A worried pug.
For as much, or as little as any the Brexit secretary says matters;

quote:

The Brexit secretary, Stephen Barclay, has indicated that Boris Johnson will send a letter to the EU seeking an extension if there is no agreement by Saturday.

Pressed by the Commons’ Brexit committee over whether the prime minister would obey the Benn act, Barclay said the government “will abide by that text”.

He also denied knowledge of any plan to send a second letter to Brussels asking officials to ignore the first letter because the government did not want an extension.

The legislation passed by MPs opposed to a no-deal exit from the EU requires the PM to ask the EU to extend article 50 beyond 31 October should a deal not be agreed by 19 October.

[...]

Ministers have indicated the government could send a second letter asking the EU to ignore the first letter asking for an extension. The business secretary, Andrea Leadsom, asked by ITV’s Robert Peston last week if the PM would send a second letter disavowing the first, replied: “Absolutely”.

Joanna Cherry, the SNP MP and committee member, asked Barclay if there was a plan to send two letters. “I am not aware of any such plan,” he replied.

Robert Buckland, the justice secretary and lord chancellor, told another select committee he was committed to “upholding the rule of law” as its “guardian in cabinet”, promising it was a role he took extremely seriously.

His comments suggest he would not tolerate any move by Downing Street to disobey the law by refusing to stick within the strictures of the Benn act.

I seriously hope Johnson has to eat poo poo.

[e]: 147 ~ Number of onanisms Johnson commits every hour, leading to; bloating, bad skin, straw-like hair, and delusions of statesmanship.

It's a weird theme popular in Victorian medicine and still popular in Ayurvedic medicine that semen is somehow connected to cerebrospinal fluid because it looks like watery cum, so a spoonful of jizz is a pint of CSF, and a spoonful of CSF is a pint of blood and you can wank your spirit out.

Victorian and Ayurvedic doctors: Women belong indoors and don't think about sex.

CSF is "gin clear" and not very much like cum at all.

According to Bruno Waterfield for the Times, there have been ‘hiccusps’ in talks, and now it’s pretty much impossible for anything to happen by October 31st. Johnson will either have to demand an extension, or ignore and refuse to comply with the Benn Act.
Edit: Hahahaha, ‘best we can do is a political agreement, but can’t do anything more until we have a legally binding text (which Germany thinks could take two months), by the way we won’t even bother starting until after we see what happens with the vote on saturday’,

I've been toying with the idea recently that it could be a good thing for Corbyn to step down sometime soon. He's done amazing things for the party and growing the vote, but there are still a significant amount of people out there who believe he's a communist/anti-semite/hard-brexiter, whatever, and it feels like we're hitting diminishing returns now.
The thing that I find most annoying about this is the refusal to acknowledge that Labour has three times as many members as the Tory party, and if it wasn't for gerrymandering would have had a storming majority. The labour party has had a huge increase in popularity since Corbyn, and is only popular because of his leftist policies. So the problems with replacing Corbyn are twofold:

1) Replacing Corbyn cuts out the support the party currently has. Centrists like to imagine that by playing nice we can pull over some of the right from other parties, but what happens instead is we lose the left, and the right do this:



2) If the party elects another left-leaning leader to keep its base, they will suffer the exact same fate in the press. Look how the papers are starting to attack McDonnell just in case he's next in line.

This "maybe Corbyn should step down because nobody likes him and he's standing in the way of a Labour landslide" is loving insidious (my wife even said it a few nights ago), because it openly acknowledges the huge surge in popularity for labour, while refusing to acknowledge that it's entirely down to Corbyn.

Essentially the argument is "oh poo poo Corbyn might win because he's popular, time to go maximum centrist by removing the thing we actually want because compromise" when compromising with the right never loving works.

Ah constitutional chaos, you're never far away from my government and my heart.

That said Labour are a little bit hosed regardless, the Tories do well if there's a deal, they do well if they can convince enough of the public that there was a deal but the EU and remoaner parliament shot it down, the lib dems and the Tories do well if there's no deal and the lib dems will probably do well if there's an extension.

As I've said for months, if this election is about Brexit then Labour are going to suffer.

Agree but most people think anything that happens to a criminal is fine by them. Eg notice how 'police kill unarmed suspect who just happened to be the same colour as a criminal they were after' is swiftly followed by newspaper reports that 'yeah but he smoked dope once /stole some sweets off the sweetie counter in Woolworths when he was 6 so actually it's absolutely fine that he was killed.'

But off topic, but there was a show on channel 4 a couple of years back where they put on a mock trial for a rapist. They made it a "he said she said" sort of case, happened at a party, they were friends etc., the kind of case that would never get a prosecution let alone a conviction in the real world. When they got the opinions of watchers/jurors they would say how yes the guy was guilty, but is it really worth ruining his life, and one of them stood out to me because she was saying he shouldn't go to jail because it's not for people like him, she was on the cusp of saying that jail is for murderers and rapists but didn't quite get to the realisation that the rapist actually deserved the harsh punishment...

I think it's a bit like the thing posted earlier about harshness of sentences. Are sentences in general too lenient - YES! Ok look at these specific cases - that's fine, that's fine, ooh that's a bit harsh actually. But sentences in general are too lenient!!

People hold a distinction between jumping out of bushes rape and the kind you mention, are presented with the latter, agree he's a rapist, continue to hold distinction above.

This was a minor part of the David Nutt shenanigans that stuck with me. People were in favour of giving cannabis at least a Class B, maybe even a Class A status (i.e. definitely illegal) but also massively in favour of really lenient sentences.

The contradiction never seemed a problem.

That's an easy to solve contradiction.

Cannabis moves to class A, but Class A drug penalties are reduced to like 5 years or a fine for selling without a licence or no penalty for simple possession, Class B and C are reduced accordingly.
