About 4.30pm

[8ball]

Oh, def gonna be watching that.

 

[Pickman's model]

Oh, def gonna be watching that.

might stay at work and watch

 

[equationgirl]

I wonder if there will be chants of 'BORIS BORIS BORIS, OUT OUT OUT' in the House today?

 

[belboid]

About 4.30pm

Wont be until at least five. Gove hasn't finished yet, and raab still has to make a statement on Iran which will probably take at least an hour. More likely closer to half five.

 

[Teaboy]

Not sure there will be much to be gained from listening to any more of them. The defence of the ruling yesterday has been gone over several times.

Our actions were fine in what was the previous understanding of the law. The court has taken it upon themselves to redefine the law and reinterpret it. That's OK from now on but our decisions previously were fine. Business as usual. If the opposition have a problem with this they should get on board with a general election.

Its the same line virtually every tory has come out with today.

Surreal.

 

[Teaboy]

Surreal.

Indeed but so is virtually every aspect of it now so its just more of the same.

 

[8ball]

Quite inventive silliness, though.
"Oh, we accept it's illegal now that you've looked at the books, but we did it before that, so it wasn't illegal or legal at that point".

Previously the legal status of their actions were in an indeterminate quantum state.

Some excellent use of 'yeah but the opposition are too chicken to call an election' in parliament today, including as a response to a question about how 100,000 in grant money for UK businesses went to an American company run by a mate of Johnson's.

That is how the law sort of works though, in a common law system.

I think it keeps getting pushed back. They just mentioned 5 or even 6 oclock or later on the BBC feed I just tuned into (and quickly tuned out of!)

Schrodinger's, um, law?

Not for the rest of us: ignorance of the law is no excuse even in relation to 'new' case law.

 

[equationgirl]

BoJo is bound to bottle it.

 

[Proper Tidy]

Attorney general Geoffrey Cox leading the charge:

‘the time is coming when even these turkeys (remain MP’s) won’t be able to prevent Christmas’.

Errrr

 

[8ball]

BoJo is bound to bottle it.

No sign of him so far...

 

[Marty1]

Exactly. Even the government knows no deal would be a disaster.

It’s a 5 page incredulous report made up by a few officials on request by Philip Hammond and others to have a wild guess at what the worst case scenario could entail in the event of a no deal Brexit.

Remain supporters/media/ MP’s however are treating Yellowhammer as a holy verse.

 

[Proper Tidy]

If the analogy was turkeys resisting christmas then...

What are you on about now?

 

[8ball]

Has anyone else noticed that quite a few people (not just on here) have got a bit confused about what the word "incredulous" means?

 

[8ball]

I'm a bit bemused by the fact that the chamber is two thirds empty.

 

[belboid]

I refuse to believe that

 

[StoneRoad]

Maybe there are a lot of "private" meetings going on in the surrounding areas ...

Must be some planning going on (I hope)

Will start filling up when Johnson leaves Downing St. Expected within the hour. Has been overrunning. Gove still.

[equationgirl]

I really hope she said that Wales tells Boris to go fuck himself.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Lol

For the benefit of the tiny number of urbz who do not speak Welsh, what does that say?

 

[8ball]

Ah, those people that Eton alumni refer to as “the bloody Welsh”.

Tell me Einstein, how do you think things are going to go at Dover or Folkestone or any other major port the day after a no-deal Brexit? Whaddayareckon?
