Labour could block Brexit by voting against Article 50

What a scurrilous and deliberately distorted headline, but indicative of this "newspaper" and its obsession to take every opportunity, no matter how tenuous the opportunity may be, to discredit the Labour party generally and Corbyn in particular. 

The Labour party will oppose any move to trigger Article 50 if the Government is unable to guarantee access to the single market. There is nothing wrong or even new with that. It is a perfectly legitimate position to state and is consistent with that already on record as being a Labour party "red line" in any "Brexit" agreement. The "Independent"s position on continued UK membership of the European Union is widely known as is their view of the recent High Court ruling preventing the government using "Royal Prerogative" to circumvent Parliament. The "Independent" and other newspapers have become desperate in their determination to expedite the commencement of Article 50 negotiations. It seem that the "Independent", and other sections of the media are terrified at the prospect that the British people may have changed their opinion since the referendum. 

Sky News have just jumped onto the bandwagon with the hysterical live report screaming that, "Jeremy Corbyn will vote against Brexit" only later in the report qualifying this with a brief comment that Labour has "red lines" for the Brexit agreement. Another part of the media with their own agenda.

Northern Ireland and Brexit. The return of "The Troubles"

Northern Ireland: police attacked in another night of disturbances | Northern Ireland | The Guardian When the "Brexit" debate was still filling our newspapers and our television screens, readers may remember why I had changed my mind since voting to leave at the referendum vote. Apart from the economic arguments, which had become crystal clear after peeling away all the lies and misrepresentations trotted out by Bozo Boris and his "Get Brexit Done" conspirators, there was always the problem of the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Would it be possible to have a border between the European Union and the United Kingdom where people, goods and services could pass freely between the two nations without customs restrictions, tariffs, duties and all the other formalities? Would it be possible to have one part of the United Kingdom treated differently from other parts of the United Kingdom, particularly when Scotland for example had voted overwhe...

Workers face ban on striking .

http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2015/jul/15/trade-unions-conservative-offensive-decades-strikes-labour?CMP=share_btn_fb     Tories launch biggest crackdown on trade unions for 30 years         The Labour party must oppose the continuing assault on ordinary people in this country. Organisation and protests against the excesses of this Conservative government is essential. Should Harriet Harman suggest even partial support for Conservative policies, she is clearly in the wrong party.

Leave the clocks alone!

  https://www.kentonline.co.uk/kent/news/did-you-remember-to-put-clocks-forward-224737/ Sanity returns!!! The clocks have gone forward by one hour and perhaps now I can get some proper sleep, and return to normal in numerous other areas which have been disrupted since 25th October 2020. That pesky little person who steals an hour from my sleep and disrupts my time/body clock for the next 6 months, should be confined to a secure location for ever. Never again should I and thousands like me be disrupted every year and for no apparent reason by an outdated and tenuous notion of "daylight saving". In fact we should probably put another hour at the start of the Summer and then stay on Double British Summer Time (DBST). for the duration. Message for pesky little person "LEAVE THE BLOODY CLOCKS ALONE!"
