However there seems to be a glimmer of a hope of a deal and that is surely a step in the right direction.  Let's just see how many more concessions Boris is prepared to make to get a deal agreed.

What you see is daylight at the end of a very long tunnel and the risk of tunnel collapse is almost certain be for you get anywhere near the exit, go for the the escape route  "Revoke A50" while you have a chances.

Wonder what entry visa he had? and did he have a work permit?

Would be a shame if this were to happen to a legitimate tourist on a visa exempt who overstayed by a few days, but most only stay for two to three weeks, it seems it is the ones who "p!$$ take" the visa rules who are being targeted. 

They could not get Al Capone on racketeering or mobster charges but in the end they got for Tax Evasion...

Not all voters have a photo ID. 

 

 

Not having a photo ID is a barrier to those people exercising their vote.

I can see also issue with people not being able to to vote because they can not find their passport or driving licence on polling day...

Maybe a machine that scans your polling card, records a finger print, and records the security number of the ballot paper(s) issued, if you do not have your polling card the residing officer can enter ones polling number manually.

With fingerprints only taken and stored for use if required in the event of voter fraud investigations.

What? No desperate, last-ditch Remainer's clamour for a people's vote to ratify the deal?

 

Hold on till I get my tape recorder.

Who wants more months in limbo while a new referendum is set up...

Stop wasting time...

Revoke Article 50 now.

The Queen's speech sets out the legislative plans and agenda for the government in the new Parliament session. The size of majority, or lack of, is irrelevant to this speech.

The Queens speech is irreverent anyway, wast of her time, wast of money for the days pomp and ceremonies that will be repeated in a few weeks when we rid ourselves of this incompetent Tory ERG government and Buffoon of a PM...

So true. It seems they are happy to harm and ridicule foreigners. Absolute pathetic racists !!

Have you ever thought that the photo editing may have been done by the news media who published it?

And why was that media ever interested in such a "no news day" story?

Ever wondered that he may have upset some people?

If someone wants to spend their money in another country and doesn't cost that country a penny on medical services etc then what's the problem?

If someone is working without the correct paperwork then probably not paying tax or spending a lot of their time in Thailand and not paying tax on income.

In theory someone could evade paying tax to anyone by working online and moving from country to country.

Thailand getting tough on pi$$-takers???

14 days is nothing maybe he was planning to stay longer who knows.but little over the top I think

Maybe has a history of overstaying.

or something lost in translation, maybe entered on a land border 14 day visa exempt stamp a long time ago. 

Boom day for flag makers... as NI gets sold down the river.

Pity most flags are now imported.

Reading between the lines the deal is a stab in the back for NI, so looks like a none starter can not see any none Tories voting for it not even the DUP, and even a number of Tories will probably turn their backs on it. next Saturday will be crunch day...

Months ago Boeing said they had fixed the problem and the plane would be back in the air by the end of the month, I think tat was May.

Now with nearly 400 delivered and a further 300 odd parked up on the employees car park at Renton, now with another damming report will this plane ever fly again, at a unit cost of about $100mil each assuming Boeing has to buy them back that would be a $70Billion hit.

Lot more people than Trump and Giuliani involved,  now all they have to do is work out who and start on the periphery with the ones who probably were collaborating under duress and will crack easily.

Its pretty obvious why she was there considering what she has been arrested for .

that's what the Lead article was implying...

The arrested woman's activities at the school gates were not explained.

But not confirmed, but there again I would be concerned it she was waiting for her daughter(s).

£4 for half an hour? I am in the midlands and probably Brum is the most expensive at £3 an hour but still often can find a cheaper parking option, but there again where you have to pay for parking there seems to be less empty or charity shops than where there is free parking or retail parks.

Talk of Revoking starting to bubble up - I'm for a No Deal and let the electorate see the chaos for a couple of months with no election - the fishing industry have said they will lose 50% of their markets overnight with no deal and they need a 1000 more vets for the paperwork involved bit late now to start bleating same from the farmers.

 

So let's have No Deal and let's shove the faces of these leavers boneheads into the mess they have been cheering on and smash the pound. And I'm serious - Johnson was always lying he has said no democratically accountable PM could ever impose a no deal on the UK. So let's get on with it No Deal on the 31st - no ifs and buts and let's see how wonderful this clean break Brexit really is. Really fed up with this nonsense time for the leaver idiots to have some  accountability at last rather than spouting fact free nonsense and spewing the lies and nonsense of a bunch of chancers, spivs, idiots and the vulture disaster capitalists. And if people get hurt then we know to blame. Enough is enough. 

Well if we have to go knocking on the door in 6 months we will not the favourable term we already have...

The only thing I can agree on is the use of the word Boneheads

Britain Boris tells EU: compromise on Brexit or we'll get nasty:

Boris latest threat: Give us what we want or we will revoke Article 50...

They will always do there best to, but they actually have a duty to their shareholders to get the best return on their investments and probably actually getting less with most of the big retailer claiming poverty and trying to renegotiate their contracts.

 

You only have to look at our high streets to see who went out of business in the last few years as the shops have not been re let.

 

Names like: Debenhams, House of Fraser, BHS, Maplins, The Money Shop, Bathstore, Office Outlet, Patisserie Valerie, HMV, Pound World, 99p Store, Children's World, Toy's R Us, and now Thomas Cook, to name just a few of the thousands of names that adorn vacant proprieties across the UK, If you want to invest in the UK I would suggest companies like VPS (Vacant Property Services). 

 

Happy that a few hours after quoting the above I have been proved wrong.

Its just that the councills have killed the high street who wants to pay 10 pounds to park up for the day ,to go shopping ,that along with online shopping ,(even we had started doing it 13 years ago before we came here) nothing will ever change ,the retailers must to survive .

Still many shops where there is plenty of free parking closed down so your post kind of makes little sense. on line purchasing is definitely the major factor, and Brexit has has some effect particularly with the very weak pound. but the real crunch will happen after Brexit ... if it ever happens.
