| Quote: bren2k "Interesting development - the Tories wheel out their grandstanding AG to yell at the opposition benches like a low-rent Brian Blessed in an am-dram production, defending the fact that he has put his party in contempt of Parliament by refusing to publish the full version of his legal advice, because it's "not in the public interest." A cross-party group responds by tabling a motion of contempt, and the speaker grants it time - so the Tories use parliamentary jiggery-pokery to have it kicked into the long grass.
This is desperate stuff - and for a party who claimed to want to take back sovereignty of the HoP, they're doing a pretty good job of riding roughshod over its powers in a desperate attempt to cling on to office.
Meanwhile, Ministers have been briefed to visit foodbanks, and duly do so over the weekend, posing for pictures like ghoulish trophy hunters and using copy/pasted 'approved' text to publicise their support for a societal ill that their own policies created. We really are living in the most turgid political period in living memory - I'm embarrassed to be part of it.'"
In what way are you part of it? If as a by bystander then either emigrate or try to do something about it.

| So for the first time in history this government are in contempt of parliament, what a sorry state of affairs for our democracy!
What I found equally baffling was there was a female M.P. on the opposition benches nursing a toddler, is that a thing?
Anyhow, I still have a sneaky feeling May's deal will get through eventually, leaving everyone unhappy - oh the joy.

| I voted to leave the EU, however I've now changed my mind. I think the EU and our country is in need of major reforms, and Brexit was an opportunity to to deliver that change on both fronts, but instead of approaching this as an opportunity, all involved have approached this whole thing as a damage limitation exercise where we end up with a deal where even the people who negotiated it don't want it. The EU have shown themselves to be the greedy bullies that they always have been, and our government have shown themselves to be the bumbling baffoons they've always, and our democracy has become a shambles, and our government has become a diplomatic laughing stock.

The Rugby Football League are in the process of reviewing the video that you are referring to. We do not condone behaviour of this nature and have contacted the player’s employer, Hull F.C., who have confirmed that they are dealing with the incident under their club rules.

In other words excellent negotiators, imagine what USA and the other countries will do to us when they realise we’re desperate.
Chlorinated chicken anyone?

Come on, we are all "part of it" by electing a government on the "austerity ticket".
We may not all have voted for the Tories but, within a democracy "we" are all responsible for it.
Would decent people emigrating help the situation or, reduce the need for food banks ? NO
We should all be equally embarrased and ashamed that there has been such an increase in the need for people to have to use food banks.
The rolling out of Universal Credit an its shocking implementation of this system is downright appalling and to ask people with very little money to manage on ZERO income for 6,8,10 weeks is a fecking disgrace and WE should all be appalled.

Well, according to Greece, 'nobody negotiates with the EU'

Well take to the streets of London and protest. Nothing freaks the establishment like a large scale, unruly demo. Macron has caved in in France. Maggie caved in over poll tax.

Unfortunately (or fortunately), there are only a few thousand people affected by the Universal Credit roll out, therefore, there are unlikely to be mass protests but, that doesn't make it right.
The poll tax affected pretty much everyone (although a few were in fact better off) can you spot the difference.

if there is another referendum it will question the democratic vote simple as and any political decision will be arguably questionable until the mob gets its way, we will might as well be state run

Really? We voted to leave on a tide of anti-European vitriol & abuse. We now want to keep the best bits & are surprised & offended when the EU stand by their principles. So we spew out more anti-European & personal vitriol & abuse.

My assumption was that you were not necessarily directly affected but outraged. If that's the case you could do something about it rather than simply tapping on a keyboard to pretend you care.

Oh, I get it, this is no longer a forum for expressing views on certain subjects, it no a platform to provoke a march against government policy ??
If there is a march/protest against Universal Credit, you may well see me there.

This Government, not the EU, has destroyed our health system.
This Government, not the EU, has destroyed our social services.
This Government, not the EU, has destroyed our education system.
This Government, not the EU, has destroyed our public transport system.
This Government, not the EU, has destroyed our public utilities.
This Government, not the EU, are destroying our police & armed forces.
FYI we do not elect our own PM.

Compared to how much say we get in selecting our all-powerful and non-removable EU Presidents, we practically hand-pick our PMs and drop them off at No.10 with a packed lunch.
