It's March 29th, 23h00: What happens next?

[roubaixtuesday]

Small point OT.

I don't think there are any climate change deniers.
The argument is WHY there's climate change, not that it doesn't exist.

Nigel Lawson, Charles Moore, Donald Trump...

Nope.
They are deniers that it's mankind doing it.

Just for the record, here's John Redwood questioning the reality of climate change on his blog.

Any more on this, new thread?

I look out of my window to see my garden frozen solid, covered in frost and snow. It is April 7th, and I have just turned the heating up.
Will the government please give us some accurate figures of temperature trends over the last 100 years, given the disputes we read about over the very simple question “Has it been getting warmer or not?”

You stitched me up good and proper there Mick

Anyway it was a good opportunity to post a link to further discredit some of the 'expert deniers'.

Given the enormous output of CO2 from the burning of fossil fuel and the scientifically proven increase in it's percentage increase in the atmosphere. Then add in the demonstrated blanket/ greenhouse effect of such a gas, the idea that there could be no effect whatsoever seems beyond fanciful?

Given that fossil fuels are a finite resource, I always took the view that we should not be profligate with them but rather try to conserve some for another generation.
Given the science, and if I may say my personal observation, on a changing weather/climate, that would seem to be highly sensible.
A complete win/win situation.

I am not talking about going without, just not being profligate.
Not to acknowledge this possibility, a la Trump, Lawson and the rest, seems a dereliction of duty on their part to me.

Back to Brexit!

+1 to all that.

Remarkable correlation between high-profile climate-change deniers (the accepted meaning of which is about mankind's responsibility for it), and Brexit proponents. It's almost as if they know something the rest of the world doesn't.

Talking of the rest of the world:

Shinzō Abe says ‘the whole world’ wants the UK to secure an agreement

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/jan/10/shinzo-abe-implores-britain-not-to-leave-eu-without-a-deal

Now 'the whole world' can be added to the list of Enemies Of The People™.

[NATURAL ANKLING]

Hi,
We are still running at 31 % of dreamers and cuckoo land, that stat has stabilised.(1&7)

[Cours]

So no chance of Mays deal getting through Tuesday. What next? The politico press are saying no confidence vote next weekend, followed either by a general election or a coalition of national unity tied to a second referendum.

There's even a strong possibility of no Brexit at all come the 29th. Either way Goldman Sachs are predicting a 10% increase the value of the pound by April.

The cretin doesn't know the difference between climate and weather nor does he seem able to use a simple search engine to find climate information.

[Cours]

So it looks like this glittering new world future is about to pop in under 48hrs time. I see in my crystal ball the initials GE. Amazing, from 'Brexit means Brexit'' to a 50/50 ball its even going happen at all. True what they say, a week is a very long time in politics.

[Mick F]

I may turn off the radio and turn off my computer for a few days and let the dust settle before putting my head out above the parapet. Probably not go down the pub either. Maybe hibernate until Friday.

[philvantwo]

March 29th is a Friday! Anyway I can't see Mick F turning off his laptop and radio, no 'You and Yours' or posting on here and as for not going down the pub..............they'll send a search party up to his chalet!

[Mick F]

Too, too true.

General election by April?

[Canuk]

According to Alex Wickham there are now 'only' 113 Tory rebels who have said they will vote against May's Deal. With Labour, The SNP et al it looks like the Tories are on course to be defeated by the largest single majority vote in parliamentary history, since indeed the Parliament convened in 1802.

Someone's head has got to roll.

[Canuk]

I've just read that all 10 DUP MPs are also expected to vote against the deal. Surely A50 will have to be postponed now till after March 29th? If the government loses by 100-200+ seats then they have lost their mandate to govern IMO.

Here is the list in full of all 113 Tory rebels :

We'll see the actual list after the division. In the meantime, how are the names in that list ordered? It's not alphabetical.

[bovlomov]

..how are the names in that list ordered? It's not alphabetical.

By IQ? (lowest first)

EDIT: That can't be right. Raab after Grieve?
