Brexit and the Parliamentary Vote
Why is the Prime Minister allowed to have multiple votes on her Brexit deal whilst the proletariat are just allowed the one vote? And now I read that the Chancellor is bribing the DUP to support the deal. Talk about one law for them and another law for us.
I am a retired Consulting IT Specialist. I have been married to Julia for 50 yearsrs and we are blessed with four children; David, Andrew, Lawrie and Hélèna. Not forgetting the "other half's"; Gaew married to Andrew, Lawrie's partner Emma and Hélèna's husband Sam.
In addition we have two grandchildren - Henry Thomas, son of Lawrie and Emma. Henry was eight in April 2021 and his sister, Georgia Rose, born on 29 December 2017.
I am ordained as a Permanent Deacon in the RC Church - date of ordination 8 June 2013 so am now in my ninth year of ministry.
