  1. No, it won’t, you’re missing the point, it’s a prerogative that can be used to overrule the parliament, just as he tried, after lying to the queen. We’re in very dangerous territory if the judicial review won’t be available anymore.
  2. This general election is about more than just Brexit. Brexit wont be done by January 31st, just as it hasn’t be done in July or October. Brexit will take 10-15 years to sort out, for a properly negotiated deal with EU, and specially if the people won’t be asked again in a referendum based on the information we know now. This general election is about having a fairer society, for being able to put food on the table, to prevent unnecessary pain and suffering, to take care of our planet for our kids and future generations, it’s for dealing child poverty, homelessness and mental health issues, for dealing with violent crimes and home brewed terrorism and so much more. It’s time we started carrying about everyone in the society and close the divide between us, generated by the fat cats, newspapers and a selected number of politicians. Do the right thing, Dan, think it through again.
  3. Still waiting to be shown why Corbyn is "unelectable", some facts and links would be amazing. I genuinely want to understand.
  4. Did you actually read the Conservative manifesto? Here's the link from their website: https://assets-global.website-files.com/5da42e2cae7ebd3f8bde353c/5dda924905da587992a064ba_Conservative 2019 Manifesto.pdf Check page 48: "We will ensure that judicial review is available to protect the rights of the individuals against an overbearing state, while ensuring that it is not abused to conduct politics by another means or to create needless delays." Does this mean Boris Johnson's decisions could not be ruled illegal, the only person with this status in UK, or am I reading it wrong? Forget 2000 years of legal precedent, the human rights laws, any equality considerations or any new law made by MPs? How about the separations of powers? As I read it, the ancient rights of royal prerogative could/would be used to overrule the parliament, so that the government and Prime Minister could act illegally, without any chance of stopping it. Remember when he tried to close Parliament for 5 weeks at a time of crisis, being ruled illegal? Or when May wanted to trigger Article 50 without parliamentary consent? Not a law specialist, but I'd love to hear what the specialists are saying about this paragraph with regards to the judicial reviews. Anything but Corbyn you say?
  5. Does that mean you're going to reconsider your opinion / your vote, now that you can see facts / implications?
  6. On the NHS sale: "Start with the shocking privatisation in 2013 of the NHS blood plasma supplier, on which thousands of patients depend. To protect the quality of the blood product, David Owen, as health secretary in 1975, took blood plasma collection into public ownership as Plasma Resources UK. But Jeremy Hunt, as health secretary, sold that off for £200m to a US private equity firm, Bain Capital, while Britain kept a 20% stake. Co-founded by Mitt Romney in 1984, Bain has over the years acquired such well known health products as Burger King, Dunkin Donuts, Dominos Pizza and much else. Protesters, David Owen among them, warned that the company had a predatory reputation for asset stripping, but Bain promised it would develop the company into a “life sciences champion” in Hertfordshire. Instead, it sold it on to a Chinese company in 2016 for £820m. Was there any protest from our government, losing its last remnant of control? Not a word. Instead, an irony, the US government is expressing concern at China taking over a vital US-owned health asset." https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/oct/25/boris-johnson-conservatives-nhs-funding Piece by piece, until the last piece.

  8. Welcome to the club, Calv!
  9. Had to google that, nice thread indeed! Congrats Samoht! https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=47&t=1843403&i=0
  10. My pleasure. I've confirmed with Z1 several times, 100% forged invoice.
  11. Will message you shortly, thanks.
  12. WOW, 4 years already! RIP Martin!
  13. Both parts will work on all 350z. That being said, you might want to reconsider your purchase, they’re not the best quality stuff in my opinion.
  14. But is already happening, Dan: https://www.theguardian.com/society/2019/nov/29/private-firms-handed-15bn-in-nhs-contracts-over-past-five-years
  15. I'm not sure we would have been more screwed than we are now due to austerity. Here are some things to consider: https://www.theguardian.com/business/2019/feb/21/uk-economy-100bn-smaller-because-of-austerity-thinktank https://www.theguardian.com/society/2019/may/15/child-poverty-above-50-per-cent-in-10-uk-constituencies https://fullfact.org/economy/poverty-uk-guide-facts-and-figures/ https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/crimeandjustice/datasets/crimeinenglandandwalesappendixtables
  16. It doesn't make me shudder, but Mogg, Gove, Patel, Johnson, Raab and all their cronies do make me shudder. What are the top 5 serious character flaws you spotted in Corbyn? Genuinely curious to see what am I missing, coming from outside the British society / politics as I said. As for the proposals Labours are making in their manifesto, I can't see anything that screams let's go back to 1970s rather than let's cary on modernising the society: eg better founded NHS, free broadband so business can thrive, people can access services required etc, then the climate emergency measure and so on. To me that sounds modern society. And what's so 1970s to nationalise the railway? Seems to be working perfectly fine in Germany, to give just one example: https://www.citymetric.com/transport/are-german-trains-really-better-british-ones-rail-nationalisation-deutsche-bahn-3972 https://www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/uk-railways-are-already-almost-entirely-nationalised-by-foreign-countries/25/11/
  17. How are they going to get Brexit done and dusted by January 31st? It will take 5-7-10 years to negotiate the future relationship (THE DEAL) with EU and whichever way you look at it we will get a worse deal than staying in. It's just another Boris soundbite, "no more dither and delay, we have an oven ready Brexit deal and we will get Brexit done by 29th of March, October the 31st, January 31st" and so on. Labour's solutions seems the best, negotiate the best possible deal, staying in the customs union and keep free movement etc, while leaving the EU. Put that deal against a remain option to the people and have a referendum on far more information than the one in 2016, which was based on lies, to put it simply. By now we all know a "clean Brexit" will be a disaster for our economy and society, that's not an option. With Tories back in no10, we're still risking a No Deal scenario.
  18. Steer clear away, the invoice he has for the work done on the engine is fake.
  19. I've only been here for 20 years, I don't know as much about British politics from my own experience, but I researched about it in numerous occasions. What's actually so bad about Corbyn that he's considered a "not electable PM"? What's so "70s" about him or his beliefs?
  20. What kills me is why vote for them on a manifesto that basically only promises to hire 20000 police officers to fight the crime wave caused by cutting 22000 police officers and austerity they imposed on the country for the last 9 years...
  21. By public request, we now have these available. Stainless steel, 2 years warranty, come with all gaskets and hardware.

  22. I'm still waiting to read a proper documented article about what makes Corbyn anti-semite. Something like this, but in depth examples, things HE did, HE said etc: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/nov/26/antisemitism-labour-everything-you-need-to-know
  23. Sure thing, Umair. PM on the way.
