To be honest the only Irish whiskey I've tried is Jamiesons and Tullamore so this is probably like saying whisky sucks because you tried Grants that one time and it made you boak

If you're not striving to improve, you'll end up going backwards.

quote:


Jeremy Corbyn (Labour): "Boris Johnson’s attempt to suspend Parliament to avoid scrutiny of his plans for a reckless no-deal Brexit is an outrage and a threat to our democracy. Labour will work across Parliament to hold the government to account and prevent a disastrous no deal."

Jo Swinson (Lib Dem): "By suspending Parliament to force through a no deal, Boris Johnson and the government would remove the voice of the people. It is a dangerous and unacceptable course of action which the Lib Dems will strongly oppose."

Nicola Sturgeon (SNP): “Shutting down Parliament in order to force through a no-deal Brexit, which will do untold and lasting damage to the country against the wishes of MPs is not democracy, it’s dictatorship."

Adam Price (Plaid Cymru): "Time to leave this sham of a democracy and start building our own."

Anna Soubry (Independent Group for Change): "There is a parliamentary majority against no deal and Parliament must resume so that we can continue cross-party work to legislate against a no deal on 31 October."

Jonathan Bartley (Green): "This is a cynical, duplicitous, cowardly move from the prime minister. This has no mandate behind it. What the prime minister is doing here is bypassing Parliament completely in order to drive through his own agenda - an agenda people did not vote for."

Arlene Foster (DUP): "We welcome the decision to hold a Queen’s Speech marking the start of a new session of Parliament on 14 October where the government will set out its new domestic legislative agenda."

Michelle O'Neill (Sinn Fein): "Johnson demonstrates the arrogance of the British government and their contempt for even their own political institutions. It’s crystal clear that Irish interests will never be protected at Westminster."

I've been calling for a federation split into the NUTS statistical regions since before Brexit, but most of the English ones would still have gone Leave. Greater London and mayyybe North West would have gone Remain.

The last few years have been eye-opening on how much of western institutions are kept together by "gentlemen agreements" and :decorum: regulations put in place in a time where going against them would have been almost unthinkable.
