Anyone who can get officially married in Thailand without realizing is beyond help.

Cummings: "Go speak to people outside London."

Next day highest UK court outside London finds him guilty of lying to the Queen.

Cummings: "No not those people"

bring a vote of confidence in his own govt?

still does not have the numbers

Challenge the law in the courts?

He could but, since he prorogued parliament, he has to wait until after oct 14th before anyone  can vote again. Earliest election date would be 21st Nov ish and at his current rate of failure he would probably even struggle to vote for himself by then.

He probably was sent the information from a very nice lady who sent him personal messages on Facebook. (a.k.a Dominic Cummings and AIQ. The "European Army" was the giveaway, complete fiction often quoted in many of the 60 million+ PMs sent by AIQ and Cambridge Analytica.)

 

Spambots, the new democracy.

It is of course a load of hyperbole and opinions dressed up as fact.

I do see he is claiming as fact:

"I did not know that the EU occupies over 45 buildings 2 of which were purpose built monuments of grandeur and are the largest buildings in Europe."

Maybe he can redeem himself by actually doing some research and backing this up with a link.

I have realised the remoaners have been right all along when they say I did not know all the true facts before voting to leave, so I decided to do a little research.

 

I just voted to leave because I thought our sovereignty was being compromised by foreign unelected masters, and that we were compelled to have unlimited uncontrolled immigration, our laws and export agreements dictated by Brussels bureaucrats, and had to pay eye-watering amounts for the privilege.

 

I did not know more than 10,000 EU officials get paid more than our prime minister.

 

I did not know that unlike the UK, 18 countries get more back from the EU than they put in.

 

I did not know that the EU occupies over 45 buildings 2 of which were purpose built monuments of grandeur and are the largest buildings in Europe.

 

I did not know that the EU parliament spends 150million Euros a year moving to Strasbourg every month for 4 days committee meetings, any attempt to stop this stupidity is vetoed by France.

 

I did not know that the EU has had a huge luxury shopping Mall built in Brussels for the exclusive use of EU employees.

 

I did not know that every day queues of chauffeur driven cars with their engines running, wait outside EU establishments while their occupants go in, sign in for their attendance allowance and expenses, then come straight back out and are driven away.

 

I did not know that many of them (like the Kinnocks) end up as millionaires as a reward for looking the other way.

 

I did not know that Clegg was lying when he mocked Nigel Farage for saying that an EU army was being planned.

 

I did not know that the EU had been financing the mass movement of industries from UK to mainland Europe.

 

I could go on and on but suffice it to say that I have never for a moment doubted the correctness of my decision, I am so glad that the remoaners prompted me to look deeper into the bureaucratic absurdity of being in the EU.

 

I think you have hit the nail on the head there identified the problem with the thought process going on here.

Your first paragraph says you knew very little about the EU so did some research which appears to be going to a pro brexit facebook page and copy/pasting some anti EU screed.

It is no wonder we are in such a state if people just take someone elses points and claim them as their own rather than actually doing the reseatch they claim.

Must be the first project in history of Thailand that isn't awarded to "know-it-all" mighty CP

Not really. One of the other consortiums bidding for the project involved Sino-Thai (STEC) which, obviously coincidentally, happens to be controlled by one of our new Deputy PMs and leader of key coalition partner BJT party Anutin Charnviralkul. 

He was deeply involved and was the CEO or CFO or something... He was one of the TOP guys, he was in videos which pretended to be CNN and were staffed with (not very good) actors/actresses to act as news anchors... They literally made fake news and infringed on copyright logos and such to make it look legit. I read up on the company and watched the videos and he is 100% guilty! The wife trying to say he isn't means she's either stupid or complicit. He scammed Thai people (which is why he got caught) and also scammed people all over the world.
There's even websites that reported on the scam before he was brought to justice. 

Bit more here about it from last year - if he was naive enough to think he was doing nothing wrong he needs locking up for his own safety if nothing else.

Jammed with cars, beach looks  deserted.

Since there was heavy rain early afternoon that is hardly surprising. 

Probably all heading to T21.

Cumming is wrong or being economical with the truth. Though an election could be scheduled for after 31st Oct there is a 14 day period under the Fixed Parliament Act after a vote of no confidence where a new PM could be nominated by the existing set of MPs.  Since there is probably a majority there who who vote against no deal there is a chance a PM could be selected who could command a majority on the base of limited extension and national govt. Corbyn could not get the support for that but someone from the Tory side might with commitment for early election to get Labour onside.

It is the same trick he pulled last time with the same group of people behind him. 

The EU will  not negotiate so he can cast them as being unreasonable, Parliament will reject no deal so he can castigate opposition parties as being unpatriotic and not standing up for Britain. He can then  go for an election in October with a lot of flag waving yet with nothing having changed and no need for a clear plan as it will again be about the “establishment” blocking Brexit. The last thing he will want is some compromise from the EU or the support of parliament as this will allow Farage to get a foot in the door.
