What might the betting be that this chap voted for leave?

I think you have to prove that you are fully paid up member of the gammon club before you can buy a Range Rover.

It's about three years too late for that.

Yes, I was just struck by the sheer gall of it.

I was a bit confused by that story. If the Range Rover is to protect "his" parking space from "rogue parkers", presumably he has a regular car that needs the space. So he comes home, moves the Range Rover so he can park the regular car ... then what? Parks the Range Rover outside someone else's house? Maximum Gammon.

He appears to live on a corner and wants to protect all the road outside his bit of land because he has to exemplify the phrase Little Englander. I have a notion to advertise a fake but absolute bargain clay pigeon shoot and then put a skip there when he goes off in the Range Rover.

Anybody going to break it to certain someone you know where that it's no use signing the 'Leave the EU without a deal in March 2019' petition...


...as it has already been debated in Parliament and won't be debated again. All the gammon are signing for nothing. ;D

No but it is good that they are, as it adds validity to the one to withdraw A50.

Government has today issued further analysis of the potential impacts of Brexit...

...but on a Privy Council basis, which means the contents cannot be discussed openly.

That’s just stupid......after all it’s going to come out at some stage. The public’s anger at being misled will be 10x worse with all this subterfuge

Oh goody, Parliament has just voted to make things more confused. No surprise there.

TBH I tnink a series of indicative votes is very useful for seeing which approach stands the most chance of succeeding, or at least they would have been useful two years ago.

Things are crumbling. Is this good, or bad?
