You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time- Abraham Lincoln
D Day for May so. Will she go? And if so what happens then?

“We are really playing with fire if we think that by coming up with all sorts of complicated amendments and delaying tactics, we can fool the British public . . . we will reap the whirlwind. People will feel betrayed. People will feel there has been a great conspiracy by the deep state of the UK, the people who really run the country, to overturn the vote” said Boris Johnson yesterday
It really is quite amazing that the media-political bubble can’t see that it’s stumbling towards civil unrest. The media was more arms-length from politicians, but ever since they erected their makeshift favelas on College Green, they don’t appear capable to forming views independent of politicians, they’re just echo chambers for each other with the public regarded as inconvenient and quite rude intrusions to on-air interviews.

D-Day? Not at all.
(1) Adopt current draft withdrawal agreement (2) attempt renegotiation with EU of current draft withdrawal agreement (3) Cancel Article 50 notice to leave (4) Seek agreement to extend Article 50 notice to leave (5) Hold a second Brexit referendum (6) Call general election (7) No-deal Brexit crash-out
They’ll vote against (1) today.
Theresa has until next Monday to come back and tell them she’ll do (2) “Norway style”, “Canada style”, what have you.
D-Day is 74 days away.

It will be her biggest test to date and if she looses by a large amount, the pressure to go will be heavy.

Sparks to fly from 10.30 this morning in court 3.
Assistant Commissioner Fintan Fanning, who has been suspended amid an investigation into alleged malfeasance in public office, will try to get the suspension quashed. Drew Harris will either have to put up or shut up and if he’s putting up, he’ll have to outline the grounds for the suspension. Which will be interesting.

If you thought the Irish police were the keystone cops, just cast a glance over at the elite British national crime agency.
Kinahan #3 (according to Irish print media) back in court in the UK today where he’ll try to get bail. And what is the #3 in the global organised crime group charged with? Possession of a torch/stun gun which carries a mandatory minimum 5 years. So, yes, it’s serious, but it’s hardly possession of pipe bombs, cocaine bales, AKs or gangsta spray-and-prays with a suppressor, is it. And #3 says his 16-year old son got the €10 weapon on a school trip to China and #3 confiscated it when his 8-year old found it and was walking around the house with it. That’s the extent of the charge against #3.
The details are changing by day. On Saturday #3 was flying back from “a Middle Eastern country [RTE Paul Reynolds]” to Sunday, he was flying back from South America, to yesterday, he was flying back from a family holiday in Mexico.
For such a highly publicised arrest by the all-powerful NCA, this looks like a warning shot across the bows with the Gardai playing the part of patsies.

Is it not just another joint effort to nail a member of a crime gang at any opportunity and for anything that’ll stick?…

Negotiations over months between the EU and the UK came to an end with a proposals for a Brexit on the 29th. The EU have said that’s that, no renegotiations. So what do all these opposition MP’s think is going to happen if they reject this proposal tonight? Even if May resigns do you think her successor will be able to rock up to the EU and say “ah c’mon, I’m new, you have to talk again”. The UK media are in the Government pockets like the Irish media but I guarantee you half of the MP’s in Parliament do not fully appreciate what a no deal Brexit will bring.

That’s the extent of the charge against #3.
The NCA has gone to town with publicising this case. There’s a highly unusual photo on their website of them at the front gate of the house of #3 with two Gardai accompanying a NCA officer. Did they really need the Gardai assistance to bring a charge for possession of a stun gun? http://www.nationalcrimeagency.gov.uk/news/1543-two-arrested-in-drug-and-firearms-investigation
