I went to the European Parliament in Brussels yesterday. I made my protest outside the European Commission and INSIDE the "hemicycle" debating chamber of the parliament. I made my point that they should NOT have extended beyond 29th March 2019. No deal - let's get on with it.

Oh well that will sort it out then. INSIDE the hemicycle? Blimey, Barnier won't be able to cave in fast enough

I imagine he was too busy watching Alf Garnett re-runs

I have pics to prove my protests. Better non-violent direct action than typing about how financially worse off you might be rather than thinking of the stategic, political principles at stake.

Post them.  Double points if you're wearing a Town shirt.

God, not if he's got his arse out. Fair play though, CU, might disagree with you on the overall issues, but at least you've got off your arse to back up what you believe in.

In the hope that a time machine would have been presented and they could have taken some action on your point?

Common Market 2.0 - Lab in favour, Con not
Confirmatory Referendum - Lab in favour, Con not
Customs Union - Lab in favour, Con not
Parliamentary Supremacy - Lab in favour, Con not

It should also be noted given the closeness of the votes on Common Market 2 and Customs Union that the Lib Dems, who are supported by several leading voices on here voted against.

I'd be interested to hear from Horlock and Ardiles the thinking behind this... I know these were indicative votes, and therefore meaningless to an extent.

And how did Chukka's lot decide to vote?  Against the custom union of course.

You have a long memory, Reg.  I have supported the Lib Dems in the past and I'm still sympathetic to a lot of what they stand for, but they didn't get my vote in 2017.

The indicative votes process seems to have been very flawed.  As Ken Clarke pointed out, many supporters of one option voted against their 2nd best option in fear that their main preference would lose ground.  So, for example, many supporters of a confirmatory referendum voted against the Common Market 2.0 option - even though many will have been broadly supportive of it.  I don't doubt that what you say about the Lib Dems is true and, that being the case, that they screwed up.

But but but, I protest, I protest...I thought you said "EVERY second the clock ticks on..." etc. Well we haven't left on the 29th March. We very likely will leave on April 12th/May 22nd (in some form or another) but all your shit stirring, WUM bullshit you kept on about. Go and sit down and have a very long think about things. You very naughty boy!

My pics will not upload as they are too large. What do I need to do? I have followed the instructions on here.

I received my polling card today for Swindon Borough elections on your 2nd May. It mentions nothing about taking ID. Has the pilot not being continued?
