I would rather allow Shamima Begum to come back rather than the terrorist Mrs May, she has done so much damage?

Parliament's petitions committee tweeted that the rate of signatures was "the highest the site has ever had to deal with", after the website crashed.

If it were to get to 34million it might be worth taking note of it.

Welcome back! As it happens, that's exactly where Mrs P and I will be going in June-July - main objective is to watch a total eclipse (weather permitting, visible from Argentina and Chile) on 2 July, but also to visit the well-known tourist hotspots (Machu Picchu, Cusco, etc.).Psamathe wrote:(Almost) back again.
I have spent the last 4 months independently travelling round Peru, Bolivia and parts of Chile (without bike) and I am astounded at how aware locals are of what is going on in the UK (more so in Peru than Bolivia & Chile).
I suppose we'll get the same - although much may have happened between now and June. We're also due for a trip to France at beginning of April (just after the original Br****it day) but that's still very dodgy and we may have to abandon. If we do get there (assuming no-deal hasn't actually happened), we're bound to get some ribaldry from our French neighbours, but it'll all be good-humoured...It’s embarrassing. As soon as they discover I’m British the “What in God’s name …” starts. One place I visited required you take a guide and when the guide found I was British I was immediately called “Brexit” with lots of laughter! For the last couple of months I’ve sometimes been using my limited French language to claim I’m French.

Welcome back. Please direct your fire at Whitehall (the executive) rather than Westminster (the MPs), though. This Brexishambles is mostly down to Chairman May's refusal to listen, compromise or build consensus. I can quite understand why the EU are unwilling to renegotiate with May: she negotiated with them in bad faith, basically, by suggesting she could get her deal approved when she was comically far from that.

No! Not Whitehall! They are mere civil servants. No 10 is where your ire should be directed.
