I mean it's a commercial decision, & nowt to do with government.
A few cafรฉs around here are open late & sell coffee til about 11.
They're licensed to sell booze so that's probably why they can afford to stay open.

I went to the theatre, Wednesday evening,& paid almost 8 quid for a pint of Doom Bar.
I don't really drink that much & it was nice to have a beer out,but to get a bit pissed would be 50 quid at that price.
Mind you,my mate had a bottle of water (driving,etc), & that was ยฃ3.50,ffs.
They've eaten the Gummies.

Flavoured KY is already available.
So I'm told.
Boston & Skegness have become rather impoverished, mainly because the Eastern Europeans that worked in the area & poured money INTO the local economy, have, in large part, decided to leave.
The Brexit that keeps on taking.
Reform is now seeking more scapegoats.
It's called the Hague-Duncan-Howard conundrum.
Similar to Labour's Corbynite Manoeuvre, or Miliband Connection.
Coming next, Jenrickation or a Giant Stride,backwards.
Which only reinforces my point.
It could be argued the "Cunts" & "Arsenal" are interchangeable.
" did you see the traffic outside the Cunts ground last evening? "
Or
" gor blimey guv'ner them Cunts were on fire, innit? "
As with most English expletives, the word printed on the mug can be used in diverse situations.
"You're an 'Orribe Cunt" (detrimental)
"Arsenal have been lucky cunts this season"
(faint praise).
"You jammy cunt,you've got 6 numbers"
(jubilation)
Etc etc.
Clegg should never have formed the coalition with Cameron.
A minority Tory government would have lasted a year,tops,& that would have been ideal.
Oh,& Starmer would never have been PM,either.
Doubleplus good.

if you haven't read Leviathan please do...
'chequered' means black and white.
Bobby Bullshit is only blank.
The clue is in your first sentence.
The majority of MPs do see their position as a game.
Party Conferences are an farce, preaching to an audience who'll clap as directed, or flap flags.
Get back to your constituency & do work.
Electioneering should be limited to 4 weeks prior to elections.
He does.
Your post sent me straight to Hobbes, Leviathan. Published 1651,in the middle of great upheaval.
This,from the last paragraph of his introduction.
What a bummer, though.
Typical!
If democracy must be paused to stop Reform, so be it.

It seems we've a reasonably good King*, & the next version seems alright, too.
So there's the stability we need.
At this point the House of Commons are the greatest drain on finances & the greatest threat to our future.

Perhaps.
But without Sabbath Eddie would have struggled to even get seen. The pupil can always be greater than the teacher but the kernel of the lesson is at his/her heart.
I mean Tony only had 6 fingers that worked properly but still managed to be the GOAT.
Sabbath were original in every way.
Also,apple-a-holic made me chuckle.
What a guy...
I thought so!
Even if it had been voted on,and the 'Remain in Place' had won I reckon she'd have ignored it.
Fair play..
My Dad would sing Mikado to me in the pram.
It's ingrained.
Mum is still performing G&S, one per year.
I think she's done the whole cycle about 3 times.
I'm rather pleased your daughter has made that choice.
It's made my day!
I hope she does well.
Hmmm.
It's Ness we're talking about, isn't it?
I'm guessing out & about.
No vote necessary, in fact, superfluous.
