Monday Maudling


Another day of joy and gladness passes by.  This time the joy comes from visiting the happy smiling lass in Tesco, getting home before the sky turned a dark gray and rain hammered down for a while. Joy yesterday came from trundling down to the church and getting a lift home rather than walking into the stiff chilly breeze.  
How nice to get out again and get back into the old routine.  Speak to friends, get up to date news, place IOU in offering bag, the usual things on a Sunday morning.  Unfortunately I then had to watch far too many poor football games.  I managed however....
Tomorrow is museum day and while I would rather lie in bed still I suppose I must go.  It means I do not have to watch John Bercow put Mrs May in her place.


Good old John has dug out a law dating from 1604 that will not allow May to run the same question through parliament for the third time.  Poor May, maybe she will be glad about this, maybe she will seethe.  Either way it is good for the nation.  
But what will happen?  What is going on behind the scenes?  Again the DUP in Northern Ireland are holding out for money, again bribes are on offer, again lesser parties are helpless and again the elite line their pockets while the people suffer.
By the way I notice Mr Farage has launched his 'Walk from Sunderland to London' in support of 'Leave.' I was somewhat surprised, but not much, to learn that he is walking via his helicopter (who pays for that?) while the 'people' follow on the ground.  There is something of the Moseley about Farage, rich, pompous but unlike Moseley he fails to get elected anywhere so why does he get so much publicity I wonder?

John Bercow is telling the PM 'yer tea's oot, hen'

(translated for non-Scots: 'You're time as PM has come to an end, Mrs May')

And if her proposal falls under the ban, so do any attempts to repeat calls for a referendum, an extension to Article 50 and the Malthouse proposal...if Bercow is consistent, which is asking a lot...

How the Government or politicians were surprised or weren't aware that this could happen is incredible as it was widely reported that it was a possibility. Especially as Bercow is a remainer anyway. I wonder what his chances of going to the Lords when he retires are now?

Mike, For some reason there were those who did not agree with him...

Fly, He can get around those little problems...

Dave, I suspect he will go to the Lords but some will try to block it.
