    This Tory Govt are a shambles. They’ve been in power now for far too long. We’ve had 9 years of them in various forms and they’re starting to rot. Earlier today that utter pig of a man “Boris” Johnson said the most disgraceful thing on live radio while talking about the investigation into child sex abuse.

    • I watched the voting live and a motion for extension of the leave date was defeated, which was a good sign.
      Anyway these proceedings are particularly Byzantine, and deliberately made hard to interpret.

      • It is very hard to follow. But I’m afraid you got lost somewhere along their twisted path (I don’t blame you) They weren’t voting on a motion to delay. That vote takes place after a debate on it today. Take a quick look at the front page of Telegraph

        • I don’t find it at all entertaining, although it’s certainly a spectacle of horror-politics, which is straining the ability of “The Truman Show” to maintain the pretense that democracy is in any way real.

    What’s just happened in Parliament is that *leave without a Deal* has been voted down.
    Theresa May’s *Deal* was defeated (heavily) last night.
    It looks like they *will* be asking for a delay to *Brexit* but as I say that gets decided tomorrow.
    BG

    • But the parliamentary vote has no legal effect. “Leave without a deal” is still what’s going to happen on 29Mar19 unless a deal is signed, or a delay is agreed.

      • That’s true, but lets get “What the debate and vote were about” sorted out before we even get into the intricasies of what it *means*
        The actual In / Out Referendum was *only advisory* too don’t forget.
        As Dana says below it’s *Bysantine* and that’s being polite.

    Hey Dana. I know it’s very complicated but that’s not exactly what’s just happened. The *delaying* debate / vote takes place tomorrow.

    When you say “I find it hard to believe this isn’t happening” you’re allowing yourself (if you’ll forgive me) to be a victim of a lying article.
    Mel Gibson DID NOT say any of this…therefore whatever *is* happening *THIS* ISN’T HAPPENEING.

    This is taken from an article on the clickbait website NewsPunch (formerly YourNewsWire)
    Therefore it’s not true.
    If you can find another (non clickbait) source where Mel Gibson says this I’ll buy you a speedboat and a private lake to go with it.

    Because I’;m not a US citizen, a lot of this “Q-anon” stuff goes right over my head. I’ve no way of knowing if it’s true or not, but I can say that 50 seconds in = that’s not the Scottish Pariament’s front door.

    That’s my point. The article *infers* it’s just garbage. It’s trying to link Trumps Wall to abortion law in New York to something called the *Pan American Criminal Cartel* (with capital letters as if it’s a proper noun) without any actual facts. It’s just word salad.
