    If your 1984 reference had been self-explanatory, it wouldn't have been necessary for you to explain it.

    I've explained my train of thought in a PM.

    I am not happy that upon engaging and clicking "Made me laugh" on billybondsbeard's post, I have been relegated to "1 other!"

    If I scream to the top of my lungs,stamp my feet in a very anger manner and say pretty please with sugar on top, will I be promoted and be able to stand along side everybody else?

    Sometimes I think I'm just too good to you lot... ;wink

    Yippee!!!! Does this mean that I don't have to scream and shout now? Hahaha

    I am a little more concerned with the increased number of UFO reports..there actually clear photographs all over social media showing strange craft and alleged actual aliens... but this story is scary , if true

    A quick Google suggests that Tyler Glockner aka Secureteam10 is regarded as a hoaxer even by those who believe that "the truth is out there" and not a particularly good one either, he gets some basic astronomy wrong.

    However I'm sure he isn't too worried, he gets a nice little pay off from the gullible journalists at the Daily Express etc., every time you play one of his YouTube videos or go to one of his websites he gets paid by his advertisers and he's sells ST10 merchandise.

    Maybe something I might look into to supplement my pension after I retire....

    I assumed had Junker said that (albeit another reason to leave) it would have been
    headline news..I have watched some ST10 bulletins and have left me thinking we are in some kind of parallel universe....but I was amused to think ..Aliens interested in Brexit?? Really?

    ID - and we thought it was the Chinese buying all those luxury flats "off plan", maybe Foxton's have opened an Alpha Centuri branch.

    They've got a branch in Peckham which frankly seems less believable.

    Rumours of May calling an early General Election. ;hmm

    What a surprise. She doesn't want to have anything to do with the whole mess that has been started.

    Lib Dems pretty much sure to campaign on a no-Brexit platform. Will be interesting to see how that pans out.

    It's got to get through parliament first and there'll be a lot of MPs who vote against it as they fear they'll lose their seats.

    Back in December, Corbyn said Labour would support an early GE.

    Edit: And has just confirmed it again.

    Well this is going to be fun, there's not enough time to repeal the Fixed Term Parliaments Act 2011 so she either needs a two third majority to vote for an early election or there are two votes of "no confidence" in 14 days.

    Two thirds would be 434, the Tories only have 330 MPs, between them the Lib Dems, SNP, etc. only have 91 including the Speaker, if Labour refuse to play ball then then Theresa May is going to have to vote twice that she has no confidence in her own leadership!!

    Beeee-zar

    Corbyn is backing the early election so that's saved May an embarrassing situation
  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    I'm not sure who is going to be embarrassed, Labour need to get their act together if we are to have anything other than another Tory win.
  • ASLEFshruggedASLEFshrugged
    Suze - you don't think Theresa May having to vote that she had no confidence in her own leadership wouldn't have been a tad embarrassing?

    Stupidest thing May could do. Talk about giving UKIP a foothold, this has played right into their hands.
  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    Oh I do, yes.

    Without meaning to sound too selfish, this is another inset day I now need to find childcare for when the school turns into a polling station... ;hmm
  • YeoldhammerYeoldhammer
    Voting days aren't inset days though are they ? O_o
  • grey_til_I_dyegrey_til_I_dye
    Yeold

    No, but the effect is the same for parents, since the school is closed.
  • YeoldhammerYeoldhammer
    So the NI problem is put back I guess with another GE
    SNP get a chance to hammer home IndyRef2 consolidating another GE

    Labour in Turmoil / Lib Dems riding on Brexit

    Conservatives taking a gamble but pretty much throwing away the Union imo to do it.

    Not really, UKIP's numbers have been dropping ever since the Referendum, since the beginning of March they've averaged 10.6%, 2% down on 2015 but almost half what they were getting n June last year.
