    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Slightly curious. Tommie was posting every few minutes about the growth in the Westminster petition about exiting without a deal , which operated some weeks ago.,and is still live. He has made little comment about this one which at 5 million is 10 times larger.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I would not make any assumptions that an extension beyond April 12 ,even if the UK agrees to hold elections ,is assured. Comments made after the summit indicate that the concession was hard won.

    Thank you... That is normally how laws are enacted. A due date is specified ,and wriggle room allowed. Would the term SI refer to the actual issuing of the due date,and signed by the Minister. Any modification to that Act , including issuing a regulation must surely require a notification to...

    Taken from todays Irish Times,by Fintin O'Toole... "As we take our seats yet again on the great Brexit merry-go-round, I have been thinking of the elegant, high-backed chairs in a dining room 15 miles south of Belfast. They are in Mount Stewart, the big house on Strangford Lough. But you can...

    Defending it?. It might be better to read what I wrote. Actually it turns out that the French Minister, was telling it as a joke. She does not have a cat, but the analogy is superb... As those of us who have cats can appreciate.
