He's impossible to get rid of. Every time he resigns he pops back up again like a nightmare. Maybe we could get the Met police to shoot him. .

Not if 3 times is actually passed as law, like the 5 year general election rule is now. Easily done and a much better system, since there wouldn't be one side against the other. Just a majority over time wanting to Leave without remainers voting to stop that. Therefore no friction with the...

No, 51% or more would be their will, a true majority. That's why in many referenda worldwide that is set as the pass mark. .

I see no reason why not. It could be a second ballot slip at the time of general elections, asking, should we continue with EU membership. Three consecutive No's over three five year terms for example triggering Leave. Sounds good to me, plenty of thinking time and no chance of 15 year long...

No it was not even the will of the voting public, 38%, remember? .

So you don't believe in five yearly general elections. Once the people have spoken it's final? .

I'm not changing th rules and not even asking to change the rules. I'm simply pointing out the unassailable fact that 38% of the electorate do not express the will of the people, so I object to that being said. It is a lie. 38% expressed the will of a little over a third of the electorate...

Come off it, 11 to 16 year olds frightened by a cyclist wearing a face mask? No way, that suggestion is a joke, the majority of them being teenagers as likely to be frightening to other people. I'm betting a single pupil complained to the head teacher who then overreacted well beyond her...

I'm not being ridiculous, almost half of that turnout was to Remain. Its total turnout size is immaterial since turnouts do not elect, majorities do. What matters is that at 38% far below half the electorate voted to leave, so leaving is emphatically not the will of the people. Those who...

Don't worry, the officer will not punished, the threat of that is just for public consumption to satisy the naysayers. There's been a long history of threats to punish officers of the Met fo killing, including some court cases in the worst cases, but they have never succeeded. That include...

Even if all the "Can't Vote" are left out, those who voted leave are still only 38% of the electorate, so 62% have not opted to leave the EU. Whatever way one looks at this, Leave is not the will of the people. .

Which of course is why our establishment have always rejected suggestions that we should have a written constitution. Being able to freely abuse the people suits them just fine, and it's why they also want to get rid of the Human Rights Act and the power of the ECJ. Yet ordinary people voted...

It's worked, the Met has slashed the number of incidents of this phone snatching by moped riders. As far as I'm concerned they can carry on knocking them off their mopeds. I very much doubt the officer will be punished in any way since he was using official policy tactics. .

Just been listening to a new angle on this via long experienced hardened newsmen, Based on the surprising level of confidence from Theresa May and sidekicks, they have a theory that it stems from an unannounced but EU approved plan B that will be submitted when the House kicks out her deal as...

Ah, but I'm as scruffy as him, my habitual footwear is as non-U as his hush puppies and I do drink my coffee Turkish style, as sweet as nectar, as black as the night and as hot as hell. So I still bags the role. :p .

I'm not so sure, the level of intellect sounds about right for her. .

Apparently it's meaningless according to constitutional experts. Although parliament is sovereign over government in our unwritten constitution, there is no prescribed punishment so the government can just soldier on. This time though they have conceded to the demand behind the no confidence...

I bags Ken Clarke. .

That's really annoying. I wish the cycle industry would stop continuously bringing in new headstock and crank variations, there's far too many already. .

What makes me think your thank you was sarcastic? :rolleyes: .
