opposition to cannabis oil is ridiculous and should hurt them.

I’ve written to the Home Secretary urging him to allow legal prescriptions of cannabis oil for medical purposes.

As a parent who lost a son to intractable epilepsy, I'm speaking out in the hope that further deaths can be avoided & families are spared the pain of losing a child. pic.twitter.com/KXee732n1W

Charlotte Caldwell is incredible.

a handful of deaths is a small price to pay to prevent millions from getting the munchies

LOL @ this utter dickhead

As a regular reader of the home of conservatism, the comments on that Nicky Morgan article are unreal even by their standards.

After PM's speech with no wifi here's short version - 1. NHS getting a lot of extra £££ in exchange for reform 2. PM won't say who specifically is going to pay 3. No 10 stands by claim that Brexit dividend can be source of some of £££, uncertain at best, misleading at worst

— Laura Kuenssberg (@bbclaurak) June 18, 2018

And we know what reform means.

uncertain at best, misleading at worst

That'll be her told, Laura.

fuck me, as an ex-epileptic and with another ex-epileptic in the house, I'm thinking it is a good job ppl don't use Epilim or Tegretol as recreational drugs. Although I used to enjoy getting pissed on 2 cans when I was on Tegretol!

You have to spell it out to appreciate the enormity: this government would rather people die than risk an increase in access to a very accessible non-lethal substance. You'd think some public-spirited journalist might want to make big deal of that.

this is good news, I think. But I had a verbal blast at an MS nurse last week who tried to say the criteria for the mobility element of PIP had changed and was encouraging the partner to apply to an MS charity for a mobility scooter rather than re-apply for PIP. I told her she was talking crap and the downright arbitrary and dishonest nature of PIP assessments isn't a criteria ffs!

LOL the United Kingdom...

tbh I wouldn't mind seeing the breakup of the UK after Brexit either, maybe I'd move to Scotland if they'd let me

I wonder if this has sunk into the Rees Noggin yet, probably not - he much prefers the art of speaking over listening!

I wouldn't recommend living in Scotland if NI leaves the UK, just imagine the influx of Loyalist cunts that would ensue.

oh god *shudder*

The Final Solution!

"the benefits of brexit"

I wouldn't recommend living in Scotland if NI leaves the UK, just imagine the influx of Loyalist cunts that would ensue.

Would this still happen if Scotland was independent? Wouldn't they move to England in that scenario?

xpost was gonna ask..

Do Rangers play in England?

They're "Ulster Scots", they hate the English.

They don't *play* in Scotland tbf

"Do Rangers play in England?"

it's bad enough when they are taking some of our average to mediocre EFL L2 young talent up to Scotland!

As a regular reader of the home of conservatism, the comments on that Nicky Morgan article are unreal even by their standards.

wow, yes!

"It says it all, really, that an older male Tory MP should object to outlawing a sexual crime which makes use of twenty-first century technology."

What a vile woman, trying to score points for your libtard agenda by smearing a colleague. "

"WOW!
Actually be careful here. Out in the middle of nowhere - in other words north of Watford - things are changing fast. Our town ((Wisbech) is now Baltic. Peterborough centre and Mall are now more foreign than Dubai (I mean this).
I speak to local people and, secretly, we find homosexuality (most of the people I speak to are my age - 70s) embarrassing and something that should not be paraded about. We also are concerned about fussy government interfering with our lives. The women I speak to think that permissiveness on MTV and so on has gone too far. "

"If the NHS needs funding then use our Overseas Aid budget. Which idiot thought up the idea to give Rwanda £62M so they could give £30M to Arsenal football club. Come back Farage. Who on earth would vote for this bunch?"

---

"We should all be prepared to abstain or vote tactically at the next general election if there is not a full and complete Brexit."

---

"That's a good enough reason not to. The Sun warned against Labour being led by a Gay Mafia when the right-on Blair took over and filled his Cabinet with homosexuals, but they would have nothing on the new, modern "Conservative" party. "

omg yes the septugenarian homophobe was the one I was thinking of. They’re always going on about how they hate Cameron and how everyone to the left of JRM is a Lib Dem.

Libtard!

I haven't seen MTV written down for eons.

Takes a very impressive mindset to believe that the over 70s should be at the heart of social policy

ws...laws...laws...control...control....control....
Ms Morgan loves the above.
The BBC upskirts on Prime Time TV to the entire world for two weeks every summer.
It's called Wimbledon.

Surely in this era of feminism, all females should be able to look after themselves just as men do. Why should they need special laws applicable only to their sex, we are all equal now.

luv2be concerned about fussy government interfering in our lives but also want to regulate how much homosexuality is allowed to be displayed in public

We should poll some of these takes tbh.

In Grantham, I hear as many Polish speakers as English. But my Polish neighbours are friendly and the Latvian's ain't bad.
The town is a hotbed of homosexuality. We are run by a gay mafia. Mr Boles is the Mp, the council leader is gay and I suspect the deputy is too. The bishop is also gay, as am I.
Of course, safer to be in the countryside than in Islamic Leicester.

In the birthplace of the Blessed Margaret no less!

Latvians: a not bad bunch of lads

Latvian's - so just the one Latvian then.

haha! that is amazing. brb, moving to Grantham.

brb, moving to Grantham doesn't make any sense :/

I recently heard Grantham is a bit moribund these days.

are you sure that wasn't about Leslie Grantham?

ah! that was the one!

Dead as German taxi driver.
