They really should have started up North and connected Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool, other places first so we have a powerful hub across the country and capacity could be solved to some degree without HS2 really. It's just a London black hole and vanity project as always.
If you're following that level up garbage they spew, London doesn't need leveled up so fuck HS2 until you sort out the rest of the country and make those areas powerhouses, oh but that would take away from London.....oh.
Lmao, yeah, just saw this.
He's auctioning it off as well. At least the proceeds are going to charity though.
Interesting stuff here. The more the years go on after this shit fest, the more desire for indy we'll have.
remember when Costa Del Sol was the British crime capital to flee to, well step up Germany
Germany won't extradite its citizens to the UK
It won't be possible for some suspected criminals to be brought back to the UK if they flee to Germany.
Germany's constitution does not allow its citizens to be extradited, unless it's to another EU country.
"This exception cannot apply anymore after the UK has left EU," a spokesman from the German Federal Ministry of Justice told BBC News.
It's unclear if the same restrictions will apply to other countries. Slovenia, for example, says the situation is complicated, while the European Commission was unable to provide comment.
The UK Home Office says the European Arrest Warrant will continue to apply during the transition period. (That means Germany will be able to extradite non-German citizens.)
However, it adds that if a country's laws prevent extradition to the UK it "will be expected to take over the trial or sentence of the person concerned".

Good to see the membership hasn't died off with the failure of the election, people are still really engaged at the moment for the years ahead.
You make it sound like this is a bad thing.
It's fantastic that Germany doesn't extradite it's citizens to some banana republic.
Also, Germany will continue to extradite non-German nationals. Their constitution only protects Germans. I don't see them giving citizenship to British crimelords.
Everything is a performance with Boris, if it happens there will be lots of drama and bullshit at the last moment. Enough steam has been let off that he could probably get away with it and make it look like another of his victories*
*retreat
Indefinitely seems really unlikely.
An additional extension could happen I guess, but we would have to see what happens between now and late autumn I guess.
By the looks of it there will be literally no more public scrutiny or interest in the matter. So it could well be that The Johnson government just does whatever the hell it is they feel like at any given time...
That's how i see it, we have already left looking at most people, in a years time people will have moved even further on mentally.
UK PoliEra, I propose we ban the use of "Boris". He is not endearing or our lovable buffoon and supporting that view by using his first name is doing everyone a disservice. I know we have all been guilty of it in the past and the entire press corp is complicit. We should make a concerted and very conscious effort to not give him the satisfaction that his stick is working.
Possible alternatives:
The Johnson Government
The Flacid Johnson
Rt. Hon. Johnson
Johnson McJohnsonface
The PM
Cumming's Plaything
basically anything except his first name.

The streak of shit on the toilet bowl of state? Doesn't exactly roll off the tongue, but I feel it has the virtue of accuracy.
Would be ironic considering his ancestry and the meaning of the word in Turkish
Glasgow having a laugh with the ads.
I'm usually in that Tim Horton's whenever I'm in Glasgow for work - I'll need to keep an eye out for it!
Those two deserve each other. Just send to them on a small island together and desert them.
What a dark day.
I hope to one day celebrate the UK rejoining the EU. Until then, I think I'm about done with the country I was born in. I wish everyone the best, and I acknowledge how privileged I am to be able to turn my back, but there's a fight still to be had here in the US, and it needs my energies.
I hope for the best for all of you. I really do. I know you're living through shit you didn't cause and can't ignore.

...Is it weird that I just look at this and see a fucking roleplayer?
Because that's what this is, frankly, for a lot of these people. It's a roleplaying fantasy, where they and their nation is great for acts of jingoism than by doing anything substantive to actually improve lives.
The transition period can be extended by up to two years. However, any extension will need to be agreed by 1st of July. I think it's incredibly unlikely Johnson would agree to that especially with the cliff edge still 6 months away.
There's too many that could apply to, not forgetting Jeremy Hunt of course.
Not specific enough. He's head cunt of a cunt party voted for by cunts. He's not even the cuntiest, he's just the cunt in charge.
One of RLBs biggest problem is one of Corbyn's. Repeating stock phrases which most people in the country won't understand even if the core idea is decent.
People want to hear about the funding for their schools in basic terms. They don't want to hear about Industrial Strategy.
Starmer repeating some if the points I heard when he made when he came to Blackburn this week. People want clarity, and if Labour gain power their policies and programmes need to be embedded in a way the Tories can't just undo them on Day 1 in a future power shift.
Heartening how much Starmer and Nandy support eachother. They would be a good team.

Not sure how we are handling the EU stuff from now on, I assume it's going to be in here.
Anyhow it looks like Gibraltar is on the menu already.
