PurpleCanary 5,560 Posted October 29, 2019 I understand the Ille-et-Vilaine Office de Tourisme is delighted with all the mentions Rennes, the main city of the department, has been getting. And the same for Citroen for all the references to its C1, although a touch on the quietly baffled side since the vehicle in the photograph in question was a Mini.

kick it off 1,952 Posted October 29, 2019 I have to say - much as I support the vote being extended to 16 and 17 year olds, I don't think this bill was an appropriate place to lobby for that. Should definitely happen next parliament though. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kick it off 1,952 Posted October 29, 2019 (edited) Surprise surprise, 10 of the 21 Tories that Boris booted out the party have now been welcomed back. Almost like Boris has absolutely no spine, no conviction and does whatever is politically expedient. Pathetic Henry ZeffmanVerified account @hzeffman 16m16 minutes ago More Confirmed: 10 independents have the whip back. Burt, Nokes, Clark, Soames, Vaizey, James, Stephen Hammond, Brine, Harrington, Benyon. Of those I think Burt, Soames, Harrington and Benyon are standing down anyway Edited October 29, 2019 by kick it off Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I believe Rennes featured on earlier pages of this thread together with a picci of its Creperie. There are rumours of a furtive Englishman taking illicit photographs of the town square, a photofit image was issued by the Gendarmerie.

kick it off 1,952 Posted October 29, 2019 Reports circulating that the government have caved on the date and will go for the 9th. Quelle surprise that Boris can't even beat the Lib Dems and SNP in a negotiation. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
