There is nothing to be glib a about/ The only thing being lost is democracy. Vote leave won and before it is even carried out it is being eroded. backed by the BBC channel 4 and Sky

I'm very glib, thank you very much. Parliament doing what May should have done 2 and a half years ago, rather than pandering to the right just to try to keep the Tories together. Parliamentary democracy at its best.
O and one other thing, she's lost 3 more ministers who now don't have to vote how they're told

No Dazza, this is the real petition to Leave without a deal

Second referendum on its way

I shouldn't get too excited. They reckon the indicative votes will be inconclusive and result in more stalemate.

They're not legally binding anyway

Fortunately governments don't take a blind bit of notice of petitions

.... and Parliament doesn't take a blind bit of notice of narrowly won referendums with undefined outcomes

Anyway, if no option gets a majority and Parliament still can't decide..... they'll have to go back to the people

They reckon between 312,000 and 400,000 attended the march in London on Saturday.

1 million!

. More Remain lies

Easier counting Nigel's parade. Wouldn't even run out of fingers

Anyway back to the main story, how's No Deal Brexit going? Feeling confident?

Ah, yes, the desperate attempt to move the narrative from a massive turn out (versus the tiny number on Nigel's March) to "Remain lies".

What those claims *don't* say is that the estimate of "400,000" was a *snapshot* based on the number of people who could be seen in the helicopter fly-over. It doesn't include the people who were in side streets or taking short cuts or who joined later or left early.

Or, to put it in scientific terms: Flow = Volume * Time, ie measuring the number of people who pass a certain point over the duration of the march.

Yes we popped into two side street pubs during the march, which were packed. Then rejoined the march further down.

.. and anyway, it doesn't matter what they think, because the nasty mainstream media has said it was 'over a million', and that's what the majority of the public will believe

YamFazFan · « **Reply #2739 on:** 26 March 2019, 02:04:02 pm »

Who cares if it was 1 million, 2 million, 10 million or 1 man & his dog

This thread has become incredibly boring. Just the same old bickering over and over the same old themes.

Wake me up when it's all over

That could be some time....

In fact the DUP are now saying that they don't mind if the date is delayed by a year.....

So Sleeping Beauty

OK then, there was only a third of the number they claim was there. More project fear from Remain.

Here we go again

Another doozy from the EU EU plans speed-limiting technology for new cars from 2022

All new cars could be fitted with special devices from 2022 to automatically make them keep to the speed limit after new EU rules were provisionally agreed.

cars will also be fitted with compulsory data recorders "black boxes". So if you have an accident, the police and your insurance company will know whether you've been keeping your foot down and routinely ignoring the car's warnings.

I thought modern cars already had this technolgy. Recently saw a program which involved a crash in Ontario, and the cops just plugged in their laptop and knew the speed of the vehicle on impact and whether it was braking or not. Mentioned it to a pal who is a Volvo service manager, and apparently Volvo's have this facility.

Yes Ford, Mercedes-Benz, Peugeot-Citroen, Renault and Volvo already have models available with some of the technology fitted.

Yes and you have just debunked your own argument about all the remain scare mongering about the environment, crime detection, workers rights, food safety. As with the cars here ,after brexit the UK simply can agree / decide to adopt them.
