    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

          • The government has said a bill to stop a no-deal Brexit will complete its passage through the Lords on Friday.
            The proposed legislation was passed by MPs on Wednesday, inflicting a defeat on Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
            There were claims pro-Brexit peers could deliberately hold up the bill so it could not get royal assent before Parliament is prorogued next week.
            But the Conservative chief whip in the Lords announced a breakthrough in the early hours after talks with Labour.
            All aimed at preventing a no-deal Brexit.

            • Er, I'm not at all sure (UK constitution being as inscrutable as ever) but I think Johnson may have just screwed over parliament but royally. If I understood the amendment correctly, parliament may have just stuck itself with May's deal. If so, Johnson gets his exit, with deal, and rids his party of a lot of dead weight. Then gets the election he seems to want, with the brexit party sidelined.

                It is true that nobody has been able to improve on May’s deal. A no-deal Brexit is considered by most to be extremely unsatisfactory. What remains of the Conservative Party is hideously right wing and they may have made themselves unelectable. We might see a Labour-Lib.Dems coalition emerge to unify the country again.

                • No exactly what I was getting at - there was a specific amendment passed yesterday. Eh, let me look it up and get back to you.

                      What a ringing endorsement "Reasonable facsimile."





                      I realize you probably weren't endorsing per se. I'm just saying that nobody would use that descriptive quote in an advertising campaign.


                      Well, except maybe in satire. I could see the old Futurama cartoon having a billboard with that slogan next to a head shot of someone trying to fake a smile and a desperate pleading look in the eyes.

                      I'm always still in trouble again

                        I appreciate the review - not compelled at this point to attempt this.

                            The Feef (fake beef) could be tainted with nanobots planted by Vegan borgs.

                            We need to keep an eye out on brother Piggy. Make sure he doesn't start ranting about saving the planet and "meat is murder" and needing a safe space. If he starts promoting facon, we need to put him out of his misery.

                              I've been doing the part-time vegan thing for 11 years now.

                              I'm not even a big fan of actual bacon. Why would I bother with a worse substitute?
