The House of Commons has resumed, in the usual civilized English way (SNP sucks balls), as if nothing has happened!  But given how raucous it usually is, how can we tell?

Bercow was originally Berkowitz.  Jewish probably ;-)

Uh...is there a point there, somewhere?

Sarcasm ...

All Jews are behind all wealth, socialism and other corruption.  Haven't you read your Protocols?  On the uncensored Internet, the calls for expulsion of Jews has been running strong since 2015.  And Agenda 21 can't ever happen, unless they kill the Jews first.

So is Darth = Corbyn or Darth = Johnson?

Listening yesterday and today, AG Cox and PM Johnson were well spoken, in spite of so many "missed goals".

BTW - during the Labor conference last week, the Corbynite wing of their party, stuffed the floor with unauthorized delegates, so that the Blairite wing would lose.  The chair of the meeting knew this but said that she wouldn't intervene to clear the "clack" from the floor of the convention.  Basically a lawless group, what you would expect from champaign communists.

Remainers in love (to tune Lawyers in Love) ... the Benn bill aka Surrender act not enough.  They want an extension request to the EU, immediately, not before 10/31 ... and they want to make the Speaker, Bercow ... defacto PM, in regards to Brexit.  No elections necessary.  Meanwhile the Labor party went off the deep end last week, at their party conference, recommending extreme Left policies to be adopted by their party as official policy.

Best cock fight in town!

D'you wonder if the Queen ever thinks, "In the old days, I could have just ordered you lot beheaded..."

It has to be a tempting thought, now and again.

The crown has been nothing, since 1911.  King George V could have prevented British participation in WW I, which was primed by his father, King Edward VII (at the behest of President Teddy Roosevelt).  So they are a total waste of money, except for tourism.

"British MEPs (Lib/Dem) urge Juncker not to do a deal with Johnson" ... but not an act of treason by the Remainiacs.

So Boris is all the way into Donald-land, apparently.

One month before the target exit date -- and less than three weeks from the "pass it or get an extension" date forced on him by Parliament, BoJo the Clown is *finally* going to talk specifics about his Brexit plan (well, I'll believe it when I see it).  Apparently his "big idea" is to have custom checks somewhere other than the Northern Ireland border.  How that resolves things other than in a cosmetic sense is a damn good question.

Anyway, I think the opposition parties are going to not pull anything cute during the Conservative conference -- the smartest thing they can do is cede the "I'm an asshole!" territory to Boris, not compete for it, and once they settle on who the caretaker PM should be (I think the most sensible choice is Ken Clarke -- Corbyn needs to quit kidding himself, Clarke can bring at least some of the Tories on board), they can knock the supports out from under BoJo next week, delay Brexit, and call a general election.

Can the PM make any formal proposal before the formal conference meeting at EU in mid-October?  And he can't share what he is doing with the rest of the Parliament, because they will only trash it, like a bird in a cage over the discarded newspaper.

For those unfamiliar with the unwritten British constitution, this explanation is funny ...
