(Original Metallica from the mid-late 80s when they were well hard, before they sold out... anyway) and he said "Oh this is good, sounds a bit like Nirvana". :smh: Wimpy pathetic weak copy of Metallica maybe...

https://twitter.com/GuardianHeather/status/1185193150433943552quote:As Letwin explained in the debate yesterday, his aim is to close a loophole in the Benn Act, the legislation forces the PM to request a Brexit extension if a deal has not been passed by the end of tomorrow. A vote in favour of the deal tomorrow would have meant there was no need for the PM to request an extension. But if the withdrawal agreement bill (WAB) failed to get through parliament by 31 October, the UK could end up leaving with no-deal by accident. Letwin’s amendment would lead to the PM having to request an extension tomorrow, on the proviso that if the WAB gets through by the end of October, at that point the extension would be withdrawn. You could call it a backstop. snort

If they aren't confident it will get voted down then it makes sense to try to make sure the UK doesn't implode by accident in the event it does. I did suggest they'd probably try to amend it before voting it down.

namesake posted:Well that'd be the horrendous disruption period in a no deal with all kinds of emergency measures getting enforced to keep the power structure intact so yeah? The DUP should not decide who rules Britain. MPs should vote for Johnson’s deal, and those who dislike its details should save their fight for the transition. Exit now would at last draw the Brexit poison from daily politics. It would lift the threat of no deal, and hopefully open the door to a calmer negotiation of Britain’s European future. It is time, surely, to end this agony.

He had arthritis and got to a point he couldn't get in the litter tray so I put puppy training pads round it for him. Hope he lives long and prospers.

Exit now would at last draw the Brexit poison from daily politics. It would lift the threat of no deal, and hopefully open the door to a calmer negotiation of Britain’s European future. It is time, surely, to end this agony. As I wrote in November, what is needed is a national narrative to explain how Brexit has led to this, and what the alternatives could be. This was the case with the referendum: if there had been only one referendum about leaving the EU, there would have been one single explanation. Instead, our country has two referendums, and each involves a wide range of questions. The first was about leaving the EU. It was a referendum on the "remain" option, not on any of the alternatives. The second was about what kind of future Britain should build. Both are complex, not least because the EU is itself complex. It is a vast entity with many institutions and rules, whose members are not just European but also, in many respects, different. It is not a simple trade deal with the EU:

I think we should just abolish the PMship and just let Parliament run the show, it's such a loving farce at this point. How can you arrange a deal to enable no deal, that's a massive contradiction in and of itself. Also where is all the "MY DEMOCRACY, THIS IS A COUP" against the Tories with this new development, essentially nullifying the "brexit with a deal" stance that people hold who are opinionated but not colossal cunting fuckwits like the ERG and don't want no deal?

Quick question, searched the thread but it's moving fast: does anyone have the links to the brexit deep dive articles posted a little while back? There were seven of them from around May or so and excellent quality into what happened with all the Ireland stuff and everything.

Brony Car posted:So voting for the Letwin amendment still helps Johnson? Ten Labour MPs have apparently said they'll back Johnson's deal, which gives him a majority barring any huge surprises. That makes Letwin irrelevant, even if it passes Johnson can send the extension letter to the EU and then immediately call MV4 and win it, removing the need for an extension. Expect to hear Labour being blamed for Brexit by the Lib Dems, the SNP, the Greens, and everybody else until roughly the end of time.

QoL is OK for now. Not sure where you're based now, but when I lived in Egypt with my kitties, there were no special pet meds available so we all had to learn how to use appropriate doses of human meds to treat our pets. (Apparently pet meds are just that anyway in most cases despite the outrageous prices). I used to give my boy some kids' painkiller (bright yellow banana flavoured ketofan?) every 2-3 days and he'd be dancing around like a kitten for up to a day afterwards. I found some stuff for my girl's hyperthyroidism (she had become an eating and making GBS threads machine) in the local pharmacy - it was about 50p for 100. Obviously didn't cure it - cures such as radiotherapy for cats being unavailable in Cairo - but after a week curbed the symptoms and I didn't need to give it her anymore. I think it was called Carbimazole.
