Re: How the East Was Won, starring Cisco Stewart & Huawei Wayne

I don't know details about dwindling of Nordic communication manufacturing - any pointers appreciated. The absence of own nervous system is and will be causing increased subservient position of the involved countries. The disciplined ones will suffer the most. I'll make a prediction that the

Sadly it may be a ‘twitter cliche’ but it is (not yet) wrong as it remains the law and so is still the default outcome. I hope that Yvette Cooper’s is successful in proposing an extension givig time to make the new legislation that would take “no deal off the table” but it is not straight

“No deal can’t be taken off the table; it is the table.” You’ll hear this clever sound bite in Twitter feeds on both sides of the Brexit divide, but it suffers from the serious defect of being wrong. When we talk about no deal being the table, we mean that it is the present default position. No

more brexit spam.. sorry

The UK Parliament just voted to take a Brexit 'no deal' off the table. But it is the law and therefore the default option unless the law is changed. So Parliament's motion means ‘sweet diddly squat’. The problem is actually a category error. You can't take no deal off the table as it is the

Clock reset Re: It is the table

Excellent. As MPs discussed with Cox legal effects on potential outcomes in the case of bad faith moves by the EU concerning the UK requested backstop, let me raise attention to the following: The UK Parliament could unilaterally revoke Article 50 and - as any member state - could trigger the

Re: At last the brexit dividend

At last an oped piece from a former Leave staffer that at leas holds out the hope that one of Johnson, Gove, Davies et al will not succeed May as PM. THAT would be a true Brexit dividend. "In the end, the hard Brexiteer perfectionists bedazzled by cake and unicorns proved to be the obstacle that

Re: It is the table

Folks, what a situation!... I like how Stephen Bush writes: "[May's] motion, unless amended, has no more force and will have no more impact than if MPs voted against the forces of gravity. You cannot vote against falling off the cliff when you have already jumped off the cliff, which is what

Hi Keith, many thanks for your kind words.. I recomend this from the excellent Stephen Bush https://www.newstatesman.com/politics/staggers/2019/03/theresa-may-has-been-defeated-again-time-she-isnt-one-denial In this very worrying article about just how far parliament is from actually waking

Re: At last the brexit dividend

Hi David, Absolutely! But even with a slim majority, I don't believe that this policy could be pushed through Parliament. On current voting patterns, May would have lost the Meaningful Vote vote by around 50 even if she had 50 entirely biddable MPs at her disposal. All the best, James On

Re: At last the brexit dividend

Hello David, The Brexit situation is indeed extraordinary, and it has thrown up deep deficiencies in the UK's constitutional arrangements, electoral security and, more widely, in its national identity. For what it's worth, my money, should I care to bet on it, would be that the UK will end

Re: At last the brexit dividend

Hi David, Thanks for that thoughtful response which justifiably raises longer term issues of the British constitution than the daily news as reported in the piece just sent in. I met the US ambassador to France in the year the euro was launched as currency and he asked me if Blair would buy into

Re: At last the brexit dividend

Hi Keith I think the article is interesting but misses out the central challenge that the profound political/constitutional crisis has thrown up which is: at what point and how does a theoretically sovereign parliament take control when a government has lost control of events but is

Hi Morlock, You might be forgetting the role of Ericsson and Nokia in the European part of this saga. Unfortunately the tender demand for an communication infrastructure built on open hardware, open software, reproducible builds and full formal proofs of correctness are nowhere to be
